Justice Taft?
(Boston Advertiser.)

There is a general expectation, at
Washington, that ex-President Taft
Will be made a justice of the Supreme
Court There was a time when Mr..
Taft wanted to so on the Supreme
Bench. Whether he still wishes to do
SO, we do not profess to know. He
has given no intimation. to any of his
friends, of what he might do if the
offer were made to him. He enjoys
his present occupation, of lecturer.
He has made engagement with a large
number Of American colleges and uni
versities, outside of Yale. He has an
opportunity for broader and freer
expression of opinion than he could
have, as a justice of the Supreme
Court, and ne finds hearty and uni
versal welcome, wherever he goes
Nor is he likely ever to forget that,
when he could have gone on the SUI
preme Bench, he was dissuaded from
doing so by Theodore Roosevelt. and
that he. later was sacrificed to Mr..
Roosevelts insenate ambition for
power On the whole we do not feel
at all certain that Mr.. Taft has any
present keen desire to so on the bench.

An Easy Way to Get
Fat andBe Strong

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomachs OF
stuffing it with greasy foods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or following
some foolish physical culture stunt
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat. s-
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
tific discovery, it is now posslpie 10
combine into simple form the very eie-
ments needed by the digestive organs
to help them convert food into ricn'
fat-laden blood. This master-stroke
of modern chemistry Is called Sargol
and has been termed the greatest OF
flesh builders. Sargol aims through
it's re- generative, reconstructive pow
ers to coax the stomach and tntestines
to literally soak up the fattening eie-
ments of your food and pass them into
the blood, where they are carried to
every starved, broken-dow cell ana
tissue of your body. You can readily
picture the result when this amazing
transformation has taken place and
YOU notice how your cheeks fill out,
hollows about your neck, shoulders
and bust disappear and you take on
from 10 to 20 pounds of solid. healthy
flesh. Sargol is absolutely harmless
inexpensive, efficient. Bowditch-Web-
ster Co. and other leading druggists OF
Augusta and vicinity have it and Will
refund your money II you are not
satisfied, as per the guarantee found
in every package.
Caution: Sargol has given
excellent results In overcoming nerv-
Gus dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles it should not be taken by
those who do not wish to gain ten

has embittered many honest Republic
cans who were inclined to look with
favor upon the Armageddon claims.
1t is patent that not ALL the virtues
are tied up in the party and profess
sions of men who talk as does this
man Cummings, Editor Dingley of the
Lewiston Journal and Editor Singer
of the Damariscotta Herald Honest
Republicans know whether they are
themselves sincere In their professions
of progressive ideas in government.
That their faith is in the Republican
party as the most responsible and eff
fective means OF putting these pro-
gressive ideas into execution does not
establish these honest Republicans as
either fools or hypocrites and they are
becoming tired of being so designated
by self complacent Armageddonites,
of the type quoted elsewhere in this
issue.
We are confident, also, that the rank
and file of the Progressive party are
somewhat weary of being made to play
assistant Democrats, and of being tied
up with those who indulge in whole
sale abuse of any who cling to the old
Republican party.

Gold Robbery Near
 Dease Lake

placed on the pack horses the guide complained to MT. French Of tue pecularitie in the weight ot the box, but nothing was thought of it until camp was made that night when the box was opened and the robbery discovered. A runner was dispatched on to Telegraph to re- port the loss to the officials and that night Defossett disappeared and nothing further was seen of him by the party, but it is report ed that he appeared at an Indian camp the next day and secured 2 p rifle.
 Defossett IS a native of Belgium and is believed to be the man that worked in the saw mill here last year before going into that coun- try.
 This robbery shows the neces- sity of some kind of police patrol in that country, as at present there is none except the police at Tele- graph. This country is rapidly becoming one of the great gold producing sections and now is the time to apply for Mounted Police such as are in the Yukon Territory to protect the pack trains on their way from the mines to Telegraph, At present there is supposed to be at large in that part of the coun try, Siman Gunanoot, an old bad nan, who killed two men at Hazel ton about three years ago, and has been traced to that section where he is supposed to be living with the natives. From such men as these, and more will come if there are no police, some action should be taken by the British Columbia government to put the Mounted police in this district to preserve order and law.

 The gold belonged to Warbur- gon Pike and is believad to be the result of clean up of the dump which was in the way of future de- velopment and had to be moved According to the story Defossett had been working for Pike for the last summer and knew the gold was going out so quit his job and asked permission to accompany the party to Telegraph, Which was given and they started in but at the head of Dease Lake the party met MT.
