WASTING COFFEE.

A pleasing odor ascended TO the
guest room and one of the visitors
shifted it daintily. THE coffee smells
good" she said. Fastening her prep
arations for breakfast. The other
guest shook her head sadly. Yes,
she replied, ut is good coffee. but it
makes me sorrowful to have anybody
make coffee SO long before meal is
ready. So many persons do that. IL
shows at once the difference between
an ordinary cook and culinary artist.
A careless cook often makes her cof-
fee the first thing and puts 1t on the
back of the range to keep hot, think
ing thereby to have it ready for the
table without further trouble and we'll
out of her way. 1t is a fatal mistake.
All the rich, delicate aroma of the
coffee is lost III that way. We are
getting it up here now. as YOU per
eeive 1t is, as you have said, Very
|appetizing, but coffee is not intended
especially for an appetizer. and you

printer should have paid. The Sem

state printer was not the secretary
of State. and seems TO have added to-

The Journal has never questioned
the sentinels prices under the void
contract as being favorable to the
State; in fact, we have repeatedly
suggested that the Sentinefs work un-
der that contract was without profit.
Therefore, it is childish for the Sem

Why We Oppose License.

Below We offer u few suggestions
which we would like Kennebee Journal
readers to give consideration.
We believe that in time the liquor
evil will be largely overcome by the
survival of the attcst
In these days young men who aim to
get anywhere understand that they
must fit themselves for good work.
They must have good physical recon-
mendations good education and good
personal habits.
The heads of great commercial or
Industrial concerns who always have
good opportunities for young men of
the right sort, are looking for those
best fitted.
They will drop the applicant who
confesses to any liking for or &C
quaintance with intoxicants, like the
proverbial hot potato.
Business concerns of these days have
no use for drinkers of any degree OF
the habit. They do not care 10
chance the possibilities.
Even saloons refuse to employ a
bartender who drinks.
The hope of the age is in recogni-
ton that rum and progress will not
mix.
In the meantime let us use every
influence to defeat the purpose of the
liquor interests.
For 60 years we have struggled
along without saloons; must we have
them now?
In spite of all the opposition of the
liquor interests and the denuneiation
of the Maine law by agents and friends
of the liquor makers, we are aware
that license states consume many
times, per capita, the liquor consumed
in Maine.
Does not that simple fact make it
clear to you why the liquor makers
are fighting so desperately to change
Names laws?
Have we not had enough intoxica-
ton. poverty. insanity and crime be-
cause of the liquor traffic?
Do we want twelve times as much,
to bring the Maine average consump-
ton up to the national average?
If not. work to defeat the Plaisted-
Pattangall plan to sell the State to the
liquor makers.

A Few Plain Facts.

AS an example OF degenerate, sour
rilous. utterly indecent journalism, in
blind. raging, vengeful attack upon
political opponent. the editorial page
of the Waterville Sentinel of Sarur-
dav. Nov. Is, undoubtedly establishes
n record in Maine. Almost every line
of a seven-eolumn page of this sheet,
which has won the contempt of many
respectable Democrats in its home
city. as we'll as throughout Maine.
was devoted to expressions of personal
haired of former Congressman Bur
leigh. Not even the dead are allowed
to rest from the attacks of this or
gan of vituperation, which has been
without financial responsibility.
In Saturdays issue the name of the
dead is 50 handled az to mislead Sem
tinel readers, who do not know, into
the belief that former Congressman
Burleigh was before the Legislative
committee 10 answer questions as to
state printing. From pure malice and
purposes of deceit, this INSCRIPTIONS
paper separates from their surround
ings certain portions of the ground
less charges and testimony before the
Legislative committee, and attempts
TO convince its readers that these
charges (Which it trumpet up and or
which ii secured the legislative in
vestigation) were proven. Yet il
knows, as do its readers who remem-
Der, that every charge was disproven
and that the verdict of the Legisla-
tive committe unanimously exonerated
the kennebec Journal from all
charges. Tie committee was com
posed Of strong representative men of
both parties.
If the Waterville Sentinel intended
TO be fair or decent IN any measure,
i. would publish the testimony of the
practical man of the Kennebee Jour
nal, who had charge of the State
printing for years and who was before
the legislative committee, several
days. and answered, freely and fully,
every question of the committee and
the special attorneys He is alive, to-
day, and his name could not be con-
fused with that of the man whom the
Sentinel assails.

The Reason.


And why all this dust cloud of lies
and deceit? Simply to turn attention
from the triekery and undetermined
methods of those who have been re-
sponsible for the Sentinel publication.
We turned the light OF publicity upon
them for the benefit OF the people of
Maine. One thing after another we
have brought to light and not once
have they been able TO make denial.
We have told nothing but the truth
and there is more 10 follow.
Here is a specimen of Sentinel trick
cry and falsehood: That paper pub
fishes what it terms a Deadly Par
allel" II is supposed to embody the
printers bills for the referendum bal
lot, last year, and the constitutional
ballot, this year.
Not even in this simple statement
did the Sentinel eonfine itself 10 the
truth, although the author of the ar
ticle must have known that the lie
would be made public. There can be
no other excuse for such a course
taken than a deliberate attempt TO
deceive its readers.
The Kennebec Journal cannot at
tempt to answer in detail all the lies
with which an unprincipled opponent
could blot It's pages. We realize that
onr readers are ALREADY Disguised with
a controversy in which they have lit
tie interest. but we deem ii a duty tc
ourselves and to our readers to make
plain the subterfuge, triekery and
downright falsehood by which certain
parties are attempting to cover their
own shortcomings which they cannot
deny.
The Sentinel admits our charges
against ineompeteney ana unbusiness-
like methods. 1t repeats our charges
as Though to refute them and then
launches into falsehood without denial
Even its figures are false and juggled.
Neither bill offered for public inspee-
ton is correct. To the Journals bill

ballot, they have added more thar

Convaleseence is sometimes merely

this true after such diseases as pneu-
