When the 18th Maine Regiment as
sembled at Gettysburg, last summer
lat the 50th anniversary of the battle,
chaplain George Palmer was instruct
ed to draw up resolutions BETTING the
occa sion and to present them at the
reunion to be held at Waterville, in
September. These resolutions which
were drawn up and presented at the
business meeting of the Association by
read as follows:
Since last we met for our own half
century anniversary, we have been
called to Gettysburg for large re-
union that attracted the attention of
the whole country and many peoples
beyond. There are elements combin-
ing that make this assemblage unlike
anything recorded in history Gettys-
burg is the greatest monumental bat
tlefield in the world. This battle stands
for crisis in a country that holds
a conspicuous place among the ma
tions of the world; and hence were
reconciled as brothers under the Stars
and Stripes the representatives of the
two mighty contending armies. who,
$50 years ago. with the same deter
mined purpose and illustrious valor,
fought for victory. The general gov
eminent and the several states made
generous preparations for this meet
ing of the veterans and the people
were moved by spontaneous respon-
sive spirit to pay tribute to our coun-
try's defenders. AS we gathered neal
the regimental monument of the 18th
Maine, filled with memories of ouI
fallen comrades the surprising expert
ences of war, our own wonderful pre-
seryations, and reflected upon the eff
feet of this struggle and the final vic
tory upon our country's destiny, we
were deeply moved and we trust bet
ter fitted to employ in largest meas
ure the opportunities of the brief tins
remaining for us in our earthly war
fare.

PURE SHOE" BILL.
Regarded as Useless and Freak Lcgis-
latiOn.

1.-The legislature is forcing the peo-
pie to pay fifty cents or d dollar more
for Shoes" declared w. E. Brelsford
of the Payne Shoe company to State
Journal reporter. He was discussing
the bill which was introduced by Sena-
tor Simpson of Mcpherson providing
that shoes be made entirely of leather;
the measure has passed the senate and
, is before the house.
It's going to increase the much ex-
plotted high cost of living; con
tinued Mr. Brelsford, warmly Its
going to increase the price of what
has become practically a vital neces-
sity. 1t is an absolutely unnecessary
| bill because every factory in the
United States is trying to build the
best possible shoe for the least possible
cost
The population of the United States
has increased 20fo in the last ten
years, and the supply of leather has
decreased 100, making a deficit of
500. 1t is necessary for the factory
to find substitute for leather-but
no substitute is used where there is
any wear at all
For instance. the heel is part imi-
tatiOn leather The three top lifts
where the heel wears is of solid leath-
er. To make it all of leather would
necessarily increase the cost twenty
five cents. The insole of the shoe is
made of a fibre inSOle. 1t decreases
the cost of the shoe ten cents pair.
The counters are made of d fibre ab-
sOlutely guaranteed to give twice the
service of a leather counter at a less
cost of ten cents per pair. The box
! ings are made of a com bination that
is guaranteed never to break down.
and that saves the consumer about y
cents. These four items, therefore,
would increase the cost of shoe
more than fifty cents a pair. The
price would be greater-and the wear
less. The hide of the animal varies
in its texture and weight. Simply be-
cause it is leather is no reason for it's
durability.
THE bill clearly states that the sole of
the shoe must be stamped with metal
dye the name of all substitutes used in
the shoe This alone would injure the
wear of the shoe one-half the length of its
life
1t is also declared that the best IS shoe
made today would not come near to
filling the requirements of the pure shoe
law" as some of the cheaper IS shoes. 1t
is said further that the original for the
pure shoe" bills now abroad in the land
was written by the employee of certain
shoe house.
