THE BLOOD THIRST.

The farmer his suspenders breaks. a-slaughterlng he harmless snakes, which never have, by any chance hurt him, his cousins, or his auntS. The farmers precious little sons are toddling through the woods with guns and when they see q bird at rest, they blow the poor thing galley west The city dweller's dearest wish is just to kill lot of fish, and then re- turn to stool and desk, and reel off stories picturesque. And now the health officials rise, and urge us all to swat the flies; and when we've slain these pesky critters, we'll all turn in and kill moskitters; when we've annihiated these, we'll start a holy war on fleas, and, in long des- cendlng scale, we'll kill and kill, till victims fail. Fair Science would the hemlock Quaff, because she lacks a stuffed giraffe; she also needs a hip pos frame, wart hog and some othe game; and ne'er again will Science smile if she cant have a crocodile, q two-horned rhino and . boar, and ring.tailed monkeys by the score. Oh. rather than see Science weep, we'll plunge into the jungles deep, and all the woods with wailing fill and kill and kill-and kill-and kul.-Walt Mason.

BREACHES POLITICAL INoEPEND
 ENcE FOR THE WEST

It Is time the West threw off the shackleS of the East. l would preach no sectional divisions and no sectional sIrifes, but Minnesota and Washington, and the states between them, with those to the south of us, should arise in their might and claim for themselves that fair share of influ eRce in the halls of congress and in the administration of national affairs to which they are entitled by every law of common sense, as well as po- Itical economy" This was the de claration of Gov. John A. Johnson in his address at the Minnesota day eel ebration.
 We, as an integral part of the American people" said Gov. Johnson, should cast our influence and our votes not only to advance the material interests Of our particular section, bu We should be broad enough and big enough to labor for the common good Of our common country. We have in the Stetes west Of the Mississippi rive the undoubted balance of power, no matter under what name the national administration at Washington exists. In the years that have passed our pop ulation and our material wealth have not enjoyed that representation to which they are entitled, and, further more, our leaders have been content to follow in no small measure the leadership of men who represent rel atively small constituencies and small Ter commonwealths." ."-Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota.

"REvIsIoN DOWNWARD"

Many newspapers are trying to make it appear that the Payne-Ald' rich.Smoot bill is a revision down. ward. This is absolutely untrue. The average of rates of the Payne-Ald- rich.

When the maximum goes into effect, March S1, 1910, the average rate will be about 27 per cent higher than the av- craze of the Dingley bin."-Champ Clark, Leader of Democratic Party in The House.

Dewitt at Lewiston.
Main House Damagedby Smoke,
Steam and Water.
Guests All Have Time to leaye..-
No Serious Accidents.

Lewiston, Me-, Dec. 1.-The kitchen
wing of the New Dewitt hotel was
Quilted by fire today, causing damage
estimated at $4,000, and the main part
Of the hotel, which is a four story brick
structure, was seriously threatened.
Before the fire was brought under
control, which was at P. NJ. the hotel
proper suffered considerable damage
by smoke, steam and water.
The guests, numbering about 100,
had no difficulty in leaving the build
ing, although it quickly filed with
smoke, and taking their effects with
them.
The fire started in the boiler room
and as it worked up to the roof quickly
it was hard to contend with.
The hotel is owned by the Franklin
Co. and is leased to George r. Pattee.
The whole property was valued at
more than 100000. The loss was COW
cred by insurance. There were no ac-
cidents of consequence.

New York. Dec. 1.-The fruitful OPP
portunity for fraud in the haste and

daily on the Williamsburg docks of

what the government sought to bring
out today in it's prosecution of the
former six employees of the company
now on trial, charged with defrauding
the government by underweigEts.
David Fragner, a customs inspector,
and once assistant government weigh
err, testified that at busy time two
trucks a minute passed over single
set Of scales, or eight to the minute
on the four sets in use there for every
hour of the day. Each truck weighed
half a ton, the. government Will
contend, was weighed Is pounds short,
by the secret manipulation of govern
ment employees. who as is charged were
paid cash by the Sugar Company Tor
the evasion of customs duties. If the
scheme worked smoothly, the govern
ment stood to lose it's dues on 5ooo
pounds of sugar every hour.
AS this steady flood of trucking roll
ed across the scales, the checker VINO
stood next the weigher was too busy,

team the Scale brothers are expected
to be heard from, as is also eX-Captain

team in the past. There are many Sec

who are expected to make strong bids
for positions this season. AS yet MOTH
ing definite can be said in regard to
who will compose the team but by the
time that the Christmas vacation be-
gins Capt. Marshall expects to have a
pretty good idea in regard to how the
different positions will be filled.

Reef, FIorida...All Safe.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Dec. 1.-The
two signal masts of the Pollock RiI
lightship were swept overheard at
p. M. yesterday by the jibboom of the
four-masted schooner katherine D.
Perry, which arrived here today on the
way from Boston to Newport News
practically unlnjured.
Capt. Sprague Of the Perry stated
that while threading Pollock Rip slue
i'll a heavy northeast gale he suddenly
found his vessel close to the Pollock
Rip lightship, which was more thar
1000 feet to the westward of her regu-
lar station. The jibboom of the schoon.
er swept the deck of the iightship from
stem to stern and carried away botl
masts and the lantern.
The Perry was obliged to keep on
without ascertaining whether any fur
ther damage mad been done to the
lightship. It was learned here today,
however, that the vessel had made no
signal Of distress and a new signal
would be placed on the station as soon
as the weather moderated.
A heavy gale has been blowing in the
vicinity of Cape Cod and Nantucket
shoals for three days and at sunset
tonight seemed to be increasing.

University of Maine Dramatic Club
has decided to give one-act and a
three-act play this season in place of
the usual single play. The one-act play
chosen is 1.-The Littlest Girl" by

Commencement. The question of hold
ing Senior banquet was also discuss
ed. Both questions were laid on the
table unit! the next meeting.
Leader Springer of the Glee Club
called his first rehearsal Wednesday
evening. The result was most encour-
aging, for not only were nearly all OF

10000 IDLE MEN
Will Soon Be Hoping for Settlement
Of the Strike.

Duluth. Mimi, Dec. 1.-Only two
switch engines are working today at
the head of the lakes and the tie-up of
traffic resulting from the strike of the
switchmen is practically complete.
If the situation is not quickly rem
edied. 10000 men will be out of work
mere within IS hours. The railroads
mires, docks, elevators, blast furnaces
and all other industries will contribute
to the unemployed. The Northern Pa.
cific has two engines in operation,
manned by men not members of the
union.
Probably no branch of business is
affected so greatly at the head of the
lakes by the switchmen's strike as the
grain trade. Every man engaged in the
handling of grain stands to lose money
through being forced to break delivery
contracts. A delay of even few hours
is serious, for the insurance on all
boats and cargoes on the lakes expires
