The above are the headlines and In
PRODUCTION to the Tebbetts letter in
the waterville Sentinel. It was a
two-column display, first page, and
supposed to further delude the Senti-
mel readers. You will notice that the
Islander is refuted by the facts" and
you will perhaps notice that neither
Mr.. Tebbets nor the Sentinel denies
that the Kennebec Journal published
the list of contributions exactly as it
was filed; hence the facts are that
in filing this supplementary list
(Which might have been prepared at
any time since last September) the
Democratic State committee OBJ
viously evaded the corrupt practices
act and purposely violated its intent.
The law requires that lists of con-
tributors and those promising to con-
tribute shall be filed within fifteen
days after election. In this case one
man handed in, in palpable violation
of the spirit of the law, s2700 for
nearly 81 contributors. And we find
nothing in the expense account cover
ing such agent or collectors remun-
Grafton.
And again most people will be sur
prised that Mr.. Davis, who has al
ways been so generous should actual
ly have contributed nothing to the
campaign fund of his friend, the Hon.
w. r. Pattangall. Striking, isn't 1t,
that he wasn't down for as much as
Dan Mack or Senator Johnson?
lnasmuch as the ISLANDER was re
futed by the "facts," it is plainly evil
dent to all, and the Sentinel SO states
1t, that the "facts" were NOT filed
with the secretary of State.
So far as the SANDER" Is con-
cerned, we told the truth and made no
reference to the source of the funds
which the treasurer of the Democratic
State committee filed as contributions
by Mr.. Davis. Now Mr.. Tebbetts de-
clares that the common suspicion is
that Mr.. Davis got those funds from
the liquor interests. That is his
SANDER and not ours.
Deny as they did, squirm as they
will, II certainly looks to the reading
public as though the Democratic
donkey had got it's tail in a crack.

Significant Union Action.

For the first time in 80 years, there
will be no Labor Day parade in New
York City this fall. The labor
unions have decided to take the
money the parade would cost and use
ii to relieve unemployed union men.
In times past, in New York city,
many thousands of union men have
marched on the first Monday in Sep
TENDER. Their parades have been
spectacular. No money was spared
in making them a success. The
horses in the parade were union -shod
and the men union equipped. There
were union bands and union badges.

The Dove of Peace is busy,
She is almost getting dizzy,
And she wears bandage on her weary
throat.
In these days so dark and trying
She is fussing round and flying
Till she scarcely has the strength to
coo a note.
She must hike across the border
And endeavor to keep order,
Then she hurries to the Asiatic cline
Where the royal execution
Is an honored institution
And they're holding a rebellion all the
time.
Then the ills that threaten Europe
She must undertake to cure up
And remove the mutual causes of dis
like.
She is in a sorry humor,
There's very serious rumor
That the Dove of Peace is going on a
strike.

Already the members Of Rebecca
Emery Chapter. D. A. r., have formu-
lated plans for the celebration of Bid
| defords 300th anniversary in 1916. The
first settlement on the banks of the
Saco river was made in 1915 by Rich
ard Vines. The 50 men in the party
explored the river as far as Salmon
Falls. They selected spot in Lower
Biddeford on the west side of the
Pool, where Richard Vines erected a
log cabin. This was the first habita-
ton of white men on the shores of
Saco Bay or within the present limits
of Biddeford and Saco. The place was
afterwards known as Winter Harbor.
In 1923 there were a number of fami-
lies living on both sides of the river.
The chapter committee elected to ere

bration is composed of Cora Belle
Bickford, Octavia B. Hutchins, Shuah

night he went to the home of a friend,
a gentleman of the old school. He
remarked on the fact that he had lost
the sum of SOS on the circus grounds.
Later on he noticed his host, an esti-
mable old gentleman, with a lantern
in his hand on his way with hesitat-
ing steps to the grounds. The tiger
bucker at once followed hard after
him, touched him on the shoulder, and
said, "Neighbor, where are you 60

on my way to find that cash."

''The kindergarten of today is built
upon the Froebelian system modified
by modern child study and psychic
logy."
In closing, the graduates were urged

work of the organization will be made
in the near future.

Higher Efficiency

"The local postoffice viii waste no

The superintendent OF mails this

the several carrier routes, this map
to be forwarded to the department in
Washington to show just where the
additional carriers are needed. Post
master Young states that as soon as
the additional carriers are secured, 1t
probably will mean the establishment
of a later evening collection.
Assistant Postmaster Joseph Kubey
has given out the information that the

N, 5. KIM HAS
HARD Time IN
BEATING JAIL
Korean Charged With High FL
nance in Tolls but Again Re-
leased on Bonds of $3.50
4-..s {.

NJ. S. Kim thrice convicted of Of
fenses against the territory, who some
days ago was sentenced to one year
at the city and county prison upon
a charge of gross cheat, but who had
been released on bail pending the
hearing OF the case at a higher court,
is again in the tolls, similar charge
having been preferred against Kim
this morning
It is alleged that the Korean in
leaving the court room following his
last conviction, proceeded to Waiki-
ki and later visited the home of J.
A. Bortfeld. a chicken fancier. The
story, related to Captain of Detectives
McDufIie. is that Kim entered into a
contract with Mr. Bortfeld for $500
worth of poultry The arrangement
proved satisfactory to BortfelG, who
states that he was rendered a check
fer $500 on a local bank, with the
understanding that the paper would
not be presented before the following
day Kim is then said to have relat-
ed tale OF hard luck in that he had
hoped to collect $3.50 alleged as due
him from an officer stationed at
Fort Ruger.
Returning to Bortfeld's place an
hour later the Korean said that he
lad not met with success in raising
he money and suggested that Bort
ield let him have $50. taking his
check for the additional amount. The
money was forthcoming and Kim de-
parted
When the checks were rendered at
the local bank it was discovered that
they were not backed by sufficient
funds.
Kim was represented by Attorney
Quinn. who succeeded in securing the
release of his client upon a bond of
$3.50.
The case may come up for a prelim-
mary hearing on next Monday morn
in%
