A Few Plain, Unvarnished Facts.


"Penrose politicians are poor

A larcenier is lily equipped to accuse
men of principle of violating a pledge
which in no sense implies support of
the most disgracefuI act of political
pillage since the convention systen,

Lewiston Journal editorial COM
ment'' on those who refuse to agree
to Dingleyism. Hon Charles {.
Hiehborn, Hon. Athin F. Irving and
Rev. Henry e. Dunnack, leading

eeniers' on announcement of their
stand for honor and integrity and for
keeping faith with the people. 1t is
easily remembered that these gentle
men put up a good fight for Pro
gressive principles, clean politics and
Theodore Roosevelt Yet the mo-
ment they have the temerity to OPP
pose political knavery in their own
party they are insulted, libeled. and
denounced by Editor Dingley, as
thieves in the employ of the Pen
rose party"
Even the Hon. Carl f. Milliken,
Progressive, and next president of the
Maine Senate, does not escape the
Dingley implication of being crook
and controlled by cumberland inter-
ests."
W. w. Sewall, Progressive, the
close friend and former guide of
Roosevelt, met the same TRADE of
abuse; while Rev. b. p Hope and
others who have dared voice their
opposition to the Dingley brand of
hypocrisy and brazen reputation of
pledges to the people, are belittIeds
sneered at and insinuated against as
political swindlers.

and why.
How much longer must the people
of Maine submit TO such indescribable
rot from an irresponsible, as has
characterized the Lewiston Journals
editorial columns since shortly after
Congressman Dingley died? From
that period open abuse of the Re-
publican party began. Every man
who has represented Maine in Con-

target of the most dastardly knitting
ever known in New England news

That is only one of thousand
similar thrusts at the integrity of til,

In the heavens the gold sun and star,
And a silver moon that sails away
To journey in skies afar.

And laugh with my love meath warm

Where blossoms of love their fragrance
Like spring flowers of Paradise.
And here in this wonderful

And dancing over the gardens fair

Castle of Life
Could be banished all sorrow and sin;
But the fiends come creeping along the
And stealthily enter in.
There turks in this wonderful

great giant whose surname is Death
He quietly climbs up the winding stairs
And kills with his chanseless breath.
But love this wonderful
Castle of Life
BY the side of the beautiful sea,
For all of the good | hoped or dreamed
Has come out of life to me.
Some day from this wonderful

Shall cry ''hail' as the vessel draws nigh,
And the Pilot will cheer me as We head

Al PLEA FOR THE LINCOLN

can Architect.

doubtedly has been given much and
able study. Rightly At discourages
anything that would compete with the
Capital or with the Washington Monu-
ment. But 1T shows tendency or
the part Of the commissioners to
stick to the commonplace, the
usual, for they undoubtedly
will fall back upon some hack
neyed peristyle, colonnade shaft, vault,
statuary or other funeral and perfect

served a better fate nc their hands
Here in Washington we suffer from
a surfeit of so-called monuments. We
have colonnades, periStyles, shafts,
men on horse back, anatomical studies
in bronze, fountains, horse troughs
and such scattered DO promiScuously
and so many OF them that they give us
the nightmare and that without the in
termediary of Welsh rarebit- ITO add
to that collection OF junk, smacks OF
cruelty to the natives. We respect

1.-TWO sensible projects had been
suggested; one a great Lincoln Mem

Either would have been a fitting tri-
butte to the great President, sensible
and sentimental i'm that 1t meant some
thing and linked the present to his
time, while like the rugged greatness

jects aside.

it, ways and will insist upon terrace,
some steps, lot Of weeping mer-
maids. a few cannons, four crOss-eyed
infantrymen, granite shaft, bronze
laurel wreaths and few other Vege-
tables, and, of course, quadriga, for,
remember,no perfectly self respecting
monument can possibly be deemed
complete without at least one quad
riga. But, perhaps it may still think
OF states building. Let us pray Ii

URGES LINCOLN HIGHWAY
Congressman Lewis Regards It a.
Most Fitting Memorial.

Representative Lewis has become a
little weary with the pressure Of ar
chitects and societies Of architects
who would erect memorial of stone
Oh a bronze horse TO Abraham Lin
coin.
"Of course, have the greatest re-
spect for the superior technical
knowledge Of the artists and archi-
tects,'' said Mr.. Lewis one day last
week; "but, 4 am afraid, their view
point ID a little narrow. They are
talking shop Such great, plain
man al Lincoln should not be COM
memorated by a pile OF stone, a stack
of granite, or broad, fat effect, as
some enthusiasts propose. Above all
other things Lincoln was man Of
the people and stood for practical
ideas and rugged truths. The pro-
posed Lincoln highway would BE- a
most fitting monument to him. Let
such a highway be built from the
capitol of the nation, where ne work
ed for the salvation of the republic,
to Gettysburg, where the Civil War
virtually ended and where Lincoln
delivered the greatest memorial ad-
dress ever made in any land or Ian

II think that many Congressman
are for the highway, and 7 hope that
many more will favor III. Enough
money has already been wasted In
rockpiles about Washington. What
we want in "a memorial To Lincoln il
something which will be OF practi-
cal use and an effective expression OF
the love and veneratlon of the Ameri-
can people for their greatest Presi-
dent I"

New Stations ON The Western Mary
land.

The Western Maryland Railway
Company has awarded contracts for
new stations which are to be built
along the new Cumberland extension
now nearing completion, and con-
struction work ON the new buildings
has already been gotten under way.
Five of the stations, which are to be
located at Ohio Pyle, Confluence, Rock
wood, Garrett and Myersdale, will be
built by the Myersdale Planning Mill
Company of Myersdale, Pa. The con-
tract for the station at F'rostburg Md,
has been awarded to Olin Gerlach, a
builder, of FrOstburg.
1t is expected that all the new sta
lions will be completed and ready
for occupancy within the next two
months.
At the offices of the Western Mary
land it was stated this week that about
30 miles of train track on the new
Cumberland extension had been laid,
leaving only 81 miles of track yet to
b. built The greater part of the
viaduct work has been finished, and
it is believed that the line will be
finally opened around February 4.

a Few Words OF Caution TO House
holders.

This spell of cold weather has caus-
ed more freezeups than have been
known for years. A little precaution
will save a world of trouble. Below
are few words Of advice:
The freezing of the waste pipe is
caused by the dripping OF the spigot.
This constant drip freezing in the
pipe a little at time, makes ice in
the same manner that the icicle forms
on the rain spout -
To prevent this be sure all the
spigots are shut off tight. The safest
and surest way il to put the stopper
in the basin or tub whichever it hap
pens to be.
There has also been great deal OF
damage done by the freezing Of the
waterback in the range. If this is
frozen and a hot fire made in the
range 1t il liable to explode and blow
the Goals out of the stove.
The first thing to do in the morning
to ascertain whether or not this Ii
frozen is to turn on the hot water
spigot- If the water runs it j. not
frozen If ii doesn't send for a
plumber at once. A few. precautions
such as the above will save a world Of
trouble and inconvenience.
