Laws Not Questioned.

Isn't it strange that.nO one, either
before or since the passage of those
laws, many years ago, has ever found
reason to CritiCise them or seek to
have them repealed? Two of those
measures were passed in the session
OF 1912. y years ago, and the other
one two years later in the session OF
1904. One Of these passed in 1902
was Senate BIZ 116. It passed in the
senate by a vote of SO to 0: and in
the house 81 TO 1. The other, passed
at the same session, was House Bill
1863. 1t passed the senate 81 to /, and
passed the house 70 to Z. The third,
passed in the session of 1904. was
Senate Bill 250. 1t passed the senate
% to 0. and PASSED the house &c to I.
No one believes that if these bills
we're such nefariOUs measures the leg
islatOrs, almost unanimously. would
have passed them. No man in all Ken
lucky ever found cause to, CT did
complain of them until Mr.. Stanley,
more than 10 years after they were
enacted, became a candidate for the
senate against me, and, having moth
ing else with which to assaiI my rec
ord, seizes upon them as the means

told them of the iniQuities in those
laws, and urged their repeal or med

and had passed almost unanimously.
His miserable charges against me,
therefore, about them, are even a
greater injustice and insult to almost
the entire membership Of those two
sessions Of the general assembly. His
attempt to make an issue of this is a
reflection. too, upon the intelligence OF
the Democratic voter of Kentucky.
He seems to be ignorant Of the fact
that such demagOgic methods of cam
paigning are now discredited and OBJ
solete, because of the more General
dissemination of education and knowl-
edge among the eCple. IN a land
where schools are scarce and books
and newspapers are rarely if ever,

not in Kentucky can he hope to i'm

Now that the baseball season has
closed Bart Folsom has given UP for
the present trying to prove to his
friends that although the Philadel-
phia team did not win the pennant it
was the better team, and has turned
his attention to his annual winter di-
version, that of keeping a record of the
temperature. and it might be added in
connection with this statement that
he has just secured a new thermeme-
ter. 1t might be further added also
that there was a reason for Mr.. Fol-
SONS action. 1t will be remembered
by those Journal readers who keep
run of the records of cold and hot
spells that over at Mr.. Folsom's home
on Arsenal street he has a thermome-
ter that has for several seasons held
the record-going few degrees lower
in winter and a few degrees higher in
summer than any other thermometer
in town, which performance was to its
owner a source of great satisfaction.
On but one occasion last winter did
anyone produce a rival to that ther-
mcmeter. and that did not worry the
owner of the Arsenal street instru-
ment to any great extent, but when on
Wednesday morning Mr.. Folsom had
reported a temperature of % degrees
above zero only to hear later in the
day that w. F. Turner's thermometer
on Capitol street had recorded only 16
degrees above zero the same morning,
he decided that something must be
done to retain his prestige, hence the
new thermometer. Mr.. Folsom an
nounced yesterday that he should
take The new one home when he went
to dinner and hang it beside the "old
reliable on the piazza, and that on
the next cold spell if the old thermom-
eter did not sustain it's reputation he
should throw it into the blue waters
of the Kennebec and pin his faith to
the new one.

Grand Trunk Wins.

In the Cumberland county case OF
Jennie L. POLAND VS.. Grand Trunk Rail-
way Company of Canada. Rescript
Philbrook ].
Action on the case for alleged negli-
gence.
1. When a railway car Is standing by
the platform at a terminal station and
the distance from the lowest car step to
the edge of the platform is the hypothe-
muse of right triangle whose perpen-
dicular is thirteen and five-eighths in
ches and whose base is either seven and
one-half, or ten and three quarters in
ches, the condition thus existing is not
one of negligence as to passengers
alighting in the exercise of due care.
The conditions of light described by
plaintiff does not in this case disclose
negligence of the defendant.
q When the car of the defendant had
come to a full stop at a terminal sta
ton it owed to the passenger ordinary
care in providing a place TO alight and
must maintain it's platform in such a
reasonably safe, suitable and eonven-
lent condition that passengers who are
themselves using ordinary care may
alight safely from the train. Under
these circumstances the railroad COM
pany does not owe that high degree of
care which 1t must exercise in behalf
of passengers in moving train.
Judgment for defendant. Received

Postal Savings Increase.

The war in Europe is proving big
boon to postal savings in this country
From the very day, hostilities opened
across the seas postal-savings receipts
began to increase by leaps and bounds
and Withdrawals fell off, a result quite
contrary to the predictions. Two i'm
portant results have followed: thous-
ands of people, largely of foreign
birth, accustomed to seEd their saw
ings abroad, are now patrons Of our
postal-savings system; and enormous
sums of actual cash nave been re-
leased for commercial uses among our
own people at time when the need
for every available dollar is pressing.
On July 1. when affairs were rum
ming smoothly here and abroad and
the transmission of money across the
Atlantic was safe and expeditions,
there was approximately 100000 of
postal savings standing to the credit
of about SSs, 600 depositors. Since then
over S10, 10000 of deposits have been
added and the number of depositors
has increased enormously. This I'M

DIR. GABRIEL REID MAGUIRE, F. R. G. S.
Famous Irish Orator, Traveller and Explorer
Coming to Augusta.

Any person after hearing DR.. Gabriel
Reid Mcguire, who is coming to City
Hall this season, cannot again truth
fully say, II don't care for lectures
Those who hear this most remarkable
man almost invariably say that he is
worth dozen other lecturers.
There is no one today before the
public like DIR. Mcguire, and his lecture
in African Jungles with an Irishman''
is not only entirely different but far
more entertaining ana fascinating
than anything ever heard in Augusta.
DR.. Gabriel Mcguire is real Irish
man from the ouid sod" with brogue,
Irish wit and all. He is a physical as
we'll as mental giant and his title to
lecture rests upon his natural talents,
superior education and wonderful
achievements.
He read a book, "Stanley's Darkest
Africa dreamed dream and started
for Africa. He was the first man to
ascend the Congo after Stanley, the
explorer, the only living white man
who has crossed Africa in both di-
rections, and the second white man to
visit the Pigmies.
In seven years Maguire's dream be-
came a reality. He had mastered a
language and Christianized a eemmu-
nifty of barbarians and cannibals. A
severe illness necessitated his return
to civilization and gave to the world
one of its greatest lecturers.
At Carnegie Hail. before more than
5000 people, he recently won, accord :
ing to the New York papers, "one OF
the greatest oratorical triumphs of
this generation"
Dr. Mcguire is, however. more
than an orator or lecturer, for he not
only recounts but re-enacts his six
years of wonderful experiences in Af-
rican Jungles. With his dramatic
ability, charming personality, Irish wit
and clever representations, his pnr-

Kennebec county this year will
probably have the largest output of
shoes of any county in Maine. Au-
gusta, Hallowell and Gardiner fac
tories are already doing a good bust
ness and the work of the r. P. Haz-
zard Co. of Gardiner has recently been
augmented by an order of $4,000 pairs
of army shoes for the French soldiers.
This industry in Kennebec county
bids fair to eclipse all previous out
puts. The recent addition of tine new
factory in Hallowell should prove n
big boom, and if competition makes
trade then kennebec county should
boom. 1t will mean the employment of
more hands and with the consequent
increase of population the benefits ac-
cruing should be felt in the Capital
City.

ing little after o'clock Thursday
morning for a three-mile hike in
the company of two older members

party struck out on the Winthrop road

pine grove afforded an opportunity for
outdoor sports and games for an
hour, after which lunch was served.
A nearby brook gave of it's cool wa

pines and soft needles which cover

leave Immediately so more games
were enjoyed, at the conclusion of
which the party started its return.
Cutting through fields and taking the
