A POINTER FOR BUSCH

1t seems that Adolphus Busch, the
great St. Louis brewer, has returned
from his winter upon the Pacific coast
in no very pleasant frame of mind. Pos
sibly hesTa bit sore from the drub-
bings he got at the hands of c. J. Hall.
Anyway, in a recent interview in St.
Louis, he denounced Prohibition as
insane, foolish and idiotic," and de-
clared that the only supporters of the
Prohibition theory are "a lot of women
and children and number of reverend
gentlemen Mr. Busch's attitude has
not made good impression even in his
own city and the PoSt-DiSbatch admon
ishes him as follows:
If Prohibition shall become an issue
III Missouri it will be necessary for
wiser men and men less directly inter
csted than Mr.. Busch to oppose it on
high grounds of public policy and
personal liberty Why should he,
with exaggerated speech and con-
femptuous reference, make the con-

One of the charity organizations of

of the financial depression of the past
months, it comes out of the winter, for
the first time in seventeen years with
funds in its treasury and no applicants

that during the past ten years, which
covers the most prosperous era ever
known, they were always overburdened
with charity calls. never during that
period having any funds ahead, and yet
after three months of Prohibition there
was a surplus on hand, with no call

Bryan ought to be credited with West
Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, As well
as the habitually democratic states Of the
solid South. This would mean 176 votes
in the electoral college, with PAP necessary
to a choice.
Then every body who knows anything at
all about the country beyond the Missis-
sippi river knows that the far West is radi-
cal to degree that may be called rabid.
Mr.. Bryan represents, and will represent
in the minds Of the voters of that terri
tory, the next best exponent Of the radi-
caiism up to which President Roosevelt
has educated them. These voters believe
thoroughly in everything which Mr..
Roosevelt has done, and they wanted him
for third term because they believed
that he would do more along radical lines.
They will incline to the candidate who
looks to them like the man TO go on to
hotter radicalism.

WILLIAM 7. THOMPSON.

William T. Thompson, of Trenton, died
at the Eastern Maine general hospital in
Bangor Friday, after an operation.
Death was entirely unexpected, and the
news OF it was great shock to his many
friends in Ellsworth and his home town.
MIR. Thompson was born in st. Marys,
Ca, fifty-two years ago, but came to Tren-
ton with his parents when an infant. His
father was the late K. K. Thompson, for
SO many years connected with the Mt.
Desert toll bridge at Trenton. At twenty
years OF age Mr.. Thompson began going
to sea, and soon rose to the post Of master
mariner, going foreign voyages. He re-
tired from the sea nine years ago, and had
since lived at his Trenton home.
Besides his mother, Mrs. A. C. Thomp-
son, he leaves one sister j. A..
Thompson, Of Ellsworth, and brother
Clifford, of Trenton.
Funeral services were held at the home

THE WESTERN DEMOCRAT.

(Omaha cor. Netc York Sum-
So far as the result of the pending cam
paign is concerned, the average western
democrat says, with perfect frankness, that
he expects defeat. This is not for publ
cation, to be sure; "a landslide, of
course" is the statement that is to be
quoted. Similarly, not for quotation, the
western democrat explains that he expects
defeat because Of two things President
Roosevelt and the treachery of the eastern
democrats. He may cherish fond hope
that New York can be carried for Bryan
shut reckon it is too much to expect"
he concludes.
The really interesting fact is that this
western democrat is discussing some
thing entirely outside OF the result of the
coming election. He is talking about the
permanent results of the Denver conven-
tion in the democratic party. He says:
1--WE have shown those eastern demo-
Gratis once and for all time that their
domination of the party in the nation is
over, that the leadership of Wall street in
the democratic party is thing of the past.
Thank God!'
Perhaps the easterner may venture to
ask him what will happen when the east
ern democrat cuts the ticket and Bryan is
defeated. Such question produces fire.
works instantly.
''Let 'em cut the ticket,n is the reply.
anyway, We have made beginning and
we intend to go right on. We people out
here had damn sight rather lose as radi-
Gals than win as conservatives. We are
going to fight upon these principles until
we do win"
Similarly he expresses the belief that
the time has come to say to the democrats
of the East, of New York in particular:
''Follow us-or get out of the party"
The plain truth is that the western
democrat has gone off the political res
ervation with a moral Ratchet in his hand,
his soul is filed with a lust for the scalps
of reactionaries, those creatures Of the
trusts; he is talking about time and
eternity as if they were mere miles of
prairie, and ever and anon he pauses in his
war dance to emit with appropriate gesture
and horrid tone his familiar war cry:
'sTo hell with the East, the corporation
crushed, boss-ridden, effete old East!''

Congressman Powers Dead.

Hon. Llewellyn Powers, member of
Congress from the fourth Maine dis
trict, and governor of the State from
1897 to 1901, died at his home at Houl-
ton Tuesday morning. Death fol-
lowed an illness lasting since early
spring, when Mr.. Powers was forced
to leave Washington by an attack of
the grip. Later Bright's disease de-
veloped, and, complicated with heart
trouble, rendered his condition seri-
GUS. He improved temporarily and
on May returned to his home in
Houlton, four days after he had been
unanimously renominated for Con-
gress. Two weeks ago his condition
became critical, and he was uncon-
scious for almost fortnight before
his death on Tuesday.
The news OF the death of Congress-
man Powers, though not unexpected,
was received with deep regret
throughout the State, and expressions
of appreciation Of his public services,
from the press and prominent men,
are heard on every side. Senator
Hale says Of him:
1.-THE State and country have lost a most
able and valuable public servant in the death
Of Gov. Powers. He held very high rank in
politics, and was recognized a strong man.
He was well equipped for office. and was a
strong and courageous figure in our affairs.
He was never found on two sides OF any ques-
tion, but was always square and open. Per-
sonally shall miss him greatly. We were
warm friends and almost always agreed upon
all public questions, and especially upon
Maine policies. 1 very greatly mourn his
loss"
