Worlds Good Woman

Dark haired, soft voiced, sweet
faced. with millions in gold, and
yet with more sympathy, more
sentiment than millions, benevo-
lence beams from the eye of Hell
en- Miller Gould, charity fits into
her heart like picture into its
frame. Her mother was a Mill
Ter, and Helen takes her sympa-
thy, her softness, her sentiment,
from her.
Miss Gould is stubborn in a self
respecting way. She does her
own thinking, makes up her own
mind, transact her own destinles.
She is rich, and she's aware of
it. She knows every dollar she
owns and what it is doing. She
is strong enough to go her own
way. Society cannot act the ty-
rant with her. Also she has ner
friends and does not play the re-
cluse.
Why has she never married!
You must search her soul for
that. All the other Goulds have
married, and she in the dreary
waste of Goulds, green tree and
the fountain-she remains single
What she wants to do she does.
And she wants to do good. Her
heart is well-head Of sympathy.
She seeks to add to a worlds
happiness that may add to her
own. The monuments stand to
her goodness on every hand.

First Woman to Practice Law
in Switzerland

First Woman to Practice Law
in Switzerland
1t is reported from Switzer-
land that Fraulein Brustlein, the
daughter of a leading Federal
Judge, and the first woman in
the country to practice law, has
won a remarkable case at Zurich.
She was defending a poor rail-
way gate keeper, Nine Wyss.
On arriving a few minutes late
to close the gates at the level
crossing, she discovered that the
express train had killed a little
boy, who had wandered onto the
track. Fraulien Brustlein point
ed out that her client was
so wretchedly paid by the veal
thy Federal Railway Company
$40 month for twelve hours
work day-that she was forced
to seek outside work to support
her four children. On the day
of the accident the express train
was OH time for the first time in
several weeks. The jury ac-
quilted the poor woman.

ley's comet yesterday There were no communities
in tht United States where the people actually gave up
and under the popular belief that the world would be
DESTROYED as was report ed from European points, and
vet great many persons in the United States spoke
of the effect of the contact of the world with the comet
with subdued breaths lest something might happen
to them and what they said be held against them
in the Great Beyond Its nature that all die, and
it so happens that all die together then none OF
us should have any complaint for if the great mass OF
us died and a few left it would be rather lonesome

would be far more preferable.

In De Lace, N. D., lives one E. W. Straley who

were aroused by the approach of
neighbors with twenty-five outfits gang pows, har-

will The result was, the entire 100 acres were
plowed and planted that day. Meanwhile the wives
and daughters cooked and when the noon hour came
and the horn blew there pleasing sight of hun

paused to eat that meal on farmer Straey's lawn.
Mr. Straley was placed in buggy and driven from

It is not hard to surmise how he felt when extend

as he knelt by his bedside to pray To city folk such
a scene would be unique one appreciated, however,
for many of the older have had similar experiences
and talked it over time and again. But the tendency
of the times is to send aid by mail or messenger
Cold charity lifts the burden in financial way and in
many cases is the only advisable way, but there is
other form of charity which helps the gver as much
as it does the receiver It's the kind that makes the
bosom swell while tears UNDECIDED fill the eyes and
is conscious of feeling in his heart which assures him
of that inner growth necessary to true happiness

A Word About Tea, Coffee and Ex
tracts.

The housewife certainly does ap-
preciate to have good things to serve
on her table. She realizes how
much a good cup of coffee means to
him before he starts out on his days
work. She appreciates for her guests
at the afternoon whist or for herself
at social calls to have, and to be
served with, kind of tea that tastes
right Her satisfaction is source
of great pleasure when her cooking
comes out nicely" when the things
good to eat" have that piquancy and
flavor that thoroughly satisfies.
The T. & X goods are backed by
an experience covering many de-
cades. The selection of the materials
used has been life time study; In
the tea for instance, Messrs. Thurs
ton & Kingsbury, Bangor, Me-, (the
proprietors of the famous T. & X.
brands) tell us that 1t Is the selec-
tion from over two thousand teas. 1t
Is little wonder this T. & X. yellow
package tea Is the largest selling
package tea in Northern Maine.
Another feature of these goods
which appeals to Maine housewives lis
that they are sold in air and dust
proof packages, retaining every atom
of goodness and keeping out dust and
germs that are bound to collect In
stores, no matter how particularly and
neatly they may be conducted, when
goods are sold in bulk and exposed
to the air.

fy our village" by Miss Sarah j. An
eerson was worthy Of all praise for
the delightful setting forth of the
beauties of our town and the manner
In which these may be supplemented

GOVERNMENT BY PARTIES

The party which is absolutely in control of the government of the United States is as abso- lutely controlled by interests which look upon the people of the United States as material for spells.
 The spectacle isn't pretty or encOurag ging and it will be small wonder if it leads to serious consideration of the question whether govern ment by parties is quite the best form of govern ment imaginable.
 Government by parties has had full chance to show what it can do and the fruits of that opportunity are Rockefeller, Carnegie Morgan, Taft, Aldrich Cannon, the infamous Aldrich- Payne Taft tariff bill and widespread suffering from high cost of living accompanied by a very restricted enjoyment of rich pickings from ex- cessive profits, with the growing menace of pau perism and crime underneath it all.
 The kind of progress which has come out of government by parties, clearly, is kind which the Rockefellers and the Morgans enjoy very much more than do the Hobbses and Smiths and Joneses.
 The only kind of progress at all encouraging to the common or garden variety of people is that kind which has come when partisanshp has been flung to the winds and public officials, obey ing willy or nIIy the irresistible force of out IdSCu puDllC ociltlillCuI, HdNO SHictl upon the preserves of special privilege and cap tured slight gains for the plain people.
 The longest step ahead yet taken was that in volved in chasing Speaker Cannon out of the house committee on rules and making that com mittee elective by the house membership. That step was taken only when minority of the re- publican congressman joined with the democrat ic minority to do it. Thereby the insurgents" became traitors to their party as the majority of that party construes it; yet it was only by be- ing traitors to their party that they could be faithful to the people. Such an alliance would not have been possible five years ago and that it is possible now is highly encouraging chiefly because it shows a drift away from government by parties.
 The removal of Cannon from the committee on rules was triumph of patriotism over par 
 The packing of the new committee with men amenable to the interests was triumph of par tisanship over patriotism.
 By party rule a new tyranny has arisen, more vie and more dearly than any before in history because it comes masquerading as democracy.
 If the pending problems in this country-all of which are parts of the one big problem of whether privilege or people shall rule the nation --could be grasped fairly and considered solely on their merits, they would be settled in jiffy.

TARIFF IS A TAX

Import duties are no more and no less than a tax. The people are paying this tax in the form of increased prices of foodstuffs, clothing and rents The tax thus paid does not all go to the government but principally to the coffers of the tariff trusts.
 In notable address at Columbia university to the Academy of Political Science, A. B. Far quhar prominent manufacturer, gave the above cear-cut definition of the word "protec- tion.'
 "Whether for good or for i'll, declared this economic student 'the tariff tax is actually a tax, and it is treating the people unfairly to deny disguise, or conceal its actual effect in in creasing the living expenses of the great mass of our ctizens-the consumers of protected goods.
 "It is estimated that in 1903 the cost of living was nearly 12 per cent higher than it would have been without tariff. Hence, calculating that the average family consumed $941 worth of sup plies per annum, its increased payment on ac- count of the tariff was sill. Of this sill, $165O went into the government collections, and $94.50 went to the trusts in higher prices. Of this $94.50, 1925 was on wooens, more than $17 on other clothing, $6.25 on furniture $4.25 on beef and mutton and pork, $10.25 on building materi- als and so on.
 "Since the scale of average prices rose 62 per cent between 1896 and 1910, while the rise in free trade England was but 27 or go per cent, it is significant that our protective tariff must have played an important part in making the difference.
 "The true fight for us is not against the ex- istence of corporations, but against their abuses Let them keep their legitimat profits, but take away the eXorbitant profits we pour into their laps by tariff tax for their benefit; in word, remove or greatly reduce the import duties on trust-made articles.
 eff eggs are unduly dear, or butter because a cold storage trust controls them, bring the

price here and in Canada to level by abolish ing the tariff at the frontier. If the beef trust makes meat costly, admit in competition the product of other countries In this country the number of people is fewer than double that of cattle, while in Argentine there are six cattle for every human inhabitant; but our laws tell us that every advantage of that food wealth must go elsewhere, and our own people be lief at the mercy of the beef trust
 But the most fragrant robbery of our people by the custom house, for the benefit of favored interests, is in the operation of Schedule K wool and woolens, which President Taft declared to be indefensive. It is full of jokers and other lniquities, and has much to do with the high cost of living, to all who wear woolens, or who would wear them if not forced to the use of inferior substitutes
