Very truly,
Edward VI. Lawrence.

The letter TO which Mr.. Lawrence
refers was received, July "a, and i'm
mediately answered. We asked Mr.
Lawrence for a statement which we
assured him we would gladly publish,
but he seems to have wished to ap-
proach it in a different manner. We
wrote Mr.. Lawrence on July "a that
the only reference was to com
mon report that you had said that as
a candidate you would make as strong
fight as any man could make; that
you would donate $4,000 for the
campaign. If such report is untrue
we should be glad indeed to publish a
statement from you setting the rumor
at rest
To our letter Of July "a we have
received no reply, unless the above
letter of July 18th can be considered
such.
The delay of which Mr.. Lawrence
complains is therefore not justly at
tributable to the Journal.
Now that Mr.. Lawrence has denied
the report over his signature, we have
no question of the truth of his state
ment We believe him to be an hon.
est and conscientious man. Our re-
ference we believe would naturally be
understood as to the new party going
after wealthy and generous man
rather than that Mr.. Lawrence haG
gone out bidding for job.

ing farce comedy is that MI 6ouiu
was right and fair play ala deiiitiiu
that his old nomination be returned
to him But the voters, IN the pres

that Mr.. Pattangall has fun leSai

The lines of the coming battles are

which has been honored by Blaine

t. he, GnGGGSS-

forward or the Democratic boss. Mr,
Peters represents the political senti-

Doubt about that. The admlnlstra-

acting legislation Of which a major
itv of the voters of that DISTRICT 90
not approve. The opportunity TO
voice this disapproval is given thehi'
land as reasonable men, interested IN
public affairs. there should be no
question about what their decision
should be.
Pitted against Mr. Peters is the
representative of the Underwood tar
if idea. If he is elected, the fact Will
be hailed everywhere as a triumph
for that idea. Unlimited financial
support will be back of the Demo-

also, the fight will be of unusuai sig

, The ant is busy with it's house,
| The bee is at its tree;
| And by its nest among the boughs
| The bird makes melody.
The day, reluctant still to leave,
sits crystal at its noon,
| Like some sweet girl, with naught 10

Signing a dreamy tune.
Oh. bark. my heart, and quit your quest
The song she signs is one of rest.
The butterfly is on its flower;
l. The wasp is at its clay;
The wind to brambe lane and bower
Whispers of yesterday.
The afternoon goes To its close,
With bright attendant states,
Like some calm queen who seeks repose
Behind her palace gates.
Oh. look, my heart. Your pining ceasei
That way, at last, you shall find peace.
The cricket thrills; the beetle booms;
The mole heaves at its mound:
Pale moths come forth like ghosts of
blooms:
The FREELY goes its round.
The eve puts off her gown of gold,
And for Il moment stands
Before her couch, lamp of old,
The new moon in her hands.
oh, heart go follow where it CLEANS,
And find again your world of dreams.
The life that wakes at dark comes out !;
The spider nimbly weaves,
The bat fits silently about;
The drowsN owlet grieves.
The night goes stealing to her tryst,
Breathing Il fragrant sigh:
One jewel from her starry wrist
Drops down the quiet sky.
Heart, let il be a sign to you
OF love behind the bending blue.

The reaction against the Industrial
Workers of the World seems to be
growing all over the country. among
wage earners. thinks the Boston Adver-
tiser. The collapse of the Ipswich
strike. owing to the fact that the lead
ers had pocketed the money tcoatribut-
ed for the support of the strikers) and
then decamped to other parts of the
country, leaving the strikers To starve,
or else to go back TO work, has made
an ugly impression around the country.
The proof is multiplying that many
prominent men in the /. w. w. have
been in the habit of "annexing' to
their own pockets the money contribut-
ed for the benefit of the strikers in
many other places. One of the promi-
nent /. w. w. men in this city was
asked IL he believed that form of rob-
berry defensible. His only reply was
that, if the money was contributed by
workers in sympathy with the 1. W. w
movement, he did not see that it was
any business of outsiders. That strikes
us as a pretty weak defense.

Third District Primaries.

With an assurance that John A. Pc
tiers of Ellis worth would undoubtedly
be the nominee of the Republicans on
the congressional ticket in the Third
district the Republican vote at the
primaries on Monday was small. Ii
does not indicate n lack of interest on
the part of the Republicans in the
coming election, but merely a conf
dence in the outcome of the primary
election which resulted in the failure
of many good party men from troub-
ling themselves to go to the polls. Mr..
Peters did absolutely ne work to Sc
cure the nomination or to get out n
large vote for himself. He did not
seek this nomination anyway, but was
urged To become a candidate and con-
scented To allow the use of his name.
His opponent Roy G. Haines. bright
young man of Ellsworth, former pri-
vate secretary for the late Congress-
man Goodwin. did make an effort IL
get out the vote and lie succeeded
surprisingly well. While Mr.. Peters
victory is a most decisive one. Mr.
Haines is nevertheless 10 be congratu-

New York is rapidly approaching a
famine of domestic servants. Employ
ment agencies find it impossible to
meet the demand for them. 1t is not so
much because women who are willing
TO work as servants are scarce as it
Is that so many of them are incompe-
tent. Every employment agency in
New York has more applications for
work from would be servants than it
can fill, but there is not an agency in
the city that would not place 100 per
cent more servants were the latter
competent to fill the places One class
OF employment agencies has ceased TO
exist since last year. These are the
agencies which got employment for
cattle attendants on the transatlantic
steamships Young college men who
wanted to work their way to Europe
often went as cattle tenders through
these agencies. Since October last, no
American livestock has been shipped
abroad, and consequently the occupa-
ton of the cattlemen is gone. The high
price of beef in the United States and
the fact that this country has lost
he European cattle export trade to
Argentina, explain the changed con-
ditions.

Senator Johnson's PitifuI Excuse.

Let me thank you heartily for your
great help in our fight for Paragraph
35. Your editorial was a fine frontal
attack, most effective. l sent it on to
MIR. Hornaday for his encouragement.
He writes in his last: Il do not care
how hard You and your friends remon-
strate with Senator Johnson and seek
to convert him from the error of his
ways. If he can think of one good
reason for his surrender to the MILL
merry trade, his inventive genius goes
far Beyond mine. The alacrity with
which the Senate finance committee has
obeyed the behests of the milliners on
four different occasions,-eaeh time
surrendering more and more to the mil
Eners,-is. to say the least, amazing"
!, and others in this vicinity, have
received reply, substantially the
same in all cases, from Senator john
son exculpating himself on the score
that Germany demanded concessions,
ella inning that it was an unjust COM
,nercial discrimination to exclude from
this country birds which can be legal
ly slaughtered in the country OF theiI
habitat. But we have to note that
Germany was not singled out from 9TH

commercial preference given TO any
rival. If Germany were able to force an
entrance with her goods she would not

A Logging School.

Here is another problem for Dingley
to set right. OF course it is a Pen
rose, or n Bailey, or a Hale, or a Some
Other Fe!ler evil. but which one?
In an effort to establish the profess
sion of logging engineering and to Sc
cnre chairs of logging engineering in
Western colleges, several hundred Ium-
bermen will meet in Spokane Septem-
Der "A to &c for the sessions of the Fa-
ciic Logging congress. The steady in
crease of the cost of logging, due to
banks of streams and the disappear
ance of accessible bodies, has compelled
lumber operators of Washington, Idaho
Montana, Oregon, California and Brit
ish Columbia TO direct their lest eff
forts to the logging problems. The Pa
cific Logging congress has been organ
lied to study the work on a broad
plan. At the fifth annual session in
Spokane this fall the principal object
will be 10 create public sentiment fav-
oring logging engineering courses IN
the colleges. Many lumbermen favor
endowing a college especially for this
purpose.

Probably the oldest soldier in Maine
# not the United States, William {.
McRaw, held his Gath birthday party,
recently in Blaine. Uncle" Clark, as
he is Familiarity known, was born in
the Parish of Lincoln, n. B.. 1919. He
was member of the 142nd n. Y.
regiment and was wounded in battle.
Although suffering with chronic dis
eases he is still active and rides out
every fine day, and his mind is as
clear as ever. He enjoys reading and
is able to converse intelligently on all
topics of today, keeping posted far
better than the average person. Mr..
McRaw was mustered out at Raleigh,
" c., in June, 1865, and received
special notice for faithful service in
the great war. OF late years he has
lived quiet life on his farm in

Just at this part OF the sardine
canning season when most of the
packers are eager to take a full sup
ply of the fish from weir owners and
boatmen there is somewhat of scare
ity in the catches and not many
schools of herring have been gathered
up about Passamaquoddy Bay" says
the Ossipee Valley Herald. There
seems no reason for the present scar
, city of fish in this section, for con-
ditions have been favorable for some
time past, the obnoxious dogfish have
, not put in their appearance along
the Eastern Maine coast, a whale is
a rarity in this section and the cod,
pollock and other kinds of fish that
prey en- herring have not been as
plentiful as customary during the
summer months. Not all the sardine
factories in this part of Washington
County have been open this season
and there are some that have been
working on broken time for some
time past, so that the lack of fish
cannot be accounted for satisfactorily
by the veteran fishermen of Quoddy
Most packers are now willing to take
all the herring that can be bought and
there is again a big demand for the
packed products in the Western part
of the Country and prices are some
what higher than a few weeks age
when not as much enthusiasm was
/ taken by the Eastern Maine Gamers
There are yet four months Of the can
, ming season left and plenty of time
to pack the usual number of cases

has been for years prominent in Port

gent, formerly an attorney in this city,
andwell known, has been found by a
rancher in the famous Robert Ray
Hamilton Lodge on Jackson Lake,
Wyo., built by the Inflated Hamilton,
friend of Sargent, in 1890, at cost
or half million. Sargent's is the
third death which has taken place in
the remote chalet. 40 or more miles
from civilization, and forms part of a
triple tragedy, the romantic as well
as the grim and terrible features of
which are almost without parallel
News travels slowly in the Jackson
Lake wilderness. and the news OF
Sargents death has just reached the
East. Sargent shot himself in the
head with revolver. On a table be-
side him We're found two letters, one
addressed to Sargent's second wife in
California, the other to a daughter in
New York City. The body was bur-
led on the side of the lake near that
of the greatgrandson of Alexander
Hamilton, of whose death Sargent
has been accused. Sargent was also
implicated in the death of his wife, a
Maine girl.
