way to cure deafness, and that is by constitn-

Pullman.
President E. A. Bryan, of the Wash
ington State college, has just received
notice Of his appointment as temporary
president Of the State Berkshire associ-
alton, which is affiliated with the
American Berkshire congress. Presi-
dent Bryan's appointment is the begin
ming Of the organization OF the Berk-
shire association in the state of Wash
ington. This association reaches
through nearly all the states o. the
union, and in the opinion of President
Bryan, its coming into the state of
Washington marks an important step
in the livestock industry Of the North
west. Discussing the matter President
Bryan said:
81 believe the Berkshire association
is one of the most active and successful
livestock associations in the United
States, and that its work in the North
west cannot fail to produce good re-
suits. The Berkshire is favored by
many of the most prominent stock
raisers in America, among whom l
might mention Nick Gentry, Of Se-
dalia. Missouri, who is the greatest
breeder of Berkshire hogs in the coun-
try; Reuben Gentry, of Kentucky; Mr..
Hood, Of Hoods Sarsaparilla' fame;
and George Vanderbilt, of Asheville,
Tennessee. Among the most promi-
nent breeders Of Berkshires in the
Northwest are the Ladd estate, of Port
land, and Mr.. Paul Clagstone, Of spo-
kane. ] have raised Berkshire hogs
on my Pussy Willow ranch near Pull
man for the past ten years, and am
thoroughly convinced Of the desirable
qualities Of this breed.
"It is proposed by the Berkshire
association to conduct an active cam
paign in the state Of Washington, in
favor Of this breed Of hogs, prior to the
Alaska Yukon exposition at Seattle.
Then by the time of the exhibit, our
state organization will be able to get
up splendid exhibit, and we will
show the farmers Of the state what sort
of an animal the Berkshire is when
proper attention is given him. Yes,
it is very likely that the state expert
ment station will have few Berk-
shires at the exhibit. At the present
time we have some specimens of this
breed that have been pronounced by
the best Eastern experts as equal to
anything in the United States"
President Bryan today announced his
appointment of the officers and direc-
tors Of the state association who will
work with him in getting the Berkshire
association esta ablished in Washington.
They follow:
Vice president, Paul Clagstone, spo.
kane; secretary, ]. H. Smith, Pullman

Directors: A. M. Stevens, Ellepsburg;

The Belle Islers a novel by Richard
Brinsley Newman Profusely illustrated
by Wallace Goldsmith, illustrator on
the Staff of the Boston Herald"
This is a unique book which is bound
to attract wide notice 1t is the keenly
humorous account of life in country
town as experienced by the family of a
minister of supplemented honesty
which quality is fully taken advantage
of by the towns people. One of the
supposed family writes the story, and
is really a prominent clergyman who
withholds his name. The shrewdness.
the hypocrisy, the shiftlessness, and
the partially redeeming goodness of
heart to be found in unpromising
individuals are all brought out in a
way that strikes home to the reader,
while the pathos that is never far from
real hunor is strongly present. The
deep underlying purpose of the author
lis by ridicule to teach mean human
nature a lesson and shame it into
better fashions. even as Cervantes
laughed away the absurd outworn
,chivalry of Spain in Don Quixote.'
The remarkably clever work of Mr..
Wallace Goldsmith, the favorite artist
of the Boston Herald does much to
bring out the mirthful qualities of the
book. while his quaint cover design
shows that he understands it to be far
more than mere fun-maker. great as
it is in that respect. Price, $1.50.

The Brazilian coffee planters have
united In a movement to advertise COT
fee throughout Europe as a means of
increasing it's use there. There is little
need of such advertising in this coun-
try. but in Europe the consumption of
coffee is small as compared with that
of tea and beer, and so while in this
country the newspapers are filled with
advertisements of coffee substitutes
those of Europe will tell the virtues of
coffee itself. The movement is similar
to that by which this country for a
term of years diligently advertised
American corn in Europe for the sake
of increasing the market for this pro-
duction of our soil There is now nc
lack of demand in Europe for Ameri-
can corn and it is quite likely the Bra

The Third District Convention.

At the Third District convention
which was held at Waterville yesterday
the Republicans of central Maine made
a splendid beginning for the 1905 CAIN
paign. The convention was large
and enthusiastic gathering of represen-
tative men in the four counties which
make up the district and their deliber-
atoms were marked by harmony and
by q very manifest determination to
win decisive. victory at the polls in
September. The denomination of
Congressman Burleigh was a foregone
conclusion, but all of the delegates
present, and especially the speakers Of
the convention improved the occasion
to give eloquent and emphatic ex-
preston of their high esteem for the
representative from this district, their
appreciation of his faithful and effec-
tive work in Washington. and their
gratitude for all that he has been able
to accomplish for his constituents.
MIR. Nelson of Waterville, who made
the nominating speech, is looked upon
as one of the coming orators of Maine
and his effort yesterday was master
w one His address, which was ably
followed by Senator Deasy of Bar Har-
Dor and Mr. Frost of Belfast in second
ing speeches, aroused much enthusiasm
and won the speakers many compll-
ments. The platform which was adopt
ed is published in full in the proceed
ings of the convention elsewhere in
this issue. 1t speaks with no uncertain
sound, and is commended to the care
full attention of the Republicans of the
Third district. In the selection of Mr..
Goodwin of Skowhegan and Mr.. Boyd
of Augusta as the representatives Of
the district to the national convention
at Chicago, it was made certain that
the Republicans of this district will be
ably and creditably represented. In all
respects the delegates did their work
WELL
One of the best things about the con-
vention was the encouraging report
which the delegates brought from all
parts of the district. Throughout the
towns and cities of Kennebec, Somer-
set, Waldo and Hancock, the Republi-
cans are wide awake to the Importance
of the coming campaign and deter
mined to roll up an old-time majority
for the party ticket in September. They
are ready, as they were in 1906 to
call the Democratic bluff and demon
strate at the polls the shallow char
acter of the claims which the Demo-
Gratis are making. This is a Presiden-
tial year. 1t is a Republican year
throughout the country. 1t is a Repub-
lican year here in Maine. The Repub-
licans of the Third district will be fol-
lowed by those throughout the State
in doing the right thing at the various
conventions and in standing shoulder
to shoulder in loyal, harmonious, and
enthusiastic fashion until one of the
best victories is won in all the more
than half a century of Republican VIC
tories in Maine.

What 10000 Americans Say.

"Straw votes" as they are called
may or may not be of any great sig
nticance. but they are always inter-
esting. The well-known magazine
Success. has recently submitted ques-
tions on matters of current political
interest to 1900 of it's subscribers in
all parts of the country and received
about 10000 answers which are tabu-
lated in the latest issue of that maga-
zine. The answers come from people
of all ages and all walks in life, and
the editor remarks that he Lad nf
means of knowing the political afiilla-
tons or sympathies5 of those to whom
the QUE stions were sent. The result OF
this straw vote is worthy Of d careful
inspection by thoughtful citizens. and
we submit the questions and the an
swcrs without further comment.
The first question was: SHOULD tn:
government exercise a stronger contro
over corporations doing an interstate
business?" The affirmative votes or
this question amounted to 9,14G and the
negative to 2O9. The second question
relating to the reporting of lnterstat.
business to the government, was an
swered in about the same way, the vote
standing 9,1o1 ayes and PA noes.
"Do you believe that these reforms
should be carried out, even if in doina
this there should be risk of tempo
rarily unsettling business conditions"
This question was answered Affirmative
iy by 9,007 persons. and negatively by
219. The next question was whether
the subscribers would support the Pres
ident and Congress in carrying out cor
poration reforms, even il it meant per
sonal sacrifice in the form of money
panics and restriction of bank credits
The answer to this was in the affirma-
tive by 9.137 to IT'S.
The greatest difference in opinion
was on the fifth question:: do you be-
lieve in the policy of permanently re-
tanning the Philippine Islands," The
ayes were SPA and the noes 1894.
The sixth question was: Would you
approve liberal appropriations 10y Con.
gress for the upbuilding of the Ameri-
can navy for the purpose solely OF
properly defending our present sea-
coast and island possessions and of in
creasins our prestige among nations?'
The answer to this was S.21S ayes and
LOSS noes.
The seventh question asked the sub.
scriber whether he approved the policy
of eNpending vast sums for the de-
velopment of national resources. such
as the Panama Canal. Improvement OF
waterways, irrigation of arid lands
etc. The affirmative votes were sos
and the negative 266.

velt?" was the eighth question. On
this side the Vbte stood: Ayes, SEAS;
noes, 66s. The writer's did not state
their political belief, and the editor
remarks that he had no means of
knowing the political affiliations of his
subscribers.
The ninth question was: "Wl'o would
be your Iirst and second choices for
the Presidency during the next four
years?' The answers are tabulated as
follows:
