The Dimmick Farm, says Farm and
Fireside, is located about four miles
southeast of Chardon, Ohio, the ter
minus of the Cleveland, and Chardon
electric line, and not at East Clarendon,
which is their mailing point, a condi-
ton frequently met with in our rural
delivery.
This farm has been in the family for
three generations, and is getting better
every year, the hundred or more cat
tie and the score of mules and horses
|all contributing to the increased fer
tility and tine general air of prosper
ity which is evident on every hand AT
the time of my visit old buildings were
being remodeled and new ones con-
structed. Mr.. Dimmick was moving
from the former home into a newer
building, freshly remodeled after the
bungalow style, and everything was
torn up incidental to these changes,
so that photographs of the farmhouses
were thought impractical. However,
the barns were more forward with
their construction and, though not
completed, have been in use for some
time The original barn was a bank
barn with three slices attached, square
wooden ones. then leading directly

Montgomery at the annual meeting of

Democratic Desire.

n = Z ;
One thing seems pretty clear, how
ever. If Mr., Burleigh as elected, he
will not represent the dominant politi-
cal thought of the State of Maine. He
could not go before the people of Maine
today and in popular referendum Sc
cure an Endorsement of his candidacy
for the Senate. His political views are
not in harmony with either a plurality
of the people or a plurality of the in
coming legislature. He represents a
political element repudiated alike by
Maine and by the Nation.-Biddeford
Record, Democratic.
You are speaking wholly from po-
litical bias. Your position is good
Democratic politics, but it doesn't al
ways pay to lie about a thing like that.
You are not speaking from informa-
tion. as we happen to know. Your
desire has made you color blind and
friend, you will accept the hint from
us without resentment. You may be
seeing red as blue but you cannot con-
vince your readers that 1t is anything
but personal phenomena.
Let US whisper something to you
Govsrner lBurleigh and the Kennebec
Journal are receiving unsolicited as
surance from all over Maine that con-
clusively prove your popular referen-
dun" assertion 10 be partisan wind
Many of the most active Progressives
are writing him that men who did not
support him in the primaries are now
for him to the end.
If you will put your ear to the ground
ypa will hear d movement that is
growing spontaneously against Ding
leyism and political dishonor. 1t was
started by the strongest Progressves
in Maine-men who have known Gov
ernor Burleigh throughout his political
career and need no assurance of his
real but unboasted progressivism-he
is responsive to his constituents. They
do not intend to allow narrow personal
jealousy to interfere with the best in
terests of this State or with the I'M
sullied honor of the new party.
We are in a position to announce at
this time. with figures to back the as
sertion, that were Governor Burleigh
to go before primaries today he would
receive an overwhelming majority.
So. neighbor, have your eyes treated
before you make further proclamation
or you will give your readers good
cause for putting you down as another
persistent prevaricator"

Editorial Comment
Playing Democratic Game.
CRath Times, Dec. I'D

tBdIH 1iIleS, DtC. IL
The Progressive State Committee
recently issued a long pronunciamento
on the u. S. Senatorship which we
are publishing on page today. That
committee is still playing the Demo-
cratic game, and by a speeious argu-
ment is urging members of the Legis-
lature affiliated with the new party
to break faith with the people anu
vote for some one other than Edwin
C. Burleigh for Senator. The ques-
ton, it seems to us, cannot present
itself to a clear thinking man in any
other light than this: That although
there was a declared Progressive"
| in the field for the Senatorial nomi-
nation, the Republicans of Maine, in
Guiding a majority of those who are
now styling themselves Progress
sives," gave Mr.. Burleigh an over
whelming majority; that that major
ity was in the nature of popular
mandate for all Legislators elected on
the Republican ticket to vote for Mr..
Burleigh for Senator; that all candi-
dates for the Legislature perfectly
understood this, and continued to be
candidates on the Republican ticket
fitted more or less by Mr.. Burleigh' S
popularity in their own several con-
tests for legislative seats; and that
| nothing has transpired to relieve
these Legislators of their obligation
| to vote for Mr.. Burleigh for Senator.
| If any of them felt otherwise, there
was plenty of time between the
Chicago bolt and the September cleo
| ton for them to remove themselves
from the Republican ticket. Very
many of them could not have been
elected except as Republican candi-
dates. They owe their election to
Mr. Burleigh's name in part, and
| largely to the support of Mr.. Bur-
leigh's party, and as honorable men
| they are bound to vote for Mr.. Bur-
| leigh.
Go Through as Started or Resign.
(Osspee Valley Herald)
| Fourteen members of the Progressive
| State Committee summarize the princi-
pies involved in the primaries election
| for United States senator as follows:
| Merely because they (the Progress
sive members of the Legislature voted
| in primary of another party.
But this is not the point, which is
| this After the Republicans had noml-
mated Governor Burleigh at the prl'
| maries, thus obligating the Republi-
| cans in the Legislature to vote FOL
him, they were elected TO the Legisla-
| ture as Republicans. Abandoning the
| Republican party does not entitle then
| to take the Office with them, no more
than if they should go over to the
| Democratic party. If they cannot
| eonseientiously act as Republicans II
the Legislature, the only course which
| common honor suggests is for them tt
| resign, and see if they can be re-elect-
| ed as Progressives at a special cleo
| ton. However, Progressive honor /:
uncommon rather than common, ane
| reminds you of how the white mar
| and the Indian who had shot turkey
| and crow tipped a coin to divide
| the spells. IF it comes heads" sait
| the white man, 81 get the turkey anc
you get the crow; if it comes tails, yot
| get the crow and / get the turkey"

Tested with poultry thieves, and it is
a good listen for owners of birds that
they place any value upon to provide
themselves with shotguns and remain
up nights and watch their coops. For
a number of weeks the police have
received numerous complaints of
depredations by poultry thieves, and
while several cases have been in
vestigated it has been impossible to
run down the thieves and the rob-
berries still continue. Monday night
jeremiah Murphy, Winter street, went
to the police station and complained
that his coop had been entered and 1 f..
choice Rhode Island Reds stolen. He
had not been out of the station five
minutes before Special Policeman AL
phonse Pearson came in and upon be-
ing told of the robbery at Murphy's
said someone had stolen two of his
hens that evening. The poultry
thieves seem to be no respecter OF
persons and rob policemen's coops
just as those of men who do not wear
the badge.
