Suicide Of q Holden Farmer

Herbert Clark, aged So years, a we'll
to-do and respected farmer living in
Holden, in the Mann hill district, COM
mitted suicide early Saturday morning
in one Of the outbuildings, by shooting
himself through the head with a shot
gun. Death was probably instantane-
Gus. There is little to indicate the
reason for the deed, as Clark was sup
posed to be in good health, and was
considered one Of the most prosperous
farmers in the section. It is believed,
however. that dependency was the
cause, as only recently the woman who
had been his housekeeper for 20 years
left, also boy whom he had employed
for some time.

Names Senators Right.

. Both of Names senators, Frederick
Hale and Bert NJ. Fernald. stood
staunchly by the provisions in the FOOD
bill providing for the prohibition OF

spirits or wine or beer. They also voted

From cottage doors.

Statement by Mrs. Livingston.

In view Of the publicity which is
being given to the women of the Con-
Sressional Union in the city of Wash
ington, who are a very small part of
the great body of suffragists of the
United States, it seems wise for the
chairman of the Maine suffrage cam
.paign committee to make the following
statement:
We deplore most heartily anything
that appears like militancy on the part
of the suftrasists Of the United
States and the National Suffrage AS
sociation of which we are a part, has
always been and is absolutely op
posed to militant methods. We do not
wonder that in this great world
struggle for democracy, when hun
dredS and thousands Of the best young
manhood Of our country are beng
poured into Europe TO make democracy
possible that many women become I'M
patient with the government at it's un-
willingness to make democracy genuine
in our own land. But we do not be-
lieve that militant methods will ac-
complsh that result. The suffragists
of Maine will go on in their peaceful
methods of appealing to the voters for
their support in securing for the wo-
men of Maine full enfranchisement on
September 10th.

Rev. Edward o. Sharpe, pastor OF
the Englewood Christian Church, had
the pleasure of writing and introducing
the following resolution, recently
adopted with great enthusiasm by the
Colorado Convention of the churches Of
the Disciples of Christ, DR.. r. A
Schell. president
I'VE note with much satisfaction the
rapid growth of equal suffrage in the
United States, and we declare our
selves unreservedly in favor Of me
complete and universal enfranchlse-
ment Of the womanhood of the nation
both by legislative enactment and oy
amendments to state and natlonaai
constitutions: and we wish TO see con-
slant agitation till political Justice
shall be done to all citizens without
discrimination as to sex" s
The following resolution was passed
at Dallas, Texas. May 25. by the gem
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church of the United States
whereas, in our history the lnfiu-
ence of women has been invaluable IN
all such moral reforms as temperance
and honest government. and
"whereas, the Presbyterian Church
believes in utilizing every possible
force in the new and large work lying
before this Country. and
Whereas. we recognize that CHRIS
tisn wives and mothers should be Civ
en- an opportunity to assist in the great
work of introducing into civic life more
of the true spirit of practical Chris
tianity.
"Therefore, be it resolved. that We,
the Commissioners to the General AS
sembly Of the Presbyterian Church OF
the L. 8. A., assert our belief in the
Justice. wisdom and righteousness Of
the enfranchisement Of the women Of
our country"

Mark A. BarwiSe, one of Bangor
vel, known attorneys, is strong sup
porter of suffrage and twice within a
few weeks has addressed the members
of Milford Grange upon this subject.
Before a large audience, on the even
ing of July 5, Mr. Barwise sketched
briefly the origin and development OF
the struggle for personal liberty. He
spoke of women in education and SAID
that in every instance where their
power has been exercised, they hao
proven their equality with men.
He pointed out the fact that the
forces and interests which are opposed
to equal suffrage are the same lnflu-
ences which are opposed to the rule OF
the people in general, and then he con-
tinued by answering the objections
which, are so frequently put forward by
those who are opposed to the move
ment.
Mr.. Barwise spoke Of this campaign
for the ballot for the women of Name
as a campaign of education against tg-
norance, Of confidence against fear.
and of reason against prejudice that
the leading ants declare that their
strong ground is the ignorance ana
fear of the people
II consider. said Mr.. Barwise, that
it is a disgrace that American men,
fifty years after they freed the negro,
should he arguing about whether or
not to free their wives, sisters, and
mothers"
