Another War Claude

A Washington orieSpondent writing
of the ID. A. r. convention says satir-
ically: THE d. A. R.-ters, after a
week of agony, have adjourned with
out actual bloodshed" He quotes a
gray-haired gentleman, who had been
locker on at the convention as fol-
lows:
Il do not believe that the national
Democratic convention at Charleston.
in 1860. where passions seethed and
which precipitated the awful war be-
tween the states was more intense in
feeling in that gathering of men than
was manifest here in the aggregation
of women over the election of the
chief officers of the Daughters OF the
American Revolution"
The correspondent goes on by say
ing that the conduct of the normally
good and amiable women composing
this ostensibly peaceable and patriotic
organization has been such as to cause
the judicious of both sexes greatly
to grieve. He says that common talk
is that as a result of the dIsbehaviour
of some leading members of this dele
cation the whole organization has been
| that for one thing it has caused a re-
vulsion of sentiment of men inclined
to look favorably upon the proposition
to grant suffrage rights to women.
Again it is said that the venting of
passions at the convention has caused
not a few to resign from the ergan-
ization and has deferred many from
joining it who had qualified for mem
hership.
Il this be true, it is cause for pub
| lie regret, because with all the faults
of it's ever-zealous leaders it is an
organization of which the public at
large is generally appreciative and
proud. But if these leaders of a mill
itary organization. as its name might
suggest. have incurred the displeasure
of the militant suffragettes there is
quite liable to be a war that would
turn the Mexican regulars and in
surgents green with envy. Mr.. Car
negie should take a hand in this af-
| fair with a generous appropriation
| looking toward provisions against pos
sible hostilities between the warlike
d. A. r. and the militant suffragettes.

And have no fear to die tonight
In the storm that is to be-

And the waves roar loud and strong:
No moon. no stars. but through the mist
hear strange wild song.
And from the heights above
The sea-birds cry: Too late!
Another voice is calling you,
Ii is the Wind of Fate.

Kinds, the First District Prize.
(Bridgton News.

The Press, which we judge is for
Taft reciprocity. nevertheless cannot
see its way clear to follow it's relative,
| the Lewiston Journal, in denunciation
of Kinds. Says the Press:
In voting against Canadian reciprocity
Congressman Asher c. Kinds only did
what he told the people of the first con-
gressional district he should do if he
were elected None of his constituents
can charge him with being unfaithful to
them or with not keeping his faith.
Apropos this, the following, from
Washington correspondence to the
Waterville Sentinel is Illuminating:
William NJ. Pennel his Democratic
opponent, who was within 500 votes of
going to Congress instead of Mr.. Kinds
was a pronounced advocate of reciproci-
ty. This was about eight months In ad-
vance of the Taft agreement. Mr. PEN
nell insisted upon the merits of reciproci-
ty, so far as it applied to the first Maine
district far in advance of the remarkable
Taft utterance.
In view of this, which most people
had forgotten, Asher c. Kinds looms
up as a figure in national politics
towering far and away above the pig
mics who yield their convictions to
execute dictation and threats, the
shaking of the big stick" as it were.
careful peruSal of Kinds speech
easily reveals the fact that the First
District has drawn a prize in it's new
congressman.

GOOD PROGRAM RENDERED
The Choir at the M. e. Church Il
Making Good Progress.

Sunday evening the Methodist
choir rendered very creditable
musical program. The opening
anthem Praise unto the Father
deserves special mention and was
particularly well rendered Mrs
Bishop captivated the audience
when she sang Face to Face
Mrs. Yahne sang 1.-THE Golden
Pathway" and Mrs. Moore 1.-THE
Lost Chord" in pleasing manner.
The entirea choir did exceptionally
we'll and is to be congratulated
upon the improvement made under
the leadership of VIM. Stevenson
Beginning Sunday evening the
choir will, in addition to the usual
Anthem, render solo or some
other extra piece along with one
of the more difficult Hymns in the
Hmynal.
If any one wants to hear their
fsvorite hymns or solos rendered, a
request to Mrs. Bishop OF the Rev
Moore is all that is necessary. All
that is asked is that il will be with
in the capabilities of the choir.
Next Sunday evening Mrs Bishop
will render REST in the Lord
from Elijah.

Lecture at kent's Hall
Monday Night.
INDIANS in ALASKA STARVING
The Word lsaistins Of an Alaska Spring
Was Well Chosen.

Hon. c. w. H. Heiderman de-
livered a very able and historic
lecture on Alaska in Kent's hall on
Monday evening to large and APP
preciatsve audience. w. b. Haw-
kins introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Heiderman gave d brief his
tory of the purchase of Alaska
from the Russian Government in
1857. Stating that the purchase
was diplomatic rather than a
speculative one. The only visible
resource of Alaska at that time was
the fur industry. Mr.. Heiderman
gave some startlings facts concern
ing the disappearance of the sea
otter and the fur seal, and stated
that the sad story of the buffalo
was being reacted in Alaska today.
Alaska has an area OF over 35o
million acres and Is therefore many
times as large as Idaho, with over
Is 900 miles of coast line on three
oceans-tbe Arctic, Pacific and
Bering Sea. Alaska has over 5000
miles of coast, exclusive Of islands
where the temperature scarcely
ever goss 10 the zero point. de
gave a history OF the early mining
camps and told about the grea'
possibilities of the fur, fisheries
mining, coal, copper and fores'
industries. Speaking of 'Alaskar
Indian Mr.. Heiderman said; "Hi'

lend the grading and packing.
"Good packing and grading has
its advantages even In the home
as every one knows, who /
has tried 1t. To illustrate; Suppose
YOU have five boxes of apples three
fifths of which are first-class and
the remainder below grade Now
don't mix these all together and
box them up or you will have to
sell them all for seconds and have
your customers dissatisfied. because
the middle of the box is not like
the top LAYER. Instead, pick out
vonr three boxes of first grade
apples and pack them in uniform
style and sell tbs remaining two
boxes for seconds or culls, and you
will realize more money from the
whole five boxes than you would
bv the other method, besides giving
your customers just what they ex-
pect to get"

AS to the importance of the Apple
Show to the industry, he called at
tention to> "the vast improvement
that is apparent in packing and
grading since the first apple shs%,
The great stimulus that has been
given to apple growing In the
North west and the increased prices
The fact that vast numbers OF apple

The meeting rendered Mr.. Smith
