An 1872 Commission.

Hiram P. Farrow, Esq, of this city re-
Gently found among some old time papers
an 1872 commission as second Lieutenant
of one Aaron Lewis, whose residence at
that time Mr. Farrow has failed to locate,
although he has diligently endeavored to.
Realizing that this old and we'll preserved
official paper was very interesting today
and would grow more valuable, he has
presented it to Thomas H. Marshall Post,
G. A. R., and to the A. E. Clark Sons of
Veterans, after it was neatly framed
gratuitously by Fred E. Ellis. The paper
bears at its top the National seal and the
following text

He is therefore carefully and diligently
to discharge the duty of second lieutenant
by doing and performing all manner OF
things thereto belonging. And l dc
strictly charge and require all officers and
soldiers under his command to be obedient
to his orders as second lieutenant.
And he is to observe and follow such
orders and directions from time to time

NEXT MONDAY WE VOTE.

In supporting the President in his eff
forts to carry on the war, the Maine dele
CATION in the present Congress have been
400 per cent loyal. We unreservedly ad-
NIT that the Democrats of the State of
Maine have been, individually, as loyal
as the Republicans have been. We do
not know what Democratic congressman
from Maine would have done. if there
had been any, since March 4, 1917. We
IAN only guess about that after looking
over Mr.. McGillicuddy's record during
the two years prior to that date. When
ever he took the trouble to vote on war
measures it was his habit to vote wrong.
If ANYBODY doubts this statement we re-
fer him to the Congressional Record, or,
we will quote the proof on demand. 1t
seems quite plain that Maine Democrats
are not urgently needed in Congress to
uphold the President. We can depend
upon the Republican delegation who are
now on the Job. The President may need
them again, when he cannot get support
rom Denl, fduettt, hleehohJ OiionAp
Clark and 1871 other Democrats, reckon
ing the little and the big in the House OF
Representatives. Changing the Cover
nor for two years is not proposition
which can now reasonably appeal to the
public mind with any force. Mr.. Milli-
ken's administration of the business at
fairs of the State has been so good that it
has not been assaulted. The charges made
against him relative to re-clasSificatlon
and the so-called dependency law have
been shown to be entirely unfounded.
The Democrats who have COMMISSION
ed themselves to speak in public for
5heir party in this State have not pre-
scented single reason why they or any
other Democrat should be elected next
Monday. There are many thousands of
fair minded and honest Democrats in the
State of Maine who. we believe, do not
mentally approve the methods of cam
loaigr which the present leaders OF their
party are using. From a stenographlc
report of candidate Newbert's speech at
Bath, Aug. oath, we call the attention of
our readers to the following: There
are iust two men in Maine who will vote
&or Miiliken. One is an old man who
rant change his mind. One is man who
mas softening of the BRAIN" The man
who said that aspires to place which
has been filled by such men as Hamlin,
Fessenden, Blaine, Frye, Hale and Fer
maid, all Republicans, and by such dis
tingulshed and able Democrats as Reuel
Williams and James w. Bradbury. Only
two votes for Milliken? Our message TO
the Republicans is this: Make the num-
Der 5000 in Waldo county.

AGED, INFIRM AND DEPENDENT.

During the progress of the present polit-
made of the administration of the So
called dependency law. This criticism
has formed the major part of the political
capital of the Democratic campaigners
and of the three or four Democratic news
papers of the State. Very few of the
States have made any statute provision
ents and ours was one of the first to pass
such law. This law was passed by a
Republican Senate and House and was
approved by Republican Governor.
While it was being considered in the
legislative bodies most of the Democratic
members manifested little interest in its
enactment. They were supporting the
President in a watchful, waiting policy
which then was the first tenet in their
political creed.
Briefly stated as to its most important
provisions, the dependency law prov ides
that cities, towns and plantations shall
raise money to be applied to aid in the
support of the wife, aged, infirm and de-
pendent father, mother, or other member
of the household of which soldier, sailor
or marine is the head, and children under
the age of fifteen years, or of any soldier,
sailcr or marine. The law specifies how
much pecuniary aid may be given and if
given in accordance with the provisions
of the law, by cities, towns and plantations
it is provided that they shall be reim-
bursed by the State. 1t can be readily
seen that to be entitled to aid under this
law, dependent father or mother must
be "aged, infirm and dependent. Crit
cism is, for the most part, based upon
the Interpretation of the word Gagged. "
If person should say that man or a
woman must live 100 years before being
listed as "aged," that person would be de-
rided, and we can readily conceive what
would happen if noisy band of Demo-
cratic juveniles should say Ego up, bald
head" to soldier, sailor or marine who
was only 20 years old. Between the ages
of 20 and 100 it seemed to Governor
Milliken that there must be some period
where in legal sense, at least, person
should be considered as aged. He asked
the advice of eminent legal authorities
and followed the advice given him.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result. Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to Its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts through the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system. ....
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

Over Nine Thousand Boys and
Girls In Club Work.

Every county. IN the State has boys
and girls in the ranks of club work for
1918. Almost five hundred clubs are rep
resenting the most industrious organiza-
lions of the State. A great many clubs
are having regular meetings once or twice
month which prove to be of the most
interesting kind. Discussions are held
and the parliamentary practice of the
boys and girls in some clubs is excellent,
far surprising that used by many older
persons at their business meetings.
However, the big thing which is al
stake is food production and conservation.
The goal which is set for 1918 is 500, 900
worth of food to be grown or saved by
the members enrolled. What charge can
be made against club members who are
doing work, patriotic to the letter,
toward the winning of the war? In fact,
the whole State organization of clubs
may we'll be called Liberty Food Clubs. J"
The enrollment is divided as follows,

My Camp Fire Dreams

/ pondered all alone at midnight,
BY my camp fire with embers aglow,
And visions SO bright seemed to come
to my sight,
And thoughts that are dear seemed
to flow.
A form slowly gathers in the darkening
gloom
OF one whom love fond and true.
And the world seemed in tune as
gazed at the moon,
Then my poor, aching heart beat
quicked for you.
And then in my fancy thought could
Your blue eyes with love light
agleam.
And as the stars shone clear you were
calling me dear
Why, love, you were the form in my
dream
AS linger here, wonder dear,
Why God has willed it so;
For our paths stray apart, and it breaks
my poor heart
To think Of the day I must go.
Now, this is my dream as the camp
fires gleam.
And the pale silvery moon shines SO
bright
'Tis dream OF love that was sent
from above
And it shines through the camp
fires so bright.
