Artificial Limbs.

A recent number of the Berlin
Medical Weekly notes the excellent
quality of work done by United States
manufacturers of artificial limbs. One
case is cited OF subject who eight
years ago In America had suffered am
putation OF both arms and both legs
as a result of gangrene following Sc
we're electrical burns. THE man"
says the medical journal. after six
months practice in exercising the
stumps was supplied with four arti-
fetal limbs by an American manufac-
turer. He became able thea to earn
his living: could walk without limp
and had covered without a cane
eleven and one-quarter milcs In day.
He was able to feed himself. to dress
and undress and in fact seemed to
show no great incapacity." II was
proposed to show him for moral ,ef-
feet to soldiers who had lost limbs IN
battle.

CHASTISER OF CAPITALISTS

Frank P. Walsh, as chairman OF
the federal industrial relations com
mission, made the country sit UP and
take notice by his verbal chastiseme1t
of capitalists. Persons who like
radical utterances applauded him as
a man of fearless courage. Other
folk of the more conservative sort
we're Mortified. and called him an agi-
tating demagogue and trouble-maker.
Mr.. Walsh. who comes from Kan
sas City, Mo-, was appointed as one
of the three representatives of the
public, the other two groups in the
commission representing the employ
ers and the employees. Walsh was
the only one who jumped out of his
class In the findings of the commits
sion. He stood with the three labor
members in the main report OF the
commission assailing capitalism.
Although Walsh went with the la
Dor men, he is not numbered with the
proletariat in Kansas City. He owns

ARCTIC CIRCLE SENATOR

Frank A. Aldrich is hardy man.
and he needs to be in order to fulfill
his public duties. For Mr.. Aldrich
is member OF the upper house of the
legislature OF Alaska, and when the
lawmakers of the territory are called
in session he girds up his loins. packs
his dog sledges and sets out on trip
from the Arctic circle that lasts thirty
eight. days. Thirty-three of these days
are spent travelling on sledge.
Down here this seems like a
hardy adventure, but In Alaska the
inhabitants do not think it anything
out of the ordinary, and Senator Aid
rich has had a life training that makes
him look on 1t as rather trivial. In

about farming and numbering oper-

A Prohibition Representative

Editor Kennebec Journal:
Enclosed please find my check to
apply on my subscription for the
Journal. l take quite a large number
Of papers and magazines but can't
get along without your abK paper
which rings true on the great issue
of Prohibition. The recent election in
California produced some very tan
gled results. A Democrat was elected
United States senator; our governor
is a Progressive and our attorney gen.
eral a Republican and in this Ninth
Congressional District Of which l am
a voter. we elected straight out Pro-
hibitionist in the person Of Hon. Chas.
f. Randall. He will be the first party
Prohibitionist to occupy seat in Con-
gress in the history Of our government
and like Hon. John P. Hale, the first
anti slavery senator Of the United
States who made war upon the slave
traffic in the senate of our nation so
Congressman Randall is to make war
upon the rum traffic in the National
House of Representatives. l am proud
to have taken quite an active part in
the recent campaign through the dis
trict in his behalf and to be his per-
sonal friend. Although we were defeat
ed in our fight for statewide Prohib-
itation. vet we are not in the least dis
outraged, but have decided to launch
another dry" campaign for> the next
state election Of 1916.
The five great victories for Prohib
ition in Virginia, which voted dry
last Septembr and Arizona, Colorado,
Oregon and Washington. which swung
into the Prohibition column Nov. 8,
make IA sovereign states in our gov
eminent under Prohibition. These
triunphs over wrong should gladden.
the heart of every temperance work.
er throughout our land and it Is ques-
ton of only a short time now, in a
decade or so, when the white flag Of
Prohibition will proudly wave over
the dome of our national capital. When
that day shall come, as it surely will.
there will be ushered in an era Of such
moral. intellectual and spiritual de-
velopment as has never been witness
ed in our own great land. Most
thoroughly do I believe that the great
est days are before us, and our ma
ton is yet to see its greatest work Of
achievement in national prohibition,
which is to be.
