For over 40 years Colonel Murphy mas

years an alderman, but he is so dis

Murphy is Civil War veteran, has

that Androscoggin will come back in

Chemical Food Preservatives.
(Pittsburg Dispatch.)

DIR. Wiiey's experiments with benzo1c
acid and benzoate of soda result in the
usual demonstration of the deleterious
character of chemical mixtures for the
preservation of food products. 1t may
be recalled that it was cOntended by
those who wish to use these ingredients
in the preparation of jams and jellies,
cider, grape juice and mincemeat that
they were harmless.
Tested on exceptionally robust MEM
bers of the poison squad the eating
of food containing these chemicals re-
suited in loss of weight, diminution Of
the blood corpuscles. nausea and other
bad effects. Dr. Wiley holds, not with
out reason, that persons of less bodily
vigor would suffer more severely,
though perhaps that might be offset by
the fact that the average person would
probably cat less steadily of the foods
thus prescribed and in a few cases they
might prove medicinal
But the case against the employment
of these chemicals is clinched by the
statement of the chief chemist of the
Agricultural Department that every
thing in which they are employed can
be preserved by other methods that are
absolutely harmless. 1t may cost a lit
tie more to preserve them that way,
but the increased value of the product
will be many times more than the en-

Gardner GeneraIizes.

todHSOT NeWS.)
Neither the Fernald or the Gardner
platform has anything to say regarding
the tariff this year. but both the Taft
and the Bryan platforms declare un-
equivocally in behalf of tariff revision,
though even the Denver document does
not go far as the original Watterson
declaration of "a tariff for revenue
only" an announcement which helped
to elect Cleveland in 1884 and helped
to defeat him in 1858, and the attempt
ed carrying out of which declaration
plunged the country into hard times
in ClevelandS second administration,
and made free silver heresies of Will
liam J. Bryan very acceptable to the
Democratic party of the nation for the
next eight years
When prosecution is undertaken
against any alleged evil it is the duty
of the plaintiff to be specific, and to
state just when, where and how the
injury has been wrought. In accept
ing his nomination before the Bangor
convention Mr.. Gardner declared
That he heartily approved of the
platform which had been prepared for
him at Watcrvile-naively cOnfessing
meantime that he did not expect TO live
long enough to see it's promises full
fllled-and then wandered, off into de-
Dating the causes which led to the fall
Of the Roman empire and why Angus
tus Caesar and Constantine, both OF
whom were chosen by the army, were
SO much worse than Julius Caesar who
was chosen by the precisely similar
methods, though with apuarent1y more
reluctance. Later on Mr.. Gardner
touched upon the removal of tariff on
articles admitted for the rebuilding of
San Francisco. and then wandered off
INTO an argument to show why tim
berland5 should be taxed higher be-
cause the actual cost Of lumber had
doubled within n very few years. Pre-
Vlous to his nomination, which Mr.
Gardner told the convention has come
to him "unSOlicited and unsought," the
Rockland Granger had written a
signed editorial in the Boston Sunday
Globe. in which he insisted that tariff
revision was the chief and practically
the only issue before the people this
year, though the platform-prepared in
Waterville--upOn which Mr. Gardner
was nominated said nothing about the
tariff
One would dearly like to have Mr..
Gardner come out and specify exactly
where and how he would have the
tariff revised, and make his specifica-
tions bear strongly upon articles pro-
duced right here in Maine where Mr..
Gardner is making u canvess for Gov
ernOr.

An Armory Of Weapons.
louisville Herald.)

The speech of Mr.. Taft is one of the
most comprehensive utterances ever
made by candidate at the beginning
of contest for the presidential office.
In later speeches there may be clabOra-
ton of some of the points that are dis
cussed in this, but we cannot imagine
the candidate finding any absolutely
new ground that will require to be COW
cred.
Mr.. Taft has lightened the task of
his associates i'll this campaign by pro-
viding so thorough and explicit a
guide TO the Republican policies and
platform. His speech will be a verita-
BILE armory of weapons and ammuni-
ton for thousand advocates through
ont the country. 1t deserves careful
reading by every man who desires TO
be really conversant with the political
situation and the points of divergence
between Repubicanism and Democracy
in the present campaign.
Mr. Taft in his speech brings out
this contrast between the two parties
time AMI time again, as ne compares
the rec concentrations Of the Republican
platform with those of the Bryan prod
uct. In no instance is this more clearly
shown, perhaps, than in the matter OF
the attitude of the two leaders toward
the trust question. Mr.. Taft takes the
ground of broad minded, sane states
man, who sees the economic tendency
of the day to combination and realizes
the economic wisdom and value of unit
ed capital and united effort. The WORD
trust" to Mr.. Taft is not in itself Il
bugaboo.
This first utterance of the Republican
candidate leaves nothing to be desired.
1t is difficult to see where Mr.. Bryan
can score in his reply to it, for his own
notification speech will be necessarily
something of Il reply. 1t is document
that will form the backbone of the CAM
paign; loyal to the platform of Chicago,
yet so much more explicit and so much
stronger that it will probably super
sede that production as an authorita-
tive statement of the Republican posi-
ton.
