NOT IN FISH BUSINESS.
Commissioner Donahue States That
He Has Sold That Business.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Dear Sir: / note in your paper of
December 18th an article in reference
to nay candidacy for reappointment as
commissioner of sea and shore fisher
les, in which you state that l am in
the wholesale fish business in Rock
land; and ] wish to inform you that
/ am not in the fish business at the
present time, although | had been
connected with it for more than TWEEN
ty years previous to my appointment
as commissioner. After assuming the
duties of the office I sold my fish bus
mess, AS / then realized that the i'm
portance of the Office demanded all my
time and energy; and / am frank to
say that no one man can do the de-
partment justice without giving 1T his
undivided attention. But few people
realize the Importance of the sea and
shore fisheries department of this
state. But when you stop to think that
there are about fifteen thousand fish
ermen employed and about as many
more persons engaged in handling. CUR
ing and packing the product, and
that the money value of the raw ma
terial as taken from the water is be-
tween five and six million dollars per
year, this amount being more than
double what it was ten years ago. and
still gaining" you then realize the
portance Of proper management and
supervision of the department..
Respectfully yours,

Indorse Burleigh
For u. S. Senate.
Milliken and Peters for Legislative
Officers.
tFrom Bangor News.)


The Penobscot county Republican
members of the legislature, in session
Thursday afternoon in the Penobscot
Exchange, placed themselves squarely
on record as favoring the candidacy of
Edwin c. Burleigh of Augusta for the
United States Senate. They also en-
dorsed John A. Peters of Ellsworth for
speaker of the house, and Carl e. Mil
liken of Island Falls for president of
the senate. 1t was voted to present
the name of Charles w. Coffin of Ban
gor as member of the governors
council from Penobscor county-which
is equivalent to an appointment.
The meeting was called to order at
80 those present being Senators
Charles f. Smith of Newport, George
RI. Richardson. of old Town and Ia
Der d. Bailey of Bangor, and Repre-
sentatives w. II. Mitchell of New
port, Frank E. Morrison of. Corfnth,
A. Fred O'connell of Milford, Leon F.
Higgins of Brewer. Bertram l.. Smith
of Patten, and George w. Thombs of
Lincoln. The only absentee was Rep
resentative Matthew w. Twombley OF
Enfield. Representative Smith of Pat
ten presided. ~
The resolution favoring the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Burleigh was unanimously
adopted, and was inspired, as one of
the members expressed it, by the dis
cussion of independent action on the
part of the Progressives. The en-
dorsement of the candidates. of Mr..
Milliken and Mr.. Peters was also u
unanimous, and Mr.. Coffin was the only
candidate of importance for the coun-
ell. although a few other names We're
tentatively mentioned.
No other action of public interest
was taken, although the legislative
situation was informally discussed.
Hon. r. n. Parkhurst, state commit
teeman for Penobscot county. was a
guest of the delegation and made n
few remarks.
The delegations next meeting will
be in the Augusta House at 1890 p. M.
ON the Monday prior to the converting
of the legislature.

! with you in this campaign. We have
accepted the benefits of your efforts
and expect to profit by them. BUT
should those efforts result in the
election of Republican Legislature.
we shall then, and not till then, an
nounce that we are not bound by the
primaries. and are under no moral
obligation to support you. To an
nounce this now, however, would I'M
doubtedly result in a Democratic vic
tory, therefore we shall continue to
urge Progressives TO vote the Repub
lican ticket, and largely upon the
ground that in no other way can they
vote for you as United States sena-
tor
The course now advocated by few
gentlemen whose motives may be sim
cere, but whose premises are unsound,
embraces absolutely every element Of
that rather homely proposition, min
us its one honest feature, namely. its
announcement to Governor Burleigh
prior to the election.
Again, suppose Roosevelt had been
the choice of the Chicago convention.
and that thereupon President Taft
had inaugurated new party. The
Kennebec Journal and Governor Bur-
leigh would have supported Col
Roosevelt, as the Republican Presi-
Dental nominee. What would Roose-
welt Republicans have said to Taft
men who proposed to repudate the L.
S. Senatorial primary, under circum-
stances similar to those outlined
above?
We re-iterate that we in no way
impugn the motives of the gentle
men signing the communication. They
have reasoned from false premises,
that is all. And when a man has
once reached and announced a con-
clusion in a matter of politics or re-
llgion, it is no easy matter for his
neighbor to correct, or for him to
change, that conclusion. That's sthe
human nature of it. AS Justice White
house aptly remarked in admonish-
ing the jury in a recent case:
An opinion unexpressed is your
servant, but once expressed, it is your

The Sterilized Christmas.

The government has declared a quaran-

tree of commerce because it is infected
with a disease germ.-News note.
We've sterili2ed the ehoo-ehoo,
And we've SteriliZed the drum,
We've isteriliZed the Teddy Bear,
But still more had TO come;
The germs must be excluded
From the day that takes our pelf,
So we've ended up by treating
The Christmas tree itself.
The dolls are fumgated.
Ere we hang EN- on the tree:
Each horn of tin is labeled
With a doctors guaranty;
We thought we had things beaten,
But now science lifts its hand
And says the Christmas treelet
Forever should be banned.
So hasten and prepare, then,
An artificial tree
With germless branches on it;
Make Santa see that he
Has sterilized his whiskers
Before he makes his call:
Make your early shopping germless
When yoa 60 the same this fall.

: Eastport Sentinel: Several stories
have been in circulation during the
past week as to alleged hold-ups in
the western part of the city, which
upon investigation proved to be made
up of whole cloth from a very vivid I'M
agination. One resident in that sec
ton even circulated a story of having
been attacked by one of the mysteri-
eps hold-up men," who hit him on the
forehead with a club and il was only
after a severe struggle that Ie man..
aged TO free himself from his assail-
ant He had the marks of the blow
on his forehead for proof, but a thor
ough investigation by Marshal Will
son disclosed the fact that his alleged
assailant was q buggy which lie had
run against in his own dooryard, and
in the collision he had struck his fore
head and cut it slightly. Thinking TO
make himself a hero in the eyes of his
neighbors he had constructed this
story, exhibiting tie cut on his fore
head for proof. Such tales ss these are
very harmful and some sort of punish
ment should be meted out to the per-
son or persons guilty of them.

Of up-to-date, hustling, wide awake
business men and farmers who are
always on the alert for anything
which prom ses to benefit their

buildings in this little city there
is not one vacant while it would be
impossible to find an empty residence

There is no selfishness in the
spirit which peryades this town.
When the citizens of Hewitt see a
business proposition open to them,
they at once investigate it and
should it be meritorious they take
immediate steps toward mailing" it
for their city. An effort to improve
the town and help out the surround

everything else.

Texas delegates to the irrigation
