say he would not be a candidate for
President in 1915. nor did he declare
that the Republican and Progressive
parties would be clarified, sweetened
and amalgamated by that time. He re-
peated the creed of the Progressive
party and said he wanted to see Pro-
gressive principles carried out; he did
not say that other Republicans than
those placed in the "reactionary'' class.
could not carry out Progressive prin-
ciples; nor did he deny that the Maine
Republican platform is progressive.
All in all we cannot believe that
Col. Roosevelt's visit has changed a
single vote in Maine-unless the Pro-
gressive friends of some of those call
ed ''reactionaries" take offence. We
are glad he came and hope he will
come again, for we believe a little clos
er knowledge of actual conditions in
Maine would cause the former Presi-
dent to look at things in a different
light. If he has been told about
Maine in a manner as unfair as some
of his informants are using in Maine.
then he can hardly be blamed for
thinking that Peters was a candidate
for Congress two years ago. AS a
matter of fact it is wholly probable
that he never heard of Hon. John A.
Peters until told by Maine Progress
slve leaders of late; for Mr.. Peters has
had so short a stand in the national
Iimelight as to be hardly eligible to
the Penrose- Foraker Cannon class.
Some things have been over-done
by the Progressive dictators of Maine.

Editorial Comment.
No ENHANCEMENT for the United
States.
(Brooklyn Standard Union)

brooklyn Standard Union)
Nations act according to self-inter-
est, and the warning from Japan that
she proposes to seize Germany's Chin
csc possessions and clear the German
warships from the waters where East
and West meet is quite in accordance
with the policy of that aggressive and
ambitious country, ever seeking her
own expansion.
Already the European war has in
terfered with commerce in that remote
quarter of the globe, and now this act
of Japan threatens to bring actual hos
tilities to the regions near where we
have our great Asiatic insular possess
sions.
The harsh note from Japan tc Ger
many embitters the feelings stirred
by this lamentable conflict; but here
again as formerly, whatever opinions
and sentiments may be expressed
among our people. the American Gov
eminent must consider only the inter-
est of the United States.
Nine years ago a bloody war be-
tween a European and an Asiatic pow
er ravaged the Asiatic coasts of the
Pacific and Redeemed those waters: but
through it all the United States watch
ed with impartial neutrality and offer
ed TO the cause of peace meeting
place for the negotiations that ended
the Russo Japanese War.
Now again we must pursue the same
correct policy. Though great CONNER
ciai interests of ours are affected by
all these violent changes by which
portions of the territory once belong
ing to China are transferred back and
forth, yet it would be folly to allow
ourselves to be involved in any way
in a conflict lamentable in its begin
ming and most regrettable in it's ex-
tensio1.

Some WiIsonisms.
or Kennebec Journal:

Editor Kepnebec Journal:
In comparing the imports and ex-
ports for the four months ending June
80. 1914, according to the report of the
Department of Commerce now before
me, I find that the increased imports
and the decreased exports for those
four months amount to over $194, 900, 900
as compared with the same four
mouths in the year 1913. This means
that in this four months period Ameri-
lean industries have lost the opportu-
nifty of furnishing to our own people
and those of foreign nations this vast
amount of products which they sold in
the same time in 1918. II the same ra-
ito holds good for the entire year (and
1t appears that it may grow worse) it
means that we shall lose the sale Of
over $5S2,000.080 worth Of goods and
produce during this year as compared
with last.
The last census report states that
Maine manufactures of all kinds pro-
duce $176.000, 900 worth of products per
year. So it seems that the above in
dicated loss Of s1S4, 100000 in the past
four months is $1S,00o,00o greater than
lures for the entire year, and the year.
ly loss three and pne-third times
Names entire output, or eighty per
cent Of the entire manufactures of the
four states of Maine, New Hampshire.
Vermont and Rhode Island.
So it seems that President Wilson's
method OF sharpening the wits Of
American manufactures results in the
throwing out Of employment all the
laborers. men, women and children
in four fifths Of all the manufacturing
industries in all four of those New
England states, with loss of wages
of about s12o,00o,000. To show this is
no dream, reports Of "a banks for the
third work In June last show that they
cashed over $8s6,00o less employers
checks than they did for the same
week In June, 1913, or at the rate of
$55.000,000 a year for those "a banks.
When we consider that there are over
1000 banks that are cashing just such
checks every week. the result is a
loss Of several hundred millions in
wages paid to our laborers in the year
/ fear this method Of sharpening the
wits Of our manufacturers will result
in bringing the faces Of many of Am
crican laboring men on to the grind
stone

Tho Belt, the Dance, the Knife.

The belt, in place of the suspender.

attention is called to the apparently
evident fact that a large number of

that there is some connection between

Democratic Campaign of Deceit.

Skowhegan, Me-. Aug. 10, 1914.
If the Editorials of the Waterville
Sentinel and the speeches of w. r.
Pattangall printed in it continue to
misinform the public as was the case
In the Wednesday morning edition this
paper will be like a certain Demo-
cratic paper that the old woman said
she was keeping because it was SO full
of lie Qye) that she used it to make
her soft soap with.
Judging from one section of Mr.. Pat
tangalrs speech at Albion Tuesday
night his whole discourse must have
been complete misrepresentation. He
said:

speech delivered at Island Park Mon
day." holding up the manuscript

printed after it had been delivered.

find that tApplausel Much Laughter)
tCheers) and such marks of great en-
thusiasm are scattered all through it
before it had been delivered remember
80 the press might get it right if the
audience should fail to rise to the op-
portunity. Stage business is even in
dicated as right here we have "CHolds
up book).'
Now as a matter of fact neither the
Sentinel nor any other paper got a
copy of Mr.. Haines' speech until six
o'clock Monday night after It had been
delivered and taken by one of the best
short hand experts of the State and
had been typewriter by him. A copy
of the speech was mailed by the press
agent to the various papers including
the Sentinel at $50 P. M, Monday. The
Sentinel could not possibly have re-
ceived the copy of the speech in its
Office before eight o'clock that night
as the mall did not leave Augusta un-
til 1903 z. N
The press agent advises, in view of
these facts. that the public consider
the truth Of the rest Of the speech
with the same mind.

No further comment is necessary to

They have no issue but false state

The Tale of a Ring.

(M. E. F)
One night from off sleepy hand,
drew a ring, and on the stand beside
my bed tried 1t to lay,
When 10! it fell. and rolled away.
Q dear! must again arise?
Ny candle light, and strain my eyes, and
on the carpet crawl around?
No!-daylight it's when things are found.
But, when next morn, my ring 1 sought
Quite strange to say, l found it not.
Q WELL my faithful maid; no doubt.
Its hiding place would soon spy out.
But, as 1t proved, no more could she dis
cover where that ring might be-
Though her young eyes, and my good
glasses.
Over that floor made frequent passes.
And so for whole week. and more
In vain we scanned that bedroom floor
There was no crack nor any hole,
And no one round who ever stole.
But, as some ship sails,-seen no more
CThis happened, too. at the seashore).
That ring seemed to have sailed away
Into the shades of mystery.
But, Suddenly, one day. swirl
And at my door wild-eyed girl
Stood holding in her hand a Shoe.
While crying at me: Look. will your

And you will scarcely here believe me

Through all the fuss its loss had made.

Whenever we had looked for it.

Not much the worse for its odd plight,
And then we sank down on the floor
And laughed and laughed and then, some

Now, then, had that shoe been cremated.

And had some person been about
Whose word or action left some doubt.
What room for question and suspicion.

Some word, at least. and wounded feel
That might take many day for healingi
But naught, thank goodness! here befel
Except what l have tried TO tell.

And things get lost, and might. as queer

To lose this moral to our ditty.

About the things you cannot find.

His plight was Immediately seen by
young Heney who promptly dove into
the water after him. Young Miller can
not swim and was sinking when Heney
reached him. Heney took Miller under

trick was one Of the best turned along
the waterfront for some time. Later
