Mrs Sarah F. Healey with her
daughter, Mrs. Gabrielle Healey Du-
puts, both of Florence, Italy, and son,
Leon R. Healey, Esq, of Rome, ac-
companied by A. Augustus Healey of
Brooklyn, N. Y. were in town the

formerly Massachusetts, lady, was
married 81 years ago and she and her
husband, the late Stephen Weston
Healey, went to Italy on their we'd
ding journey. They remained abroad
for some years and Mr.. Healey's death
occurred in Florence. The present
visit is the first that Mrs. Healey has
made to America for thirty-seven
years ard her son and daughter are
now seeing this country, the home of
their ancestors, for the first time.
Skowhegan is among the places of in
terest to them because it was the
home of Stephen Weston, their great
grandfather, for whom their father,
the late Stephen Weston Healey
above mentioned, was named. The
ancestral home was the brick house
on the Norridgewock road, now a
part of the property embraced in the
Parochial Farms. They also found
relatives here, descendants of tt Q
above mentioned Stephen Weston,
among them Mrs. E. T. Goodrich and
the Rev. A. II. Currier of Oberlin,
who is visiting here. Mr.. Leon Heal
ey and his sister, Mrs. Dupuis, were
especially interested in the records
available here which pertained to
their family history and spent consid-
cradle time in their consultation.

Republican Meeting at Convent Hall

Notwithstanding the fact that about
two fifths of the residents of Skowhe-
gan understand the French language,
we have very rarely, perhaps never,
up to the present campaign, had an
address In that tongue On political is
sues. The present instance was on
Tuesday evening at Convent Hall and
the speaker was Mr.. A. Bonneau, ed
itor and proprietor of ala Justice" a
paper published at Blddeford. Com
pany E Band played in the area be-
fore the meeting and as opportunity
offered during the evening. There
were seated on the platform besides
the speaker, Edward F. Danforth,
Esq, Skowhegan's representative to
the 73d Legislature and the Republi-
can nominee for reelection to the
same office, also Messrs Chas. E.
Young and George W. Cover o, the
Republican town committee, Leslie
E. Jacobs, a member of the 73d Legis-
lature, now Republican candidate for
the Office OF Sheriff and Thomas j.
Thobodeau who was the chairman of
the meeting.
The speaker was introduced by Mr..
Thibodeau at 7.45 and spoke for one
and one half hours, wholly In French.
In opening he devoted a few min
utes to expressing his pleasure at the
progress of affairs in St. Mary's
Parish and especially his apprecia-
ton of the fine schools and school
buildings. The remainder of his ad-
dress was occupied with the discus
sion of political issues and in demon
strating the wisdom of continuing the
Republican party in power in the
state and nation. He held the atten-
ton of the audience closely and was
frequently applauded.

FELICITY
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-01-23
Mr.. HearSt's Declaration of
INDEPENDENCE.

The independence League Copyright
ed by William Randolph Hearst) held
state meeting in Indiana on January
II. This collection of the faithful was
made by Our genial and astute friend, Mr..
A. c. Walsh. In letter addressed to
that gentleman, Mr.. Hearst states, at
length, his views on national affairs.
The document, like everything put
forth by Mr.. Hearst, indicates his great
ability. Also, his great shrewdness. The
tone of the letter is one of se1f-restraint
and calm. Adjectives have been e1ini-
mated with unsparing severity. Urban
ity and placidity prevail. The great pub
Usher manages to say, first and last, that
he does want considerable amount of
revolution, but he is careful to say that
he is in no hurry for it, is willing to move
along at an easy gait that will not alarm
anybody and, upon the whole, prefers
rose-water to blood, and will take his
omelette without the breaking of eggs
if the thing can possibly be managed.
Our young lion still has much of his
strength but has snapped his roar for
a note of fute-like melody.
Mr.. Hearst starts out by saying, mild
ly, that "the right to issue money should
be inherent in the government"
Why Should be-?
Proceeding, Mr.. Hearst declares him
self in favor of having the Government
issue the money (paper money, evident
ly) to the national banks which, in turn,
shall pass it on to the people. The ma
tional banks shall pay the Government
something for the use of this money

ues, disturb markets and precipitate pan
les. They set an evil example which cor
rupts youth and encourages imitation in
every city of the Union.
Are we putting any of these criminals
in prison?
Their crimes are notorious. The evils
they inflict upon the country are nation
al in their sweep. The law is plain, the
evidence accessible the public prosecu-
tors provided; yet nobody lifts finger
against them. Morgan, Ryan and Pat
Calhoun came down here and stole the
Central Railroad from it's owners and
not one of the stockholders who had
been outrageously robbed ever appeared
to have thought of taking out warrant
against the robbers!
After stealing the Central Railroad, I'M
der fimsy legal forms, Ryan then stole
the Seaboard Air -watered the
stocks and bonds until they could hold
no more, and then stepped from under.
Send such rascal to prison?
Why, he gave the Catholic Church
million dollars in lump, and he carries
the Virginia delegation to the National
Democratic convention in his private
car!

Reflections.

S~~~~S~s@Oe
Not long ago, Brother Seely, of the
Georgian, wrote this for his paper:
s"The whole world is changing is get
ting better. Thought is healthier-life is
longer-homes are happier-men are
richer-all goes more smoothly because
men know themselves better Twenty
years ago the United States had $4,000
men in prisons we have twenty
million more population and only $1,000
i'll prison The world is getting better
and why not all help it along?"
When you hear, or read, that Mr. So
and So is an optimist, don't search the
dictionary to find out what an optimist
is, but simply re-read the above para
graph.
'The world is getting better" Even
Decatur Street, Atlanta, has a Sunday
School look I wonder where are the vi
cious men and women who made De-
catur Street notorious? Have they I'M
dergone any change? Have we not sim
ply driven the bad people from one place
to another?
Life is longer Is it? Averages
prove nothing, save the simplicity of
those who pin faith to them. The aver
age wealth of John Rockefeller, F. L.
Seely, and the man in the Poor House
may be truthfully stated in millions, but
that doesn't keep the man in the Poor
House from being a pauper. According
to the average" he is a millionaire In
actual fact, he hasn't dollar
Thought is healthier" Whose
thought? The streams of foul literature
never were at higher water-mark than
they are today and i'll the play-houses
the appeal is to the lusts of men-not to
their loftier natures.
Homes are happier" Whose?
In the dwellings, of the rich are such
orgies of adultery, double-living, and di-
vorce as the world never saw before; and
in the homes of the poor is the cold
hearth and the empty plate Why preach
of happy homes when the rich are so
bestial, and when the wolf of hunger
bowls at the door of million breadwin~
ners?
men are richer" Yes-some are. A
few have had the making of our laws

Of the unprivileged millions in order that
they themselves should amass fabulous
wealth. Our Privileged few are richer:
our unprivileged millions of producers
are poorer. The wine-line grows more
brilliant: the bread line longer and more

''All goes more smoothly" Where?
In the cities there are riots, and mutter-
ings more oninous than riots. In the
country there are, slowly gathering, vast
clouds of angry discomfort. In three diff

a thing has never happened before. In
Nevada, in Indiana, in Kentucky, claw

only $1,000 in prison"
Alas, that it should be So We have
at least million who ought to be in
prison, but we cannot send them there.
Paul Morton said that he was criminal
But he did not go to prison. He went in
to Rooseve1t's Cabinet, and from there
to an $50, 900 job as President of the
Equitable. Perkins, of J. P Morgan's
firm, admitted that he stole $4,000 of
the Insurance Co. funds, but as he gave
the money to the Republican Campaign
fund the Courts decided that he hadn't
done anything wrong. McCurdy, Hyde,
Peabody and all the other criminals who
had been fattening on the trust funds of
the Insurance companies, went free.
Hartman, Ryan, Belmont, Rockefeller,
Rogers and hundreds of others of the
same stripe commit all sorts of crimes

cided that Schmidt and Reuff didn't COM
