WHY MEN 60 10 SALOONS

VIII WEN w " OHLOONSs-A
man goes to a saloon because all the
bright lights are congregated there.
Probably he wanders in for the same
reason a woman goes to a fake bar
gain sale framed up by a clever ad-
vertisement writer. If a lot of our
married women would control their
jaws. better many of our married men
would not Hnger so long in saloons.
If there were no saloons many would
be tempted to jump in the lake, an
act that would put certain persons in
ecstacy.
If a sincere effort were made to
make the world dry, a lot of fanatics
and reformers would lose their minds
and hobbies and we would have to
build more nUthouses.-T. S.

the opponents or this reform try to
minimize the results of the past fe"
years, 1t is apparent that progress
IL being made toward world wide, uni
yersal Suffrage for both sexes.
This paper is always glad to have
public questions discussed in It's
columns. Communications for or
against Equal Suffrage will be well
come. The question has been de-
bated so much. however, that we DO
not regard "a further discussion OF 1t
as essential. So far as its justice Is
concerned, we consider that too well
settled to admit of debate. Some
question might be raised as to its
practicabilty, altho we have never
seen argument to show that the par
ticipation of women in governmental
matters would be harmful, either to
them or to the nation For our own
part, we believe such participation
would be of immense advantage to
both.
For the sake of the many loyal
women of Maine, who have for years
looked forward to the day OF Equal
Suffrage, we hope that Maine voters
will cast a rousing majority in its
favor on September 10th

A Memory of p. T. Barnum

Barnum's Circus was shown in
Skowhegan on Wednesday, Sept. "a in
1878. We know this because Lyman
Murphy has brought us a supplement
of the Somerset Reporter OF that week
in which the announcement IS made.
This had been preserved all these
years by Mr.. Murphy's friend and
neighbor. Samuel Smith Barnum
may have known the show business in
those days but he had not become the
story teller that he was in later years.
He hadn't acquired confidence; he
only claimed to have with him 200
horses and 1S3 men. Later gu, his
claims would deal with thousands
rather than hundreds The announce
ment however does speak of the ag
gregation as the Largest in Ameri
ca Among the attractions men
toned are educated dogs, dancing
horses. performing elephants, clowns,
Indians, etc. Very many things, in
fact, which are considered appropri
ate in a circus of the present day A
good deal of stress is laid on the In
dian features A thrilling Indian
battle Illustrative of savage warfare
is spoken OF, while the scalping knife.
tomahawk and escaping Comanche
make good head lines. Many of these
features including a horned horse are
shown in illustration.

who remembers attending this event,
AZ years ago, would relate recollsc-
lions regarding It.

SKOWHECAN MAN ON
T0RPEDOED SHIP
James Conr0y Has Interesting Story
to Tell About the Submarine

James Conroy OF Skowhegan has
much of interest to tell regarding his
connection with the present war in
Europe. Mr.. Conroy had the rather
unpleasant experience of being one
among many passengers on trans
port which WAS torpedoed by Ger
man submarine While the boat lay %
miles off Fassenet light 200 miles
from Liverpool and 700 miles from
Germany.
Young Conroy shipped from East
Boston on the transport Canadian"
March "a, 1917. He had taken pass
age on this boat for the purpose of
seeing war ravaged Europe but felt
that he was taking chances by going
thru the war zone. 1t developed that
his feelings were justified For the
first 10 days on the water everything
passed serenely enough but on the
eleventh day things began to happen.
As the transport neared a point OPP
posite the Fassenet light at II % p. m.
those on board felt tremble run over
the boat from stem to stern The
deadly submarine was getting in its
work and the first torpedo, which
caused the ship to tremble, struck
near the wheel house in the stern of
the vessel This was followed by
second which struck mid ships max
ing a terrible noise and seeming to
split the ship in the middle. The
third hit in the bow and the fourth
again struck midships. The ship
started to sink and young Conroy,
with others FASTENED to the life boats
which were being lowered. The
Captain of the vessel named Bullock
was the only man lost, he sticking to
his ship until all were in the boats
went down before aid could reach him
In So minutes after the first torpedo
struck the vessel sank in so fathoms
of water.
The crew was indeed fortunate for
they had been in the life boats but
about two hours when an English pa
troll boat, seeing the rockets sent from
the sinking vessel came to the rescue
Mr. Conroy and all other members of
the crew, numbering 40, were taken
to Queenstown, Ireland. They stay
ed there one day and at lis a. m,
the next day they went by train thru
Ireland and finally landed in Liver
pool. The party remained there four
days and returned to the States on the
"Devonia". They remained around
the Irish coast for three days and
three nights before the Captain dared
make dash across the open sea They
arrived at East Boston, their starting
point, April %.
1t was indeed a narrow escape for
all hands concerned and by going thru
the ordeal Mr.. Conroy is able to tell
some real facts about the power of
the German torpedo and the effect of
the submarine on American shipping
The vessel upon which Mr.. Conroy
had his experience was laden with a
cargo valued at $2,O0000O and con-
sisted of 500 horses, 300 mules, a ton
of ammunition, ton of beef, grain and
hay, all of which went to the bottom
