CHRONICLE gets
EXCITED over
MACKINAW

The San Francisco Chronicle is try
ing to make a mystery story OF the
movements OF the American steamer
Mackinaw, which arrived here Jan
uary 20 from Nanaimo, B. c., en- route
to Vladivostok, and sailed Sunday
January %, for the Russian port.
Why the Maekinaw came here to
take on a new commander, is asked
by the Chronicle, which seems to
think il quite mysterious proceeding
One OF the reasons is that her deck
load shifted coming down from Mana
limo, another that she was short OF
coal and water, and a third that she
needed repairs made TO her engines in
port. '..
T The Chronicle also says Capt. Fred
Burnham" is the steamers new com
mander. The right name is not Burn
ham, but Eurman, and he is not new
commander, but was in command here
last fall when the Mackinaw sailed
from this port for Vancouver Octo-
Der 80. .~'--
Capt. Eurman was smashed up in
the rough weather met by the Mack
NAV en- route from here to Vancouver
last fall His leg was badly wrenched,
and he left the ship and went into
hospital on the mainland After he
was wen. he reported for work, and
was sent here on the Wilhelmina to
take command of the steamer, as
Capt. Thomas Peabody himself was
not well. Capt Peabody signed as
skipper at Nanaimo. s.
James Flood, one of the Mackinaw's
owners, told a Chronicle reporter
there was no mystery about the
steamers movements. Il ordered the
Mackinaw to Honolulu nearly two
weeks ago." he said, land the new
skipper was sent down on the Wilhel-
nina. Captain Peabody will come
home. / told him not to make Homo
lulu until Thursday, when the new
commander would be there" Il -.

HENRY FORD.

Henry Ford has been called a jack ass and a clown because he hired a ship and sailed across the sea to stop the most frightful slaughter the world has ever known. The big thing in his action is not the question whether he will or will not stop the war, but the fact that he is willing to try! It was by trying that he got where he is. But still he keeps on trying.
 In the face of overwhelming odds, in spite of a worldwide criticism, he is willing to undertake the greatest job that ever fell to the lot of a human being in the worlds history. He brushes aside the thousands of columns of newspaper criticisms, he ignores the public utterance of so- called statesmen, he sets his face to- ward the most glorious goal that any man ever hoped to achieve-and goes on his way Trying.
 So far, he is the only person who aas taken a definite step toward end ing the war. True it may not be the right step, you get that by trying. The men who sit in swivel chairs and sheer and make funny jokes about that man Ford are not taking steps of any kind to end the war. The job looks too big and too hopeless to them. 1t looks big to Ford and may be it looks hopeless to him. But he's got the nerve to try and spends his own money. Asking aid of no man. What a nation this would be, if each industry could be headed by a Ford who was willing to try, what chance would any other nation under the sun have with us. What if more of us were willing to try and less of us were slaves of convention and creatures of habit. There is a word in the dictionary called can't, leave it there. Never use it. We'll we've been Henry FOrding" it for the past twelve years, and expect to keep right at it, until the Powers that be, and the Engineers that direct it, awaken to the fact that Seward is the Begin ming and Final jumping off place of construction of Government railroads ,n Alaska. In the meantime, we have plenty time and help to serve you Best treatment, best price, and sure 1 ly the Best Goods.

the Ford out.
Hon. Harvey D. Eaton is showing

attention, especially from the children.
When the judges change four driv'

Waterville. Me-, Aug. 29-(SpeciaD-
The Republican rally at the City Ope-
ra House Tuesday evening packed the
house to the doors and was one of the
most successful that has ever been
held in the city. Congressman Pat
rick H. Kelley arrived in the city on
the 7:35 train and was met at the sta
ton by a delegation of the citizens of
Waterville in autos, headed by the
Waterville Military Band. Accompa-
nying Mr. Kelley on the train was the
Augusta Hughes and Fairbanks Club
to the number of about 500, accompa-
MED by an Augusta band. They form
ed in line and headed by a platoon of
police, marched to the Republican
Club, where the banner with Hughes
and Fairbanks names was raised and
then they proceeded to the hall, where
fine selection by the band was rem
dered.
The assemblage was called to order
by City Clerk ]. A. Letourneau.
Mr.. Letourneau in opening the meet
ing, spoke in part as follows:
Il feel it an honor to preside at this
meeting. While we are now prosper
Gus, when the war closes the country
will go back to where it was. It is
now false prosperity. The common
people are, however, paying dearly for
it. They will have to buy revenue
stamps for everything. If you vote for
\the Democratic party you will regret
it. 1 take pleasure in introducing
Congressman Kelley Of Michigan"
Congressman Kelley
CONGRESSMAN Kelley received an
ovation that nearly lifted the roof.
The reporter gathered as much as
possible Of the Congressman's power
full address as follows:
"It has been two years since 1 spoke
to you before. Time fairly flies as we
grow older. So we are here approach
ing another election. Business thinks
that they come too often, but not so
when the Democrats are in power, but
if we were, it would be we'll to let one
pass. The elections, however, are typ
ical OF our government, and for intelll-
gent voters it is the best in the world.
1 had rather be governed by my neigh
bors If I can pick them out.
This is an accounting time. Every
one wants an accounting-wants to
know just what has been done and
what is proposed to be done. Every
one should satisfy himself. We have
got to have parties, even the Demo-
cratic party. We can only entrust
these public questions to parties. The
Republican party took this nation
from the time of the war and lifted it
up to the heights. We Republicans
thought as we could elect one presi-
dent at a time we thought we could
elect two, and the result was Wilson.
And now that they have got in they
want to stay in and we have to deter
mine it. If we put the entire Republi-
can vote behind Charles E. Hughes he
will be the next President, and 1 see
no reason why every Republican
should not support him"
i The Democrats were always telling
