How win Proeressives Vote?

question frequently asked is:
How are the Progressives in this
city going to vote, March 90"
If they desire to advance the prin-
ciples of their cause they will vote
the Republican ticket, at the head of
which is man representing the prin-
ciples that are the common property
OF Progressives and Republicans
To what is the fact that the wishes
of the people of Maine respecting the
tariff are not properly represented at
Washington, today, attributable Can
we not all recall within recent years
the success secured by the Democratic
party by inducing the voters to disre-
gard party ties and obligations and
vote for good fellows?"
A Democrat elected as a good fell
low to municipal office may within
the next few years and because of that
become the standard bearer of a cause
in which we do not believe. Until
municipal elections may be so held as
to be entirely distinct from partisan
questions and policies, the voter who
is wise will very carefully consider
principles involved, other than those
pertaining solely 10 municipal affairs.

Severe Rheumatic
Pains Disappear
Hoods SarsaparlIa Will Surely Bring
Relief-Don't Suffer.

Rheumatism, which perhaps causes
more suffering than any other disease
depends on an acid which flows IN
the blood, affecting the muscles and
joints, producing Inflammation, stiff :
ness and pain.
This acid gets into the blood through
some defect in the digestive processes,
and remains there because the liver
kidneys and skin are too torpid to
carry 1t off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla. the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly. with purifying effect, on the
blood. and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys and skin, which 1t
stimulates. and at the same time 1t
improves the digestion.
Get Hoods today. Sold by all
druggists.-Adv.

Do the Voters Understand
That Lighting Report?
Expressions That Have Been Mis-
understood by Many Citizens
Not Exactly a Source Of lncome..
How Will Progressives Vote?

The Republican city committee,
through it's representative, has been
investigating the street lighting prop
osition in this city and the relation
of the facts to the statement issued
by Mayor Newbert Dec. 81. 1918 The
last paragraph Of this statement is as
follows:
Amy reasonable extension of our
street lighting system will always
prove valuable asset, and its cost
will burden no one
With this conclusion the Republican
city committee agrees in part, i. e.,
that a reasonable lighting system in
this city is a valuable asset, but to
the statement that it will cost nothing,
it takes exceptions. An examination
of the contract between the city and
the Central Maine Power Company,
and count of the lights already in
stalled and undergoing installation
shows:
Fifty-ei of the new poles on
Water street and II on Cony street
for which the city will pay S55 per
year and total of s4125.
From this may properly be deduct
ed the. cost of 10 are lights at S65 per
year and series lights at $50 per year
which We're displaced total of $40
only. This leaves net annual in
crease in the cost of lighting two
streets, Water and Cony, S94l5.
The last sentence of the tenth para
graph of Mayor Newbert's statement
is as follows:
1T is already arranged that the
Lewiston, Augusta & Waterville
Street Railway Company shall pay
$50 per pole fer trolley hitch on
kines Hill and the Postal Tele-
graph $40 per pole for cable hitch
in the same location. 1t is expect
ed that the total revenue from this
source in 1914 will amount to the
sum of not less than $1,000"
Inquiry was made of Mr. Newbert
Thursday afternoon as to just what
this sentence meant: whether the $50
and the $40 We're for annual rental of
poles, for an extended period, or for
an indefinite period. Mayor Newbert's
reply ridiculed the suggestion that any
one would get the idea that $50 was
IN annual rental He was then asked
to state for how long a period the $50
per pole did pay for. He replied that
the city government had taken no
action" as yet, that the matter had
not been arranged" that it was "all
pending" The Republican city com
mittee is of tie opinion that his an
nouncement OF $50 per pole: that cit
is already arranged" etc, and that the
city could expect $1,000 income this
year therefrom was a tri1e prema-
ture. Whatever money may be receiv-
ed in 1914 from this source evidently
does not apply to future years and
after the current year the lighting
system on these two streets will cost
S3415 more annually than it has pre-
! ViGusly cost.
The Republican city committee does
not in any way criticize or condemn
the installation of the new lighting
system. 1t does take exceptions to
the effort to give the impression that
! the new system isn't going to cost
the tax payers of the city anything

work their way to Warsaw from the
North.
Even now it is possible that the Ger
mans have resumed their outfanking
tatctics, and while keeping the Russian
center busy by making frontal attacks
are hoping to get into Warsaw by the
back door. All that is certain at pres
ent is that the two armies, whose num-
bers can only be roughly estimated, are
engaged in one of the greatest battles of
the worlds history, on a front which
extends from east Prussia to the Carpa-
thians and in which the advantage sways
first to one side and then to the other.
Military experts say that one of the
advantages the Russians retain is that
they hold the right bank of the Vistula
as far west as Plock and thus can pre-
vent the Germans from using the river
for keeping their army supplied, and
that along the whole of the rest of the
front they have rivers and streams to
fall behind when hard pressed. This,
however, all will be changed. the experts
say, when the rivers freeze and the ar
mics can be moved over them as easily
as over the land.

sionally in recovering the ground which

RESERVE OF
DISCHARGED
MEN OF NAVY
Proposal in Forthcom-
ing Appropriation
Measure

Washington, Dec. 24.-Creation of q
naval reserve from among honorably
discharged enlisted men of the navy
is proposed in draft of an amendment
to the forthcoming naval appropria-
ton bill which Secretary Daniels sent
today to the Senate and House naval
committees. IL this amendment
should be enacted into law" said NJ.
Daniels, In statement tonight, two
most important and necessary means
for promoting the efficiency of the
navy will be provided. First, it will
make a valuable reserve organization
of trained men to supplement the reg
ular establishment in time of war.
Secondly, it will increase the eff
cheney Of the regular navy by Offering
a substantial inducement to men to
continue in the service periods of IL.
16 and 20 years."
The principal features of the bill
follow:
Men who have had 20 years Of
honorable service may upon their own
serve on half pay; those of 16 years
service with one-third pay; those of
IL years service with one-fourth pay;
those of eight years service with $50
per annum; those of four years SER
now in civil life who have been hon
orably discharged within eight years
may enlist in the naval reserve and
receive pay at the rate of $12 per an
mum and be furnished with uniform
clothing outfit. Provision is made for
periodical assembling for muster in
spection and drill.
In his letter to the two committees
Secretary Daniels said:
THE records of the navy depart
ment for the last three years indicate
that there is an annual average of
about $3.50 men honorably discharged
from the service, who do not re-enlist
in the navy, but take up civil pur-
suits. The greater proportion of the
men quit the service after only one
enlistment. 1t is believed that the leg
islation herein proposed offers an in
ducement which will cause more of
these experienced men to remain long
er in the regular service and that
practically all of those who do not
re-enlist in the navy reserve. In other
words the number of men annually
lost to the service will be greatly re-
duced. Each enlistment in the navy
saves the government the cost of an
outfit of clothing and the time and
money spent in training and recruit
ing The annual pay of one enlisted
member of the reserve who has had
eight or more years of service in the
navy"
