1T is BEST TO SHOP EARLY.

1t is best from every standpoint to
shop early, when it comes to your
Christmas buying.
In the first place you will find the
stocks full, and not picked over. You
have first choice in everything.
Then you will find the stores are
not crowded and people will have
time to wait on you. The clerks will
not be tired out, and will take pains
to show you, and see that you get
what you want.
You will be over the worry of plan
ming what to get The things already
bought will get the whole matter off
your mind, and you can lend yourself
to the enjoyment of the holiday occa-
sion.
Then again: Do your shopping in
the forenoon. In the forenoon you
will find the stocks nicely arranged,
whereas later in the day they will be
more or less torn up, because the rush
will not permit their being kept
straight. You will also find the sales
people rested, and eager to serve you.
Later in the day you are apt to find
them tired out from the days rush
By all means shop early; you will
find it best, and you will be better
satisfied.

PERMANENT PENlTENTIARY RE.
FORM.

Of course no one is so foolish Ias
to think for a moment that the peni-
Tertiary should be made playground
or serving a term there a picnic oc-
casion, nor should any one be so for
! getful of human feelings as to think
that those convicted and sentenced to
term in the penitentiary were there
! by barred from all hope for the fu-
/ ture by excessive labor and i'll treat
ment-Iabor that Slapped every ounce
of vitality, and treatment that left no.
semblance of manhood. Also the
thinking public, and the convicts
themselves, understand the necessity
for rigid discipline since many bad
characters get into the penitentiary,
but those charged with the care of
these northumberland they are I'M
fortunates-should leave nothing I'M
done to inform themselves of prison
methods in other states and countries
to the end that discipline might be
maintained with the least harshness
and with the purpose always upper I
most to return these people to society
at the end of their terms at least as
good citizens, and, if possible. better.
than when they were sentenced. We
repeat, and will continue to repeat it,
for we are firmly convinced of its /
truth, that our system is radically
wrong and that the abuses found by (.
the Investigating committee cannot be
remedied until there is a
change in the system that has made Il
them possible. Some of the abuses
may be temporarily stopped, but there
will be no assurance that they will /
not be renewed again. They have been
going on these many years-it is time
now to put stop to them for all
line to come.-Editor C. E. Gilmore,
Chairman Penitentiary Investigating
Committee.

have to say here that it has never car.
rfed chips to help the other fellow
build his fire unless on its own ac-
count it wanted the fire to burn. Our
motto is a square deal, and we always
contend for it. The newspaper that
attaches itself as the tail of the other

get tangled in the surrounding shrub

most usually the. tail is left hanging

Colonel Hamilton is eminently cor

COLONEL BowEN's EDITORIAL

Colonel w. A. Bowen's editorial is
going the rounds. Colonel Hamilton
of the Palestine Daily Herald is in
hearty accord with the genial colonel
of the Arlington Journal. Hear this, .
says the Palestine colonel: "Some
people have always been under the
impression that newspaper is suited
to nothing so much as making the tail
to some politicians kite; even some
newspaper men have seemingly enter
tanned this idea, and have tried to be
a good taller for said kites But
Texas boasts one newspaper man who
defies the old beliefs and speaks his
mind without reserve. He is Colonel
w. A. Bowen, editor of the Arlington
Journal, man whose head is frosted
with the white of years, but whose
mind is vigorous and heart young. :"
And then the Palestine colonel repro
duces the Arlington colonel's argu
ment in defense of the Fourth Estate
with the following comment:
And selah again. Far be it from
the Herald to boast, but it sometime
is almost tempted to be puffed up
bit when it remembers that it talk
to more people in this good old town
every day than all of the preachers
lawyers and doctors combined. Can
you beat it? And the Herald does not

The Herald has received a letter
from Mr. H. Bascom Thomas, candi-
date for lieutenant governor of Texas,
soliciting the papers support of his
candidacy. Thomas is a sincere man,
no doubt, and he may be elected to
the office he aspires to fill, but in
the opinion of the Herald he should
not be, for. he is not big enough man
to fill the place.

good music. The attention of all in
fsAis vicinity who hesitate attending
this festival because of the expense is
called to the fact that besides reduced
railroad rates, special train will be
run from Bangor after the Saturday
night concert over the Mt. Desert
branch and the Washington County
railroad through to Machias and

famous singers and wonderful music
at so reasonable cost has ever been
