Maine Insulted by Her Premier.

The address of Secretary of State
Cyrus W Davis of Maine at the con-
vention of the Brewers Trust in
Chicago. ought to be read by every
voter in Maine. The Kennebec Jour
nal hopes to be able to publish it in
full, that the people of Maine may see
what their premier, thinks of them
when he is away from home. In his
thrilling opening Mr. Davis said:
Furthermore if | may be pardoned a
slight depression, / come TO this great
convention in this titanic civic center
with loyalty to and eommendable pride
in, my native state. Her Puritan fibre,
her love for real home, her respect for
and appreciation of woman. her concep-
ton of the right relations of church,
school and home: the individuality and
the conscience which she has always
tried to weave not only into her citizen
ship but also into the finished product of
her mills, these qualities have been and
are today a very large part OF the leaven
which is purifying the great body-politic
and raising still higher the standards of
the great republic Maine justly values
citizenship She values at his true worth
the citizen. Isl, who has acquired a sta
tus Tor has inherited III under the flag
and who accepts il with as little thought
as he bestows upon the sunshine and
rain from Heaven"
In giving account of the campaign
his. explanation o the brewers why
they have nothing tie show for their
money-the Maine secretary of State
said:
'.The plain every day folks met the on
slaught from the mud batteries as best
they could. Editors gave of their time
and space for refutation and for argu-
ment; honest advocates of the better
way worked early and late TO stem the
tide of yituperation and abuse which
came not only from the churches but
from other organizations of men and
women whose sole aim seemed to be to
vie with each other in intimidating and
even ostraciZing all who would not bow
down and worship a fetch. 1t is hard to
believe until one actually witnesses il.
the lengths to which fanaticism can go
To maintain its ground. Let me tell you
something about the Maine campaign
and some of the methods used TO befog
the electorate.
Thus we are given sharply the con-
uast between Secretary of State
Davis class of plain every day folks"
and the class which opposed him-the
mud batteriess of the fanatics"
You will notice that if you are a
church member or of any other or
ganization which opposed the invasion
of the rum element you are fanatic,
and any utterance you made against
the liquor interests OF their methods
was mudslingng and vituperation.
il you are member of grange
which organization opposed the liquor
interests and fought for the law, you
are not of the plain. everyday folks,
but "fanaHc'' and mud singer"

that the change of sentiment of which

population of the cities. When we
consider that Mr. Davis has clint
mated the church. grange and other

been removed from the Maine con-

lated by him on the referendum vote;
again said that Maine had placed the

Florentino GARLIC, a Mexican Ia

money Thursday afternoon and says a
negro took il.
Witnesses said that W. Hinkle. a

They said that the victim was taken
from the &c bar at the corner OF

being dealt a blow on the back Of
the head was relieved of his money.
GARLIC did not remember what hap
pened after he was struck on the head
but he had deep cut in it and his in
side coat pocket was torn out.
HinkIe went to Juarez but the police
telephoned to the authorities on that

TO GIVE DINNER

of Two CnlOnelS-

Col E. T. Steever and Col. A. c.
Sharpe, and their staff of officers, are
to be the guests of the citizens of FL
Paso at a dinner IN their honor at the
Sheldon hotel next Tuesday evening.
The dinner viii be an appreciation by
the citizens of FL Paso of the two rank
ing army officers stationed here and of
their staffs. 1t will also be in the
nature of a farewell to Col A. G. Sharpe,
commander of Fort Bliss, who will leave
next week for Columbus, Ohio, to
assume his duties of recognizing the
Ohio National guard.
The two colonies have been among the
most popular ever stationed in Ell Paso.
Owing to their courtesy TO the people of
FL Paso, two military band concerts
have been given each week during the
spring season by the 23d infantry and
the Fourth cavalry bands. These have
been given without one cent of cost to
the city or citizens and the dinner is to
be popular and public testimonial to
these men for their consideration.
The plans for the dinner have not vet
been completely worked out but the
arrangements are in charge of mayor
G. z. Kelly and a committee who viii
arrange to honor the military men be-
fitting their rank and the esteem in
which they are held by the citizens of
Ell Paso.

due to the fact that all claimed the

What the court must be if it full

the Y. NJ c. A. who has taken up
with mayor Kelly the idea of opening
up the natatorium at Washington park
for the use of the boys. His letter fol-
lows:
The attached editorial (from the
Herald)- suggests a possibility that
should have the consideration of every
officer and citizen of Ell Paso- The
absolute absence of bathing and swim
ming facilities. except where accompa-
MED by a financial obligation in a
place so in need as FL Paso, is not in
keeping with the other lines of pro-
gress that this city boasts.
The only opportunity for recreation
of this sort is that is afforded by the
cement plant reservoir. three miles
from the city, where the boys have
been flocking for months past
Considering the possibilities attach
ed to the swimming pool already built
at Washington park, I take the liberty
OF offering through the physical de-

conveniences such as should be in
