Let Us Consider Before We Deny.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Let awakened minds think-"Where
are WEI"
MANY of them that sleep in the
dust of the earth (ther bodies) shall
awake"
We today, observe the awakened
world.
when Gods judgments are in the
world, the people will learn righteous
ness"
The people are learning righteous
ness.
Gods judgments on sin and all
forms of unrighteousness are beeom-
ing manifest.
The people are learning TO fear the
saying: BE sure your sin will find
you OUT
When He. the spirit of Truth, is
come He will convince the world OF
sin, of Righteousness and judgment"
Truly this spirit is now abroad
throughout the world.
This is why such an overturning is
taking place, and people are reform
ing their habits of life.

This is the last of the prophecies to be

The thinking mind will not deny
that in these days we are experiencing
such "overturning" as never known

Not only are the forces of good more
active, but SO are the forces of evil.

great final battle, with "the time at

Wilson's Speeches and His Laws.

Governor Wilson has impressed
himself on the intelligence of the
country by his matchless speeches and
addresses. Models of easy literary
form. they reveal clear insight Of
the principles of government, a COM
prehensive grasp of public affairs, a
profound belief in the fundamentals
of democracy, and power Of practi-
cal application, that confirm and
strengthen the popular conviction
that he is pre-eminently fitted to dis
charge the duties of President of the
United States. This conviction is fur

ponents have feebly sought 10 convey
the impression that the Democratic
candidate, whom they are fond of styl-
ing DIR Wilson is merely academ-
ic reforrner, doctrinaire removed

| own pen that are making his present
"matehless speeches" laughing stock
| His comprehensive grasp of public
affairs is shown in tariff utterances
that are not only utterly absurd but
make plain that he has not even a
fundamental understanding of either
the purpose, the accomplishment, or
the existing schedules of tariff pro-
visions. The average Maine farmer
would be shocked by DIR. Wilson's ig-
norance of the simplest solutions in
the complex tariff problem.
This wholly inexcusable lack of more
than scholarly theory is not an indi-
cation of narrow intelligence, but
proof positive of entire lack Of inter-
est in the past as to the "fundamen-
tails of democracy" 1t is painfully
apparent TO DR.. Wilson'S friends and
supporters that he has lived aloof

CWaterville Sentinel.)

wv dlGINlile SSelitiHtit
Six elections have been held in the
city of Waterville since the municipal
election in March, 1911. Two more
elections will be held here between
now and the sixth of November. That
will make a total of eight elections In
period of 20 months. The list is as

June, 1912, State primary election.
September, 1912, State election.
October, 1912, new charter election
November. 1912, national election.
The average cost to the taxpayers
of Waterville of each of these cleo
lions is 500.
The cost of eight will be $4,000.
Should the new charter be adopted
on Monday, there will be two more
elections in the present year. Ihere
will be IN the month of December q
primary and regular city election
They will involve an additional ex-
pense OF $1400 to be paid on account
of elections during the present mun-
cipal year.
Thereafter. in each year, there VIII
be one additional election in this city
In place of the election now held IN
March, there will be the two elections

will be four municipal and State cleo
lions with fifth election in presiden-
tial years. Each of these elections
costs money.

Coal Panic Talk.

Il may be only rumor or scare
based on the Sudden inspection OF
seaies of dealers in certain cities. hui
1t is limited that horrible examples
are to be made of dishonest coal men,
The report has leaked out that the
government secret service has been re-
cruited largely. and that Uncle Sam is
going quietly to work in unexpected
places on this coal panic business. I'M
doubtedly there is crookedness and
selfish purpose behind the squeeze
that means suffering for millions, to
say nothing of the hardship of paying
ciltthf eat prices.
In Kansas City one set of scales
that registered 1850 pounds to the
ton was found. Such a dealer should
be given penitentiary opportunity for
long dehberation on the subject of
honesty.
1t Is suggested that secret service
agents will not make consecutive and
methodical inspection, but jump into
unexpected places and not only test
scales but actually Weigh and inspect
loads and bills in transit to customers
AS no brass bands are to herald the
coming of these secret service men, a
hint to the wise may save some men
now reputed to be short on scruples,
from Jail or fine, or both.
At a time when coal prices, at the
very opening of cooler weather, are
being lacked up often and largely, the
general public is in a mood to relish a
few slaughters. But the real one
the old boss bear in the den-has not
been reached and cannot be smoked
out by hunting the retailers. The in
yestigation must go deeper and mean
business. In the mean time if we can
not get sufficient coal or wood to
keep warm, our tempers will help.
Concerning conditions there the
Portland Press says:
"The coal situation in this city has
become serious--in fact, it is said, the
most serious since the big anthracite
strike Of 1902 Another advance in re-
tail prices was made yesterday. rang

BUYS coal now, If he gets it at all; will
have to pay smartly. Stoseisis per-
haps the grade most generally used,
and this along with egg he's jumped in
a day from s7s5 to SIS, an increase OF
80 cents or more than II per cent; and
the same grades We're Selling year
ago az s7.25, SO that the buyer has to
nav a, fifth rndre now than. then. The
largest demand is always for chestnut
among the domestic sizes, but this,
while topping the price list before, has
now Jumped but eight per cent and
stands with the other two at 1913.
Broken goes up to $780, and pea, which
is the least sought for domestic use,
and which a year ago could be bought
for 1915, is now quoted at 1925, an ad-
vance of slips or more than &c per cent
an year. Even soft coal does not es-
cape, but goes up a fifty-eent notch.
1T is noticeable that prices have jump
ed in Boston at the same time, but
not so high. Stove and nut are quoted
there at 1926, and other sizes accord
ingly. and it does not readily appear
how the Portland dealers are warrant
ed in charging fifty cents ton more
than the Boston price"

Pennington Chronicle: To steal
soapgrease from a widow has always
been considered the limit of mean
ness. How much better is it to take
the garden vegetables of two women
who earn their living by washing, one
a widow the other having a bedridden
husband? Two women on Perham
street in spare hours not required at
their work OF washing and ironing,
made themselves last spring nice
garden and hoped to enjoy the pro-
duets thereof, but the garden has been
a prey to sneak thieves and the two
women are deprived of the results of
their toll. Other people in that vicini
ty have also lost corn and other gar
den produce. These things, We are
glad to say, do not often happen in
Pennington.

The James Walker Co. box wood
mill at Basin Mills shut down, Mon
day night, says the Bangor CONNER
cial. for what may be the last time.
The site and water power there was
sold to the Bangor Power Co. in the
fall of 1910, just after the big saw mill
burned and it is expected that, as soon
as the present development at Veazie
is completed, work will be commenced
there. 1t is one of the finest water
powers on the Penobscot and one of
the oldest mill sites as well. The first
sGwmill at Basin Mills was built in
1888, and was carried away in the big
freshet of 1916. but was rebuilt. the
next year. The property has changed
hands several times. In 1862 it was
purchased by the late Gen. VeaZie,
and in 1870 by James Walker. After
running the mill for several years Mr..
Walker took his two sons into part
nership and the name of the concern
was changed to James Walker & co.
A few years after the death of Mr..
Walker. the firm was incorporated I'M
der the name of the James Walker Co.
During the days when Bangor was the
greatest lumber market in the world.
the Walker mill was the largest saw
mill inexistence. The sawmill was
burned in August, 1910, and the pres
ent lockwood mill was erected that
fall.
