SAYS IT is FACT.
Bowditch, Webster e. Co. Confirm
Guarantee on Hyomei, Cure for
Catarrh.

The question having been raised as
to whether or no Bowditch, Webster &,
Co. will refund the money if Hyomei
outfit does not do all that is claimed
for 1t in curing catarrh, they want to
state positively that this guarantee Is
an absolute fact.
A guarantee like this is the best
proof that can be offered as to the
curative powers of Hyomei in all
catarrhal troubles. You do not risk a
cent in testing its healing virtues,
Bowdtch, Webster & Co, take all the
risk
If you have catarrh. try this
wonderful medicated air of Hyomei.
1t does not drug or derange the stom-
ach, but is breathed through a neat
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, so that it's medication reaches
the most remote air cells in the nose,
throat and lungs, where any catarrhal
germs may be lurking. 1t quickly
destroys them, heals and sOOtheS the
irritated mucous membrane and vital
ICES the tissues SO that catarrh is no
longer possible. You can lose nothing
by giving Hyomei trial, nothing but
the catarrh and that is good radiance.
The price of the complete outfit is
but $100; nothing if it fails to cure.
Get an outfit from Bowditch, Webster
& Co. today and begin its use at once.
Sold and guaranteed in Waterville
by Geo. w. Dorr and in Gardiner by
G. H. Beane.

No Home Rule Yet.

Some of those who have commented
upon this weeks action in the British
House of Commons in regard to
Home Rule for Ireland seem to have as
sumed that Some kind of Home Rule
bill for Ireland was passed and
that a definite and decisive step was
taken toward the end for which Ire
land and its friends throughout the
world have long been fighting. 1t was
not a bill however, but a resolution,
an academic expression of opinion,
which declared in favor of giving the
Irish people legislative and executive
control of all purely Irish affairs. =
This resolution, to be sure, passed by
a large majority. but that is quite
different thing from the passage of a
hill providing for Home Rule.
For instance, bill would have to
define the purely Irish affairs" which
Ireland itself would manage and the
friends and the opponents of Home
Rule will certainly interpret this
nhrase in far different terms. Then OF
course in Ireland there are naturally
MANY interests which are not purely
local in character and which would
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1908-04-04

apparently require the addition of a
second legislature and second execu-
tive, thus giving the island dual sys-
tenn of government which would be
complicated and cumbersome. This
vote on the resolution which was very
gratifying as far as it went, did not
go very far after all. 1t involves nc
action by the present Parliament. and
even if favorable action on a Home
Rule bill should be taken by the House
of Commons there is still the very
conservative House of Lords to dea
with. Some day justice will be done
the long suffering Emerald Isle and il
will be granted the degree of self gov
eminent which it ought to have had
long ago, but unhappily that time is
not vet at hand.

ducng State in comparison to years

nection: Had 1 a seagong vessel to-

man her in this port under seventy
wears of age. Thirty years ago there
were thirty-eight sail of vessels owned
here; today not a siXty-second part
of one can claim this as a hailing port.
Fifty years ago Castine, just across
tho river, had several fine sailing ships
engaged in the New Orleans and Liver
pool trade, while now shipping at that
port as well as at this is a lost art"
Capt. Tapley was in command of the
bark Ironsides. just off the stocks
when the Civil War broke out. His
vessel was one Of the first chartered
by the government to carry supplies
fol use by the navy at Hilton Head.
S. c.. After arriving his bark was kept
under charter as a storeship lying in
Hilton Head bay fourteen months.
Can't. Tapley, now in his seventy-six
year, is getting all there is to be had
out of life at his quiet home in West
Brookaville surrounded by every COM
fort, and with the knowledge that he
did his part well during his many
years at sea.

Reaching Negro Criminals.

In several of the southern states, and
particularly in Georgia. there seems to
be a new realization both of the re-
sponsbility and the menace involved
criminals. The criminal class in the
South is largely composed of negroes,
and it is no reflection upon the race as
a whole to make this statement when
we remember how short 2 time it has
been since the whole race was in
slavery, how few educational ad-
vantages the most of the negroes have
had, the environments of vice in which
the young negroes are reared, and the
determined efforts of the whites to
keep them down in every social way.
The problem of dealing with this
menace of the negro criminal is of
course something which concerns the
whole country as We'll as the section
The great work of helping the better
element of the co.Ored race along the
educational path is of course most
direct and most attractive way to solve
the negro problem. but the problem in
all its aspects can never be solved by
educational work alone. Georgia now
proposes to help along the solution of
the problem by establishing reforina
tories for juvenile negro criminals
Says the Atlanta Constitution. speak
ing of the negro race and its con-
tribution to southern criminal records:
1--WE permit the children of this i'm
questionable people to run wild in the
streets; we shunt negro juveniles ac-
cused of petty crimes into contact
with callous law-brealers. Our neglect
and our failure to perceive the
Christian, social and financial value
of negro reformatories make US
particeps criminis to the multiplication
of criminals" This movement, 1t
may be added, is largely the result of
agitation by the womens clubs of
Atlanta and from agitation action is
not proving a difficult step.

The oldest Baptist church in the

is located at Charleston, S. c.. and the
interesting information is given out
that it was founded in 1888 by Rev.
William Screven who went to that
place with party of settlers from
Maine. The original church structure,
several times renovated and repaired,
is still standing and in use every
Sunday. From this it seems that
Maine people began to go forth and
build UP the rest of the country almost
as soon as there was any population
in Maine to send forth its representa-
