Aroostook's Object Lesson.

With an object lesson in the benefits
of tariff right at their very doors. the
ArOOStCOk farmers need no further
demonstration of the sOundnesS of this
years Republican appeal. Col. Plais-
ted made his plea largely to the con-
siderable population of French Cana
dams in the county. These worthy cit
liens of Maine, however. cannot over
look the excellent advantages that the
Pine Tree state offers them and can
not be altogether jubilant over argu-
ments that would deprive them in their
adopted state of advantages they came
from Canada to enjoy.
AS the campaign proceeds the inter-
est in AroostOok warns toward making
a conspicuous total at the polls this
year The tramp of the contending
forces will not shake the soil there. as
it may i'm some of the more southern
counties, but the general and the local
candidates on the Republican ticket
will not neglect such a loyal constitu-
ency. There will be numerous rallies
Representative Guernsey Is getting
into the county and hopes to bring
some distinguished speakers there.
The big fight of Eastern Maine, as
far as the September campaign is con-
cerneI, will be right here in Bangor
and in PenobscOt county. The Demo-
Gratis have been cheered by the vic
tories they have won here in recent
years and are well aware that if they
can rot demonstrate the vigOr of their
cause by a rousing campaign in this
vicinity, their followers will lose heart
long before the time for ballotting.

EASTERN MAINE is ALL RIGHT.

Bangor, Me-, Aug. 5.-(SpaciaD.-
Eastern Maine is waking up for pow
erful Republican campaign. The Dem
ocrats have been stirring round lit
tie in Washington, Penobscot and
Aroostook counties. Their activities
have served in some part, at least, to
'set the Republicans going" This has
stimulated the preparations for the
Republican campaign and gives new
assurance that the dominant party in
this section of the State is disposed to
do its full duty at the polls next
month.
The size of the majority for Gov. Fer
maids reelection. of course, depends
materially upon what Eastern Maine
does OF recent years it has been more
orthodox in its support of Republican
principles than some other parts of
Maine. Bangor and Penobscot county,
to be sure, have Wavered a little in
the faith. ArOostook, on the other hand
has stood like rock, and no one UNI
dertakes to predict aught but rous-
ing Republican majority for Governor
Fernald and Representative Guernsey
there this year
Mayor Plaisted of Augusta. the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor, has
made his sally into Aroostook and has
gone again. 1t was sort of pre-cam-
paign appeal, for he does not intend to
go into the county again and did not
think it worth while to include Ar0os-
took in his itinerary after the formal
opening of his canvas. The virgin
county is too near the Canadian Dor
der to take very kindly to Democratic
doctrines. The potato growers of
ArOostook, for instance, would feel the
competition of Canadian products quite
as keenly as any other section of Agri-
cultural Maine. should Democratic
tariff with lower duties on agricultural
products be enacted.

Lengthy and Emphatic Denial by Hamon, Whom

Exposes the Democratic Campaign Trickey
--Attempt to |mp|icate Vice President
Sherman Now Looks Very Foolish.

Asked to explain some of his bust
ness dealings. Hamon said that several
Years ago at LawtOn, Okla, when the
government decided to sell at public
auction some lane belonging to the IN
dians, he, Senator Gore, and others en-
tered into a combination not to bid
against each other SO that the prop
erty might be obtained cheaper.
All of them obtained some of the
iaud, he said.
Chairman Burke-"Don't you know
thai there is federal statute against
"A coordination to prevent competitive
biding?'
Hamon--'I did not know of that law
then, put | have since thought of it.
1t was just Il desire on the part of
all OF us to get the land as cheaply
as possible. 1t was understood among
us that we would not big against each
other"
Congressman Miller-"You know that
the proceedings from that sale We're to
go to tie Indians; do you think that
was honorable toward the Indians?"
Hanon-"We did not look at 1t that
way. In fact we don't do things out
West just in the same way you do in
the East
In some of his business transactions
with Senator Gore, Hamon testified,
money loans We're involved.
Just before Congress adjourned"
said Hamon, the senator came to me
and said he had to pay $4,000 which he
owed to Senator owen. He had $1,000 of
the cash, and he wanted me to raise
the other $4,000 for him from a client of
mine"
Explaining what he was doing iii

Gore said he was offered brides, Ham
on said he was attending, among 9th
er things, to the interests of Gov. G.
n. Haskell of oklahoma, who was un
der a federal Indictment in the Musko-
gee town lot cases. Senator Gore had
introduced a resolution asking that
the Senate committee appointed to in
vestigate the third degree methods
practiced in various parts of the coun

the circumstances leading up to the
indictment of Governor Haskell.

ROUSiNG RALLY AT SABATTUS.

Sabattus. Me, Aug. 5.-(Special).-
The Republican rally held here to-
night was very largely attended and
enthusiastic gathering. DIR. NJ. T.
Newton presided and the speakers
We're Congressman John P. Swasey
and George S. McCarty of Lewiston
candidate for county attorney
Congressman Swasey in the most
convincing manner showed the falsity
OF the charge made by Mr. McGillicud-
dy, the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress. that he (Mr. Swasey) had turn
ed down an old soldier, George, w.
Jordan, and recommended the reap
polntment of a former postmaster. Ed
win WoodSlde, after the latter had
pleaded guilty 10 an indictment for
Keeping liquor nuisance.
Mr.. SWasey said that at the time
the matter came up Mr. Woodside had
two years more to serve. He said he
received a communication from Mr..
Johnson and forwarded the same to
the postmaster general He never re-
NSaNCu any from MT.
WoOdSide and never endorsed it to the
Office. He said he never heard any
more about the matter until Candi-
date McGillicuddy made his speech al
luding to it except that a postoftice
inspector had been sent to investigate
the matter.
Mr.. Swasey read letters from the de-
partment saying that the only COM
munication from him in that depart
ment was the one with which he fol-
lowed JOrdan's petition and the copies
of the indictment and record. Mr..
Swasey further said that in 1908
President Roosevelt issued an order
placing the fourth class postoffices un-
der civil service rule and that these
rules provide that neither political nor
religious matters should De considered
in making appointments and that no
political recommendation would be re-
ceived nor considered. Therefore he
(Mr Swasey) could not have made any
recommendation in the matter, even if
he had wished to.
Mr.. Swasey devoted the remainder
of his speech to national matters. He
was followed by George S. McCarty.
Mr.. McCarty's Speech.
Mr.. McCarty, among other things,
said.
You have listened to the financial
standing Of the county. How do our
Democratic friends attempt to explain
this condition of affairs? Some excuse
must be found. They say in the first
place that the receipts Of the county
have fallen off. True. Then they go
farther and place the blame for this
falling off of revenue upon the su-
preme court of Maine. In other words,
the supreme court is so inmical to the
welfare of Androscoggin county that
1t has made an effort to retard its pro-
gress by a special attitude toward the
revenue producing rumseller. How
puerile and foolish 2E excuse TO pre-
sent to sensible men acquainted with
nresent conditions! To attempt to be-
dra ggle the supreme court -into the re-
snonsiblity for this condition is not
so strange because of its absurdity as
IT is to show the braZen effrontery To
which Democratic demagogues Will go
to seek excuses.
Now what are some of the reasons
why this deficit exists? They tax

Brief in Federal Supreme Court Says
Defendant Never 'Pre-
sented."

Washington, Nov. 22.-John G. Cap
ers, one of the attorneys in the G.
Wash Hunter case, today filed an i'm
portant brief in the United States su-
preme court, in addition to one filed
some time ago. In part this brief is as
follows:
According to the record in this
ease, no true bill was returned
against the plaintiff in error, nor was
he presented by grand jury, as re-
euired by Article I, Section II, of the
Constitution of South Carolina. This
being the case, the trial court was
clearly without jurisdiction and the
subsequent proceedings and sentence
were mere nullities; and the sentence
being nuIlity, it follows, necessarily,
that the plaintiff in error is being de-
prived of his liberty without due pro-
cess of law and contrary to the pro-
visions of the 14th amendment to the
constitution of the United States.
"This is not mere question of prac-
tice or procedure in the courts OF
South Carolina, but it is question Of
whether or not the courts of that
State have jurisdiction to try person
for the crime of murder, unless on a
presentment or Indictment of grand
jury, when such requirement is writ
ten in the constitution Of the State.
eff they had no jurisdiction, and it
would seem impossible to reach any
other conclusion in view of the plain
provision of the State constitution,
then it is obvious that the plaintiff in
error was not tried according to the
established law and procedure of
South Carolina. The question is not,
as is contended by counsel for the de-
fendant in error, whether the plaintiff
in error was tried upon a defective
indictment, but whether he was tried
upon any indictment at all, and, as
shown by the authorities cited in our
brief upon the merits, the failure of
the grand jury to present the plaintiff
in error, or to return a true bill
against him, rendered the supposed
Indictment nullity."
It is contended by counsel for the
defendant in error that this question
was not raised at the trial Of the case,
and that the plaintiff in error is con-
cluded by his failure to take advan-
tage of the point at the trial.

Telephones on the Farm.

During the year now ending the
rural telephone system has been con-
siderably extended in this section, and
this modern convenience has proven
itself of the greatest value to the far
mer and his family. Every one who
has tried it ana who, from experience
has learned its practical value, would
be unwilling to give it up and do with
out it, if there were any way of keep
ing it. And, Of course, nobody need
ever to give it up, since the line, once
having been built, it costs practically
nothing to keep it up.
For these reasons it is certain that
these rural telephone systems will be
extended. Farmers, learning from
their neighbors the evalue of telephone
in the house, will desire the same ad-
vantage for themselves, and will has
ten to provide themselves with it.
This is a ia reasier matter than most
people may think, and also far less
costly. Most farms can supply tele-
phone poles. They do not require to
be large poles as are necessary in
the city or for the carrying of many
wires along the public roads, but any
poles of reasonable height and
strength and durability will answer.
These can be planted at proper inter-
walls by ordinary farm laborers at odd
times, and so the providing OF the
poles would be matter Of practically
no cost. Wire also is cheap, and it
may be strung as the poles were
placed, and here, at small cost, is the
line. It may be run from one farm
house to another, and with an instru-
ment placed in each house way of in
slant and constant communication be-
tween these two houses will have been
provided at very small initial cost,
and at no cost whatever to maintain,
except to see that the poles are kept
up.
A better way, of course, is for the
farmers of a neighborhood to combine,
run their wires to some central place
and there connect with the Bell Tele-
phone system. This would bring each
farmer on the line not only in touch
with one neighbor, but iWtahll-
with one neighbor, but with all his
neighbors, and with everybody else in
the country who has telephone in
his house, Office or store. This SER
vice, of course, costs something, but
it is offered by the Bell Telephone
company at very low rates, so that
this cost is not of a nature to make
farmers hesitate to assume it.
The telephone robs life On the farm
of the worst part of that feeling OF
isolation which constitutes really the
greatest drawback to life on the farm,
and hence as fast as possible all far
mers should try to install telephone
in their homes.
