Caribou correspondent of Bangor
News: There was an attempt made by
some party or parties to wreck the
night train Tuesday, while at the sta
ton. The train had arrived on scheo-
ule time, and when standing in the
yard some enc placed fiatiron along
the guides. When the engine started
ND, of course, there was crash, ana
the guides were stripped" The en-
gineer stopped, investigated, found Out
what the trouble was, but concluded he
could make the rest of his run to van
Buren,, which he did. The fiatiron was
found some rods from where the en-
CINE was standing, and may be the
means of affording a clue as to who
Iperpretated the dastardly deed. Such
acts of wantonness and vandalism are
frowned upon by all law abiding citi-
zens, and all hope the guilty parties
may be apprehended and brought to
trial. The loss and damage to proper
ty is nothing compared to the leopard
ing of human life.

There is some talk of a trotting park
for Caribou, says the Caribou corre-
spondent of the Bangor News-and
why not? This town is the largest IN
the northern part of the county, has
almost every other attraction but a
trotting park Pressure Isle, Fort Fair
field and Ashland are all thus favored.
and it would seem as if the time We're
ripe for Caribou to fall into line in
this direction. This town is badly
handicapped in the way of holding Gel
ebrations, fairs, athletic meets, horse
racing, etc, by not having suitable
park. Once established there is but lit
tie doubt that the town would afford
abundant patronage, as we nave
large rural district from which TO
draw. The town already has what is
known as league Park, and the propo-
sition now is to purchase few acres,
the necessary amount, from Frank RI
lev, and unite the two. To do TINS

all hope the movement may be success

And the moss covered rocks still mere,
The faint water lily sweetly nils
And perfumes the morning air.

Ger the locust shaded ground.

Still play upon the hill,

Close by the running mill.
Sweet do they sound their joyous voice
Till they have had their flll.

And smell their faint perfume;

And listen to the precipice boom.

Hampshire Review, which disaerees with
Site Senator hump in his vote on the
Woman's Suffrage Amendment. Senator
Hump helped TO kill the amendment
which passed the House oil Delegates BY
an overwhelming majority and tailed in
the Senate for lack of four votes. He
voted against il and made aspeech against
il IN which he declared that the women
OF this section OF the State do not want 10
vote.
II may be true that there may be many
women who have no such desire, and yet
we are quite certain that there are lots OF
them who do. We recall that our Sena-
tors very emphatically declared not so
very long ago that the people of this dis
trict did not want 10 vote on the prohlbl-
ton amendment, but we also notice that
when they finally had chance they ex-
pressed themselves in no uncertain way
and they utterly repudiated what their
representatives had SAID.
We set it down as principle that the
people OF this district, at least. have a
right TO vote on every question that our
Senators or Delegates feel at liberty to
vote on.

FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The cause of woman suffrage in the
United States received a great forward
impetus by the demonstration in Wash
ington last Monday. The earnest and
enthusiastic women who are at the head
OF this movement had at much expense
and labor arranged for great procession
along Pennsylvania avenue TO bring their
cause to the attention of the hundreds OF
thousands OF people who were in Wash
ington for the inaugural ceremonies. II
was a beautiful parade, but was sadly
maned by The idlolic inefllciency OF the
Washington police, who permitted the
spectators to impede the procession at
almost every step and made no effort to
protect the women from the rudeneSS
and annoyance Of the hoodumS who had
gathered along the line OF march. Com
posed of beautiful girls and digniiied
women, many OF them OF national repu-
talon, in handsome costumes and repre-
Senting impressive sentiments, this pro-
cession was planned to be notable event
IN the woman suffrage cause and spec
tacle OF exceeding beauty. The scandal
Gus failure OF the police to protect those
who participated in ii caused the great
est indignation in the city, and many
persons who were Indifferent as 10 the
principles involved have now become
strong psrtiSanS OF the cause. The in
nate feeling OF the average American is
tar fair play, and because the woman
tailed 10 receive fair treatment thousands
Of men have gone to their support.
A great many persons have mistaken
ideas concerning the woman suffrage
movement. The good women who are
at its head are not irrational, frivolous
persons seeking passing notoriety-on the
contrary, they are brave, noble, high
minded women who are seriously in earn
est because of their deep interest in
great principle. The very flower OF
American womanhood is represented in
the cause. II is not only determination
to secure votes for women-it is strug-
gle for other rights and privileges that the
women ought to have and for recognition
that will enable them TO do greater ser
vice in the world for humanity and for
the uplift OF all the people. 1t is thing
to be no longer sneered at or laughed
aside-those who fail to see that it is
cause worthy Of serious consideration are
writing themselves as narrow and lacking
in diScernment.
The Register hereby announces its
conversion to the cause OF woman SUI
frage, and we shall stay in the fight until
the very end.

JUST as had been expected of him,
President Taft last Friday vetoed the
Webb bill passed by overwhelming ma
jorities by both houses of Congress, the
object OF which was TO prevent the ship
ment OF liquor into "dry" territory from
"wet" States. He disapproved the meas
ure on the ground that il was unconsti-
tutional, and although he was importuned
by the temperance people 10 let this
question be decided by the Supreme
Court, he stubbornly refused to give his
sanction to the bill. II was pointed out
to him that many OF the ablest lawyers in
Congress were satisfied that the bill was
constitutional, and the fact was shown
that it was earnestly favored by millions
ofpeople inthiS country. Nothing moved
him, however, and his action gave good
ground for the belief that he had given
his ear to the whiSkey interests OF Gin
cinnati, to which he had often listened
heretofore.
Last Friday he vetoed the bill and re-
turned il TO Congress. Within two hours
the Senate showed its contempt for his
opinion by passing it over his veto by a
vote of 63to2l. Saturday the House took
up the measure, and after forty minutes Of
debate passed it again by vote OF 244 TO
95-much more tran The two-thirdS ma
iority necessary TO override his veto.
The Christian people of this country are
happy over the passage ofthis bill. which
now becomes law, and though il still!
has to run the gauntlet OF the Supreme
Court, we believe that so eminenty a
just and proper measure is absolutely
certain to be enforced sooner or later.
