tians and patriots we need often to be re-
minded Of the value of our Sunday privi-

Sunday duties.
These crowded. bustling days In which
we live would soon trample out of our
lives all that makes us kin to God IL we
had not the silent hours of our Sundays
wherein the soul may think and pray and
grow. Sunday Is meant to change our
routine. to break into 1t and give us a
new angle OF vision upon our lives. The
danger Of our generation is that the rou-
tine will be unbroken: that our sacred
day. as some one has phrased 1t. will come
to stand for perspiration instead OF in
spiration.
"The men Of our city and our land need
to be warned against the violation OF

''The women, too. have a responsibility

Moreover, the young people in our
schools and colleges must be warned
against their unintended. but none the
less fatal, violation OF the sacred day.
There are schoolboys and schoolgirls who
insist that they must study Sunday. Let
me say to you. out OF an experience with

seminary. that no student needs to study
Sunday II he uses the rest OF his time as

Intense interest in the meeting had

known that the two candidates were
to meet in public, and every seat in
three banquet halls. thrown together
for the occasion, was occupied when
the first course was served. save only
a commodious chair reserved for Mr..

Skowhegan is of practically no value
to the people of Madison. The second
train from Skowhegan is little more
OF an accommodation to Madison, but
later afternoon train or service out
of Skowhegan is what is wanted most
by residents of both Skowhegan and
Madison. This. it is believed, would be
overcome by an electric road from

ton can be made with the line of the
Somerset Traction Co. which has been
in operation for dozen years.
Upon their return from Skowhegan
this afternoon the capitalists appeared
satisfied that the road is an easy prop
osition, that it would pay from the
start and that it is the most feasible
proposition in the State today outside

syndicate, as you call it down this way.

the most reasonable and at the same
time, l believe the most economical
way will be to build along the river to
a point on West Front in SkOWhegan
nearly opposite the shoe factory,
tn ence down the ravine to the shoulder
of land beyond a fringe of houses on
what is called Mount Pleasant avenue
and there crossing the river to Water
street We were told while in the viii
lage that at one time the town pro-
posed building a bridge over the river
at the foot of short street near a
park the name of which has passed
from my mind. We car see where the
town and a railroad can join drives
and erect such bridge as will be ne
cessary, allowing the railroad to enter
Water street near the lower end OF
that street and thence proceed to a
junction with the Somerset Traction
CO.
"Shall we say work will begin in the
spring." inquired the Journal.
"No, don't say that. Say rather that
is a possibility that a railroad will be
constructed in the spring and summer,
if not by the gentlemen who have been
here today. perhaps by their sugges

Mr. Hayes said the financial depres-
sion during the past year has been re-

terrible ordeal through which he had
passed told so much on him that his
reason has left him. Several days at
