CLINTON.

The Kennebec County Pomona will
meet today with the Clinton Grange. An
interesting program has been arranged
and II is hoped that there will be a good
attendance.
Rev H. F. Milligan and Charles l..
Clement attended the Methodist Eff
cheney Congress at Augusta and will give
reports to the local church on Tuesday
evening, Feb. 3.
A good-sized audience assembled in
Brown Memorial church and listened at
tentively on Sunday at 1890 A. NJ. to the
remarks of Prof Henry w. Brown, of
Colby College, who addressed those pres
ent on Prayer" The professor warmed
to his subject and everyone felt that now
as ever THE effectual fervent prayer of
a righteous man availeth much" In the
afternoon Prof. Brown was heard with
the same unanimous satisfaction at the
Benton NJ. E. church. The father of
Prof. Brown was a very successful pas
tor in the Clinton church during the
years of 1883 to 1893 and preached on Sun
day afternoons at Benton during his pas
torate. There is present living mem
bership of 81 who are now and were then
members of the church. Fourteen of this
number live in Clinton proper. Eight of
that number were admitted to full mem
bership during the pastorate of Mr.. W..
l. Brown.
The First Union church service was
held in the Free Baptist church on Sun
day evening. and will be continued every

Let That Sort Go.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
I cannot believe the true born sons
and daughters (of such men and wo-
men as preserved the nation and gave
so freely that the Old Flag might be
saved from dishonor in crisis like
1875, 1S12,s 1s47, 1861 and 1898 and
the years of hardships that followed
each period of trouble) have so little
patriotism as to leave this free land
and the protection of the old flag for
the proteetieh Of another flag, and be-
come citizens of nation which 100
years ago was stealing our seamen.
If there are such it is no loss to
this nation and no gain 20 the other,
for a man or woman who has lost
his or her love for the fatherhood is
no gain to another land.
AS for the emigrant who comes
here and then moves on, he is beneath
our notice because he is but after
pickings.
Hoping there is nothing personal in
this, | submit it in answer to Charles
O. Elvins' letter of Jan. 81, 1914.

1t grieves US to note that the Biddeford
Journal and the Kennebec Journal have
stopped quarreling and gone to fighting.

The friction between these journals
never generates very dangerous heat.
They soon cool off and resume running
harmoniously in common political
grooves.-Portland Argus.
AS politics was in no way involved in
the original proposition, there was really
no need for dragging in that word ''po-
litical" and thus add to the clutter and
confusion of the arena-Biddeford Jour

invite 'em to banquet us at some con-
venient place where casualties are
common, and let 'em see us at our
worst. Mebbe then they'd be able to

chased and the present building erect
ed with the following trustees: George
Perkins, Isaiah Blaisdell and John w.
Hill. The church was built by OTIS
w. Kent who. it will be remembered
by some. also built the Catholic and
Unitarian churches. In 1900. with
Rev. ]. p. Simonton as pastor the
floating debt of the church was paid
and its event celebraed on Washing
tons birthday, 1904. About week
later fire partially destroyed the struc-
ture. Steps were then taken Tor the
purchase of the Fiske lot on Hancock
street and a new church constructed,
which was dedicated in 1907 by Bishop
Hamilton. The old church was sold
and repaired and used for different
purposes until it was recently bought
by Ellsworth men who are tearing II
down.

The frank admiration for and conf
dence in the coming leadership of the
nations, is gratifying to Americans
when they consider the high British
source from which it comes. We
agree that Intervention in Mexico
would be an unforgiveable disaster.
But if the reports of some very in
telligent people who have spent recent
years in Mexico. are true, then Ameri-
can can never look itself in the face
until it purge itself of the taint of any
connection with a stupendous plot of
great monied interests to exploit val
liable franchises that should be enjoy
ed by the Mexican public. The financ-
ing of a revolution by selfish CONNER
cial interests of another nation is as
damnable as anything ever conceived
by Nero, and anything giving govern
ment countenance to such a plot will
go down through the ages a blot upon
our fair name. Let us hope that some
of the claims are wholly false and
that the English gentleman's hope may
be fulfilled and his confidence justified.

If the collapse is continuous, so is the

we understand it, if Huerta had been

Some Little Things Have Big Mean.
inu

One paragraph in the announcement
of the Jardin de Dance has aroused
considerable comment and criticism
1t is that relating to the sale of cigars
and cigarettes. 1t is not presumed
by us at least, that such sale would
be made to youth under the age limit
But it is undeniably true that a large
class of our citizens are strongly
prejudieed against cigarettes, and to
place them in a position where they
cannot conscientiously support to the
full charity so worthy as this seems
to us to be unwise. It is certain to be
regretted.
The advertising of cigarettes is one
of the many worse than useless things
tabooed by the management of the
Kennebec Journal. If the announce
ment had been carefully read it would
have been blue penciled. Inasmuch as
school boys and girls are to be as.
signed active part in the function, we
have reason to believe that some par
ents will have their interest and SYM
pathy severely checked by the unfor-
tunate introduction of this attribute of
Bohemia. We might say that Au-
gusta is hardly educated up to full
appreciation of many things that are
an accepted part of the society game
in the large cities.
