The above article, we think, APP
pears very well upon the main question,
but is mistaken in respect to the treat
ment of a similar bill in the House two
years ago. The vote was very close.
We think there was but two majority
against it, which, in House composed
of 246 voters, was certainly very close,
and shows that at that time the SEN
timent in Vermont was rapidly chang
ing in favor of woman's suffrage; and
we believe this year similar bill will
pass both Houses.

NOSTRUMS!

President Taft has been accused of a
lack of backbone. At the Ohio Society's
dinner in New York recently, he showed
that he had backbone, at least in spots.
His strong and forceful argument
against the recall of judges was conclu-
sive. His denunciation of new political
nostrums" of this kind stirred the great
gathering of business men to their depths
and brought them to their feet in solid
mass of enthusiastic appauders.
The President declared that the de-
vices advocated by this set of reformers,
designed as remedies for defects in the
administration of justice, would IN APP
pllcation violate utterly the fundamental
principles Of righteousness and judicial
administration, in that they would make
effective the temporary notions OF a few
as against the expressed will of the
whole people. His argument was logi-
cal and convincing, and his stirring APP
peal to the conscience and the hearts of
the people will carry decisive weight
Ii President Taft would make similar
ringing protest against the muck -raking
policies which constitute the greatest
hlndrance to returning prosperity, moth
ing could prevent his denomination and
reelection next fall.
1t is beginning to dawn on some of our
political leaders that the assault which
few demagogues have made upon our
judicial system, as we'll as upon the rail-
ways and the industries of the country,
does not by any means indicate public
sentiment.
Away with the quack doctors in politics
and all their new tangled nostrums!-

HAMLlN FOR CONGRESS?
Talk of His Candidacy Arouses the Interest
of His Friends.

While no formal announcement has
been made by a..yone of his candidacy
for the nomination of representative to
Congress from this district, the associa-
ton of Col. H. E. Hamlin's name with
the nomination has ar used no little in
terest throughout Hancock county and
throughout the district, and his friends
hope and expect that he will decide to
permit his name to be used as candl-
date.
Col. Hamlin is one of the leaders of the
Hancock county bar. and one of the most
influential Republicans in Maine, and has
had an interesting and successful career
in the public service. He is a son of the

member of the firm of Hale, Emery &
Hamlin, his associates being ex-senator
Eugene Hale, and ex-Chief Justice L. A.
Emery.
When Judge Emery went upon the
bench in 1883 Col. Hamlin became the
active head of the firm, Senator Hale's
time being wholly occupied in Washing
ton, and the firm name was changed to
Hale & Hamlin. The other active MEM
Der of the firm at the present time is
Henry M. Hall, judge of the Ellsworth
municipal court.
Col. Hamlin has served in both branch
es of the State legislature-in the House
in '93 and '95, being chairman of the
judiciary committee in '95; in the Senate
in '99 and 'O1, being president of the
Senate in 1901. He was judge-a advocate
general on the staff of two governors
Cows. Powers and Hill, from 1897 to 1904.
He was attorney general for two terms,
1866 and 1908, and is now the mem
Der from Hancock county of the Repub
lican State committee. He is one of the
three Maine commissioners on uniformity
of legislation, having served since 1895.

THE RECALL!

Last November General Montero was
the hero of Ecuador. He was the idol
OF the people. The revolutionary arnv
had proclaimed him as President. His
pathway was strewn with flowers He
was acclaimed with bands OF music. His
word was law. The other day this same
general was shot by the angry populace.
dragged into the streets, beheaded and
his body burned. 1t was the recall!
In Western Georgia the other day four
negroes, including girl of twenty wears.
were lynched. 1t turns out that none
was guilty of the crime of which thew
were accused. The people who consti-
tuted the mob decided that they knew
better than the courts and would, there
fore, supplant them. 1t was the recall
OF the judiciary!
In Russian Poland the other dav. a
band of fanatical women elected A man
as their Saviour. He accepted the lob.
1t was an cay way to get living, to
assert his power and exaggerate his i'm
portance. The women decided that as
they Worshlped Saviour, they were en-
titled to prove him Saviour. They de-
manded that he submit to the test of
cruclhXlon and resurrection. He declined.
Inc fanatlcal women dragged him from
his house and were getting ready to nail
HIM to cross when he police interfered
and put stop to the sacrifice. 1t was
the initiative. the referendum and the
recall!
A proverb says, "For three things the
earth is dlsquieted: for a servant when
ne relgneth and for a fool when he is
hlled with meat" 1t will be observed
that there are only two mentioned. The
writer forgot the recall. -Leslie's Week.

To Plant More Corn.

Maine farmers, after much bordering
over the high cost of living, have hit up
on happy thought; they find that as
corn grows very abundantly in Maine
they will plant more of it the coming

expense of importing it from the West.
