company was ready to pay reasonable
land damages. But at the hearings no
one appeared, from Belfast in behalf of
this road and there was opposition from
one or two who wanted eXtortionate land
damages. From present indications this
road, which would have added materially
to our transportation facilities, will never
be built.
There is a misrepresentation in the
minds of some people as to the purpose
of the hearings at Augusta last Friday
on the three proposed highways from
that city. Il was not question as to
which one of these highways shall be
built but as to the route they shall fol-
low; whether the one indicated by the
State Highway commission or some other
favored by the towns interested All
three of these highways are to be built,
and the one for which the most need is
shown will no doubt be built first. Those
at the hearing think the chances are in
favor of the Augusta to Belfast high
way. As to the route, while some advo-
Gated changes the majority apparently
favor the route proposed by the commits

have never been stronger. Suppose the other
planets are inhabited have they our wealth

learned that charcoal and saltpeter will des-
troy thousands? In our world these are every

such knowledge. however scientific, better be
exchanged for decent morality? Jesus was

pride, cannot see that which is near at

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of he mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When the tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

In referring recently to President viii
sons Mexican policy-or lack of one
his failure to protect Americans in that
country was contrasted with the policy
OF Great Britain, who protects the life
and property OF her subjects wherever
they may be. In this connection the
Pennington Chronicle says:
The nation which does not reasonably
protect the lives and property Of its citi-
zens is not worthy of respect. A few
months ago the number of American
citizens in Mexico was estimated at 49,
900 to 10000. American property was
valued at over $500, 10000, 900. American
nropertv has been destroyed and Amer
lean lives sacrificed, but our government
merely advises our citizens to get out OF
there as soon as possible. This is not
consistent with the dignity and prestige
of a great nation.
Since this was written and published
orders have been issued from Washington
10 Rear Admiral Fletcher, commanding
the American feet on the east coast OF
Mexico. to take such steps as may be
necessary to protect foreign ives and
property, this having special reference
to threats of the Constitution alists to
DESTROY the tanks of British oil interests,
On the other hand it will be remembered
that Americans were ordered to leave
Mexico, abandoning their property ano
business interests, and according to one
estimate. about two hundred Americans
h ave been reported killed up to the mid
die of October, and American propert!
destroyed amounting to two hundred
millions. This solicitude for Brit
ish lives and property in Mexico il
of course due to the fact that If Thu
country does not protect them Urea
Britain will, and we should have arme'
Intervention without delay.
