The Liberty corn factory will put up
succotash this year, as well as can corn.
This is dish dating back to the Pilgrims,
and before them to the Indians. Origi-
nally it consisted of green corn and beans
b oiled together, and with pork added
made the family dinner. 1t was COM
mon dish in New England fifty or sixty
years ago; but, like the roast pig of ten

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who re-
urned last week, from somewhat cur
tailed vacation in Europe. says that the
war there is war of public law against
war of swords. He believes Germany
s eeks to dominate the world; but the
allies have other ideas of the situation;
each has certain fixed purpose and the
Senator believes there will be no end of
the war until these purposes are fully
accomplished. He has no hope of early
peace and asserts that peace talk is
originated by German agents with view
to testing sentiment in the United States
and regrets that the administration
should consider these movements. Neu-

for the United States at this time, for

Sixteen years ago Rudyard Klpllng
wrote poem, "The Truce of the Bear, }"
in which Russia was shown as menace.
When charged with Inconsistency in his
present advocacy of the alliance between
Russia and Great Britain he says that
the poem referred to 'dealt with sit
uation and a menace which have long
since passed away and with issues that
are now quite dead" And, further:
1.-The present situation, as far as Eng
land is concerned, is Germany's deliber-
ate disregard of the neutrality of Bel,
GUM, whose integrity Germany as well
as England guaranteed. She has filled
Belgium with every sort of horror and
atrocity, not in the heat of passion but
as a part of settled policy of terrorism:
Her avowed object is the conquest OF
Europe on these lines as you may prove
for yourself il you will consult her lit
erature of the last generation.
Germany is the present menace, not
to Europe alone, but to the whole civil

is victorious, you may rest assured that
it will be very short time before she

The Sanford Tribune says that what
few Progressives there are in the next
Maine Legislature should join with the
Republicans on all issues, and states the
case fairly as follows:
Few Progressives voted that ticket
who were DESTROYS of seeing Demo-
cratic Administration. They voted that
ticket because they were led to believe,
by the few selfish Office seekers ON the
ticket, that they had chance to win out
in Maine. During their campaign the
leading Progressives claimed to be the
party Of the people for the people. The
tricks used by leaders of the party at the
close of the campaign showed plainly that
these leaders had not the interests of the
people at heart but displayed the fact
that they were looking out for them
selves. The tricks carried out by these
leaders to gain the votes of the unsus-
pecting in the last few days of the cam
paign were far from clean politics and
many who cast their votes for that party
on election day saw how foolish they had
been, when 1t was too late.
