In 1912 his election to Congress brought

In 1912 his election to Congress brought
US together again as Representatives OF
neighboring districts of our native State,
and during his brief stay here We re-
newed the association of earlier years.
He had definitely severed his connection
with the law and It was his purpose to
devote to his duties the great ability and
experience gained from his years of legal
training. Who can doubt that his SER
vice would have brought large results
and reflected honor both upon himself
and those who sent him here? Yet al
though
The fame is quenched that ! forsaw,
The head hath missed an earthly wreath.
Why should limit be set for service
when there are
So many worlds. so much to do,
So little done, such things TO be,
How know l what had need of thee
For thou vert strong as thou vert true.
o hollow wrath of dying fame,
Fade wholly. while the soul exults.
An self infolds the large results
OF force that would have forged a name.
Mr.. Goodwin had many friends through
out his whole life, and they were incon-
solable when he could no longer be their
leader and friend. The editor of the In
dependent-Reporter of Skowhegan, Mr..
as follows:
The humble and exalted answer to the
same call. We, human atoms that re-
main, presume to dignity, by a some
what deeper reverence, one departure
more than another. He whose hand has
grasped the scroll Of fame drops it, all
but empty at the last of these things
which satisfy life's ambition, and We
note with something more than casual
glance tits not the callous palm of hum
Bile tasks finally unbendng from an i'm
plement of toll.
That we should thus observe and thus
distinguish between our brothers at their
dissolution is VISIONS part. BY this
much We place ourselves above other Or
ders of creating, which note not, when
member falls. whether it be of noble or
unpretentious mien. By this longer
pause, this reverence more profound. this
deeper sigh, We create a prize toward
which men all their lives will strive, and
in SO striving are more like to live wor-
thily and usefully.
/ A life SO strived in and SO lived Is
closed and to it we give this final guer-
don of reverence and respect. This we
may do eagerly. unhesitatingly, as We
shall ourselves be gone before another
of like mold shall come among tho
scenes now occupied by us to claim this
justice at the hands of men.

POSITIVE RELIEF.
FOR CONSTIPATION

The progress Of modern medical
science Is, perhaps. no more force
fully evident than in the simpai-
flying Of many Of the old time
remedies Of past generations. For
instance, the harsh cathartics and
violent purgatives used by our
forefathers to relieve constipation
are now known to be not only
unnecessary but really harmful.
Constipation can be more effect
lively relieved without the discom-
fort and pain these old-time rem
edies occasion.

The debates OF the Dist congress Tellect-
ed a transition period in the thought OF
the Nation. Memories and traditions OF
the Civil War dominated public senti-
ment The animosity aroused, especially
by the consideration of the so called
force bill, sometimes affected even the
social life of Washington. Gen. Wheeler
of Alabama and Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio,
did not hesitate to fight the war over
again in the acrimonious debate on the
floor Happily, the Spanish War fur
nished an opportunity for both these ele-
rnents to unite in a common service to
the country and put an end to such refer
ences to sectional differences in debate
in the House Of Representatives.
The Hall Of the House during this Con-
gress was a wonderful school for young
man. The spectacle Of strong men striv-
ing together In the performance of diff
cult tasks, while not calculated to teach
good manners perhaps. gave an unpar-
alleled opportunity for the study of
human motives and the elements which
make for strength Of character. Mr..
Goodwin made excellent use of this op-
portunity. He mastered the duties Of his
position, showing in the discharge of
them an aptitude and tact which was
distinguishing trait of his character.
On March 4, 1891. the 51st Congress
ceased to exist, and Mr.. Reed was no
longer Speaker Of the House. Mr. Good
win returned to skowhegan and took up
the practice Of law. In 1892 he was ap-
pointed by President Harrison postmas-
ter Of Skowhegan. In 1902 he was elected
to the Maine Senate, and was made presi-
dent of that body. position equal to
that of lieutenant governor in other
states. He was also delegate to the st.
Louis convention, where he was an ar
dent supporter and trusted friend Of
Thomas B. Reed. Aside from these poll
teal duties and a general interest in the
welfare of his town, he devoted himself
to his law business.
OF Mr.. Goodwin's professional career
at the bar. others will speak more at
length. It is enough to say that he was
a lawyer Of great ability and resource
fitness and among the most prominent

on him. In 1893 he was elected to the
Maine Senate and reelected in 1905. At
that time he was chosen president of
the senate. To the Office he brought
the experience he acquired as parlia-
mentary clerk at Washington under the
great Speaker Reed. He filled the po-
sition Of president of the Maine Senate
with conspicuous ability.
In 1912 he was chosen by his people
to represent them in the Congress of
the United States, where this brilliant
man finished his life work.
For more than 20 years / enjoyed his
acquaintance. / knew him as person.
al friend, as brother lawyer, and as a
legislator. / served with him in the
Maine Senate and on this floor in the
present Congress. He had my great
est esteem and highest admiration.
. The last time l saw him alive we
walked together to the Office Building
Of the House Of Representatives at the
close Of session of the House. 1t was
late on a May afternoon. The weather
was charming; the air was soft and
balmy. He seemed in unusual good
spirits and enthusiastic over his work
here. He said to me that he had not
felt in better health in years.
Within a few days the news came
over the wire that he had been strick-
en- at his home in Maine by fatal dis
ease. It seemed almost incredible to
me but nevertheless 1t was true. The
people of the entire State Of Maine
were shocked, and in his death Maine
met with great loss.
Forrest Goodwin, as q lawyer and
public speaker, was known throughout
the State. As lawyer he won early
recognition and went rapidly to the
head of the Maine bar. His practice
was a general ono and extended into
every county in the State AS a con-

New York.-The American dollar Is

exchange markets from American
manufacturers seeking pay for the big

RIGA IN IMMINENT DANGER


London. Sept. G.-The Germans in
their official report claim to have car
ried by assault the fortified bridge
head at Lennewada, on the Dvina
river, between Friedrichstadt and
Riga. This is considered for the Rus
slams the most critical point on their
whole front, for should the Germans
succeed In crossing the Dvina the
Russians would be compelled to evac-
uate Riga and their position between
the Dvina and Wilma. and ever south
west OF the latter city, would be ieop'
ardized.
However, the Germans do not yet
claim to have crossed the river. which
is being defended by a reinforced
army commanded by General Ru2sky
who stopped the previous German ad
vance ON the Bzura river In front o.
