TAFT NOT TEMPTED

President Eats Breakfast With,
out Drinking, and breaches
Little Sermon.

SAVANNAH. Ga, Nov. "A real
mint julep failed to tempt President
Taft nt Macon today. 1t bad been
brewed with consummatc skill and re-
posed. apparently harmless. in n grccu-
topped glass that had barnaclcs Of
frosting on the outside IT was placed
before The president at breakfast in the
Bartlett house.
This is what tho president did: He
looked at tho inviting mixture. smiled
and then got busy with Il bountIful
southern breakfast. He bad plenty 10
eat, including wafflcs, quail. fried
chicken, sausage. steak, broilcd ham,
brollcd chicken and grlts.
''If this is what you would call
breakfast, ] wonder what dinner would
be like commented the president.
The mint iulep remained IN tue
glasses when the president left the table.
It's ultimate fate Is n bit uncertain, but
sure.

Boomerang Criticism

The question of who the Democratic
party of Maine will select as Its next
candidate for governor Is still agitat-
ing the minds of certain Republican
editors. The Bangor News and Port
land Express are firm In their al
Iegiance to Obadiah Gardner. The
Somerset Indepepdent-Report is OPP
posed TO his candidacy All OF this Is
somewhat amusing considering that
no one of these papers would support
any candidate whom Democracy could
name. There may have been time
when the Republican press of this
State could dictate Democratic NOM
nations. If so, that time has happily
passed. Democrats will elect a can
didate for governor to suit themselves
and when majority of the party have
made the section, at the next State
convention, whether 1t be Mr.. Gard
ner or some other worthy man, the
party will be found harmoniously and
unanimously supporting the candi-
date. There will be no split In DEM
0cratic ranks In this State in 1910. The
prophet who predicts that will find
himself without honor on election day.
Our Republican friends will be in bet
ter, safer and more profitable bust
ness attending to their own affairs
than attempting to stir up discord In
the ranks Of their opponents. Prece-
dent cQmpels them to renominate
Governor Fernaid. Almost any can
didate Democracy could name will
make a good showing against him
with his record as governor confront
ing him. The Hastings bill veto, the
0verruling of Hatch. the failure of en-
fOrcement, the raise in the State tax
and the appropriating of $4,000 by
the Legislature Of 1909, are real live
Issues which the people are going to
discuss, understand and vote upon
Those issues, not personalities, will
be the theme of political talk next
summer and on this Democracy ought
to win.-The Maine Democrat.
Once each week, fifty-two times out
OF the year, the Maine Democrat de-
votes practically all of its space to an
attempt ito stir up discord in the
ranks" of the Republican party; and
not week gets by that its editor does
not indulge in personalities" The
above criticism therefore comes with
very poor grace from the journal in
question.
The Observation-Disclosures Is rep
resenting "the people" nowadays,
and It proposes to keep right on
championing the rights of "the peo-
pie" just 30 long as the printers ink
holds out. If we were engaged In adj
vancing the interest of any one parti-
cular party or If we were flirting with
Miss Democracy for a political favor,

why then. bless you, Brother Pattan-
gall, we should keep putting forth the
same sort Of rot" you are now deal

The Community's Best Friend

We are reminded again to point out
the highly important place which the
press occupies in the life of COM
munities. The case of the promoter,
Reed, Is fine illustration. Scarcely
had our report of his business under
taking in this town been read by the
editors of our contemporaries than we
were in receipt of marked copies of
papers whose articles exposed his
schemes for fleeing the innocent pub
lie. These exchanges had, in turn.
received warnings from other ex-
changes. even so far south as Norfolk
Va. Our reproduction of these arti-
cles will simply carry forward the
good work which others have started
and editors In all parts of New Eng
land will be ready to expose the
schemer should he decide to tarry
longer in our Eastern states.
1t is doubtful If there can be found
greater foe to dishonesty in public
matter, greater foe to official mis-
management, greater terror to those
who love darkness rather than light
than the press.
There are those-few nowadays
who have nothing good to say of the
newspaper, who regard 1t In the light
of an old fashioned sewing-circle in
which community gossip is exchanged.
There are those, too-many nova
days-who, like the promoter men
toned, would be glad to see the news.
paper dispensed with in every COM
munity In order that, because of
slower methods of diffusing knowl-
edge, they might have a longer time
in which to dispose of their stock and
accomplish their wicked designs.
There are those also-in the great
majority nowadays-who have long
since come to regard the press as the
best friend of a community, because
1t defends the community against
selfish personal and official assaults
and promotes whatever is for the COM
munity's interests.
With the continued growth Of the
press and the more thorough cover
ing by reporters Of the field of news,
there will come to be a constantly
decreasing number of those crimes for
whose successful prosecution time
and popular ignorance are the prime
essentials.

OBITUARY..
D. MELVIN PADDACK.

D. MELVIN PADDACk.
D. Melvin Paddock died at his home
in North Fairfield, November II, at
the age of SO years. Nearly his en-
tire life was passed on the ancestral
farm which had been occupied by
four generations of the family for
more than hundred years. A life
long member of the Friends church,
he was much loved and honored in his
native town, and bore the great suf-
fering of his last months with a re-
markable serenity and fortitude. Mr..
Paddock leaves to mourn his loss a
wife, Mrs. Catherine Paddock, little
son, William, two brothers. George F..
of Skowhegan, and Henry, of Provi-
dence, r. L., and sister, Mrs. Eliza
Coyill of Skowhegan.

Reed, Alias Jordan, Leaves

We call attention to an article ap-
pearing elsewhere In these columns
which has to do with certain pro-
moter of stock companies for the
manufacture of cotton goods, who has
been working his schemes upon an
unsuspecting public in various parts
of Maine. This promoter Is evidently
the same individual whose prospective
manufacturing establishment was dis
cussed in last weeks issue of the
Independent-Repor
The quiet-mannered man who came
into our office last week and submit
ted to an interview is evidently not
80 crooked as crazy, therefore not so
much to be condemned as pitied. He
admitted that his name was Reed,
that his old home was in PASSPORT,
that he had just arrived from Norfolk,
Va, where he was in the same bust
ness that he proposed conducting
here. The fact that he wished his
name withheld pending the organiza-

An Article Worth Reading

The article which appeared in last
weeks Golfers on The Whitewash-
ing of Ballinger," written by l.. Il.
CLAWS, the man whom President Taft
removed as Chief of the Field Dlvi-
sion of the General Land Office, Is
deserving of careful reading. If the
! facts as given are true, and they seem
we'll supported, the removal of Mr..
CLAWS is to be greatly regretted, the
retention of Mr.. Ballinger in Office a
nation disgrace, and the whitewash-
ing of the latter by President Taft a
reflection on official integrity. 1t IL
clear that Mr.. CLAWS did everything
within his power to save 100000 acres
Of valuable mineral lands to the
United States while Secretary Balm
ger, of the Interior department, did as
little as he could to assist his sub
ordinate in the important work In
which he was engaged.
The most lamentable feature of 1t
all is that Pres. Taft in deciding
against Clovis and for Ballinger
should have made light of the fact
that the latter was at one time at
torney for those who are now charged
as having tried to steal the lands ON
the government of the United States.
1t is impossible to serve two masters
under almost any condition but par
ticularly so when one Is supposed to
protect that which the other is trying
to steal.
Frankly we do not take to Secretary
Ballinger worth cent. Between the
two, CLAWS and Ballinger, the form
err appeals to us as by fa. the bigger
man. He was educated as an invosti-
gato~ under the Roosevelt administra-
ton and that may account for his dog
gedly patriotic efforts to save the pub
lie lands of the United States. 1t is a
great pity to see a smaller calibred
man triumph, especially under official
sanction.
