The Milkman's View.

to America, hears some absurd, ridlc-

stand and gaze at the falls, profound

thing is said, and the effect of the
grandeur goes forever.

Editors Letter Box
A Loss to City Farm inmates.

The anonymous article entitled "A
Visit to the City Farm" which recent
Iy appeared in the Journal, has had
rather more far-reaching and for the
paupers, serious results than were an
ticipated by the writer of the article
One Of the best friends that the city's
poor have ever been blessed with, q
woman who for the past 10 years has
been doing all in her power to make
life pleasant for the inmates Of the
farm, capable, efficient, and innately
gentle and human. her loss will be sin
cerely regretted by those for whom she
has worked SO long and we'll.
Mrs. Estelle Parker resigned her po-
sition as nurse at the city farm on
Tuesday Of this week, her resignation
being the direct result OF the article
mentioned, being, as she said, broken
hearted at the senseless reflection cast
upon her and her work." And she can
not in any way be blamed for taking
this view Of 1t, as she was matron un-
der the previous overseer, Mr.. Jack
son. People in the immediate neigh
borhood Of the city farm realize the
Importance OF the loss to the inmates
OF the farm, and sincerely regret that
this thing should have been so need
lessly brought up. 1t is a recognized
fact that there is no way in which all
the vermin in the old building can be
reached and destroyed, and it seems
pity that politics should be utilized in
a way to cast any reflection on q wo-
man Of the sterling worth of Mrs. Par-
ker

The Roosevelt Movement.

Some Of our contemporaries and
more Of our political friends are dis
playing signs OF extreme peevishness
because n Progressive and three Re-
publicans In Massachusetts have said
that they want Roosevelt for Presi-
dent" and have announced their candi-
Gacy for the Chicago convention on
that basis.
For the present. at least. we decline
to get excited over it. In the first
place. the Colonel will probably dis
avow the plan as soon as he gets a
ter than Col. Roosevelt that he can
never get the Republican nomination
this year II it is to be fought over in
the primaries and state conventions.
II Roosevelt heads our ticket this year
1t will be because the delegates at
Chicago. after going thoroughly over
the ground, decide that he Is tho best
man on whom to unite in the conven-
tion and that he can secure the com.
plete. old-time strength Of tho party
at the polls. To make Roosevelt an
active candidate In the pre.convention
contests means to revive all Of tho
animosities Of four years ago. to in
crease the intensity Of those animosi-
ties as the struggle progresses and to
restore a condition of resentment in
the party which will make 1t extremely

Dear ksnnebec Journal:
Must we submit without protest
to this unreasonable interference
with the rights and privileges we
have 30 long enjoyed? Cannot
Senator eurIeish who has done 50
much for us, do snythins now?
Are the hands of all decent men

political or other ends to serve?
refer to this beiatsd mail SER
vice, without any excuse other
than il serves the purpose Of some
one who does not live here, and is
none Of the business Of those for
whom the rural deiiyery was in
spired and perfected. Can you in
form your readers who is behind
this scheme to delay our mails two
hours and more? Why should we
be robbed Of the opportunity Of
sending mail to the city in time to
connect with the afternoon trains?
Who says that we hall receive our
mail two hours late and have our
outgoing mail delayed six hours?
Would it do any good to write
Senstor johnson? Could not sena-
tor BurIeish persuade Senator
johnson TO act in this matter?
" nothing can be done in this

Dawn Paints the Sky
In COIOrS of Flame

Those who failed to see the eastern
sky yesterday morning as the sun push
ed his way up over the rim of theworld
missed one Of the most beautiful nature
pictures ever painted by the fairy fin.
gers of Dawn upon the canvas Of cloud
and sky.
First there was a faint glow, soon fol
lowed by fringes of delicate pink that
bordered aud broidered the edges of the
higher clouds. Then there were splash
er of color as though the artist had
made palette Of a great patch Of sky
Then far un the sky, tine fleecy clouds
were touched along their edges with a
pale pink applied with dainty brush
while over the rugged SUBMITS of the
cascades the colors slowly deepened
and the soft pink tints spread higher
and higher and further to the north
changing through all the tints and hues
the carnation revels in; here so faint
as to be scarcely distinguishable; there,
where the blue tinged clouds bmshed
beneath the kisses of the sun, yet in his
bed a dainty cerise.
Here a great cloud-zeppein red sym
Dol Of war, sailing majestically alone;
there a fleet Of feathery airships, silken
and soft as poppy blooms, cleaning and
gaudy as the petals Of the hollyhock
that grew in the lang syne in my lady =
garden.
Then the whole east, masses Of pam
pas plumes and the Indian arrow wood 3
lacery of bloom, all done in cloud burst
into flame.
Ra, never in the ages past, had grand
er setting for mis- worshippers to bow
down before.
1t was such a sunrise as this that
Moore had in mind when in his poem,
"The Fire Worshippers, he wrote:
" And see, the sun himself on wings
or glory up the east he springs.
Angel of light, who from the time
Those heavens began their march

Harvey Wells Sends Out
Warming to Beware
Of Cheap" Solicitors

This department is in receipt of in
quiries from many citizens throughout
the state requesting information con
cerning certain insurance companies So
Letting, through the mails, life, accident
and health insurance, and / want to
warn the public before accepting this
cheap kind of insurance that the in
surance commissioner has no authority
to regulate companies and agents other
than those which have complied vita
our laws and are licensed to transact am
insurance business in this state.
Beware of a company which sells in
surance at less than cost for a company
which does not make profit is not a
safe one in which to insure.
| want to advise strongly against lis
tening to so-called adiusters of life in
surancepolcies. A person representing
himself as a life adjuster does this to
create an impression that your policy
is not properly written and then en-
deavors to place one ne is selling. Such
a person is in the same class as horse
thief, and l strongly urge our citizens
in purchasing insurance to deal only
with licensed, authorized agents. If the
agent should be stranger, make him
produce his license for 1916 and when
ever you are in doubt write this office
as this department was created for the
protection of our citizens, and it will
endeavor to advise as to the responsible
ity of the different agents.
