monuments on the Gettysburg battle
field were badly damaged last night by a

monuments which suffered were the

The consensus of opinion seems to be
that President Wilson's inaugural ad-
dress is literary production, excellent
A tere ard treatment, but indefinite as
sfne policy of the administration and with
RIO remedies suggested for the evils it de-
plores 1t is more of an essay or SER
mon than the proclamation of the chief
executive Of a great nation. AS free
trader by birth and association the Presi-
dent is most definite in referring to the
asarif as chief of the iniquities and crimes
Of a benighted system, and he also
blsmes our money system and ourwaste-
4nlness as nation; but suggests no
remedies. But the message is SO brief
that every one may read it and form
their own conclusions. AS to the new
cabinet, seven of the eight members are
regarded as promising well; but Mr..
B ryan, who sits at the head Of the table,
is not looked upon as a safe leader for
hi s party or for the country.

Woman suffrage will come. some time,
but has been deferred in Maine by the
Democrats in the Legislature. The suf-
frage problem is difficult one to solve.
In many places. we might say in most
places, the property owners are out
voted by men who have no vested irter-
est in the town or city, a considerable
percentage having no permanent dwell
ing place. Many an election is carried
by these. ''foaters" To certain ex-
tent this is the fault of what is termed
the stay at-home vote men who do not
attend the caucuses or go to the polls,
but who lament in public and private
over much that might have been pre-
vented had they performed their duty as
woman suffrage this stay at-home vote
will be increased, and in greater ratio
than with the men. Many women not
only do not want suffrage but are active
ly opposed to it, Others want it merely
for the admission that they are on an
equality with men, and theywould not ex-
ercise the right of suffrage if it was con-
ferred upon them. Conditions might
thus become worse than at present. But
when woman suffrage comes, as it sure
" will, let US hope that it may prove
panacea for the political ills from which
we are now suff ering; that the advent of
the gentler sex in the political arena will
nut an end to much that is now discredit-
able and lead to better things.
II hardly seems credible that President
Wilson could ever have seriously consid-
cred giving Obadiah Gardner seat in
his cabinet; but Gardner evidently ex-
pected it, and was not so cheerful loser
as Taft. A Washington special to the
New York sun on the cabinet selections
saws: The hottest man at the capital
was Obadiah Gardner. He told one OF
MS friends that he had lost his seat in
the Senate because he had devoted him
self to the political fortunes Of Governor
Wilson to the neglect Of his own candi-
dacy.'" Considering the fact that Gard
ner neglected his duties at Washington
and was in Maine working in his own be
half from the beginning 20 the end of
the canpaign. and was lobbying al Au-
gusta Until the legislature had elected
his successor, lis neglect Of his own
candidacy" is NOT apparent. The truth
is that neither New England nor the
country at large regarded him as of cab
inet size and did regard him as beyond
his depth in the Senate. However, it is
said that several Senators felt called up
on to communicate to President Wilson
Gardeners state of mind, and it was
given out at Washington last Friday that
he is to have an important official
place under the new administration.
The day before he had called at the
White House, presumably by invitation,
and a Washington special to the Bangor
Commercial says:
His visit to the White House Thursday
forenoon was little later than the hour
appointed and he arrived there just be-
fore the cabinet was assembling. Ac-
cordingly he had only a brief conversa-
ton with President Wilson, during
which nothing was said about office

The Sense in CurSing.

Two men entered a train at small
station out west and took seats fac
ing an elderly man. They fell to
telling hunting stories, with great
animation and many oaths.
Noticing that tie old man was an
Interested listener, one of the men
spoke to him aud asked whether he
too, were not a hunter, with story
or TWO worth hearing4
The Old nan thought he could tell
che and his is Wat he said:
Zone day I thought l would go
hunting; so l took my tin pan tinder
box gun and went up into tin pan
tinder box woods on the side of tin
pan tinder box mountain, and 1 wait
ed a tin pan tinder box long time;
and then l saw a tin pan tinder box
fine buck coming toward me, so l
put my old tin pan tinder box gun to
my shoulder and fired And that tin
pan tinder box buck fell right in its
tin pan tinder box tracks; and it was
the finest tin pan tinder box buck
l ever killed After pause he said,
"How do you like my story?"
ooh, the story is all right but
don't see what all that tin pan tinder
box has to do with it,
"Well," replied the old man, that
is just my way of swearing"
81 don't see much sense in swear
ing that way" said the other, with
manifest disgust
To which the old man responded:
"There is as much sense in my way
of swearing as there is in yours,
young man."-Youth's Companion.
