John L. Stoddard, the veteran lecturer,
has written from Germany an Open Let
ter wide OPEN to his old friends in
America, whom he assails with great
severity for not being pro-German. In
this letter he says:
Beside the soldiers liable to service,
millions of young Germans have volun-
teered to drive the advancing foes from
their beloved Fatherland.
As Mr.. Stoddard writes from Germany
he ought to know; and is it because of
the censorship that we have never heard
of the advancing foes" that are to be
driven from German soil7 On this side
of the water we had been led to believe
that after twenty five years of prepare
tion-some say SO years-Germany saw,
or instigated, opportu nifty to set her leg
ions in motion; and to reach Paris, her
objective, by the most direct route she
invaded Belgium, burned, pillaged and
destroyed and committed nameless out
RACES on her people, but was held at bay
by the Belgian army until France and
England, both unprepared for a great
war, could come to her rescue. The
Kaiser's army has not reached Paris, but
Germany has taken possession of Bel
GUM, holds considerable portion of
Northern France, and has driven the
Russians out of Poland and Galicia,
Now, in the words used with the puzzle
pictures in the daily papers, Find the cad
vancing foes' that the millions of young
Germans have volunteered to "drive
from the beloved Fatherland."

The town of Brooks has met with a
great loss in the death of John H. Cor
don, and the county and State are losers
as well, for he was of the type of men
who make up a citizenship Of which
Maine is justly proud. Enterprising and
public spirited he was an important
factor in promoting the prosperity and
moral welfare of his home town, and
was held in the highest regard and re-
spect wherever he was known.

The Saturday Evening Post OF Sept.
18th contains an interesting article by
Samuel G. Blythe on prohibition in Rus
STA. While it is possible for those willing
to pay the price to obtain liquor in Rus
STA by such methods as are resorted to I'M
der prohibition elsewhere the manufact-
ure and sale of vodka has been stopped
and is not likely to be resumed. Vodka is
simply raw alcohol. The revenue of the
government from the vodka monopoly was
almost five hundred million dollars year
in our money. Now instead of buying
stuff to get them drunk the Russians are
buying more clothes and better food and
beginning to save their money. Mr..
Blythe says: when vodka was on sale
the average savings-bank deposits in
Russia were in the neighborhood of from
sixteen to twenty million dollars year
"a year, not month"; In the thirty .one
days of January, 1915, five months after
the sale of vodka was prohibited-in one
month-the former vodka drinkers put
thirty million dollars into the savings
banks in the Empire. They saved twice
as much in one month as they formerly
saved in year. This proportion has
continued since January" That seems
to be conclusive argument for prohibi-
ton, and another point in its favor in
the land of the Gear is the increased eff
cheney of the workmen. Prohibition
does not stop at vodka, but includes beer
and light wines, SO that all classes are
feeling the drouth. Mr.. Blythe says:
''There was strong temperance move
ment even before the decree. The evils
of vodka we're recognized, but fear Of
the loss Of revenue was paramount.

United we stand; divided we fall"
was slogan which led to victory in the
trying times before the founding of the
American Republic. 1t is truth which
applies in all contests in which groups
of individuals are engaged. 1t had pecu-
Ii ar application to believers in Republi-
can principles in 1912 and will be an ap-
propriate motto for those same people to
follow IN 1916.
Republicans and Progressives, regard
less of party designation, and regardless
ofthe attitude of few individuals who
may possibly be actuated by ambition or
other selfish motives, undoubtedly advo-
cate government by law and not by men,
encouragement rather than discourage
ment of individual initiative, intelligent
protective tariff legislation, national pre-
paredness, and Federal aid to good roads
with the responsibility of initiative and
location left to the States so that the
system shall be cooperated rather than
paternalistic. The Democratic part, as
such, is totally opposed to all these poll
ces, as evidenced by both word and act.
Certainly the surest way of attaining
these goals is by coalition of the Pro-
gressive with the Republican party, and
we see no excuse for any Progressive re-
fusing to affiliate again with the Repub-
lcan party. No one man or small group
of men dominate that party, and if ''boss
ridden" is applicable at all it is certainly
applicable to the Progressive and the
Democratic parties, for one or two men
WELD more influence with those parties
than any dozen men do with the Republi-
can party. A division of the people be-
lieving in the same principles resulted in
the election of the present administra-
ton in 1912. A continued division in 1916
may result in perpetuation OF this ad-
ministration. We believe, however, that
majority of the people of this country
are sufficiently wise to realize the i'm
portance of rectification of the mistakes
of 1912 by uniting in the election of the
Republican nominees in 1916, whoever
they may be.

In every national campaign within the
recollection of this generation, the bur-
den of argument of the Democrats has
been that under protective tariff sys-
TEN the American consumer pays the
tax. Although the statement was denied
by Republicans, it was renewed and reit-
Grated until many people believed it.
Now the Democratic administration has
disproved it. Protective duties were re-
>duced or removed. Did the consumer
pay less for his food and clothing? Ac-
cording to the records of this administra-
zion he paid slightly more, even before
prices were affected by the war. The
fact is, therefore, as always declared by
Republicans. that the foreign producer,
the importer or the middleman, puts the
difference in his own pocket. The
American consumer paid no less, but the
A merican producer lost his job.

William Harry Baker of Belfast died Sept.
Sd in the insane department of the Worcester,

1t is now heralded to the world that
the President intends to make national
defence lone of the principal subjects
of his annual message to Congress. Yet
it is not many months ago that Congress-
man Gardner of Massachusetts called at
tention to the unpreparedness of this
country, and particularly the weakness
of our navy, only to be assailed by the
officials at Washington and the news
paper organs of the Administration. But
Mr.. Gardner stood his ground and proved
his case. Neither Congressman Gard
ner nor Senator Lodge in urging that
this country should be prepared, not for
war but for defence, was actuated by a
partisan purpose, but by spirit of pa
triotism, and that their agitation was
justified is shown by this change of
front on the part of the Administration.

AoZler the bride and groom entered the room
where the guests were assembled, the bride
leaning on the arm of the bridesmaid, Miss
Marcia Chase of New Haven, and preceded by
two little flower girls, the Misses Frances
Unity The groom was accompanied by Robert
Rollins. brother of the bride, as best man. The
bride was dressed in beautiful white organdie
trimmed with white lace and carried bouquet
of sweet peas. After the ceremony congratu.
lations were extended the young couple by
the guests present, following which ice cream
and cake were served. During the serving of
refreshments the bride and groom succeeded
in making their escape, unnoticed, in the
groom's auto. As soon, however, as the alarm
was given several of the guests in Joseph
Farwells touring car set out in pursuit, locat-
ing the couple at the home of the brides aunt,
Mrs, L. P. Foster of Unity. Being unable to
gain admittance to the house or to get the
young people to come out the attention of the
pursuers was turned to the groom's auto,
which was supposed to be safely locked in the
nearby stable. After thoroughly fixing and de-
corating the machine the young people return.
ed home. The next morning, after some delay
caused by the dismembered parts of the auto
and decorations, the bridal pair started upon
their honeymoon Of two weeks at Cobbossecon-
tee Lake, after which they will be at home to
their friends at their home in Vassaboro. The
out of town guests were Mrs. Horace Chase,
the Misses Marcia, Vinetta and Frances Chase

were received by Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins, who
have the best wishes of their many friends.
