The Passing of the HobbIe Skirt-An
Odd Idea In Millinery.

Reams have been written about the
hobble skirt and it's extreme ugliness,
it's senselessness and unbecomingness
to the female form divine. 1t is COM
forting to know that in Paris this
skirt is no more seen. The new gowns
emanating from the French couturiers
are certainly tight, but not so much as
they were in the spring. On the con-
trary, the folds fall naturally and
gracefully from the waist, which Is
rather short
A mighty good skirt model is gored

back which when well pressed gives a
fat effect

Why For Powers.

The Waterville Sentinel has called
attention to the fact that my an
nouncement as a candidate for the
Legislature. accompanied by pledge
of support to Judge Frederick A. Pow
ers for the United States Senate, was
the first of it's kind to be thus public
ly issued. The Sentinel Is kind
enough to approve. In part, but insists
that | should give my reasons for sup
porting Mr.. Powers and this | am en-
tirely willing to do.
In general | am for Powers because
see in his candidacy the hope of
inspiring in the State of Maine some
thing of the political independence
which is now dominant in Oregon,
Oklahoma, Minnesota Iowa, Kansas,
Wisconsin and other states of
the middle and far west. Be
cause | think | see a new era in poll
tics. attributable In great measure
to the administration of President
Roosevelt, and because | believe that
Maine by keeping Hale in the senate,
opposes rather than encourages the
Roosevelt policies and reform. Be
cause associate Hale with those who
seek to protect monopoly and oppose
the upllIJ vi The Bitdl hihoo VI
the American people. those for whom
government should have its chiefest
concern and whose condition Is the
true index of the progress of civili-
cation.
| am for Powers because he voted
for and supported the Australian
Ballot law, because he believes in the
Income Tax and the Parcels Post be-
cause he would extend the principle
of protection to labor and business
but not to monopoly, because his rec
ord as a legislator. attorney general
and Associate Justice has been clean
and efficient.
Mr. Powers is neither radical nor
reactionary. His public career
stamps him as progressive and indie
pendent. | shall look for him to in
sist that the Republican party move
forward without waiting to be driven,
and that the promises OF its platforms
and it's leaders become law. He
closely approaches my ideal of what
senator should be and | hope as a
citizen of Maine, in the Legislature or
out of it, to do what | can to ensure
his election.

Touching the Senatorial
Question

These are the days of increasing
political interest Candidates for the
Legislature are petitioning through
the press for popular support at the
caucuses and conventions, while the
people are trying, as best they are
able, to size up the fitness of their
prospective representatives.
The Legislature which is to meet In
1911 has one unusually important
piece of work to do. 1t is to elect for
a period of six years a Maine man
who In the Senate of the United States
ia to care for the interests of the peo-
Me of this State. The candidates thus
far announced are Judge Frederick
A. Powers, one of the brightest and
brainiest of our Maine men, and the
\ present encumbent of the office, Eu-
Anne Hale. Both men are candidates
on tAe Republican ticket and between
these two the next Maine House must
decide.
Who determines this choice? Why,
the people of Maine; those who cast
their votes foS men to represent their
views on important matters which
may come before the Legislature as
sembled. The farmers, the mechanics,
the merchants at the cross roads, the
laborers in mills and factories-these
determine, or should determine, the
choice of United States Senator Up
to the present time Senator Hale and
his faithful henchmen have determin-
ed that matter for themselves. AS
consequence Senator Hale has been
forced down the threats of the people
of Maine so many times that the diet
Is getting too stale to be longer
wholesome. The Constitution of Maine
declares that "All power is inherent
In the people" Senator Hale for the
last twenty-five years has been para
phrasing that into "All power is in
herent in Eugene Hale" But since
the people, the common people such
as you and the great majority of us
who haven't been on to Washington
hob-nobbing with the bean-pole cele-
brities, exercise great voice in de-
termining their choice for important
public offices, then 1t behooves every
voter In the State of Maine to inform
himself respecting the attitude which
a prospective representative takes on
such a subjct as a senatorial choice.
1t Is a duty which such a news
paper as The independents Reporter
owes to the people of Somerset coun-
ty to forewarn the people against any
secret undertaking which robs them
of their constitutional rights. The
independence Reporter has already
stated that 1t is not a believer in the
efficacy of the canned goods" variety
of editorial matter sent out from the
Hale headquarters in Washington,
and gobbled up by certain Maine
newspapers; it now states that 1t is
not In sympathy with the deaf-and-
dumb scheme which the Hale forces
are working by keeping the opinion of
the Hale candidates on the senatorial
question wholly in the dark. This

Shows Great Solicitude

The woods in Somerset county seem
to be full of Republicans who desire
either a nomination as senator or as
representative and, so far, the pro-
claimed aspirants have declared their
intention to support Frederick Pow

coed Eugene Hale. The first aspirant
to declare his belief in the Powers
cause is Roland T. Patten of Skowhe-

representative, and a gentleman of

GREAT STRENGTH OF SNAlLS

Some statistical person has said
that were a human being to be, rela-
lively, possessed of the strength of
snail he would be able to carry st.
Paul's Cathedral, fguratively speaking,
III his waistcoat pocket. This is as it
may be, but certainly snails do not
merit the contempt and derision that
is poured upon them. Their strength
is. incredible.
By way of experiment, two common
garden snails were harnessed to a
leaden toy gun-carriage by means of a
piece Of thin tape. The load was
moved SO easily that the gun-carriage
was filed with shot. 1t, however,
gave no trouble to the strange steeds
and even when heavy brass cannon
was hooked on, they moved with ease
The total weight of gun-carriage, can
non, and shot was fifteen ounces.
Readers might try similar expert
ment for themselves, though they
must be patient, for snails have an
unpleasant habit of withdrawing into
their shells when work is required of
them. Care should also be taken that
the traces attached to the snails do
not impede their progress.
