TOWNSHEND.
A PLEASING CONCERT.
Leland g. Gray Reunion Feature a
Success

The concert in the town hall Wed
nesday evening, which was the opening
feature of the reunion of the alumni
of Leland and Gray seminary, was a
success in every way. Edwin NJ. Whit
ney Of Boston, Il reader, gave the eve
ning's entertainment, and he was one
of the best entertainers that has ever
been in Townshend. Mr.. Whitney was
assisted by Mrs. Almon Wheelock, VIC
linist, Miss Alice Dale, soprano, and
Mrs. H. c. banner, accompanist. all of
whom are always heard with pleasure
by TOwnshend audiences. Mr.. Whit
ney opened the program with a story
by John Kendrick Bangs entitled The
Convert This was an interesting
sketch of young man who exchanged
position with Santa Claus, on New
York street. Parts of it were dramatic
but there was a good deal of humor
mixed in and it was very pleasing to
the listeners. This was followed by a
short selection in the Negro dialect
for an encore, after which Mrs. Wheel
lock gave a violin selection, accom-
panied by Mrs. banner. Mr.. Whit
ney's next number was an extremely
humorous sketch of a young bachelor,
deciding TO 20 TO propose, when he
received an announcement of the young
ladv's engagement and this was fol-
lowed by short selection in the Swed-
ish dialect as an encore. Miss Dale
then gave a solo and the third reading
was made up of two selections on Ora
tory, the first being Mr.. Dooley's opin-
ion on the subject and the second, a
small boys first recitation in school,
which brought the house down. Mrs.
Wheelock gave another violin solo and
the last number given by Mr.. Whitney
was a story by Grace Richmond, call
ed Christmas Day in the Morning. 1t
is a we'll written little story, and was
especially well given by the reader. In
closing this interesting entertainment
Mr.. Whitney gave few lines in re
gard to the spirit in which the read
ings should be taken. There was 8
large audience and all We're pleased
with the concert.

The Record quoted DR.. Henry c. God
dard, director of research of the Vine
land Training school as declaring that 70
per cent of the persons who habitualiy
become intoxicated are feeble minded
and that drunkenness can never be cured
until the problem is attacked from the
standpoint of feeble mindedness. The
writer went on to say that if the feeble
minded all over the state were put in
proper institutions there would be less
need of prohibitory liquor legislation
which is bound to be inefficient, as shown
by the fact that drunkenness continues
despite the present spasm of strict en-
Observation-Disclosures Record.
For once the editor of the Record
is half right. Il all the feeble minded
were in proper institutions an amazing
amount of this opposition to law. ant.
abuse of law to please the booze trust
would end coineidently; then we
should need less law and enforcement
OF the law would be a simple PROPOSE
ton. Meanwhile such as the Record go
on attacking it from the standpoint of
feeblemindedness.

Rocky Mountain National Park.

In common with most of the other ma
tional parks, the Rocky Mountain park
would soon become the breeding place
the mountain areas of Colorado. The
wild life of this mountain state which Is
now hunted from valley to peak ano
from peak to valley again, would soon
learn to find in the Rocky Mountain park
a haven of rest and security, a safe re-
treat from the murderous crack of the
dynamite gun; yet there would be no
fences around the park and the over
flow of game would furnish continual
supply to the surrounding territory,
where the hunter might take his toll OF
game. The Estes park region has been
a natural home of wild life-ol .-.e
Rocky Mountain bighorn the lordly elk,
blacktafl deer bear, beaver, and many
smaller four-foated friends-all of which
now may do so again i'll increasing num-
bers. In the early days it is said that
Lord Dunraven attempted to get pos
session of Estes park game pre-
serve. pronouncing 1t the finest natural
home of game animals he had ever seen
in all the world. A few bighorns still
remain as also deer, an occasional bear
are all gone. but the paris coud easily be
restocked from the great herds OF Jack
son Hole. Wy, when they would mutt
ply and flourish as of old-Reyiew OF

Evidence of Campaign.

(Fairheld Journal
1t is beginning to be clear that
there is a real fight on for the honor
of representing the Third Maine dis
trict in Congress. Our friends the
Democrats have attempted to make
light of the situation first saying
that with the opposition vote split be-
tween MIR. Peters and Mr.. Lawrence
it would be easy for Mr.. Pattangall.
However, they soon observed that 1t
is not to be split to any extent but to
be east for Mr.. Peters and now 1t is
astutely given out in the Democratic
press that Mr.. Pattangall is afraid of
the Progressive vote. II he was he
would be making light of it rather
than attempting to magnify IT. What
he is afraid of is the Peters vote ana
so we see the attempts to bolster up
the vote for the third candidate, for
that is what Mr.. Lawrence is. The
fight is between Mr.. Peters and Mr..
Pattangall and every keen political
observer in the district we'll realizes
that fact.
If Mr.. Peters did not represent the
best and most modern sentiments of
Republicanism he might easily lose q
great many votes within the party
but those are just what he does rep
resent and they are acceptable to the
great majority of the men who voted
for Theodore Roosevelt last fall. The
several municipal elections that have
been held in Maine this year, in many
of which third candidate was nomi-
mated, have demonstrated that the
most of the voters mentioned hold
themselves as Republicans and have
voted the Republican ticket. In most
of these elections the Progressive vote
was a very minor quantity.
