BURGDERFER


If B~urgderfer had nothing to Exhib-
it except his Name and his Mug he
would be a Brilliant Success. But he
has a few other things. For example
he has Wigs Bizarre and Costumes

Enough he also has a Message (Which
may be considered) Unusual for a

Here's Law for You.

That the entire lack of money and
property law may occasionally prove to
be a real advantage even in that city
in which the possession of a goodly
share of means is often reckoned as a
most important requisite was illustrat-
ed in a unique manner in New York
last week. This queer state of affairs
developed as the result of the arrest
of a chauffeur for driving ear at ex-
cessive speed while he was intoxicated,
endangering the lives of nearly enc
hundred persons before he was gather
ed in by q policeman.
At his trial he was convicted and
sentenced by the Judge to a year in the

only of fine. Upon coming before the
lower court again he was therefore

The Disappointed Ones.

The Democratic press is now venting
its wrath because its scheme to betray
the primaries and capture the organi-
cation of the Legislature and the State
offices, has. failed With the aid of the
Lewiston Journal they have succeeded
in disgusting the folks. and have not
had the slightest effect upon the con-
victions or acts of a single Hian nomi :
mated in the June primaries and elect
ed to the Legislature in September as
a Republican, nv
The honesty and stability of the aV-
erage man elected to the Maine Legis-
lature can be banked upon. and count
ing thus upon Maine character it was
safe to figure, weeks ago. upon the re-
suit of last weeks caucuses. To a
man wholly blinded by dishonest de-
sire or spurred on by party hope and
lash, this attribute of the men OF
Maine might be forgotten. Editor
Dingley seems never to have heard of
this gift of common honesty; if he has
heard of it he evidently did not know
what it was or what it meant.
The other Democratic papers are
simply disappointed.

The Recall Of Judges and of Editors

Two editors and an newspaper owner
in Idaho are fined each $500, and ordered
to go TO Jail each for 10 days, for criti-
ciz.ng the court which ruled the Pro
gressive party electors off the Idaho
presidential ballot. And one of these
editors is particularly offensive TO the
sharp criticism of ex-President Roosevelt
ON this outrageous perversion of judicial
power, in a state where the war between
laboristie and eapitalistic trusts has
reached the point of civil war. There
will be a popular subscription to pay
these fines. The Imprisonment OF these
editors for technical offense, reminds
us of the Imprisonment OF the anu
slavery heroes. which preceded the great
agitations that ended in progressive po-
iitical organization, and in the elevation
of LINCOLN TO the presidential chair. me

The FLAG and the Law.

A petition has been filed at the Mas
sachusetts State House by a local Of
ticer of the Grand Army for legislation
to forbid the carrying in parades OF
any flag but the American colors and
flags denoting the nativity OF the pa
raiders, the latter to follow ten feet in
the rear of Old Glory.
There is timeliness in this sugges-
ton. Recent events have made il
clear that Massachusetts needs such q
law. SO do other States. New York
which recently witnessed big parade
in which only the red flag was carried
the Stars and Stripes being deliberate
ly excluded. needs it even more.
IT may be impossible to inculcate love
for the flag by legislative enactment

work must be entrusted to other agen-
eies. But it is possible and entirely

All three have been before the pub

known, not only in their home county
but all over Maine.
Hon. Albert A. Burleigh has had a
long public career. He has been col
leetor of customs of the Aroostook dis
trict twice, 1SS1-1SS5 and 1SS9-1S93 and
county commissioner 1S70-1SS1 and 1887
1890. In 1890 he was the first to pro-
pose that the county of Aroostook aid
in building railroad into this county
and first addressed the Pomona grange
at Caribou in favor of the road. This
ultimately resulted in the county vot-
ing 100000 in aid of the Bangor &
Areostook of which Mr.. Burleigh was
president from 1891 TO 1900. He was
State senator for two terms 1901-1903,
and has held numerous town offices.
Mr. Burleigh will be one of the very
few G.. A. r. veterans in the legisla-
ture. He enlisted in the LIST District
of Columbia Cavalry. was transferred
to the First Maine Cavalry and was Sc
verely wounded at Staunton River
bridge, Virginia, June 25, 1864, taken
prisoner and confined at Petersburg
and in the Libby prison annex at
Richmond. 1t is worthy of note that
in two elections Mr.. Burleigh was the
III id 70
and that he has almost without eXcep-
ton been ahead of his ticket.
Hon. Carl F. Milliken of Island Falls,
who will be president of the Senate in
the 10th legislature has brilliant rec
ord, being elected to the legislature
with no opposition in 1895 then being
q years old and returned every session
since, now entering upon his fifth con-
secutive term. Mr. Milliken was born
in Pittsfield, graduated from Cony
high school, Augusta, in 1898, and from
Bates College in 1897. He was promi-
nent while in college in scholarship, in
literary work. and in debating and was
