There seems to be a general disposition
to make Secretary Bryan the scapegoat
of the Mexican muddle and to force
his resignation from the Cabinet; and
whether this purpose is ACCOMPLISHED or
not it is evident that he has been elimi-
mated as a presidential possibility. He
was not given the position he now occu-
pies because of his fitness for the place,
but because it was feared that if unrec-
ognized he might be thorn in the side
of the Wilson administration. 1t could
hardly have been foreseen that he would
prove so glaringly incompetent; that his
grape Juice dinners. his absence on lee
ture tours when important matters of
State were pending, his pleas of poverty
through the press, would have so BELT
tied his high office and made this country
the object of ridicule abroad. But if
those who placed him in office had in view
his political undoing they have certainly
attained their object. AS to his respon-
sibility for the Mexican policy (?) of the
administration there must be some ques-
ton. There is substantial agreement in
all advices from the National Capital
that President Wilson is law unto him
self; that he consults no one, accepts no
advice, and gives his orders to Congress
in person, and enforces them even
against the better judgment of its mem
bers. 1t, therefore, seems unlikely that
he would leave Secretary Bryan free
hand; and indeed the policy of the adj
ministration toward Mexico bears the
earmarks of the Presidents own.

Many outside of his home place, Booth
bay Harbor, will learn with regret OF
the death of Charles E. Kendrick, for Is
years editor of the Boothbay Register.
He was a man of whom it may be truly
said that he was of the salt of the earth.
Small in statue, physically frail, he had
the heart of giant, and an indomitable
spirit that enabled him to surmount OBJ
stacles that would have deferred many
better equipped for life's battles. He
was always an optimist. His tongue
and pen were ever ready in behalf OF
any good cause. He was a ready speak
er and in the absence of the pastor had
acceptably occupied the pulpit OF his
home church. He was member OF the
Maine Press association and always
heartily welcomed at its meetings. His
family have lost a devoted husband and
father, his town one of its best known
citizens, and the newspaper fraternity
of Maine one of its most valued men,
bers.

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

It has been truthfully said that any disturb
ance of the even balance of health causes
serious trouble. nobody can be too careful to
keep this balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite. or to get tired easily, the least
imprudence brings on sickness; weakness or
debility, The system needs tonic, Graves it.
and should not be denied it; and the best tonic
of which we have any knowledge is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. What this medicine has done in
keeping healthy people healthy. in keeping up
the even balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as preventive that it enjoys as a
cure. Its early use has illustrated the wisdom
of the old saying that stitch in time saves
nine. Take Hoods for appetite. strength and
endurance,

The Rockland Opinion has arrived at
the conclusion that, to the Democrats,
'the Progressives are distinctly liabil-
ity rather than an asset, " and says that
it has "seldom seen anything in the way
of political faulty that equals that of
the Democratic leaders who bank on the
Progressive movement to give the De-
mocracy victory in Maine next Septem-
her," If the Opinion is right it is case
of "the engineer hoist with his own
petar." The Democratic press and lead
ers have given the Progressive move
ment all possible aid and encourage
ment, and it has been generally regarded
as Democratic side show. The honest,
well-meaning men who went into this
NOV ement now realize that they have
been led by sore heads, who if they cam
not obtain office themselves are seeking
revenge on the Republican party, and
since this fact became known they have
been losing their misguided followers.
The Waterville Sentinel, as we'll as the
Rockland Opinion, has evidently seen
new light in this direction and calls down
Mr.. Halbert P. Gardner, the Progress
sive candidate for Governor, whose fall
ure to secure a seat in the Governors
Council turned him against the party
that had elected him twice to each branch
of the legislature. The Sentinel quotes
this statement made by Mr.. Gardiner
at the recent Progressive conference in
Belfast:
Isubmit for your honest consideration,
as a former Republican thoroughly &C.
auainted with the inside workings OF the
Republican party, that never has solu-
ton of the liquor question received con-
sideration other than for political expeA
diency.
Upon which the Sentinel comments as
follows: "Mr. Gardner ought to know.
As he says, he was for many years
m ember of the Republican party. Dur
ing those years, did Mr.. Gardner attempt
to reform his party in its dealings with
the liquor question? Did the other Re-
publicans who have joined the new party
try to make the old deal honestly in this
matter? If not, are they not now open
to suspicion? Will they do all that they
say they will do to secure an enforce
ment of the prohibitory law?" And in
conclusion The Sentinel aptly remarks:

When the Wilson administration en-
tered upon a policy that could only end
in intervention and war with Mexico,
Americans were ordered to leave that
country and an appropriation Of $4,000
was made to aid in their departure. They
were offered no protection for life or
property, and it has been demonstrated
since that the policy of the administra-
ton is to afford none. A party of Ameri-
can refugees from Tampico who called
upon Secretary Daniels at the war de-
partment the other day were told that he
thought they were lucky to escape with
their lives and that they could expect no
protection for their property in Mexico.
Commenting editorially on this inter-
view the Boston Herald says: ''In the
eyes of this administration it is an Of

Mr.. Wilson wants US to establish closer

He wants European manufacturers to

to discourage American industries from
invading the European market? Does he
object to Americans establishing them
selves in business abroad because he
wants to keep them here at home where
he can regulate their enterprise and
throttle it with taxes and new federal
restrictions ? What il bis policy Can
he define it to himself We cannot
fathom it. Enough for US to know, on
the authority of Mr.. Daniels, that it is
not his program to protect American
property abroad and that Americans in

EXPECT BRITISH
TO FREE SHIPS
United States Makes Formal
Protest Against Seizure
of Oil Steamer.

Washington, Oct. 24.-According to
well informed opinion here, the tank
steamers Platuria and BrindiIla. seized
by the British authorities, probably
will be released unless reports that
the vessels were acting suspiciously
and steering out of their regular course
result in proof that they were engaged
in an unneutral service.
The United States Friday protested
to Great Britain against the seizure of
the Platuria. owned by the Standard
Oil company. now detained at Lewis
Island, Scotland.
Inasmuch as the admiralty court OF
Halifax already has begun proceedings
to determine whether the Brindilla is
a prize. the British government is ex-
pected formally to decline to release
the vessel until the decision is rem
dered. \ prize court, it is believed.
Will similarly determine concerning
the status of the Platuria.
Sir Cecil Suring-Rice. the British
ambassador, called on Secretary Ian
sing to learn the relation between the
German company which formerly
owned the Brindilla and the Standard
Oil company. According to a report
of the com1liSsioIsF-os corporations in
1907. the German company in ques-
tion was a subsidiary OF the Standard
Oil company and completely controlled
by the latter If this fact is proven to
the satisfaction OF the prize court, all
doubt as to the bona fide nature of the
transfer of the vessel from German
owners to the American company is
sure to be established.
