There is heap of abuse of Henry
Ford running through certain news
papers today, and mostly. in our opinion,
it is unmerited. We are not for Henry
Ford, for United States senator. on the
Republican ticket, firstly, because we
doubt that he is a Republican in prin-
ciple, and secondly, because we doubt
his availability for the duties of states
manship. But we do believe that he is
loyal and patriotic American citizen,
as thoroughly devoted to the welfare OF
his country as most of his fellow cit.
liens. Like many other original think
ers, he may have ideas that do not run
in the ordinary grooves. but this need
not affect the basic fidelity of his char
acter We should remember that the
dreamer of today is often the prophet
of tomorrow, whose dreams sway hu-
mainly. Our objection to MIR. Ford is
that through his candidacy the Demo-
Gratis are attempting to foist member
of their party upon the Republicans and
we cannot stand for that sort of camo-
fiage. Our readers will bear US out in
the statement that we have refrained
from the discussion of party politics
since the beginning of the war. We
expect to continue that policy until the
war closes and our deviation from it in
the present instance will be but slight.
We cannot be nnmindful. however, of
the fact that when the war is over is
sues of superlative Importance will have
to be settled, some of them, at least,
along lines of traditional party policy.
When this time shall have come we
feel sure that Mr.. Ford could not rep
resent the traditional policy of the
Republican party in the United States
senate, hence we are not for Mr.. Ford.
We do not presume to advise our read
ers, unless they are seeking advice, but
our own opinion is that of the candid
ates for the Republican senatorial NOM
ination, Truman H. NewbeIry is pref
cradle. He is and has been for many
years man of large affairs, he is lib
orally educated, he has had experience
in governmental procedure as Assistant
Secretary and Secretary of the Navy,
and has that spirit of democracy which
should render him sympathetic with the
aspirations and lives of all classes of
people. He is. moreover, Republican
of unquestioned fealty and may be de-
pended upon to support Republican
ideals if elected to the senate.

DEATH BY SUICIDE
TUESDAY P. NJ.
Was n Native of SkOwhegan

Failing health undoubtedly caused
George w Steward Of East Front st.
to take his own life, Tuesday after
noon last. His body was discovered
shortly before 4 o'clock, hanging from
a beam in the stable connected with
his home above referred to, by his
niece Mrs Frank Akeley. Mrs. Axe
ley had been talking with Mr.. Stew
ard few minutes before, and he
seemed to be in about his usual
spirits. He had been i'll for six or
more months, and his disease was
such that he suffered considerable
pain The little prospect of an i'm
provement in his health doubtless led
to this rash act. DR.. Richardson was
summoned, but found life extinct.
The deceased was born in Skowhe-
gan, and had lived here except for a
few years passed in Auburn, where he
was employed in the shoe shop, and a
short residence in Fairfield Center.
For several years he was employed by
Skowhegan as night watch. Mrs
Steward, formerly Miss Mary Allen,
survives, and there is a sister living
in California The deceased was in
his 10Th year Funeral services will
be observed tomorrow, at II o'clock,
Rev. C. H. Mckinney officiating, and
burial will be in the North Cemetery.

girlhood days were passed here, and
who has often visited in Somerset

Yonkers in that state for many years.
Her musical studies have been kept

sion being the opening of the Third

toned here that Yonkers led all the

Red Cross Home Service Department

When the last draft call went out
the Home Service Section of the Red
Cross was placed at the disposal Of
the men who left for Camp Devens on
March 29th Now that the time is
approaching for the second draft the
Red Cross wants every man who is to
be called to the colors to come into
the Home Service Section and have the
whole matter of allotments and in
surance explained to him The i'm
portance of attending TO this before
leaving for the cantOnment cannot be
over-estimated. In the confusion Of
getting settled at camp and the num-
Der of things that must be done in
the first davs there is not the oppor
tunity to gi%~ each rookie minute
directions as 70 making out blanks.
With the tremendous amount of york
that the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance is handling daily, mistakes in
filling out blanks cause endless delays
in receiving the money from Washing
ton. II these blanks are filled out at
the Red Cross they can then be taken
to camp and signed in the presence of
the commanding officer
For the purpose of explaining the
system of allotments and allowances
and the war-risk insurance issued by
the government. there will be mass
meeting of drafted men and their fam
lilies at Municipal Court Room, June
25th at o'clock.
At this meeting the charts illustrat-
ing the War Risk Insurance bill will
be explained, and the opportunity CIV
en- to ask questions concerning the
rights of an enlisted man. All men
expecting to be called to the colors
are urged to attend, and to bring their
families.
This information service is by no
means confined to drafted men 1t is
for the benefit of all men in the ser
vice and for those who contemplate
Joining The families of any men in
service are welcome at any time. The
Home Service Section is solly for
them The families OF soldiers of our
Allies are equally welcome with those
of men in the American army and
navy. There is always "open house"
at the Red Cross.
