A FEUNION OF OLD FRIENDS.

Recently in company with Mrs. Sarah
Haskell we spent the day in Belfast with
three old ladies', friends of our youth.
They Were Sally, Elizabeth and Fanny
Hazeltine, whose father for many years
kept hotel in Searsmont, 1.-The Hazel
tine House" Well do | remember the
singing school in ''Hazeltine' S Hall' at a
time when dozen or more candles made
the scene as brilliant to our unsophlstlcat-
ed minds as does nowadays gas and cleo
tricity for college bred students OF art and
science.
Though all trace of recognition is
gone, we find them somewhat crippled in
body but with faculties well preserved
and intellect keenly alive to the affairs
of to-day eagerly grasplng the papers to
learn the local and political news and dis
cuss the election returns. Listening to
the jolly conversation with the grocery
man and the friendly greeting of the but
ter woman and neighbors who drop In,
| concluded that as of old they are favor
ties still.
On account of slight defect in hearing
we are obliged to keep pretty close to-
gether in order to be understood. Once
we were informed, eff we did not get
out of the kitchen we wouldn't get any
dinner" but when the time came We
were beautifully supplied, and with incli,,
nation strong and appetites fine we found
them still proficient in the culinary line,
and so we Toasted and chatted till the
time came when the best of friends must
part, and we left with choicest blessings
on their dear old heads

Walter F. Frederick Nominated

The Republican County Convention
which met last night nominated Mr..
Walter F.. Frederick for clerk OF the Su-
preme Judicial Court, and Mr.. Arthur w.
Dolan for register of Probate. Although
Mr.. Frederick is Republican, he has
never been actively engaged in politics.
Mr.. Dolan is a Democrat. Each of these
candidates is the present incumbent OF
the office for which he has been nominal
ed by the Republican County Convention
In making these nominations the Repub-
lican party has acted in accordance with
the best traditions of local government.
Designating small and partisan politics,
it has gone on record as supporting for
important county offices men who are at
present administering them well and
faithfully. 1t is to be hoped that the
Democrats will follow the same lines and
will nominate the same men for their
respective offices. By all means let us
keep the courts out of politics.-Boston

AROOSTooK-LAND OF FULFILMENT.

Aroostook's blessings this year are so
many we can not even think of them all
at once-beautiful spring, more beauti-
full summer, most beautiful autumn; hay
crop large and of best quality; grain fair
and fine; almost as big potato crop as
the biggest, and best quality ever, with
no rust or rot; $3.50 to $1.75 from the
field for potatoes; the best time ever
dreamed Of to harvest them; help more
plentiful and lower in price than for
years-but why go on? Truly every
thing has come Aroostook's way in this
bumper year Of 1908. Star Herald

Letter from California.

The People vs.. the Railroad. The No
License Campaign. Frank S. Forbes
Leader.
Los ANGELES, CALF, Oct. 8, 1908. l
was pleased to see the cut OF the old
rooster again in your last issue. l say
"old rooster" because l have seen him,
or one that looks like him, in the same
place in every issue of The Journal fol-
lowing the State election as far back as
my memory runs. Whether it is the same
old bird, or new product of the old one,
it looks good to a son OF Name three
thousand miles away to see him again in
the act of growing, even if the victory is
not so great as it has been in other days.
May he live long and crow the more lus-
tily in the years to come.
In California our fight is always at the
primary election in August when dele
gates are elected to the county and State
conventions. The contest here is not so
much between the two parties as 1t is be-
tween the two elements in each party.
The issue in this State for the last twenty
five years has been, and is now, whether
the people shall rule the State, or the
Southern Pacific Railroad continue to
rule it, as it has for the last quarter OF a
century. The Lincoln Roosevelt element
of the Republican party this year put in
issue platform, which is outlined as fol-
lows:
l. The emancipation of the Republican
party in California from domination by
the Southern Pacific railroad company
and allied interests.
2. The selection of delegates at the
primaries on August 18th to the next Re-
publican county convention pledged to
nominate for Assemblymen, State Sena-
tors and county officers, men who will
represent all of the people instead OF the
railroad machine.
9. The enactment Of such primary
election law as shall afford the voter a
direct vote in the selection of party can
didates.
4. The election of United States Sena-
tors by direct vote of the people.
5. The penalizing of rebating and dis
elimination and the granting of free
transportation by railroad companies.
6. The enactment of a reciprocal de-
murrage bill.
Z. The enactment of stringent anti
race-tract gambling bill.
This was the first real organized cam
paign in the history of the State to eman-
cipate the party from the control Of the
railroad machine, and while we did not
elect the majority of the delegates the
anti-machine minority was of sufficient
influence to have placed in the platform
adopted by the convention four out OF
five of the Lincoln-Roosevelt planks.
There seems to be but little interest
taken in the national campaign in this
State. This is one of the certain Repub-
lican States, and this will in part account
for the inactivity in national politics.
l inclose clipping from the Los Ange-
les News, which shows something Of our
efforts in this State in the interest of
clean politics.

THE OLDEST MASON.

Editor Stephen Berry of the masonic
Token is anxious to learn who is the
oldest living Mason in Maine. He asks
the brethren to help him by sending in
the date of initiation of any still living
who were initiated before 1851. The old
est in Portland is j. Ambrose Merrill,
initiated in Portland Lodge, Sept. 10,
1851. The next is Josiah Pierce, initial
ed in Ancient Landmark Lodge, August
4, 1852. The last named has lived in Eng
land for many years, where he was knight
ed in 1865. He was born in Gorham in
1927, graduated from Bowdoin in 1S47,
and has become blind in recent years.

Sanitary Notes
From the Bulletin of the State Board
of Health.


The following are few notes which
We're made from the last annual reports
OF the local boards of health. 1t IS
gratifying to learn that considerable
number of the local boards are careful
to have clothing, bedding, and rooms
which have been used or occupied py
consumptive patients carefully dlsln1ect-
ed. That is very necessary work ana
should not be overlooked or neglected IN
any town.
The local board of health in one town
advises that cases of tuberculosis De
quarantined. There is, however, no need
OF action Of that kind, unless possibly IN
cases OF a very few refractory patients
1t should be said that this recommends
ton comes from village in which there
has been very Objectionable practlce
on the part of one sick person, IN per-
slstently splitting on the floors OF stores
and other public places.
One suggestion made by the secretary
of a local board of health, though a lit
tie outside of the ordinary sphere OF the
duty of local boards is good and import
ant. 1t is, to devise ways of preventing
the minds of children from being poison
ed by contact with immoral persons so
that their minds are crippled for life.
There would be less serious preva-
lence of the cold weather diseases if the
suggestions of DR.. Taylor, secretary OF
Pittsfeld were observed. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that many people, even
now in this so-called enlightened age,
still persist in closing their sleeping
rooms tightly at night, and many, are
slowl y failing in health as result OF
breathing polluted air. 1t is true that
many alternating human comes out IN
the spring as thin in blood as the hlber-
mating bruin does in flesh.

Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup is used
nearly everywhere, because it not only heals
irritation of the throat and stops the cough,
but it drives the cold out of the system
through its laxative principle by assuring a
free and gentle action of the bowels, and that
is the only way to cure cold. You can't cure
it as long as you are constipated. Insist upon

than has ever before been put in readable
form.
The life of Thomas Bailey Aldrich; by
Ferris Greenslet, associate editor of The
Atlantic Monthly has been published by
Houghton, Mitfiin Company, Boston, in
single volume. In this authorized biogra-
ply Mr. Aldrichs personality stands re-
vealed with a completeness, vividness,
and reality that make the book the kind
of biography that lives. The volume is
grounded largely upon the poets letters.
Mr.. Aldrich was an admirable letter
writer, and his friendly, witty, and wise
correspondence will take its place among
the best American letters. In addition
to an uncommonly rich mass of manu-
script material which Mr.. Greenslet has
had at his disposal, he had the advantage
of intimacy with the poet during the last
years of his life. The correspondence
which is brought together reflects the
friendship of that interesting and import
ant group of New York writer's and art
lists which included Bayard Taylor, R. H.
Stoddard, E. C. Stedman, N P. Willis,
Fitz-Greene Halleck, Edwin Booth, and
others Of less eminence, and there is some
very interesting early correspondence
with Mr.. Clemens MARK Twain, Mr..
Howells, Holmes, Hawthorne and Long
fellow, printed for the first time. The
volume is illustrated with rare and unfa-
miliar portraits of Aldrich and his friends,
pictures of his homes and haunts, fac
SMILES of manuscript, caricature draw
ings, etc., etc., and contains in addition
complete and accurate photography of
Aldrich's writings. 1t will be needed by
every public library in Maine, and has
been ordered for the Belfast Free Library.
