No one will question but that this is
S'the home of the brave" but there must
be grave doubts, as to whether il is 1.-THE
land of the Free" We have seen the
railroads driven into bankruptcy; enter
prise crushed and business hampered by
t he powers that be; the legislative branch
of the government dominated and init
Undated by the executive; ''war tax"
imposed upon people who are at peace
with all the world; factories closed, and
thousands upon thousands deprived of
Employment by carrying out the pol
i cy of a President who has no practi-
cal knowledge of business himself and
who turns deaf ear to all who do not
avor his impracticable ideas. Business
men and corporations are subjected to
IN inquisition, harassed and hampered in
every direction, and because of this the
cost of living mounts higher and higher,
while the list of unemployed grows long
er and longer. Under such conditions can
this be considered free country?

his youth and of the days of III ao13v1i
One by one death has claimed the MEM
bers of the family circle until few are
left. There is nothing to look forward
to but the final SUMMONS, with perhaps
many months of semi-invalidism or suffer-
ing. When Death comes in such peace
full guise that the transition is but fall
ing asleep, even the sorrowing relatives
come to realize that it is merciful end
ing of well-spent life. But when a
young mother, with everything to live
for, is taken from devoted husband
and the little ones who had come to bless
their home, the affection is one hard to
bear, not only by those to whom she was
nearest and dearest but to the friends of
her girlhood and young womanhood and
the many others who knew and appre-
ciated her worth.

TREAT PIRATES AS PIRATES.

Germans complain that there is against
them conspiracy of international law
and American sentiment. They declare
they are being outrageously treated.
There may be some persons who have
been inclined to maintain a neutral atti-
tude, but what are these to think now
when German submarines begin war by
torpedoes on hospital ships and merchant
vessels?
Germans have boosted they will isolate
England and starve her. Evidently they
are doing their level best to do it.
But such step will be against Amer
leans as we'll as Englishmen. The mo-
ment they begin to sink Atlantic liners,
that moment there will come revision
of neutrality and application of an old
rule. The new neutrality will place a
nation that commits acts of outlawry in
the category of the outlaw, and the old
rule revived will treat as pirates those
who murder under the name of war
A situation undreamed of in modern
history is fastening to crisis through
the acts of Germany IN. Y. Herald.

Have You Ever Been To Bermuda

Bermuda, SO highly recomm ended by the late
M ark vain and by President Wilson, is in
deed Paradise and land of rare beauty of
scenery, fragrance, flowers, ideal climate, sun
shine and happiness. Poverty and crime are
quite unknown to Bermudians, but politeness,
rare hospitality, simplicity and honesty are
characteristic of them. Most of the Hotels
have grown from small boarding houses be-
cause of the proprietor's efforts to please the

AUGUSTA, Me-, Feb. 4. decided op-
position developed at the hearing before
the committee on legal affairs this after
noon on the bill presented by Represen-
tative Leonard A. Pierce of Houlton,
which would provide more liberal OBJ
servance of Sunday.
Representative James A. Comedian of
Portland, who appeared in favor of the
bill, said the laws were being constantly
violated with no interference on the part
of the authorities, and he believed that
these laws should be so changed that the
people would be allowed to do those
things legally which they were now
forced to do illegally.
Rev. Wilbur F. Berry of Waterville,
secretary of the Christian Civic League
of Maine, who led the opposition to the
bill, declared that the passage of the bill
was but an entering wedge aiming to
commercialize Sunday.
Representative James W. Greedy of
Portland denied that the motion-picture
people of Maine were behind the meas
ure,

When the Presidents ship purchase bill
provided for the payment of $50, 900, 900
to the German owners of ships tied up
in neutral ports the German press was
very gracious; but since, in his efforts to
save the measure, the President has con-
sented to amendments that forbid this
contribution to Germany the newspapers
of that country are virulent and virtually
unite in calling it a backdown before
Great Britain on the part of President
Wilson. The semi-official Cologne Gaz-
cite Says: American neutrality is only
thin veil behind which is concealed
eagerness to do England a good turn.
Knowing this, we will be guided by our
knowledge. If America respects only
brute force, then we shall give full play
to brute force" Germany is apparently
looking for trouble.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cSnnot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

The Shoe Situation.

Jobbers continue to display conserva-

trading has shown little improvement.
Army contracts still keep some factories
busy, and in regard to the recent Rus
sian inquiry for 100000 pairs of mil
itary coats, one manufacturer has been
located who is willing to make up 300, 900
pairs at under 81 pair. This price is
considered reasonable, and an actual
transaction for this amount may shortly
result. In mems shoes, tan calf finds
most favor, while in women's wear cloth
top effects are as popular as ever. Gen.
orally quiet conditions are the rule in the
leather market, especially in shoe leath-
ers for domestic consumption. -Dun's

Danish SCROFULA
Hoods sarsaparilIa cleanses the
Blood, Skin Troubles Vanish.

Scrofula eruptions on the face
and body are both annoying and
disfguring. The complexion would
be perfect if they were not present!
This disease shows itself in other
ways, as punches in the neck, in
famed eyelids, sore ears, wasting of
the muscles, a form Of dyspepsia,
and general debility.
Ask your druggist for Hoods
Sarsaparilla. This great medicine
completely eradicates scrofula. 1t
purifes and enriches the blood, re-
moves humors, and builds up the
whole system.
Scrofula is either inherited or ac-
quired. Better be sure you are
quite free from it. Get Hoods Sar-
saparilla and begin taking it today.
