WASHINGTON, Aug. IL. Twenty-Five
thousand State troops were Saturday
ordered to the border by the War de-
partment All Kentucky, Ohio and YER
mort troops were ordered to move and
all departmental commanders were in
structeG to send tr ops as soon as re-
cruited and equipped.
This is the further outcome of Presi-
dent Wilson's war with Mexico, which
he began with the capture of Vera Cruz
for the purpose of deposing Huerta and
making Villa his successor. Had he
kept his hands off, thus saving the eX
penditure of many millions of the peo-
piles money to carry out his personal
schemes, the sending of thousands of I'M
trained men to the border would have
been wholly unnecessary. The Texas
rangers could have defended the border
without outside assistance and such raids
as that at Columbus would never have
taken place. But the Governor of Texas
was not allowed to put these trained and
acclmated men into the field, and thou
sands of unframed and unacclimated
men, from all walks of life, whose ser
vices are needed at home. are facing dis
ease and enduring discomforts under
orders from the dictator at Washington.

Montville, passed away Sunday morning, July
80, aged 90 years. Mrs. Berry was an old resi-
dent and belonged to one of the oldest families
of the town She had enjoyed quite good health
till the last few months. She had seen much
sorrow in the loss of her husband, daughter
and two sons and other relatives, but of that
cheerful disposition that one could not think
her so old. She was an intelligent woman, a
great reader and interested in all the events
of the day. Mrs. Berry lived alone and enjoyed
life in her quiet way. She was firm believer
in spritualism and looked forward with plea
sure to the reunions with her family. She
leaves one sister, Mrs, Joseph Mason and
several nephews and a niece to mourn her loss.
She was buried from the Methodist church. Re-
marks were made by Mrs. Wentworth of
LDcolnville and burial was in the family lot at
Mount Repose cemetery. The flowers were

Norman Hapgood is writing up the
Wilson side of the campaign for The In
dependent. As he was the editor Of
Harpers Weekly when it was made a
Wilson orgsn-to die from lack of sup
port-he must be regarded as speaking
by authority. In a recent article in
The Independent he says: "Tbe independ-
ence of Mr.. Wilson is high. Nobody
can control him." That will be readily
conceded. Then Hapgood proceeds to
tell how Mr.. Wilson controls Congress:
The Democratic reactionary elements
are very different from the Republican.
They are far weaker and less significant.
Southern Senators, for example, are
largely reartionary, hut they have to
conform; there is nothing else to do;
man like Wilson can make them come
along.
This is interesting - and true. Mr..
Wilson does make the Southern brlga-
diers, and the Northern Democrats as
well, "come along" As the Portland
Press says: "a Northern Democrat has
about as much influence in this admins
tration as has the territorial delegate
from Alaska or from the Philippine Is
lands" A territorial delegate has no
vote. The two M aine Democrats in the
Senate have to 'come along and vote
against the interests of the farmers.
seafarers and shipbuilders Of Maine.
They must vote for the revenue bill the
Southern Democrats are preparing to
make up the deficit this administration
has created by its extravaganza and I'M
warranted expenditures or break with
their party. 1t is anticipated that this
bill will hit the Northern States hard, as
have all the other Democratic revenue
measures. Already the States of the
North and West are paying the greater
part of the federal revenue, Maine alone
contributing more proportionatey than
any of the group of Southern States,
and is getting back much less than she
contributes.
Maine now has the opportunity to send
to the United States Senate two Repub
licans who will stand for the interests
of their State-Hale and Fernald-and
will avail herself of it.

Lincoln tempered his reason and his

NO great victory was ever pur-

But, after all. In the legend we are
making of Lincoln as typical Ameri.

that are not superficial. All legend

carnation Of national ideals, and in the
case OF Lincoln 1t Is based upon the
sincere, the religious democracy of

him, only accentuate for us the warm
nearness OF his nature to the common
man and the common life. Lincoln
himself held to the mystical concep-
tion Of democracy which Whitman ey-
pressed in his poetry and which is the
dream In the heart Of Americanism.
The essential brotherhood Of man
was an intimate and glowing reality to
Lincoln. not a lofty abstraction and
though we betray It and misread II we
must cling to 1t II we are to save the
national soul.
Idealizing ourselves through Lincoln
is more than selfnattery. 1t is a crude
but not ignoble effort to express the
deepest and most pervasive element OF
