He spoke in part as follows:
Prohibition.
Our Democratic friends in this cam
paign are waging a fercer war than ever
on the cause of prohibition. They are
making me the center of attack. 1 care
nothing whatever about it, except as it
affects the cause. This misrepresenta-
tions about the question in general, and
falsehoods about me, l believe are too
well understood by the people to have
much effect in the campaign. The people
of Maine want something besides preju-
dice. falsehood and hatred to vote upon.
The origin of these things is too near my
home for me not to understand the total
responsibility of the agencies setting
them in motion, but there are some
things in this campaign that the people
should understand. The claim is made
on the one hand to those who are inter-
ested in the liquor traffic in one way or
another that l have tried to have the
prohibitory law enforced which initiates
against their business. In another breath
an appeal is made to the temperance peo-
pie of the State that have not had the
prohibitory law as well enforced as l
should have had it, thus hoping to weak
en- their faith in me in this question.
Now, / don't claim that the enforcement
of the prohibitory law is perfect. There
are very few perfect things in this world,
but 1t is a great deal better than l have
ever known it in my lifetime in the State
as whole. / submit this statement for
approval or disapproval with the honest
travelling man unprejudiced by political
considerations and unbiased by desire of
party success. To those who go about
the State and have a chance to see the
splendid condition of sobriety among our
people, and the little evidence in any To-
cality of the sale or use of intoxicating
ernor, no one will deny that we had most
fragrant and wilful notification, support

Guiding the most of the Democratic
sheriffs, also some Republican sheriffs,

that conditions are radically improved in
those places where they were the worst
in 1912 We did not get to work on this
proposition until after the adjournment
of the Legislature in April. Hence the

The British and French forces north and
east of Paris have had further successes
against the German invaders, according to the
official bulletin issued today, while in Galicia the
Russians continue with considerable success
their attempt to envelop and defeat the Austri-
an army of 100000 men under Gen. Auffenberg.
For the moment at least, interest centers
in the campaign in France, for it is felt that the
battle proceeding there is the first real crisis of
the war.
The allies, according to publication issued
by the French war Office have successfully re-
pulsed an attempt Of the Germans to penetrate
their left center between re-Champenoise
and Vitry LIE Francois, where the roads and
railways are more suited to the French move
ments than they would have been further north.
In fact it is believed Gen. Joffre purposely
fell back from Chalons so that he could choose
ground more favorable for his army for either
defensive or offensive operations. In this he
seems to have been justified for not only was
the German attack repulsed, but at Vitry LIE
Francois the Germans actually lost ground.
This has been the scene of the heaviest
fighting of the present battle for on the Ger
man right, which the Allies seem to have round
Ied Gen. Kluck is falling back before the for
ward movement of the French and Brit
Iish forces toward the Marine between Meux and
Sesame.
There have been many rumors of re-
Inducements having been sent this army of the
Allies. Some of the rumors are to the effect that
Russian troops actually have joined it and 9TH
ers that the Indian troops took part in the fight
ing. These rumors, however, remain without
confirmation.
The French are still holding below the Lor-
Iraine frontier and have according to the war Of
flee repulsed an attack made by the Germans
on the line between Nancy and Chateau Salins.
In Alsace there has been long respite from
serious fighting. This is due in the opinion of
military experts to the withdrawal of the Ger
mans who were needed for the west and prob
ably to the return to Austria of troops sent to

WORD IMPRESSED THE JURY
Clever Use Of Scientific Term Re.
suited In Acquittal Of
Lawyers Client.

The case was one of assault and
battery, and one OF the witnesses was
a local doctor whom the prosecuting
lawyer proceeded to bully, suggesting
that he was prejudiced in favor of
the defendant, and had wilfully dis.
torted his evidence in his favor.
The doctor denied this, and went on
to say that the defendant was suf-
fering from "phalacrosis." The word
caused a sensation in court, and,
asked to define the disease, the doc.
tor described it as "a sort of chronic
disease of an infammatory nature
which affects certain cranial tissues"
Asked If it affected the mind, the
doctor said he was not posing as an
expert, but he had known some per
sons when suffering from the disease
become raving maniacs, and Others
merely foolish. Some showed de,
structive and pugilistic tendencies,
while many others had suffered fol-
years and had never shown any men
tai abnormalities.
He refused to say anything further,
and the jury promptly acquitted the
accused, because, as the foreman ex-
planned, DOC said there was some
thing the matter with his head"

mysterious disease, and found that

After being dried in heaps, it is

potash, in which 1t is very rich, are
absorbed into the soil, and produce
wonderful crops. New potatoes from

Cornwall, are raised with seaweed

INTEND BUILDINGS TO LAST
Writer Decries Habit Of Putting Up
Temporary Structures to Serve
OF the Farm.

AS n looks back over his life on
the farm he is dismayed to see how
much of 1t has boen spent in doing
things that are temporary; that must
be done over and over again. For ever
he is repairing fences or buildings: al
ways there haunts nim the knowledge
that foundations are giving way. walls
bullying and roofs leaking.
The tax on maintenance n the farm
is too large, and now is the time to be-
gin to correct this evil. the Breeders
Gazette says. For the sake of u
remaining years on the farm. for the
sake of the boys who will come after
us, let us build for permanence, so far
as we are able. Concrete makes i'm
perishable foundations and floors. 1t
makes cheap walls for the lower
stories Of farm buildings. Concrete
fence posts should last a hundred
years. Roofs of tile slate or galvan-
lied iron are fairly im~perishable.
In Europe the farmer inherits much
more than his land; he inherits build
ings SO well constructed that while
they are hundreds of years old they
will yet endure indefinitely. The farm
or adds a shed or Two; he bequeaths
then to his son an quipment that is
comprehensive, useldl and needs no
especial work to keep it in repair. Let
us cult moving on in America, but
settle down on the land as though we
meant t. stay there, and signal that
intention by beginning the era of per.
manent construction on the farm.
