Aish TO thanh Mr. Hanson for his
kindness in assuming that may be
q member of The siNty-third Congress. /
shall certainly Try my best to b.
elected tAppausel
Or course il is none of MIR. Hanson
business as 10 how shall vote be
tween Mr. TAFT and Mr. Roosevelt. He
is a Democrat and not interested. His
sole purpose in asking the question is
to endeayor to stir up strife in the
Republican party between the Taft
Republicans and the Roosevelt Re
pub'icans. The Democrats would ike
10 get Us into a row before the State
election, but | want to say to Mr..
Hanson and his Democratic friends
hat he cannot do this. Today we are
all Republicans in the State Of Maine
and We are going to redeem the State
with q united party aud defeat Gov
ernor Plaisted. (Applause.)
1t is of course. evident that there
is only one chance in ten thousand Of
any such proposition as Mr.. Hanson
puts up to me as ever coming before
me. II is almost absurd TO suppose
/ that the people will not elect some
body President, that the House will
be a tie that the Vice President will
not serve or that some legal luminary
from nowhere in particular would be
able to change the Constitution or add
to the Constitution so that the sixty
third Congress would ever have to act
/ in the matter.
/ But Mr.. Hanson thinks it would be
cowardly on the part of Mr.. Goodwin
not to inform the Republicans of his
j district how he will vote as a member
of that Congress and | am very glad
+ to answer him, although his language
is more forcible than polite in making
his request, and I say to Mr. Hanson
and his Democratic friends that when
| take my seat as a member of the.
siXty-third Congress, as | expect to-,
the Republicans of this district will
have voted in November for President
A majority of them will have voted for
either Mr.. Taft or Mr. Roosevelt Of
course, | should not vote for Wilson
as he is a Democrat and | would rath-
err have Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Roosevelt
than a thousand Free Trade Wilson's.
(Applausel And | say that if a ma
jority of the Republicans of this Dis
triot vote for Mr.. Taft for President,
shall vote for him for President if
the question arises; and if the major
ity of the Republicans of this Dis
trct in November vote for Theodore
Roosevelt. | shall vote for Theodore
Roosevelt in Congress, if I have
chance. Great Applause, cries of
That's Good" That's Fair.0
In other words, | shall vote as my
Republican constituents instruct me
to vote in November | shall leave it
to the people to decide (Applause0
| was nominated by Taft and Roose-
welt Republicans in a square fight in
the Primaries and | believe | am go
ing to be elected by the solid support
of the Republicans throughout the
State of Maine. (Applause)
Again wish to say to Mr.. Hanson
that if | am elected Congressman. !
shall support the policies of Mr.
Roosevelt or Mr. Taft whoever may
be President earnestly. cordially and
enthusiastically, but only so far as
they are consistent with my judgment
and my conscience. (ApplauseD

Did you not while speaking in this
town two years ago point your finger
at Sheriff Mooers and say, in sub
stance that there sat a man who en-
forced the Prohibitory Law and that,
if entrusted with the work of admin
istration, you would see that the Law
was enforced all over Maine.

Our Question:

One more question: You claim to
be unable to have the Prohibitbry Law
enforced. Name one thing you have
done, two things you have done, ten
things you have done. to prevent null
LITIGATION. If you have done nothing,
you cannot claim the Law incapable
of enforcement. Somerset has en-
forcement.

Governor PIaisted's Answer:

tell you, if | am elected, I am go
ing to keep right on for the next two
years. | do not intend to be the Sher-
if of the State or the Guardian Of

Our Questions:


We have a man in this town who
acts as Sheriff OF the County: He is
an honest gentleman, conscientious
in his duties, and has served the people
as Sheriff in a manner that has met
with their approval You profess in
your speeches to love the old Pine
Tree State, that you dislike awfully
to see her laws in the mire, that you
love honest men and that you
want to see faithful officials in office
In view of the record of John Mooers
even though William R. Pattangall
has held him up to ridicule-will you
honestly endorse his candidacy be-
fore the voters in the Opera House
when you speak here next week? If
not. why not? Will an excuse that
you do not care to dip into local af-
fairs answer the purpose. You have
taken occasion to speak a word for
John Mooers in the past why not
now?
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1912-08-22

MED. need not tell you that am not
a fool nor a hypocrite.
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1912-08-22
Our Question:

If you now state, as you did at
Saco, that you. as Governor, do not
propose to act as Chief of Police. or
something to that effect, and that you,
as Governor, can do nothing toward
the enforcement of all law, what did
you mean by your promise of two
years ago made on the platform of
the Skowhegan Opera House? Was
it bid for votes? Did you keep your
promise to the people? We're you
honest with the voters? Although,
having been Sheriff of Kennebec
County can you plead ignorance of
the power of a Governor in his sworn
duty to see that all laws are enforced?

You claim to have lowered the State
tax rate to 4 mills. VIII you please

was able to reduce the tax rate for

The domestic government of the
monasteries was regulated in 1046 by
Constantine Monomachos. with the
aid Of the patriarch of Constantinople.
BY the imperial document which he
issued women are forbidden on the
peninsula, prohibition so strictly OBJ
served that even the Turkish aga, or
of1cial, who resides at Karyaes. may
not take his harem with him. To
such an extent is this prohibition
carried that even the females OF ami

The Paleologi emperors at Con-
stantinople and the Slav princes of
the Balkan peninsula enriched the
monasteries of Mount Athos. Occa-
sionally a Byzantine emperor took
refuge there from the cares of state.
Amid the political disasters of the
Greeks during the fourteenth century
Mount Athos appears as kind of
holy land. place where the Hellenic
spirit was cherished when it was
threatened elsewhere, and even today
1t Is one of the most sacred pilgrimage
sites OF the entire Greek church and
the feasts of the principal monaste-
rfes are always celebrated with great
pomp.
The fall of Constantinople in 1853
brought no modification Of the condi-
tons on the holy mountain. The
monks. who stubbornly opposed all at
tempts at reconciliation with the
church of Rome, submitted at once to
the domination OF the Osmanli and.
with rare exceptions, have never been
interfered with by the Turkish au.
thorities.
AS a general rule the monks hold
their property in common. They are
divided into two classes. the "idicrhyth-
mic" and the "cenobitic." The latter
lives are Of great monastic rigor,
their chief occupation day and night
being solemn public prayer. The 9TH
ers enjoy a little more freedom and
practice minor industries In aid Of
the common support.

For thousands of years Mount
Athos, the monastery covered emil

cidice peninsula, In the Aegean sea,
has been center of religious activ-

of the Christian era sanctuary of
zeus (Jupiter) stood on the noun
tain. 1t is the mountain that the
architect Dinocrates offered to turn
into statue OF Alexander the Great
with a city In one hand and in the
other a perennially flowing spring.
It's chief modern interest lies in the
fact that at least since the beginning
of the middle ages 1t has been the
home of a little monastic republic
that still retains almost the same
autonomy granted thousand years
ago by the Christian emperors of Con-
stantinople. In 1905 the many fortified
rnonasteries and hermitages on Mount
Athos contained 1853 monks, includ-

REAL ORIGIN or THE PEARL
Nest Of Them Due to Parasites That
Live IN Oysters sheil--Pcetio
Fancy Shattered
Ry DIR HUGH NJ. SMITH. IN tho Ma

(By DIR. HUGH M. SMITH. IN tho Nn~
tionai Geographic Magaxine.)
FOR many centuries, even until COM
paratively recent times, 1t was tho
common belief that pearls were drops
OF dew that gained entrance into the
shell of an oyster. and were there
transformed into lustrous gems. Arab
and Indian divers still believe that at
certain seasons oysters come to the
surface and suck in the rain-drops
that later become pearls. Science.
however. has rudely shattered this
poetic fancy. and discovered the real
origin to be worm.
We know that almost any foreign
body-a grain OF sand, bit OF mud
or shell. piece OF ragweed or a small
animal--may by its Irritation cause
the mollusk to cover 1t with nacre
and make 1t the nucleus of pearl;
but the largest part OF the annual
pearl crop of the world Is due to para
sites that normally pass part OF
their life-cycle within the shell of the
pearloyster. ef
Minute spherical larvae OF marine
worms known as cestodes become EN-.
bedded In the soft tissues, as many
as forty having been found In one
Ceylon oyster AS the result Of irrt
tation. the oyster forms a protecting
sac about the intruder, and then II the
larva dies, its body is gradually con-
verified into carbonate of lime, and the
pearly mass proceeds to grow with
the shell.
II the larva lives. 1t may pass into
the body of the strengthened trig-
ger-fshes which prey on the pearl
oysters, there undergoing further de-
velopment Ultimately 1t reaches the
body OF the great rays which in turn
eat the trigger.nshes. In the rays the
worms attain full development, and
produce larvae that are cast into the
sea and find Judgment in the pearl
oysters. Thus the cycle is begun once
more.
We may literally accept the saying
of celebrated French investigator.
