man:
Cambridge, Me-. Sept. 1, 1914.
Dear Editor of Kennebec Journal:
l presume you saw in the Water
vile Sentinel of this morning an ac-
count of the Enthusiastic Democrat
rally in this town last evening in
honor of the Hon. Mayor Curtis of
Portland, the want-to-be Governor of
Maine 600 present., Just a Demo-
cratic mistake, or misstatement. OF
course the Sentinel wouldn't lie! Oh
no! But the 400 was minus. The
voters of Cambridge did not think or
look at the event as any courtesy to
this town, so the boys would not set
UNI up" and the Hon. Curtis did not
waste his time on desert air. l only
noticed one man from this vicinity
who went ito help swell the crowd
and he was Republican. He went
to see who would enter the cage and
put his head in the lions mouth, but
the lion did not even open his mouth
Guess he thought he had got into the
wrong pew, or among the other fell

reporter got muddled-takes but a lit
tie rum to muddle some people--and
it is reported that the D. party

CREASED by more than $25, 000, 600.
1t may not be absolutely correct to
lay all of this tremendous loss to the
Democratic tariff bill, but most Of 1t
can be laid at the door of that meas
ure. Moreover, up to the breaking
out of the war in Europe, things were
growing worse every day and for the
month of July we actually bought for
eign goods to the value of $4,000, 900
above what we sold. That is to say,
for the first time In years the balance
of foreign commerce was against us.
These are startling facts; they are
facts that every American working
man should think about. They are
facts that every American farmer
should study and they are facts that
you won't find in the Democratic press
or hear from the Democratic platform.
This Democratic tariff is giving work
and wages to the foreigner In Europe
and Asia, while our own laborers hunt
for a job. A Democratic newspaper
has started campaign with the
slogan, Buy American Made Goods"
This is wise and we endorse such a
campaign. We too want the Ameri-
can consumer to buy American made
goods; but this is just what a pro-
tective tariff does for us, only it does
it far more effectively than this
Democratic propaganda can. This
Democratic paper tells us that buying
American made goods means giving
work and wages to American working
men; SO 1t does and this is exactly
what Republican tariff docs. Vote
for il.

party at the approaching election.
notice that the writer says the only
other live party is the Democratic one.
If he had taken the trouble to inform
himself in regard to the conditions In
this town as thoroughly as he seems
to have In adjoining towns, he would
have learned that there Is we'll or

Twenty years ago today the first
American championship golf match
was played. The game was then con-
sidered society fad and was played
in regal setting at Newport. r. l.
OF the 20 contestants, w. G. Lawrence
of Newport was declared the winner
and the first American amateur
champion. Golf in the United States
is said to date from the establishment
of the St. Andrews Golf Club at
Yonkers. N. Y, in 1888. South Caro-
linians, however, claim that it was
played in their state century before,
and point to the files of the Charles
ton City Gazette, where an item I'M
der date of September Is, 1888, states:
* X X X there is lately erected
that pleasing and genteel amusement,
the golf baan." Golf was played in
Scotland, said by many to be its place
of birth, generations before Column
bus made known that there was an
America. One prominent American
Educator has said that he read an ac-
count of a golf game written by the
ancient Aristotle, and had found
reference to the sport in the Bible. 1t
is also claimed that Holland was its
place of origin. In the earliest rec
ords of Scottish history. literature
and even legislation, golf occupies a
prominent place. Over four centuries
ago the sport had so overwhelmed ar
cherry, the soldiers training. that the
Scottish legislature deereed that the
fut ball and golf be utterly cryit
doun and nocht usit." Forbidden to
the masses, it remained a royal pas
time. King James II played game
with an Edinburgh shoemaker; Queen
Mary was found playing on the links
two days after the death of her royal
consort, Darnley. The news of the
Great Irish Rebellion came to King
Charles l while he was lifting the
ball over the links at Leith.

Progressives Exaggerated.

The other day we received and pub

might bring forth, several letters from
Progressives concerning conditions IN
eastern Somerset county. We had good
reason to believe that the writer's had
been misled and were over-enthusias-
tic regarding Progressive chances. but
we gave space to their complaints
about Republican correspondents and
published their claims in full. Since
that date we have received a mass of
information from Somerset county
proving how mistaken our Progress
sive friends were, also proving that
some of the Progressive politicians are
not above the trickery with which
they so freely charge the Tories

Today golf. beginning as a society fad

pastime at which a vast fortune. es-
timated as high as $4,000. 900. is spent
every year In the United States.
There are said to be more than 100000
active players who are driving the
gutta percha balls over links whose
combined acreage in the United
States is nearly twice as large as the
District of Columbia. Some of the
American club houses are veritable
mansions; one in the middle West has
cost to date over $4,000 for the golf
ing course, the club house and the
equipment. The exact amount of
money reaped annually by the Amerf-
can caddies is not definitely known,
but it probably equals the amount
paid in Great Britain, which is esti-
mated at s125Oeeo0. Other items that
go to make UP the annual tribute to
golf are clubs and balls. The value
of the clubs in use Is estimated at
nearly s1,o0o,000, while the balls are
valued at over se.0oo,900 Golf has
spread throughout the world. In Eu-
rope there is scarcely country with

world. Mexico is rapidly becoming
known for its links. While all classes
have taken to the sport with the en-
thusiasm, kings and queens, not to
mention the lesser lights of royalty
and the nobility. are ardent devotees.
King Alfonso has his private links in
Spain and has taught his English
born queen to play the game. The
German Emperor. prohibited by a
physical ailment from participating in
the sport, nevertheless is an enthu-
siast and frequently follows his son,
the Crown Prince, about the links at
Potsdam. President wilson. and his
predecessor, Mr. Taft, are devoted to
the game.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 1, 1871

VI NC, otpt. L, 1914.
To the Editor of the Kennebec Jour
nal:
Ex-President Roosevelt wants good
government in New York and for that
reason he Endorses Mr.. Human, a Re-
publican candidate for nomiation. Mr..
Roosevelt not only Endorses him en-
phatically but asks all good citizens to
join with him in support of Mr.. Hinman
and states that he himself will vote for
him even if a regularly nominated en-
rolled Progressive is a candidate. He
knows that good government in New
York state cannot be had except Repub-
lican and Progressive votes are cast for
one ticket"
Will you please make this correc-
ton:
Colonel Roosevelt has withdrawn his
endorsement Of Mr.. Human. He is
for a straight-out Third Party contest
in New York, the same as in Maine.
He has publicly stated that fusion
with the Republicans is impossible and
that he will stump the entire state of
New York for the Progressive ticket
and no other.

have been told that the Massachusetts,

Lord smiles every time he remembers

that the one and only great civilizer
and Christianizer is the license sys-
tenn prepared by the rum crowd and
carried out by the saloons and saloon
made grating politicians. Yet here
we are confronted by an editorial
from the Boston Journal smashing all
our roseate pictures of innocence and
bliss:
SALEMS LIQUOR SQUAD.
Salem is to have liquor squad of
policemen. The City Council, dis
satisfied with the nom enforcement of
law by the force as a whole has or
dered the assignment of special
squad to duty and has even designated
its members. And there are council
men who believe that the plan will be
successful.
There is reason to doubt it. If the
policemen whose duty 1t is to enforce
all laws will not do that part of their
duty which concerns the sale Of liquor;
there is something wrong higher up"
That being the case, a special squad Of
men detailed for the enforcement of
one law will do their duty just so long
as they are not interfered with by
those above them who do not desire
an honest enforcement of that law.
Given responsible municipal officials
who believe in doing their whole duty,
there should be n, permanent or seri
Gus trouble, even in Salem, over the
enforcement of law. The average
policeman in any town or city knows
just how far he may go along some
routes. He doesn't receive orders,
perhaps; but he gets his tips. and
they are usually straight. He accepts
for his motto, Safety first!"
Boston has had liquor squads. They
didn't stop the illegal sale Of liquor.
In certain districts they regulated it."
in competition with licensed dealers,
and did SO almost openly. Assign
ment to liquor squads was sometimes
looked upon as revenue producing pro-
