Congressman Peters at Home.

w. R. Pattangall, in his daily at
tacks upon Congressman Peters, is
saying that Mr.. Peters is not earning
his salary because he is at present alb
sent from Congress. This argument
appears to be the only one Pattangall
dares use against Mr.. Peters, and is
inspired by the fact that Mr.. Peters
and not Mr.. Pattangall is drawing the
salary.
Mr.. Peters did not go to Congress
for the salary. Here in his home city
and home county of Hancock the
people know that it was, in fact, at
personal sacrifice that Mr.. Peters ac-
cepted the call that came to him for
this public service, as duty which he
owed to his party and to his country.
This is his whole attitude toward the
high office he has the honor to hold;
he does not talk of it in terms of dol
lars and cents, as does Mr.. Pattangall.
Congressman Peters can do more
for Maine and for the country and be
of greater value to his constituency
by taking an active part in the cam
paign than by remaining in Washing
ton. The democratic secret caucus
so absolutely controls legislation in
Congress that republican can at best
do no more than protest. The Wilson
steam roller can be stopped by moth
ing short of republican majority, and
Congressman Peters believes it his
duty to do all in his power to hold his
seat until such time as there are repub-
licans enough to control Congress or
at least exert an influence. Mr..
Peters will deserve the thanks of the
entire State if he succeeds in keeping
W. R. Pattangall out of Congress and
aids in the election of republicans for
the State government.
Mr.. Peters himself says: II came
home for the State convention in
April, over which I was asked to pre-
side. came home for the primaries,
and am home now. expect to give
this district value received far above
my salary, and not only earn the
same, but deserve thanks in addition
If at the present juncture I can sue
coed in my efforts in preventing Mr..
Pattangail representing this State in
Congress"
1t is the duty of every congressman
to keep in touch with his constitu-
ency; the congressman who does
not do this loses his value to those he
represents. There is no better time
for a congressman to get in touch
with his constituency than when an
election is on in his district. He
then can learn the will of his constitu-
ents, and the voters in the districi
learn from him what ia going on in
| Congress and what the administration
is doing.
There is small wonder that Mr.. Pat
tangall objects to Mr.. Peters pres
ence; if Congressman Peters were
not here to defend the principles OF
republicanism, to protest against the
outrages Of democracy, and defend his
own position against hostile attack,
there might be little hope for Mr..
Pattangall in his ambition to join him
self to the democratic steam roller In
Washington that has struck such Q
cruel blow to Maine industries. AS II
is, the best Mr.. Pattangall can do ID
stay home and kick about Congress
man Peters drawing the salary he
covets himself.

Most Beautiful Words.

In a recent contest to determ-
inc which twenty five words
are worth being considered the
most beautiful in the English
language, the first prize was won
with Tie words printed below.
From these the judges struck
four-grace; divine, Justice and
truth--as lacking in euphony
compared to the other words Of
the list Grace and justice were
struck out because of the harsh
ness of the ',g'N in grace and the
ii" in justice. The word truth
had a metallic sound, so the
Judges declare, and divin e,
while beautiful in the sentiment
implied, lacked eltphony.
These ale the twenty five
words selectedi Melody, Splen-
dor, Alteration, Grace, Virtue,
Eloquence, Innocence, Modesty,
Faith, Joy, Truth, P eac e,

worst, to make lot of new
ruins for tourists to visit.
Before washing fine lace OF
muslin collars and cuffs baste
them on a piece ofheavier mus
lin, is an excellent way to pre-
vent their tearing or stretching
in the process of laundering.
Church statistics show that it
costs about 81, 900 to convert a
man to belief in the Christian
way of living
Political statistics, Oh the
other hand, show that it costs
about $40, ,0O0-some authorities
say $25, ,000-to kill a man in
war.
Suppose that during the past
third of century the leaders of
human activity in Europe had
taken the money they have put
into getting ready to kill people
and put it, instead, into getting
ready to save them-that is to
say, had put into schools, church
es, missions and into setting per-
sonal examples of practlced
Christianity.
