had 81 tipped out of the wrong side of
the bed. We couldn't lay it to a might
before" because this is prohibition
state But we have noted the abnor-
mality and the tenacity with which the
up-river sufferer clings to one idea
His favorite word, under these attacks,
is Organ; his favorite topic Senator
Burleish, and Of late Col. Fred Hale.
We used to know a one-idea man of
spasms, who, as soon as he was loaded
with booze (pretty often) always at
tempted to walk the bridge rail, some
80 feet above the water. Sometimes he
succeeded fairly WE'LL but more often
fell off on the bridge. In that manner
he advertised his Jag" to the commu-
nifty. But one day he fell off on the
wrong side of the rail. 1t was no great
loss to the town but some of us missed
the performance.
Even so we should miss the Senti-
nels periodical "spells"-they are
amusing and do no harm. They per-
hans relieve the state of mind of the
sufferer.
Our afflicted up-river friend seems
obsessed with the conviction that ne
must prove to his readers that Penrose
and Barnes were in full control of
the recent Republican committee
meeting; that they dominated every
action. and that these men embody all
the fiendishness that the Democratic
papers have charged: that they are the
"old guard" opposing everything good,
embracing everything bad, and that the
progressive element of the Republican
party is as plaster in their hands.
We do not know the source of in
formation on which the N. Y. tribune
based the alleged editorial that the
Democratic press is quoting with such
elee, but we note that the Independent
press discovered no such phenomena in
their news reports.
If these charges by certain Demo-
cratic papers were true we should
agree that men whose very names
have become odious to millions of Am
orleans" should withdraw from the
lime light or be given the hook. But
the bald charges of the Democratic
press by order of political leaders, and
the indignation of an excited Republic
can editor under the spell Of these
charges, are all the indications we have
of the Republican party in the arms Of
the "old guard"
And as about the only act Of the Re-
publican national committee was to Sc
lect the time and place of the next
national convention. we fail to see the
hand Of Penrose or of Barnes. The

MiIdew Manse.
BY Belle K. ManiateS.

by belle Il. Mdnlates.
Mildew Manse was an old tumble
down house in the best part of town,
and the people who lived in 1T were
questionable and as good as gold.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hazard came there as
bride and groom, and with each addi-
ton to the family there followed an
addition to the house; also mort
gage. Motheaten and widowed and
mortgaged though it was, MiideW
Manse was a real home. The six chill
dren, some Of them grown up. were

the nine year old twins. Heck and
"Herk." Then there was princess
Aline." who lived next door and was in
and out of the house quite intimately
because all the family adored her and
10 loved her, though her parents dis
approved because 10 was earning only
eighteen dollars a week. And there
was Joan Lynn, an enterprising opti-
mist who came there to board when
her father went to Alaska, and whose
wits helped the Hazard family out of
many difficulties.
The people of the story are delight
full: you will laugh with them, and
cry for them-and you cannot help
but love every one Of them. They will
please you and help you to face the
bitter things in life more bravely and
more cheerfully.-Little, Brown & Co.

calling of the convention one week in
advance of the Democratic convention
could hardly be termed 'standpat"
movement, for it's assertion of unity,
strength and confidence was distinc-
lively progressive and open, without
resort to strategic arts.
If the convention of Republicans at
Chicago is controlled by Penrose,
Barnes, or by any group of men chars
ed with filling the ranks of the "old
guard" then the Democratic conven-
ton one week later will indeed have
opportunity to take advantage of a
progressive sentiment throughout the
country. That would be a Democratic
opportunity which our frantic up-river
neighbor seems to have overlooked. His
bad attack has led him into premature
explosion of the possible thunder which
more astute Democratic papers have
been reserving for the week Of the
national Democratic convention.
But, as we said before he can't
help it and if he does make big cry
over a little wool you should forgive
him.

Your Neighbor's Business.

Those who favor local self-govern-
ment" for any city or town that can
by hook or crook. mostly crook, show
a majority vote for licensed rum shops,
and those who believe that one town or
city has no right to a voice against an
evil business or immoral influence in a
neighboring city or town, should read
the following plant by the Lubec
Herald:
An emissary from the bar room
across the Narrows visited the Herald
office Thursday evening, as a result of
the editorial printed last week. He
was slight, sandy complexioned youth
with red hair and sharp eyes, and he
looked too bright to be mixed up with
such a dirty business as the carting Of
some with him.
His visit was for the purpose of
bringing message to the Herald from
the proprietor of the place to the effect
that there was money to buy five gal
Ions of kerosene and a box of matches
to be given to anyone who wanted to
set the place afire, as there was ample
insurance on it, and plenty of lumber
to be bought for erecting another one
should a conflagration take place
During his stay he gave the Herald
much valuable information, part of
which is reproduced as follows
First, that the owner of the dive pro-
poses to sell as much rum as he likes;
Second, that the boatmen who ferry
the stuff across here are licensed by the
license board of the State of Maine and
cannot be interferred with in the car
rying Of passengers who may have
rum in their possession, as long as the
captain does not know IL.
Third, that they are not afraid of the
U. S. Customs laws or Of any deputies
that can be produced, as there are
plenty of places to land the booze with
out trouble from anyone.
Fourth, that the Dominion Govern
ment does not care how much rum is
sold at the Narrows, and in conse-
quence they will do as they please

Japan Honors Christians,

tine OUTLOOK
1t is said that only a quarter of one
per cent of the fifty million people in
Japan believe in Christianity. Hence
the news is all the more surprising
that half of the decorations to educa-
tors bestowed at the coronation of the
new Emperor have gone to Christians,
Writing from Kyoto. where the
GROWING took place. the Rev. Otis
Cary, Secretary of the American
Boards Comparatively Japan mis-
sion. points out the contrast between
this event and the coronation Of the
late Emperor. Then Christianity was
strictly prohibited. Now among those
honored, posthumous Court rank ia
given to Nessina (the Japanese lad
who ran away from Japan, was educat-
ed in America. and returned to work
Tor his country and to Yamamoto, who
united with him in founding the
Doehisha University. Other educators
who were honored include President
Harada, of the Doshisha; DR.. Motoda,
OF st. Pauls College (EpiscopaD;
President Naruse, Of the Congrega-
tional Womans College; Mr.. Ebara. a
Methodist; and two women, one at the

Methodist school-all Japanese, Of

The Law, Not the Official

Yesterdays editorial under the cap
ton Collecting Taxes" aroused con-
siderable interest, for which we are
glad, and seems also to have been mis-
construed to the prejudice of our local
collector, for which we are sorry.
Only a very hasty perusal could lead
the reader to such an erroneous con-
clusion. Our article was concerned
with town, not city, collectors, and the
writer had in mind instances which
had arisen in towns alone. One of our
main points was that the work now
done by town collectors could be done
as well or better by town treasurers.
obviously, therefore. the editorial could
not, as it did not, apply to cities where,
as in Augusta, the Collector ana
Urea surer are one and the same per-
son.

Fifth, that the so-called captains"
of the boats cannot be made to lose

boats down that are equipped with

This is the grounds taken by them.
AS to how far they are justified in 1t.
the Herald cannot say.
We have called attention to the facts
and stated the case as it is.

the matter any further, or shall we
continue to be a dumping ground for

week or five cents day, or much
more? When you have thought for a
moment on the probabilities of the
total it may not do you any harm to
remember that more than four million
people in devastated Poland will not
devote single penny this year for
any thing in the line of pleasure be-
