The Commonwealth Shoe and
Leather Industry Returns
to Skowhegan

The citizens of Skowhe6an are TO
be congratulated on the return to
their town Of the Commonwealth Shoe
and Leather Company 1t Is one OF
the leading shoe firms of the United
States; it's reliability and financial
standing are beyond question.
An industry of this kind Is of in
estimable value to any town. 1t must
he pleasing to every citizen of Show
hogan to feel that the Commonwealth
Shoe and Leather Company finds in
this community a desirable location in
which to manufacture shoes.
The people should do all In their
power to make this permanent In
dustry. All should work together for
the highest good of those concerned,
employers, employees, and citizens or
the town. All industries are valuable
10 a town and the shoe industry
brings a very desirable class of citi-
zens. To make this industry succ-
ess. each person in the employ of the
concern should bring to his work the
best effort of hand and brain.
The best industries serve not only
themselves but also the workers Under
the guidance of this firm, Skowhegan
should become one of the best shoe
towns in Maine. If firm brings OF
its best to place, the place should
give of its best to the firm. Life Is q
mutual giving and receiving. People
seeking work and place to live can
find no cleaner. healthier, more up-to-
date, town than Skowhegan.
All will be pleased to learn that Mr..
w. S. Cobb, who was formerly fore
man of the stitching room, has re-
turned to occupy hi old position.
The more firms like the Common
wealth that can be brought to our
town, the greater the growth and pos
perity of the town.
This is n good beginning for the
New Year of 1913.

Hon. Edwin C. Burleigh for United
states Senator. The Lewiston piper
of discord no longer finds language of
a Mandatory character for the three
former leaders Verify. times have
changed.
The Progressive party has declared
itself opposed to the boss system. II
harped on Penrose, Barnes, and Gug-
genheim until the very heavens wept
in silent chagrln. And yet, say what
it's members may. there MAS no great
er boss anywhere within the four com
passes OF this great globe than Theo-
iore Roosevelt Closely in his foot
steps moved others. And among the
least OF these IS the rhythmically-alii-
teratiye editor of the Lewiston con
firm to the Progressive ideas advanced
by Editor Dingley -interpreted pr
cisely as he saw or sees them-he
might be sure of supplementary no
tees In the columns of the daily dis
turber of political peace, but let any
one differ, and calamitous howlings
and lambastings follow as surely as
night the day And all this is inter
preted By the ruling powers as the
peepul's rool."
Perhaps 1t Is.
This last act of the Progressive
State Committee In condemning some
of its strongest leaders for doing what
in their judgment they deemed wise
and good is simply an added indlca-
ton that the Progressive party Is
sounding its own death-knell. 1t come
into being on pretext; 1t will go
out In a-well. suppose we put that
conundrum up to the Secretary of the
Somerset County Progressive Con-
mittee.

Mrs. Lois (Waugh) Keefe.

The death of Mrs. Lois (Waugh)
ke6fe occurred Saturday morning at
the home of +. b. Curtis on West
Front street. after several years of
failing health. although she was only
confined to her room about three days.
Her death was principally due to the
infirmities of old age as she was SO
years old.
Mrs. keefe was born in Starks, but
for many years was a resident of So
Ion where her husband the late
Michael Keefe was engaged in the
tailoring business. Previous to Mr..
Keefe's death, however. the couple re-
moved to Skowhegan and made their
home with their daughter, Mrs. f. b.
Curtis. Her death during the past
year was unusually sad for the aged
parent as she was the last one in her
family of eight children, all the others
having previously died. This left her
with no relatives but she continu-
ed to reside with her son-in-low. In
her younger days and previous to
the Unlyersalist church being closed,
Mrs. Keefe was an attendant at the
services of that denomination.
The funeral obsequies were held at
the Curtis residence, Monday after
noon. The officiating minister was
Rev Theodore Halbert Wilson of the
Island Ave. Congregational church.

The Coming Chapman Concert.

The Waterville Sentinel of Tuesday
morning is loud in it's praise of the
Chapman Convert Co., which ap-
peared in that city the evening preyi-
Gus:
1t has been said that music is food
for the soul If so, those who failed
to attend the recital by the Chapman
artists in the opera house last eve
ing denied themselves a rare feast
Given a most cordial and hearty well
come by the music lovers of Water
Vile, Miss Florence Otis, Miss Sue
Winchell and Chevalier Salvatore
Giordano not only equalled but sur
passed any performance that has
been given here by any one of the
artists. 1t would be a difficult task
to pick the star. they were all 50
good J 1t the solos by Chevalier Gior-
dano and his duets with Miss Otis
elected unstinted applause from the
audience, and in fact in almost every
number of the program of II divis-
ions, the artists were obliged to rem
der an encore.
Perhaps the greatest ovation was
given to the famous Italian tenor,
Cheyaller Giordano, who has been a
star with the Metropolitan Opera
company of Philadelphia. Not only in
the Quaker City have the laurels of
his triumphs been confined, but in
almost every western city of note he
had a host OF admirers asd to his list
he added the people Of Waterville last
evening. His wonderfully appealing
tenor voice with its soft and gentle
meditation of the sweetest notes
filled the audience with an apprecia-
ton of the divine and mystic power
of music.
The people of Skowhegan have a
rare treat in store for them next
Monday evening. for Mr.. Chapman
will appear there with his artists af-
ter a short trip in the eastern section
of the state.

"All Is Not Gold that
Clitters"

In the first few months of the exist
ence of the Progressive party tie
members thereof discovered the de-
lights of membership in party that
had no history, but now that bit OF
history has been written and the party
adherents find themselves not wholly
In concord with one another's views,
party membership loses some Of its
charms.
During the last State election, three
of the most conspicuous men of the
Progressive party--were. Mr.. Hitch
born, of Augusta, long treasurer of
the Republican party, Mr.. Irving, Of
Aroostook. and Rev. II. e. Dunnack, of
Augusta, platform spell-binder.
These three men fought great battles
for the cause. They were lauded to
em->srean heights by the Lewiston
Evening Journal. They were hailed
by the rank and file OF Progressive
voters as the men who should blaze
the trail along which poor struggling
humanity was to wend Its toilsome
way.
Times have changed. The Lewiston
Evening Journal has changed. The at
titude of the State Committee of the
Progressive party has changed They
have all changed to a rank attack up
on the three men named, the reason
whereof being that these three men
