supper at the Mason Mills church this, Thurs
day, evening. at 6 o'clock. All are invited.
The city officials are moving in the matter
of better water supply for fire purposes. and
a meeting was held last Friday at the office
of Mayor Dunton at which A. D. Wheeler of
the Belfast Water Co. was present to meet
representatives of the city government the
Belfast Board of Trade and the engineers of
the fire department. Mr.. Wheeler said that
he wished to work in absolute harmony with
the city officials and the matter was freely
discussed. The contract was talked over and as
it is thought to be rather vague in some re-
spects it is possible that new one may be
written The present capacity of the stand
pipe and pumps we're discussed and at a later
meeting it is expected that something definite
will be done. Another meeting will be called
shortly.

HAPPY MOTHERHOOD

Thehappinessof motherhood istoooften
checked because the mother s strength is
not equal to her cares, while her unse1fsh
devotion neg1ects her own health.
It is a duty of husband or friend to see
that she gets the pure medicinal nourish-
ment in Scott's Emulsion, which is not
a drug or stimu1ant but natures con-
centrated oi1-food tonic to enrich and en-
liven the blood, strengthen the nerves. and
aid the appetite. Physicians everywhere
prescribe SCOTS Emulsion for over
worked, nervous, tired women; it builds
up and holds up their strength.

DESIGNATE GOOD MEN

Today the Democratic State AS
sembly will be held in Denver to des-
ignate candidates for state officers
and tomorrow it will meet to select
congressional nominees.
1t is to be hoped that the
party will be wise enough to select
men that are broad-piinded, and not
heretofore been oesmirched or taint-
ed with political corruption. If
class of clean, loyal men are selected
the Democratic party of this state
can win at the next election, but if
the ward politician is allowed to dom
mate the assembly, and place those
upon the ticket that have political
ulcers that are a stencil to the peo-
pie, they will go down to defeat, eth
er in the primary or in the general
recent internal troubles has made
the voter independent, and he will nc
longer tolerate the political boss. The
country Democracy, as expressed in
our different exchanges, are unit in
selecting the most clean men that
the party affords, and will no longer
be dictated by an irresponsible daily
Denver press. Let the party act with
wisdom and renominate our U. s.
Senator and the majority of our pres
ent congressman to assist the admin
stration in it's great and glorious
work, and they will be doing great
and good work for the nation, as
well as state.

RETURNING PROSPERITY

Even the most unscrupulous parti-
sans in congress have about aban-
doned hope of causing hard times,
and thereby gaining political advan-
tage, by spreading false reports as
to actual business and Industrial con-
ditions. They have been smothered
under evidence demonstrating that an
industrial revival has begun and that
the record crop guarantees general
prosperity.
The ST. Paul has released orders for
$4,000 to 10000 tons of rails to Chi
cago district mill. The United States
Steel Corporation has taken a con-
tract for 5000 tons of girder rails
for New South Wales. Tie Wabash
has practically closed for sixty loco
motives. The Pittsburg, Shawmut &
Northern has bought $50 coal cars
and the Atlantic Coast Line 100 log
ging cars. The American Bottle Co.,
of Newark, Ohio, has increased its
shift from 900 to 1,200 men and is
working in three shifts of eight
hours each. At Greenville, Pa, the
finch mills of the Carnegie Steel
company have resumed operations.
AT the plants of the Steel Corpora
tiop and throughout the steel trade
steady resumption Of business is
reported.
Railroad earnings are picking up
in the west; bank clearings are in
creasing railroad shops are being re-
opened on full time; the big copper
companies of Michigan are increas-
ing their shipments; throughout New
England the textile trades are flour
ishing. At North oxford. Conn, the
Narragansett Worsted Mills have re-
opened for the first time in two
years. In the far west 1t is wool
shearing season, and despite the pre-
dictions that free wool would ami
hilate the American wool producer,
the largest output Of raw wool In

The cotton report of the bureau of
the census for June showed that dur
ing the nine months ending May 81,
more cotton was consumed in the
same period last year and that there
were active during May, 1914, more
spindles than during the month of
May, 1913. The cotton report for the
month of June was made public on
the morning of July Goth. 1t shows
cotton consumed during the ten
months ending June SOth, 1914, as
4,745,39O bales, which compares with
consumption during the ten months
ending June 80, 1913, of 4,5SS,729
bales, an excess for the current year,
of 156, ,661 bales.
In like manner the cotton spindles
active show a continuing increase.
The record for the month of June,
1914, of active spindles is 30,93S, 1852,
and for the month of June, 1913, 30,-

month over the same month last year
of S92,631 spindles.

er. than along lines that have a
strong influence toward increasing
this tendency. The purpose of your
inquiry is so clearly political, and
the intent to discredit the present
administration and recent legislation
so apparent, that this bank declines
to have anything to do with it, and
feels justified in giving expression
to it's lack of sympathy with your eff
forts. 1t is such movements, by
such organizations as yours, that JUS
tify the charge that there is being
made systematic and disloyal eff
fort to create a condition of mind
in the people of the country that will
bring about and intensity a spirit of
commercial depression. No more dis.
creditable and dishonorable thing
could be attempted by men claiming
to be loyal citizens of the Republic.
AS you very well know, to spread
broadcast over the country any evi-

the existence of business depression
only tends to produce and heighten
this depression. That this is your

RETURN THE
PEOPLES SERVANTS

No man is better fitted for office
than one who has been tried and
found loyal to his nation, under whose
starry banner, we as American free
ren- have enjoyed rights never ex-
celled by any other naticn for near
ly 140 years. When the nation,
through Republican debauchery, had
SO emasculated the peoples rights,
that We no longer could claim the
distinction of American freemen, the
people rose in their might and gave
US a man to guide our destinies,
whose name will be written at the
top of the page of American history.
And among those that Colorado gave
to support that strong arm was the
Hon. C. S. Thomas, Edward Taylor,
Edward Keating and H. H. Seldom
ridge. These chieftains Of loyalty to
their country and its laws have been
foremost. in the battle to restore to
the people their just rights, and they
should all be returned to congress to
assist a president whose battle for
human rights is only half completed.
The interloper as ever is abroad in
the land, and for paltry gain and per-
sonal ambition, would halt the presi-
lent in his great battle for the free
!Cm of the masses, and throw the
nation again into a state of chaos.
These men are like the most of man
kind, and may have their imperfec-
tions, but we know they have help
ed form the mighty bulwark against
whose solid abutments the financial,
the tariff and the trust waves have
surged, with no perceptible effect.
Perfection in mankind has never
been attained, and while they may
have ideas with which we may differ,
their steadfast loyalty to their coun-
try and their people has created a
shining star in their personality,
whose brightness should never be
dimmed until the country is again
placed upon that elevated plane Of
equal rights, equal laws and equal
justice to ALL, guaranteed to us in
that valuable instrument that has
placed us at the head of all the ma
tions of the earth.

WILSON'S MEXICAN POLICY

The presidents Mexican policy, con-
corning which there have been many
misgivings, has triumphed. The die
tator has resigned. A constitutional
government is to be established.
There will eventually be peace at
home and peace with the United
States.
When General Huerta, on the 18th
of February, 1913, telegraphed to
President Taft, 81 have overthrown
this government and the forces are
with me-" he had no thought OF the
man who in two weeks was to be the
president Of the United States, or OF
the forces that that man would array
against the Mexican usurper.
One week after Mr.. Wilson's inaug-
uration, he gave due warning to Gen.
Huerta and all other Latin-American
chieftains who gain office by intrigue
and assassination, when he said;"We
can have no sympathy with those
who seize the power Of government
to advance their own personal inter-
ests and ambitions" Huerta laugh
ed at this avowal and not few cit
izens of the United States pronounc'
ed 1t visionary and fantastic.
Yet the new American doctrine tha'
usurpation Is not to be recognized
on this hemisphere has been estaD-
lished in the one country where It's
success seemed most doubtful. Agains'
Huertas airy assumption wilson ar
rayed adamantine conscience. In OPP
position to the tyrant's armed FORCES
Wilson marshalled the forces OF I'D
erty and Justice.
1t has taken some hard fighting IN
Mexico to overthrow the man WHO
overthrew the government, but moral
courage of higher order has peeh
needed to enable the administrator
at Washington to hold true to its
principles. The triumph Is ours as
well as Mexico's. The honor OF VIC
tories won In the realm OF morais 10
no less than that Of battles gained
