We feel ashamed to write this ar
ticle, and as our pen touches the
paper we can feel the hot flush of our
blood as it circulates around the
corners of our conscience. We read
in a Democratic paper that Mr..
John Doe and Mr.. Richard Doe HAD
BEEN SLATED as delegates to vote
for Berry for Governor" To think
that the Democratic party, who have
been politically sanctified and puri-
fed by fasting so many years from
office-holding and whose cardinal
principal of faith is opposition to
Ring Rule and Boss Ridden politics,
should at this important epoch in
the history of their party, stoop so
low as to SLATE DELEGATES. This
shows that the Democratic family
alter is being neglected and that the
purified are longing for the flesh
pots of office holding, and it behooves
Moses Berry to revive the waning
ethics of his party by calling atten-
tion to St Lucifer's first epistle to
the Guffyites.

Stomach Misery for
Over Six Years

Read what Mr. Hoffman, landlord
of the Webster Hotel, writes:
81 suffered misery and intense
pains from stomach trouble for over
six years, and all the doctoring that
l did or medicines | used were of no
avail until about two years ago, when
l used a treatment of Mi-o-na. The
first few days treatment helped me
greatly, and upon using it a while
l was made entirely free from any
stomach trouble or complaint what
ever. Since the cure by Mi-o-na |
have regained my weight, | eat and
sleep well, am never nervous, and
my entire general health is much
better. Max NJ. Hoffman, Webster,
N. Y, Aug. 2, 1909.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve
distress in five minutes. They act
like magic. They are guaranteed to
cure sour stomach, gas eructations,
heartburn, dizziness, biliousness and
nervousness, or money back. For
sale by druggists everywhere and by

WHAT A DOCTOR SAID.
Gave His Reasons For Not Patroniz-
ing Sears g. Roebuck.

A physician of neighboring
county wrote a Chicago mail order
house the following letter in re-
sponse to a personal letter from
them in which they stated: "If there
is any reason why you do not buy
of us, please give us your reasons
in the enclosed stamped envelope
and we will strive to remove the
cause" The physician wrote as fol-
lows:
Your letter of recent date, ask
ing why / had not traded with you
for a long time, is received and as
you ask me to tell you frankly why,
| will give you few reasons. First,
| am in business in this community
and am looking to this community
with its varied industries for my
support. cannot ask the merchants
of this town for their support if
do not give them mine. Second, in
looking over my books | fail to find
any of your company's members
names. which reminds me that none
of the gentlemen have ever given me
a penny's patronage. Why is this?
Am | too far away, or have neither
of them needed physician, or are
they afraid of the mail-order plan
when it comes to the practice of
medicine? can certainly give as
good satisfaction by mail as your
house can, and will appreciate a
call from either of them when in
need of medical service. Third, in
looking over the subscription lists
for improving our streets and pub
lie highways | have failed to find the
name of any member of your firm
down for one penny to assist in the
work. Also, l have been unable to
find your name on any of the charity
lists where help has been rendered
! to our poor. In other words, you
are not down as a contributor to
| our Helping Hand society. In fact
in all the movements for the better
ments of our condition, where our
community has needed the united eff
forts of her public-spirited citizens
have failed to find your name
among the list of our contributing
merchants. Your name is not on
| our city tax books, nor do | find
where you have paid a city license tc
| do a mercantile business in competi
ton with our home merchants
! These are a few answers to youl
questions, and l trust you will see
| the justice of them"

by means of internal revenue, and
there would seem to be no objection
to using the census information as
a general guide to the condition of
the country from time to time. For
instance, in a general way we can
compare the prosperity of free trade
trade times with the present times
IL we get accurate census informa-
ton and that is the only true way
to prove the usefulness or inefh-
cheney of any governmental policy.
Our political policies must stand act
ual test and the census department
will furnish the crucible.
The methods of enumeration in
the United States have been but lit
tie changed from the first and they
are to-day antiquated and inefficient
to a high degree. Every enumera-
tor who has had to write the word
Pennsylvania" in full three times
for each inhabitant enumerated will
substantiate this. The census
schedule we believe could be made
easier and simpler. II appears that
it could be made to show the same
amount of information that it does
now with at least one-third less la
Dor on the part of the enumerator
This means that over one-third OF
the cost is unnecessary and that we
! are longer in getting returns than We
should be and that the information
so much more liable to be inaccur.

The first census was taken by the
Marshalls of the Y. S. District
Courts who had power to count the
people merely. The first enlarge,

were required to take information
about the manufacturing establish
ments of the land In 1850 it was
extended to cover such subjects as
mortality, agriculture, industries
schools, newspapers, etc. The
schedules have been largely increas
ed because of the inability of the
government to obtain under cover
of the Constitutional provision foi
a decennial census.

One of our good farmers was tell
ing on the streets yesterday con-
versation he CHANGED to hear be-
tween a young boy in his teens and
a Christian Scientist. 1t appears the
Scientist came across a small boy
sitting under an apple tree doubled
up with pain. My little man." he
said, what is the matter?" 81 ate
some green apples" moaned the
boy, land, oh, how l ache!" You
don't ache" answered the follower
of Mrs. Eddy; you only think you
do" The boy looked up in aston
ishment at such a statement, and
then replied in a most positive man
ner: That's all right; you may think
so, but I've got inside information.

We wonder how many of our boys
realize that land is going fast boys
brought up to think that in Amer
lea land can never be scarce; that
when they have played out at every
thing else they can somewhere get
a piece of land for nothing, and the
next day be a prosperous farmer,
can with Difficulty be made to see it.
In 1865 there were but little over
S1,OOO,OOO acres under cultivation
in the United States. To-day the
cultivation acres number 236,000,-
900 and these acres are not only our
best, but they are fast going up in
value beyond the reach of men of
small means. Keen scented corpora
tions snuffing the inevitable battle
from afar are turning their attention
to land, and greedily buying whole
counties with no idea of ever letting
an acre go; but the boy who thinks
he is made for something higher
looks calmly on thinking there will
be plenty left for him should he
ever have to stoop to it. The sons
of half starved teachers, lawyers,
traders and others, who are unsuc-
cessful in their over-crowded call
ings, are turning to our cheaper
lands, sure to find there what they
nor their parents have never known
before-truly independent homes.

No town will become good busi-
ness center so long as its business
men rely on a few merchants to
make the effort to bring trade to
town. Too often the men in a few
lines of trade are about the only
ones that reach out after custom.
Other merchants wait until these
men induce the people to come to
town and content themselves with
trade that naturally drifts to their
place. A public spirited man should
ask himself if he is doing his part
to attract people to come to town
to trade, in helping the entire busi-
ness community, and no town is a
success unless all lines are working
to extend the trade as far as pos
sible, and trying to bring a larger
territory in the circles in which the
town is the business center.

We regret to see a disposition on
the part OF a few of our young people
to quit school. Stay at school an
other year or two, and don't be
ashamed of what ought to be your
glory, that you want to learn more.
Step from the district school to the
High school, from the High school
to college if you can. Get business
education by all means-you will
never learn too much. If you desire
to become a mechanic instead of an
engineer or farmer, an education
will not unfit you to become either.
1t will always be capital bearing a
large income of interest
When home and lands are gone and
spent,
Then learning is most excellent"

The Maine Central and connecting roads
accepted the proposition and for five
weeks the trains visited various parts
of the State, including Belfast, and the
people not only had opportunity to see
the exhibits but lectures were given.
This spring when President Fellows
again preached the subject of train to
the officials of the Maine Central rail-
road, he found that the road was not
only willing, but anxious, to cooperate
with the university in a movement for
the general good. Several conferences
resulted in arranging for the Modern
Farming Special train. Professors Gard
ner, head of the horticultural depart
ment, Bell of the department of ag-
ronomy, Campbell of the department of
animal husbandry, Tower of the depart
ment Of forestry, Russell Of the depart
ment of veterinary science, and Brown
of the department of poultry, with their
assistants, will be on the train. Mem
bers of the State department of agricul-
ture will be invited to accompany the
party and to participate in the exhibits
and demonstrations. 1t is firmly believed
that, with the experience gained in run
ming an agricultural train four years ago,
the work of the Modern Farming Special
in June will prove to be an inspiration to
all those interested in the development
of agriculture in the State of Maine

An enquiry by State commission OF

That the trusts are not responsible; that
the tariff is not the cause; that the labor
unions cannot be blamed; that the pro.
duction of gold is the principal factor;
that national and individual extravaganza
are contributing factors; that other
causes are mlitarism, through uneco-

armament, together with the increasing
burden of pauperism, crime, disease and
accident. There is another factor which
must have its influence on prices, and that
