The Difference.

L. J. Simpson, Maine Central freight
conductor: William Ross, a coal driver,
and Archie Costigan, employed by the
Gas Company. were before the municipal
court at Bangor Tuesday morning,
charged with breaking and entering a
storehouse on Pleasant street and the
larceny of 20 gallons of whiskey and
three barrels of beer. The complaint al
leges that the liquor was the property
of Thomas P. McAloon. proprietor of
hotel in East Market Square. The police
said that they found some of the stolen
property in Simpsons house and also
in a hay shed where Ross is employed.
The men pleaded guilty and were bound
over to the supreme court under $1,000
bonds Simpson and Costigan went to
Jail in default. All three men are we'll
known and of previous good reputation.

1t IS an awful thing to STEAL rum,
because stealing is violation of the law
and besides it might have defeated
many SALES of rum, which is also in
violation of the law. but which latter
violation has a strong Democratic
propaganda behind 1t.

All Pull Together.

The Develop Maine movement is
in receipt of a request for information
regarding Maine lands from an invest
ment standpoint This request comes
from parties in a large city Of the
Middle West and indicates that the
writer has reached the conclusion that
Maine will be the next state to expert
ence a business boom. Members Of the
movement who want to get in touch
with his address.
This request is significant because 1t
is tangible evidence that the gossip of
travelling men is worth cultivating. We
should give them something to talk
about For several years travelling
men through the Middle West have
been bombarded with questions about
the possibilities in Maine. The cam
paign which followed the resubmis-
sion of the prohibitory amendment to
the constitution Of the State, focused
the attention of the whole country on
Maine for several months. The whole
country was taking sides and talking
about it.
A special election Of a member Of
congress, which brought the biggest
politicians of all three parties into the
State year ago revived interest in
the State. 1t was talked about again.
Vermont has changed to a November
State" so that Maine will be the only
State in the Union from which the rest
of the country can get line on what
is likely to happen in the congressional
elections. Maine men visiting in other
parts of the country hear a great deal
about their home State on account of
it,
All this serves to advertise the State.
After talking politics men talk about
business and business prospects ard
opportunities. These three events have
been worth and will be worth many
thousands of dollars to Maine from the
standpoint of advertising alone, II the
people are organized to take advan-
tage of it
The Develop Maine movement offers
the only agency for getting the value
out of this general advertising when 1t
bears fruit in the shape of inquiries.
Every property owner, merchant, man
ufacturer and business man, as well
as professional man and wage Garner
should invest one dollar and become
a member Of this movement in order,
not only to enjoy it's advantages per-
sonally. but also to help improve busi-
ness conditions in the State.

One hundred and sixteen years
ago today the United States Ma
rine Corps came into existence by
act of Congress. This act marked
the reincarnation OF that gallant
body Of Continental Marines who
won the first fight in the history
of the regular navy on the island
of New Providence in the Bahamas
at the beginning of the American
Revolution. They fought the Brit
ish tars all through the war, man
ming the Long Toms" which
poured frightful broadsides, while
the American soldiers handled the
sails of the privateers. When
peace came, they, like all other
branches of military service, were
retired by the Continental Con-
gress. The modern marines took
their places when war with France
threatened the United States in
1898. The act establishing the
corps provided for 720 privates,
129 officers and 80 drummers and
fife players. Clad in uniforms
similar to those of land soldiers,
they roved the seas in all parts of
the earth. They supported the
flag in the War with TripoH.
They fought CALAMITY in the War
of 1912, and waged war against
the Mexicans both aboardship and
as a part of the land army under
General Scott. They won gallant
distinction on land and sea in fhe
American Civil War.
