Sometimes very little thing turns the
scale of public opinion. DIR. Burchard' S cali
upon Hon. James G. Blaine at the Fifth
Avenue hotel and his use in his address of
the phrase, Rum, Romanism, and Re-
aellion," may have cost Mr. Blaine the
presidency, although it is generally ad-
mitted now that he was counted out by
Tammany. Gen. Hancock met defeat as
candidate for the presidency because
in one of his addresses he declared the
tariff to be "a local ISSUE" although the
tariff was then and is today local issue
Hon. VIM. 7. Haines of Waterville was
defeated as candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for governor because he
had declared himself in favor of resub-
mission; but everybody realizes now
that had the question been submitted to
the people then there would have been a
more decisive vote for prohibition, and
that had Mr.. Haines been nominated he
would now be serving his second term as
Governor Of the State.

Under the referendum the voters of
Chicago We're called upon to say Eyes"
and NO to the following proposition:
For consenting to the act entitled An
act to amend the act entitled An act in
relation to a municipal court in the CITY
Of Chicago, approved May IS, 1905, as
amended by An act approved June 8.
1907, entitled An act to amend An act in
relation TO municipal court in the city
Of Chicago approved May IS, 1905.
This proposition is no doubt correctly
stated, as it was so printed in The Satur-
day Evening Post. Now, how would you
vote on it? How would the voters lug
ged or hauled to 1.-THE polls in this city
each spring to vote for a one-man city
government decide this lucid question?
The Post explains, however, that the
proposition really is whether salaries of
the judges and other employees of the
municipal court should be increased one
hundred and twenty-five thousand dol
lars year. 1t looks like an attempt to
bunco the voters.

The Pattangall- Plaisted program for
redistricting the State in the interest of
the Rum party is said to be as follows:
The First Congressional district, con-
sisting of Cumberland and York counties,
to remain as it is, and the Democratic
leaders of York county ''claim that in
another election they will be able to
show substantial gains, sufficient to keep
Congressman Kinds on the anxious seat,
if, indeed, they do not beat him. The
Second district will consist of Kennebec,
Androscoggin, Sagadahoc, Lincoln and
Knox, which will assure the seat to Nc.
Giliicuddy the Pullman car hero, or some
other Nc, "for decade" according to
Democratic figuring. 1t is announced
that "the formation of such district
shelves former Congressman Edwin c.
Burleigh and his congressional ambitions,
if he has any, for ten years at least. I"
That Mr.. Burleigh has the special ami
mostly of the Waterville Democratic
ling of shady politicians is mark of
distinction due to man who has never
failed to meet his business or political
obligations. The Third district is to con-
sist of Penobscot, Waldo, Washington
and Hancock counties, and the Demo-
Gratis claim that this combination gives
them "a fighting chance" The Fourth
district, regarded as "a sure Republican
district" will consist of Oxford, Frank
lin, Somerset, Piscataquis and Aroostook
counties, and this of course relegates
Congressman Gould to the discard. This
is the Pattangall-Pl program, of
which the Augusta correspondent of the
Bangor Commercial says:
A new thought was injected into the
situation this week when someone sug-
gested that the Republicans and the
Somerset county Democrats, who OBJ
ject to the new plan, might invoke the
referendum and endeavor to defeat the
bill before the people. Such proceed
ing would seriously embarrass the 1912
elections, unless the referendum petit
lions were flee and the special election
necessary for the approval or the rejec-
ton of the bill, is held before the first
Monday in May. If the full 80 days is
used, as is possible, it would prevent or
delay nominations until after the date
fixed by the Davies law.

OBITUARY.

Mfs. Lydia (Rand) Clements died at her
home in Winterport Nov. %, 1911. Her sick
ness was Of short duration and death was due
to diseases incidental to her advanced years.
The deceased was born in Swanville April II,
1888, the daughter Of Henry and Hannah
(Haynes) Rand. She was united in marriage
to Albion Prentiss Clements Of Winterport
on March %, 1858, and went to live at the
homestead, where his aged parents received
her tenderest care and devotion. Three chill
dren resulted from this marriage: Eta, who
died in infancy; Fred, who died at the age of
thirteen years; and Roscoe L., who has always
lived at home and with his wife had cared for
his mother since the death of the husband and
father Eve years ago. A touching and un-
usually strong devotion existed between this
husband and wife, and his death, with the
memory of the loss of idolized children,
Swallowed her later life; yet. she went bravely
and cheerfully about her duties in the home
she loved so well and her life was made
brighter by the presence Of her dearly -loved
grandchildren, Frank p, the young son Of the
home, and little Barbara, in whom, to her,
seemed to live again her lost daughter. She
is survived by sister, Mrs. Wealthy Bates of
Dexter, and two brothers, Josiah Rand of
Kingman and Henry Rand of Kennebunkport.
The last named was the only one able to be
present at the funeral. To these relatives
the sympathy of many friends is rendered and
a feeling of personal loss is also sustained for
one who has lived SO many years among them.
She was an honored member of Northern
Light grange Of Winterport, having been the
first member initiated after its organization.
The funeral services were held at her late
residence Friday afternoon, Dec. l, 1911. The
officiating clergyman was Rev. Ashley A.
Smith Of Bangor, who in touching words paid
beautiful tribute to her many virtues and feel
ingly read an appropriate poem. Two solos
were rendered by Mrs. May Bussey. There
were floral pieces from the family and a
bouquet of white pinks from Northern Light
grange. Merton Haley had charge of the ar
engagements, and the bearers were S. ]. Fish,

Passing out of the shadow,
Into purer light;
Stepping behind the curtain,
Getting clearer sight
Laying aside burden,

Done with the worlds vexations
Done with the tears and toll.
Passing out of the shadow
Into eternal cay.
Why do we call it dying?
This sweet going away"
