The case in litigation Walton e.
Walton. attorneys at law. versus
Pauline P. Hill, Ralph B. Hill and
Lena Taylor which was brought be-
ore the two auditors, Hon. William H.
Newell of Lewiston and Hon. Addison
r Herrick of Bethel. Tuesday, was be-
ing heard throughout the day and
Wednesday. The case attracted a
great deal of attention because of its
novelty and the prominence of both
plaintiffs and defendants. The plaintiffs
were represented by Hon. Augustus
Simmons of North Arson and the de-
PENDANTS by Gould & Lawrence.
The suit was brought in September
by Walton & Walton for attorney
fes amounting to $12.65S.49 for services
they had performed since 1904 for the
Hill heirs in bringing about decision
in their favor in which it appears they
got title to 1920 acres of land and
900 instead of a tax title.
The case in which Walton & Walton
rendered the services was Coburn
Heirs versus Hill Heirs which was in
the courts for nearly seven years.
The case was settled only few
months ago, the plaintiffs winning a
verdict of $4,000 and one undivided
half of tract Of 4400 acres of land

Ranks With Columbus.

In speaking Of the discovery of
the North Pole by DR.. Frederick
Cook, The News and Courier says.
"At the moment when all the world
is applauding the conquest of the
air, the modest gentleman returns
from the frozen North with the tro-
phies of a great victory, perhaps the
greatest victory that any explorer
has achiexed since Columbus braved
the dangers Of the Western seas
and discovered the land whose peo-
pie have now in their turn added
to the vision of the earth dWellers.
Few people in America knew that
DR.. Cook was making any effort to
find the Pole. Like Columbus. he
held to a new theory, that he could
gain the goal in the winter time,
and unwilling to face the ridicule
which would dobtless have been
heaped upon him by other scientists
had he made known his plans, he
went quietly about his business.
Success is his and nobly has he won

Lieut. Peary Knew Them.

In the light of the reports of DR..
Cooks discovery of the North Pole.
the closing words of Lieut.. Peary's
account of his expedition given in
Nearest the Pole" are interesting.
Writing about the Eskimos, he says:
II have often been asked: OF
what use are Eskimos to the world?
They are too far removed to be of
value in commercial enterprises and
furthermore, they lack ambition.
They have no literature, nor, prop
erly speaking, any art. They value
life only as does fox, or bear,
purely by instinct. But, let us not
forget that these people, trustwor-
they and hardy, will yet prove their
value to mankind. With their help,
the world shall discover the Pole. "
A prediction which seems to have
been verified even earlier than the
author of it eXpected-or perhaps
hoped, says The News and Courier.

Benefit to the Masses.

Monday is Labor Day. This day
is yearly reminder of the progress
the working classes have made in
recent years and of the strength Of
organized labor. AS one views the
marching ranks of labor he naturally
contrasts the present social condition
of the laborer with what it was
years ago when each individual stood
alone in his endeavor to better his
lot. The experience of those days
led to the union Of forces and to
that union must be credited most
of the better wages, shorter hours Of
labor and other advantages now en-
joyed by the working classees.
Unionism has not always been wise
ly conducted but in spite Of many
mistakes it has proved benefit to
the masses.

Glass Notes From st. Johns Chapel.
The Baraca class of st. Johns
Chapel met regularly during the
month of August. Although the at
tendance has not been large, good
has been accomplished. The Phila-
thea's and Juniors are also organiz-
ed. These classes are in their in
fancy, but we hope to see them grow
strong and vigorous, developing into
full and perfect manhood and Wo-
manhood. Already we see signs Of
growth in increased attendance
in the Bible classes of the Sunday
School. A good number are in their
places each Sunday afternoon. At
joint meeting Of Baraca's and Phil
athea's it was resolved that the
membership committee of each class,
work for the other Caracas for
Philathea's and Philathea's for Ba-
raca's) in securing new members.
1t was also decided to have an Ice
cream festival to increase the funds
of the classes. This festival was
held on last Saturday evening, Au-
gust 2S, at the home of Mr.. A. e.
Davis, and was quite successful.
The young folks had good time and
nice little sum was added to the
treasury.
The classes have bought their
literature and class pins and have
met all heir expenses up to date.
The Juniors had a meeting on
Wednesday evening, Sept. 1, con-
Quoted by Mrs. Wright. They will
meet again before Sunday school
(3:3O o'clock). on next Sunday af-
ternoon. Let all the boys and girls
come to this meeting.
We are praying and trusting that
this work may become a power for
good 10 all with whom it comes in
contact.

Not to the swift is the race,

Little surprise was felt at the fail
ure of Walter Wellman's second at
tempt to reach the pole by the air
route. Great as has been the ad-
vance in aeronautics in recent years,
that advance has not been sufficient
to Justify the hope that under pres
ent conditions such a venture would
be successful. Doubtless in time
when further improvements shall
have been made the obstacles of cli-
mate and air currents will be over
come, and some future Wellman or
Andree in monoplane or some
other aerial contriyance will reach
the pole and gain eternal fame.

Suggestions to Merchants.

The remedy for the mail order
business rests with home merchants.
If instead of sitting down in despair
or gloomlly telling people how their
trade is cut by the mail order hous-
es, they would but initiate some OF
the features of those houses, and
then go one better, they would have
no cause to complain of poor trade
1t is by profuse and timely adver-
Using, aud by getting that adver-
tising into the homes, the mail order
business thrives. Too often the
home merchant contents himself
with small unattractive ad that
does not appeal to people. When
that is TIL, ca,e ne alone is to blame
if tho mail o,der house gets the
best of him.
Let the home merchant catch the
eye by generous and timely ad"e :
Using in which the quality and VII
riety of his goods are set forth. Let
him also pOlUl OuL NJ" III tAe Aoi4'~
store the customer sees the goods
before he buys them, that he does
not have to pay in advance, that II
his credit is good credit is given,
and that there are no veXatious de-
lays in delivering the goods Gall OF
which are advantages the customer
of mail order house never has)
and business will flourish.
1t may be said that people know
this already. Probably they do, but
it is necessary to get them to rea-
lie it, and that is done by constant
ly keeping at it. The mail order
houses tell the public the same thing
over and over again until the pub
lie is made to acknowledge their
statements as the truth. This is
exactly what the home merchant
should do. He should perslstently
tell the public what he has and
show that it is to the interests OF
people to buy from him. Then he
will get the business.

"TariRs and Votes"

Under the above caption, The
News and Courier gives those DEM
ocrats who deserted their party and
voted with the Republicans to un-
duly tax the people when the tarifr
bill was up In Congress a deserved
roast. The News and Courier very
truly says "time was when princi-
pie meant more to the people of the
South than anything else. For 1t
they threw away the material COM
forts which they had gathered from
a new land. and for it they poured
their blood unstintedly. The Dem
ocratic party has never stood for
anything If it has not stood for the
principle that protection IS robbery,
no more, no less. An effort to share
In the proceeds of that robbery can
by no sophistical reasoning be made
praiseworthy unless at the same time
1t be acknowledged that Protection
is a good thing in itself"
In answering the New Orleans
Picayune, which paper fully endorses
its Senators and representatives IN
voting with the Republicans for
protective tariff, and says Louisa
mas Senators and Representatives
must stand for Louisiana and its
people above all others" The News
and Courier says "our New Orleans
contemporary is simply endorsing
the theory which says that robbery is
wrong, but since men will rob it is
wise to get in with the most famous
and successful robbers. That is
what old Molassaes' did and it Is
what the Picayune advocates. 1t
speaks of Daniel. who has been al
ways held as a model of ancient
Democracy Perhaps so. The term
is good one. Ancient Democracy!
Foster and McEnery and Soule and
Benjamin! A mess Of pottage in
modern day!
"It is true. as the Picayune says,
that these Democratic Senators will
make but sorry showing on the
rostrum when they begin to thunder
their empty words against the rob-
berry traiff. A smile will no doubt
play on the features of the men
themselves as they speak, and the
laughter of the audience, If there is
any, will be ominous. old Molas-
ses,' the staunch friend of protec-
ton. talking about free anything,
unless it be free spoils, is decidedly
humorous. And old Pineapples, he
who was willing to trade his inher-
itance for a mere pittance and never
get even that, how serious will he
appear High protectionists mas
ouerading under the banners of the
Democracy are too grotesque for
words.
"The Congressional elections will
be fought by the Democrats on the
platform that the present tariff is
monstrous. To fight on such plea
means to the Picayune that many of
the present Senators will be read
out of the party. Not at all. They
have voted themselves out Of it.
They have made it difficult for the
Democracy to seriously ask mems
votes on a plea that the present act
is wrong. But even so, If the peo-
Pile can be convinced Of the sinceri-
ty of those who will offer as candi-
dates on the pledge that they will
oppose protection in all its forms,
if We do not judge incorrectly, the
present system of graft under the
name of law will be delivered 80
hard a body blow that it will never
recover, and perhaps the recreant
Democratic Senators will mingle
with its ashes" So ought the re-
creant Democratic Representatives.
