Wedding ceremonies have been made the medium of many strange fancies, but it has been left to a Rishton tEnglandD bridegroom to stand before the altar with his bride in motoring overalls. Both bride and bridegroom reached the parish church by motorcycle, and the S5 guests were conveyed in similar manner. The couple were Miss Mary Terrier and Mr. Charles Cartwright. The process sion of aily,decorated motorcycles scurrying along the streets with the bridal party provided a pleasant spec. tacle. This motoring marriage is to be carried through thoroughly, for even the honeymoon trip to Scotland will be done in cycle and sidecar

1eredlty and Insanity.

Heredity accounts for about fifty per cent. of the cases of insanity. This Is encouraging. It shows that the shocks and conditions of modern life do not make people insane; the stren. uous life merely brings out the insan. ity that IS latent in some persons as 8 result of heredity. A noraEl per son cannot be driven insane by any of the conditions of modern life.

Roosevelt Causes Split

Some Progressives Of New York
onel Roosevelt, because of his indorse-
ment of Senator Hinman and his
statement that he proposes to use his
influence to the end that Senator Hin
man receives the Republican nomina-
ton. DR.. Silverrnan, member of the
Progressive state committee has said:
I'VE are going to bring this fight
straight to the door of Mr.. Roosevelt.
We are getting together now to see
just what support we have in our con-
tention that Human Is not the best
avafla BILE candidate
1t appears that whatever support DIR.
Silverman wins in his contention the
result will be disappointing to him,
for Colonel Roosevelt has spoken and
without doubt the great mass of Pro-
gressive voters will follow his advice
without question; that is what they
are in the party for.
The members or the progressive
town committees of Rockland and
Hanover, Mass, met July 25 and up
on invitation the Republican commit
tees of the same towns met with them.
They are tired of pulling against each
other in their efforts to accomplish a
common result and in the future they
propose to pull together. The indica-
lions now are that this movement be-
gun in these two towns will spread
over the State and an almost general
amalgamation will result. This get-to-
gcther. coming so soon after Colonel
Roosevelt's announcement that he pro-
poses to support Republican Senator
Human of New York state for the
Office of governor against all other
possible candidates, will weaken the
Progressive campaign in Maine and
elsewhere. 1t is alredy noted that
many Maine Progressives have little
to say now about Colonel Roosevelt

Rooseveit's Statement.

The Kennebec Journal has received
from Hon. Halbert P Gardner the fol-
lowing alleged to be statement of Col.
Roosevelt on July 81. 1t came to us
in carbon copy and the name Peters"
had been inserted above the line in
the place where it appears, written In
black typewriter ink, as though it had
been inserted by some one as an after
thought, or that some one had put the
name of a man In to share Col. Roose-
velt's denunciation. Here is the state
ment and, considering the tactics of
certain Progressive leaders in this and
other states, we do not believe 1t will
injure the good names of either of the
Maine gentlemen mentioned;
II felt that in New York state our
prime business was to fight against the
Invisible government. against the two
bosses and the two old machines, with
state. I wanted to take the most effec-
tive method of doing 1t and when a Re-
publican like Hinman and a Democrat
like Hennessey would come out openly
against THESE tWo udCHincS Wds SidQ
to back them up; just as last year
backed the Democrat. Mitchell, for mayor
of New York If Republicans would SIM
ilarly come out against Gallinger and
Burleigh and the existing congressman
from New Hampshire and Maine, we
would be delighted to work with them
but they must come out against and
openly denounce Messrs. Gallinger. Bur-
leigh, Peters and the other leaders Of
the bourbons and reactionaries who have
put the Republican organization into a
position of violent antagonism to the
fundamental principles of the Republic
cans OF the days of Abraham Lincoln.
We appeal to the honest rank and file
of the two parties, Republican and DEM
ocratic alike, and we will be delighted
to fuse with them against the bosses. the
machines, and the bourbons and reac-
tionaries of both politics and business"

What Is Murderf
New York WORLDLY.

The husband of a woman whose
death is one Of the notable mystery
crimes Of the time complains that
until this tragedy occurred l had
supposed murder was murder
The remark voices his criticism of
the proceedings to discover and pun
ish the culprit. But without refer
ence to this particular case, how, as
an intelligent American citizen who
presumably reads the papers, can he
have reached the conclusion that muir
der in this country is always and nee
essarily murder? In some countries the
crime of taking human life still con-
stitutes murder, with few exceptions.
But in this land of personal liberty.
murder is only what the circumstances
make it. 1t may be dementia Anerf-
cana merely or the unwritten law or
lot of other things, depending on the
length of the slayer's purse, his men,
tai condition pending the verdict, and
according to the definition counsel and
alienists for the defense are able to
make complaisant jury accept.
To regard murder as an exact crime
shows a strange unfamiliarity with
American social and judicial condi-
objective offense but one in the high
est degree subjective, and susceptible
of any modification that the resources
of medical and legal talent are capa-

No WaIkover for Austria

Should the efforts now making to
confine the war in Europe to Austria
and Servia be successful, the world
might still witness the most dramatic
struggle of modern times, although the
ultimate result would scarcely be In
doubt. Austria's military strength as
compared with her opponent Is enor-

ing. That is to say, she might not

he ranges himself with them and against
the true interests of the American peo-
pie. The decent and far-sighted citizens
of Maine are left practically without
representation in the Congress of the
United States at this moment, The men
who have been sent there claiming to
have Progressive sympathies have. as a
matter of fact, consistently acted against
the real Progressives in Congress and
have, with entire servility, followed the
old machine leaders. The words they
used before election are of no conse-
quence whatever. Their actions and
their votes in Congress are what count,
and these actions and votes have been
such as to deprive good and sincere cit1-
zens of any right to distinguish between
them and the leaders and masters to
whom they have given allegiance. SINH
larly in your State affairs 1t is of prime
consequence to elect men of high charac-
ter whose words before election will be
made good by their deeds after election.
There is Just one way by which the peo--
pie of Maine can secure this kind OF
man and the kind of administration that
such man can give and that Is by vot-
ing the Progressive ticket.
With all good wishes,
Faithfully yours,

ID for Ono Day for the Cause

New York. July 81, 1914.
MY Dear Mr.. Gardner:
l wish TO extend to you personally my
congratulations and best wishes and
through you to say to the Progressives
or Maine that l am coming to Maine.
nope on the 18th of August, to speak TO
and for them and to do all in my power
to help elect the entire Progressive ticket
In Maine. Moreover, / shall make an
appeal not only to my fellow party
Progressives but to all the good citizens
OF Maine. Republicans and Democrats,
Washington the little Progressive party.
led In the House by Victor Murdoch. has
been the one party there that has shown
any Intelligent appreciation of the ma
tional need for constructive work. The
attitude taken by the Progressive mem
bers OF Congress on Industrial and econ
ornic questions has been the only attitude
taken by any OF the parties at Washing
ton which has offered the slightest hope
OF securing through governmental act
any real measure of relief from our
economic. and industrial troubles. The
Progressives alone have had a reasoned
and balanced program offering the chance
TO both to secure prosperity in the ma
ton at large, and to eliminate, or in any
event to minimize, the evils of our econ
omic and industrial systems. I hold that
on the one hand the Democratic National
administration at Washington, with its
control of the Presidency and both
Houses of Congress, has shown its COM
piete ancdpacity 10 safeguard the honor
and the interest of the American nation.
I hold no less chat the Republican Ma
tional organization. dominated as 1t is
by men OF the stamp OF Messrs. Barnes,
Penrose and Company, is utterly incapa-
BILE of affording the slightest permanent
relief. Messrs. Barnes, Penrose, CALM
ger and their fellow managers Of the
party are able to keep their grip on the
party by the adherence to them OF men
like Senator Burleigh. Whoever follows
their leadership no matter how upright
in his private capacity, is against Ameri-
can welfare. When Senator Burleigh
acts upder tina leadership OF these men.

the treasurer Of a political committee

the treasurer Of a political committee
that has been active in the campaign
shall file with the Secretary of State
an itemized and sworn statement Of all
moneys received and promised, the
persons from whom received or prom
ised, and to whom and for what these
moneys were paid.
Inquiry at the office of the Secretary
of State is answered by the assertion
that the treasurer of the Progressive
State Committee has not filed the
statement required by law, covering
the receipts and expenditures Of the
special Third District campaign which
resulted in the election of Congressman
John A. Peters in September, 1918, but
the treasurers Of the Republican and
Democratic State Committees have
complied with the law and fled the
reports.
There is naturally legitimate inter-
est in the receipts and expenditures in
political campaigns, but no opportuni-
ty has yet been given to examine the
record Of receipts and expenditures in
the Progressive campaign in the Third
District. Not only does the law re-
quire that such a record be fled. but
consistent and straight forward politi
cal conduct requires it. Citizens Of the
state interested in State politics and
believing in the spirit and intent of
the Corrupt Practice Act are anxious
to learn why the Progressives have
elected to break the laws of the State
rather than to file a financial state
ment showing from whom they re-
ceived moneys and to whom the funds
were paid.
