by Adjutant Narney were listened to
and W. Folsom Merrill Esq. respond
ed to the greeting by giving warm
welcome TO the citizens, extending the
welcome not only to the members Of
the Post but to those who have pass
ed beyond The children of the Park
School sang THE Soldier Boys and
as they did so a company of bright
lads marched to the platform, CARRIED
in the uniform of the soldier. Under
the leadership of Leon Keyes an army
like drill was well executed and later
the girls from the Park School gave
a graceful flag exercise. Miss Marion
Thompson was at the piano and Nah
Ion Gerrish gave the customary read
ing of Lincoln's address.
The discourse of the afternoon was
delivered by Edward F. Merrill Esq.
in a eforceful and brilliant manner
He did not review the Civil War, but
rather brought to the minds Of the
veterans and audience, ideas for the
common good of the people. Mr..
Merrill told of the strife of the fore
fathers, and starting with their acti-
vtes against the common foes, he
led his listeners through that period
in which personal and religious lib
erty were attained, then political Ii
berty up to the question of slavery,
in which the policies of the several
states differed, although the question
was not slavery, that being simply
the occasion of the difficulty. Touch
ing briefly upon the Civil War and
paying a tribute to both the men of
the North and South, Mr.. Merrill
turned to the problem involving the
liberties of our people and to the
question of social unrest There is
that form of government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people"
said Mr.. Merrill, which guarantee to
the rich protection from the ruthless
hand of the irresponsible arnachist,
and which youchsafes to the humblest
laborer, humane hours, a suitable
place in which to work, compensation
for Industrial accidents a fair share
of what he produces and decent liv-
ing. This is merely industrial and
social liberty. You met the problem
of the continued existence of our ma
ton. 1t is now our duty to meet
this problem of social liberty Mr..
Merrill's closing words were of COM
mendation and praise for the veterans
and tribute to the stars and stripes.
The closing feature of the exercises
was the singing of America and bene-
diction pronounced by Rev. Theodore
Halbert Wilson. The veterans and
members of the Relief Corps were
then conveyed by automobiles to the
two cemeteries where the graves of
the fallen heroes were decorated The
escorts were Skowhegan Military
Band, Company e, and the boys from
the Park School.

attained only a measure of the sue
cess which encompassed the whole af-
fair had they not had the best of
talented and skillful instructors. 1t
is matter of pride that a former
graduate of the school, Miss Pauline
E. Oak, of the class of 1911, and a
recent graduate of the Leland Powers
School, planned and directed this
most successful of school exhibitions.
Fresh from her studies in this very
field of dramatic endeavor, full of en-
thusiasm and entirely capable of
planning the evening to the best en-
ployment of the talents possessed by
these bright young people, the result
is a signal credit to Miss Oak, to all
the participants. and to the Skowhe-

Test of What We Deserve

All of the changes that would make
Skowhegan more agreeable and com
Portable were not touched upon in the
regulations announced by our NUM-
cipal officers last week. Enough
were proposed to test whether or not
we deserve to have reasonable con-
ditions as to the disposal OF waste,
freedom from gambling, or games of
chance that lead in that direction,
sensible use of the highways by auto
mobiles, sidewalks clear of all things
that obstruct pedestrian travel, etc.
Every citizen is interested in the OBJ
servance of these regulations. but is
neither more concerned or less con-
cerned than the selectmen or members
of the Police commission. 1t is their
duty to make the announcement and
to see that the regulations are OBJ
served, but the duty of aiding in the
administrative step is encumbent on
everyone.
The inhabitants of any country or
people of any community rarely get
a government, either better or worse
than they deserve. We shall not be
likely to here in Skowhegan. If we
believe the changes proposed are
salutary and wish them to be perma-
nent we shall have to aid in making
them SO. If they are accepted with
any sort of enthusiasm, there are
doubtless other of our municipal al
fairs that could be similarly improy-
ed uDon

DESTROYER At
CENTRAL WHARF,
FUEL OIL
THE RENHAM WAS sERTHED
THERE AND PROCURED LARGE
SUPPLY FROM TANK CARS ON
THE DOCK TRACKS.

People who did not care TO make y
view the torpedo boat destroyers, had
their desire to view the destroyer type
of vessels at close range satisfied
without going into the bay, for the
Benham. which is getting ready for her
speed trials, was moored at the east
side of Central wharf practically all
day yesterday and was also there last
night. The Benham will get away at
an early hour this morning, after talk
ing on a full supply of fuel oil, from
tank cars which were switched to that
wharf. and which were easily reached
by the lead hose from the destroyer.
While at the wharf, and while load
ing the fuel supply, visitors were not
allowed aboard, but that did not pre-
vent hundreds OF citizens and tourists
from making trip to the end of the
wharf and looking over this type of
Uncle Sans navy.
The Benham is getting ready for
her final speed trials, and these tests
are on the calendar for today or to-
morrow. A board of officers has al
ready report | here for the purpose,
and some record breaking speed is
looked for from this vessel, for, it is
asserted, under ordinary pressure, the
Benham has already exceeded the linl-
Il required of the builders, and is ex-
pected to prove herself one of the race
horses of the navy.
These tests will be made in the Gulf
of Mexico and in Pensacola bay, the
more specific speed tests having been
planned for the open gulf, and it was
asserted last night that the program
for these speed trials will start today
or tomorrow.

TAKES 1900 SACKS or FLOUR
AND LARGE QUANTITY OF COT
TON.

Loaded with perhaps the first flour
for export to Europe, as part of her
cargo, as well as cotton and iron rods.
the British steamship E. o. Saltmarsa
cleared and left for sea yesterday, and
valuation of said cargo is about half
a million dollars.
There were upward Of 5000 bales Of
cotton, about 1900 sacks of flour.
and possibly $50 bundles of iron rods,
all of which is exported for delivery
at the French port named.
Records at the Pensacola custom
house d. not show for some years back
any expectation of flour in sacks to
France. Some little business in this
line is recorded for Honduras, but the
extra large shipment aboard the
steamship Saltmarsh is the first to go
to the continent.
The Saltmarsh cleared yesterday and
went to sea the same day. 1t is ex-
pected that the other L. & N. steamer.
the August Belmont, will be here
shortly, to fill out for Havre with the
thousands of bales of cotton already
in the warehouse and in cars on tEa
city spur tracks awaiting the arrival
of the big steamer.

Mrs Henry Mentz and Miss Mary

this evening for their home in Milton.
Miss McDaniels was one of the ladies'
in-waiting to the Queen of the Carni-

at the many delightful functions which
gave the social charm to the days just
before and during the two day of Car
nival She is a charming and lovely
representative of the social life Of a
most progressive little town, and made
many new friends while here. Pensa-
cola has reason to feel very grateful to
Milton for adding so pleasantly to the
Carnival's success. Not only was this
charming young woman a member of
the court of Priscus XVI, but there
were many other ways in which Milton
showed a most gracious spirit.
