Townsend as a senator has been a sore

this office closer to the people.
His representation has been mostly OF

His attitude in Washington in late
years has been one of independence of the

to vote their independence of independent

"The government of the United States

all with equal rights, with the members
of the house of representatives and OF the
senate, in Washington. acting as the
board of directors
1.-THE running of a government should
be, above all else, a business proposition
for business men"
"The board of directors of govern
ment should act for all Of the stockhold-
ers and not for any favored clique
1.-THE stockholders should be able to tell
exactly where their representatives on
the board of directors stand"
We have quoted for you from the plat
form of William II. Hill. Republican can
didate for nomination for United States
senator by the people of Michigan.
There is nothing new in Mr.. Hills sug-
gestion for the operation of our govern
ment, because it was intended originally
that it not only SHOULD but would
HAVE TO BE operated that way TO en-
dure.
There is something new in the sugges-
ton as coming from candidate for q
place on the board of directors, because
candidates for membership aren't brave
enough, as a rule, to make it known that
theirs is so clear conception of just
what the people have right to expect of
them.
Mr. Hills platform goes farther:
'The ideal man for desk in the con-
gress of the United States" it says, sis
q Woodworking, hard-headed business
man who attends to his knitting, acts as
his conscience and his business expert
ence tell him he should act, and who

Thanksgiving.
PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATloN.
ut has long been the custom of oul
people to turn in the fruitful autumn OF
the year in praise and Thanksgiving to
Almighty God for his many blessings
and mercies to us, and the Nation.
"The year that has elapsed since we
last observed our day Of Thanksgiving
has been rich in blessings to as, az q
people, but the whole face Of the world
has been darkened by war. In the midst
of our peace and happiness, our thoughts
dwelt with painful disquist upon the
struggles and sufferings OF the nations
at war and of the peoples upon whom
war has brought disaster without choice
or possibility of escape on their part.
We cannot think of our own happiness
without thinking of their pitiful dis
stress.
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow VIII
son, President of the United States OF
America, do appoint Thursday, the SOtt
of November, as . day of National
thanksgiving and prayer and urge and
advise the people to resort to their sew
eral places of worship on that day tc
render thanks to Almighty God for the
blessings of peace and unbroken pros
perity, which He has bestowed upon oul
beloved country in such unstinted meas
ure.
"And also urge and suggest oul
duty In this, our day of peace and abun
dance, to think in deep sympathy OF ths
stricken peoples of the world upor
whom the curse and terror OF war has &C
pitilessly fallen and to contribute out o.
our abundant means to the relief OF theil
sufferings.
"Our people could in no better wa!
show their real attitude towards th'
present struggle OF the nations than BY
contributing out Of their abundance tt
the relief OF tho suffering which Wal
has brought In It's train"

mings died early Wednesday morning in

Morvenett Cummings, with whom she
had made her home. She would have

Oliver and Rhoda (Bryant) Swan, who
were residents at different periods OF
Paris and Woodstock. She married
Joseph Cummings, who died some seven
or eight years ago. She had been in
South Paris some five or six years, COM
ing here with her sons family from
Brownville.

and burial was in Riverside Cemetery.

Mans "Sphere" In the Home.

Perhaps this incident ought not to be
related outside of those states where
women are already in possession of the
suffrage:
A young mstron whose home was
formerly in South Paris, now resident
of the suffrage state of California, was
very active in the recent campaign. She
is president of the local W. c. T. U. and
besides women's clubs and other activi-
ties was working hard in the contest for
state prohibition, so that for number
of weeks before the election her time
was more than fully occupied.
Usually when the head-beg pardon,

A Surprise Party.

A very pleasant evening was enjoyed
when neighbors and friends gathered az
Almon Churchill's home to give him q
surprise Friday evening. The surprise
was planned by the family, and not until
a late hour was Mr.. Churchill wise. The
evening was spent with music, stories,
and sociability. Refreshments OF ice
cream, cake. peanut sandwiches. grapes,
bananas, and cigars were served. At
late hour the party broke up wishing
Mr.. Churchill many more birthdays.
Mr.. Churchill received many useful
presents. As he received injuries Q few
weeks ago that have kept him in, he en-
joyed the evening very much.
A poem was written for the occasion
by Mrs. Henry Maxim, and read by her
