DOING SOMETHING.

When a Church does some
thing for the uplift of humanity,
then it is doing something. Con-
stant preaching and appeals to
Christians for more or higher
salary for the preacher are not
Christian precepts. The Church
that throws away selhshness and
does something to establish real
religion is the Church that is en-
titled to the support of Chris
tians.
What a beautiful example the
10Th Street Baptist Church has
set. Read the report, in another
column, of The Bee, of the Ami
versary Of the Dispensary and the
banquet to its physicians. Just
see what this great church has
done for humanity, from Novem-
Der p. 1907, to November II,
1908. Is there another Church
in this city, pastored by a colored
American, that makes a similar
showing?
Those who failed to honor the
physicians at theI9th Street Bap-
tist Church last week, with their
presence, missed one of the great
est events that has ever taken
place in the history of this city.
1t was an occasion that should
appeal to the sympathy and sup
port of the ninety thousand color
ed people. Dr. Brooks made a
suggestion that should cause the
colOred members of the bar to
blush. He suggested the propri-
ETY. of the legal members of the
Church to organize for self pro-
lection. DR.. Brooks suggests a
plan that cOlOred lawyers. them
selves, have failed to embrace.
1t is the purpose of the physi-
clans connected with this dispen-
sary to establish hospital. Is
this not cOmmendable?
What greater monument can
be erected to perpetuate the
memory of the 10Th Street Bap-
tist Church?
The colored citizens have made
efforts to do something for a
number of years and The Bee is
confident that a more worthy en-
terprise could not be established
than a colored hospital in connec-
ton with this dispensary.

Get Out The Vote.

The Pressure Isle Star Herald reads
its Republican friends lesson which
other towns may study with profit.
1t points out that while the Republi-
can enrolment in Pressure Isle is be-
tween 900 and 700, the apathy of two
years ago resulted in such a falling off
that only $50 Republicans voted at
the September election. This not
only keeps down Republican plural
tiles but it reduces the towns repre-
sentation in State, district and coun-
ty OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that brings
it home to the candidate who wishes
his local endorsement to be as strong
as possible.
The party which sees to it that the
vote comes out on election day helps
its candidates and also gives the town
a greater voice in party councils for
the next two years. Ii is point too
often overlooked and the Star Herald
does its party a good turn when it
calls attention to the Importance of
getting every Republican to the polls
in September.
Presque Isle finds itself with but
six delegates this year, only two more
than Blaine, town which has but a
fourth its area and a fifth its number
of polls. Other Maine towns are III
the same class, and by needing the
Star Herald's advice they can bring
back the old order of things at the
September election.

Ona uaa For Chalk.

II read in some paper the other day."
the young man said, "of the arrival of
q shipload of chalk, and | wondered
what under the canopy anybody could
want OF a shipload OF chalk and what
they use chalk for anyway.
Going home last night l got half
dozen little spatters OF mud on my

go out again right away, and really
didn't have time to change my apparel,

he went to his chiffonier and got out
q piece OF chalk. with which he deftly
chalked over those little mud spots 30

Death of Darius Houghton.

Darius Houghton died at $50 Sat-
urday afternoon at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Albert E. Jewett, on
the back road to Waterville. He had
been in feeble health since last April,
when, as stated in this paper at the
time, he met with fall while at work
in the machine shop at the foundry
on Island avenue. From this he
never recovered and death was due
to the shock to which his nervous
system was subjected.
Mr.. Houghton was born Sept. II,
1888, in Madison. The greater part of
his life was passed in that town and
In Skowhegan. lie was by trade ma
chinist and was skilled mechanic.
For many years he was employed at
the Island machine shop ano for some
two years in Madison By the Great
Northern Paper Co. In addition to
the daughter mentioned above he is
survived by one other daughter, Mrs
Dean Swift of Norwood, Mass, VINO
was present at the time of his death.
There are also four grandchildren,
Albert a., Claude and Miss Lucy
Jewett of this town, and Miss Addie
c. Swift of Norwood, Mass.
The funeral was held at ! O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon, the services being
conducted by Rev. Fred A. Leitch,
pastor of the Centenary Methodist
church. The remains were taken to
Madison for interment where prayer
was held at the grave. Mrs. Hough
ton died a number of years ago. He
was a member of the Masonic frater-
nity.

Made tho Judge Perspirs.

Sir John Charles Day, the English
Judge who earned the title of the
"hoollgans terror" died at the age of
eighty-two In the nineteen years Sir
John was judge of the high court
from 1882 to 1901-he was noted for
his gift of solemn humor and for his
drastic flogging sentences. In fourteen
years he sentenced 1877 criminals to
3,766 strokes of the cat. Once he said
to a gang OF Liverpool ruff1ans: Il am
not going to give you men long terms
OF Imprisonment, but when you go In
you get twenty lashes of the cat; when
you have been in nine months you get
twenty lashes OF the cat; before you
come out you get twenty lashes Of the
cat. And then you can show what you
have got to your friends" He was per
haps the only English Judge who ever
did hard labor While on a visit to a
prison he tried the treadmill, but when
he asked to be set free the guard pre-
tended not to hear his request. The
Judge was perspiring freely by the
time he was permitted to abandon his
experiment.

Vaudeville at Boston Theatre.


The week of August 18th at the
Boston Theatre will be notable in
vaudeville on account OF the large
number of local favorites which Mr..
Keith has placed on the bill. Then j.
X. Murray and Clara Lane there are
none more popular; for years they
have been recognized as Boston's
favorite opera singers, and when they
appeared this summer at keith's The :
atre, there were evidences of popu-
larity such as have seldom been
shown at this house. They will APP
pear in a bright vaudeville sketch
which will enable them to introduce
some of their very best musical num-
bers. Equally strong and popular in
the dramatic field is Charles Miller,
the leading man, who will appear
with his company i'll sketch that
will be presented for the first time.
1t is called "By the Freight" aid
tells very pretty and yet very dra-
matte story. 1t is predicted that it
will be one of the seasons successes
in this line. With such strong fea-
lures heading the bill, this five and a
quarter hour show-without question
the longest continuous performance
ever given by manager-will sur
pass any of the big bills that have
been attracting wide attention during
the summer.

A Plea for Drinking Troughs.

If you own dog, do not forget that
this is the season when it needs plenty
of water In England drinking
troughs are provided in every city
and town of any size in front of stores,
along the curb and in public squar es,
for dogs and birds. AS a result there
are almost no case of rabies reported.
Just what dog suffering from thirst
does here in Portland where there
ly separated drinking troughs within
his reach is mystery. So long as we
permit dogs to run the streets we
should also be humane enough to see
that inexpensive drinking troughs are
placed tor them. If this were done
mad dog scares" would be practical

period amount to g4.272.0s, which
makes the net cost OF the commission

which amount the sum of S727 IS was
received from Penobscot county and
the remainder from the county of
Somerset. The total amount of the

During the past year liquor raids
have been made by the deputy en-
forcement commissioners in seven
counties, Androscoggin, Sagadahoc,
Knox, Lincoln, Somerset, Penobscot
and Washington, although men in the
employ of the commission have been

From figures complied in the office
of the State superintendent of schools
it is found that SO cities, towns and
plantations are taking advantage of
the law which encourages towns to
join in the employment of profession
al superintendents of schools.
In addition to these eight of the
cities of the State employ superin-
tendents who give their entire time
to school supervision.
1t is found that 1929 schools of the
State are thus brought under expert
supervision. The towns and cities
thus employing expert superintend-
ents represent AZ 3S-100 of the per
cent. of the population of the State.
