CAN WE FEED THEM =?

The last few weeks have been critical
period in the progress ofthe war, and have
shown that the Allies were more than
strong enough to hold their own with the
enemy. Better than that the people of
the United States and the Administra-
ton at Washington have shown that
thew have settled down to determine
ton to win the war regardless of the
cost of blood and treasure. The effort
is now what it should have been months
go. The German propaganda has been
driven to cover. The l. w. w. is getting
its lust deserts. The rain coat swindlers
have been arraigned. We are building
ships. We are making arms, munitions
and equipment of all needed kinds. We
are raising an army which will be large
enough to show Germany her mistake
when she sneered at our military efficiency
and power. We have already force OF
about 10000 brave men on the other
side of the Atlantic who have been DEM
onstrating to the Huns that they have
not only courage but the knowledge of

WALDO REPUBLICANS CAN WIN.

For MANY years Waldo county has been
what we call in politics, a close county.
When the Republicans have been united
and enthusiastic and have subordinated
their personal differences of opinion to
party success, they have won. If we
profit by the lessons taught in the past
we shall win in the coming election, and
that we do win is important, because
US for the greater struggle which is to
come in 1920 When we look at the
situation logically, there is no reason
seen why we should not win this year if
we work for it, an old time Republican
victory in the county and in the State.
Our present State administration from
business standpoint has been good one.
1t has been so good that the Democrats
have not ventured to assail it. Our en-
tire delegation in Congress has stood
solidly with the President The Demo-
Gratis cannot deny that statement. Our
Governor and his entire administration
have supported the President unreserved
~ and even the Democrats admit it.
When we come down to Waldo county,
we think most people will say that our
affairs have been managed wisely and
well. All this being true the bewidered
Democrats who have been journeying
through the State, appealing for votes,
have had but three propositions on which
to base their appeal. First, that their NOM
inee for Governor is a nice man. That's
true. Second, that we must support the
President and that the only way to do
this is by voting the Democratic ticket.
That's nonsense. Third, that Governor
Milliken's management of Redistribution
was unwarranted and that his interpreta-
ton of the so-called dependency law can
not be justified from any point of view.
This is not true, and any person with a
receptive and well balanced mind can by
very little investigation, satisfy him
self that this third Democratic affirma-
ton is a childish invention designed to
mislead the public The memory of the
Oldest Republican in Maine runneth not
back to time when the Democrats en-
deavored to build campaign on such a
Himsy foundation as this. They cannot
win and most of them realize it. Even
the hope that Republicans will vote for
their nominee for Governor is fading.
The Republican party split wide open. in
greenback times and again in 1914. Few
of It's members will, by their votes, again
open way for new discussions to become
rife

The administration at Washington has
expressed willingness to receive, and a
desire for, constructive criticism" for
which it deserves unqualified commenda-
ton Such criticism as has been offered
has been both practical and constructive
and has resulted in bringing about the
speeding up of the war to the great salts
faction of the people The Democratic
candidate for Representative to Congress
from the Second Congressional District
of Maine exemplifies his idea of "con-
structive criticism" by saying publicly
that the Governor of Maine is ga grown
up kid who ought to be in knee pants. :"
The Democratic candidate for the United
States Senate standing on public plat
form, calls the Governor an "old wom-
an" Such expressions from men who
aspire to sit in high places in Washing
ton are not dignified. Maine will not
send these flippant gentlemen to Con-
gress. The need of this crisis is states

THEY UPHELD HIS HANDS.

When the selective draft bill was be-
fore the House of Representatives nu-
merous amendments were proposed and
numerous votes were taken. When the
bill had been worked into form and was
likely to have passage President Will
son urged an 'fessential modification.
A further amendment which would put
into the bill the wishes of Mr.. Wilson,
was voted on, when 1914 Republicans vot-
ed for what the President wanted and IA
Republicans voted against it. On the
other hand only 70 Democrats voted for
what Mr.. Wilson wanted and 118 voted
against what he wanted. And now Br' er
Newbert is wringing his hands and be-
seeching the people to elect Democrats
to Congress to "uphold the hands of the
President in carrying on the war" We
believe Mr. Wilson is too much of a poll
tician to write any letters to the citizens
of Maine, recommending the election of
Mr.. Newbert to the Senate or Mr.. Nc
Gillicuddy to the House of Representa-
tives 1t is written in the records that in
our entire delegation in Congress there is
no Stacker in supporting the President.
Not one of them voted against the ''es-
sential modification"

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

Our Democratic candidate for the
United States Senate is gifted with
most fervid magination and an eXuber-
ant flow of language. He has been re-
beating to the people of this State a most
pathetic story about a lady who lived in
The town of Sanford. She had son in
the Army. Her husband died last De-
cember. The story which this peerless
elaborator tells, pictures the lady as
having fallen into dire distresses by rea-
son of ill-health and poverty and that she
was taken to the poorhouse. Her son,
hearing of this, came to his mothers re-
ief. On arriving at the poorfarm the
mother rushed into the arms OF her son
and expired. While telling this tale the
narrator cannot refrain from weeping,
and sobs choke his utterance until with
the tones of Demosthenes he condemns
the Republican party collectively and
Governor Milliken specifically for per-
hitting this shocking inhumanity.
The following will show how much re-
lance can be placed in the honorable
eentlemans political statements, what
ever they may be, on any occasion.
SANFORD, MAINE, August q, 1918.
Frank J. Ham,
Augusta, Maine.
We, the undersigned municipal officers
of the town of Sanford, on oath depose
hot TO
our attention that certain false statements
are being made throughout the State of
Maine with reference to the care of Mary
O'Brien, a former resident of Sanford,
we desire to make the following state
ment of facts pertaining to her case
After the death of her husband, Mike
O'Brien, in December, nineteen seven
teen, Mrs. O'Brien was paid four dollars
per week by this town as State aid of
soldiers dependents until February eigh-
teenth, nineteen eighteen, when she being
under sixty years of age the town was
not reimbursed for anything paid after
January l, nineteen eighteen. After that
date, although there was no special ap-
preparation by the town for the care of
soldiers dependents, the town of Sanford
paid her rent, store bills and for the ser
vices of nurse for a number of weeks
when we determined that she would re-
ceive better care at the Ross Hospital
and took her there where she remained
for period of about three weeks, during
which time we paid for her board and
| care the sum of twenty-five dollars per
week. At the end of which time her
condition was much improved and we
advised her that she could remain at the
hospital and her expenses would be paid
by the town. She. however, insisted on
leaving the hospital and requested to be
permitted to 60 to the town farm because
she had a friend there by the name of
Nora Hurlihy. She had been at the town
farm approximately week when her
son Eddie came from Portland, took her
from the town farm and removed her to
Old Orchard. She remained at Old
Orchard a short time. Her son then
rented house on North avenue in San
ford and took her there and she died
there. While there was no special ap-
preparation by the town for the care OF
soldiers dependents we paid these bills

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE ARRIVED

On the 7th day of March, 1913, former
President Taft contributed an article to
the Philadelphia Public Ledger from
which we clip the following extract:
"This estimate and point of view argues
a failure to appreciate the real duty of
the United States in this war.
Our Allies do not expect us to carry on
Joint debate with the German and Aus
TRAN chancellors. We should
raise an army of not less than five mil
lion men. The quicker we act in
this view the speedier and more certain
our victory. The draft act must be
amended to carry out such preparations"
From the speech of Colonel Roosevelt
delivered March %, 1918, at the Name
Republican convention, he declared that
nothing but force would win the war and
that an army of five million men should
be raised with all possible speed to fur
nish this force Both before and after
the above dates, Chairman Hays of the
Republican National Committee, in many
public addresses, urged the passage of
all constructive measures necessary to
put into effect twin the war now"
policy. August IA, 1918, General March,
Chief of Staff, appeared before the Sen
ate Committee on military affairs and in
behalf of that part of the administration
known as the War Department said this:
''The policy of the War Department is to
put the maximum number of men in
France with the idea of shortening the
war, The President has finally
announced that the American military
policy from this time on is centered on
the western front and we have declined to
be diverted from that one thing The
purpose of America is to furnish enough
man power to whip the Germans from
now on. The only way that Germany
can be whipped is by America going into
this thing with her whole strength.
It is up to US to win the war.
How long it will take will depend exact
" upon what we do. If we drag along
with this thing and put small force
over there, we will be playing Germany's
game. It is my belief that with an
American Army of 1000, 200 men in
France, under one commander-in-chief,
we can 60 through the German lines
wherever we please" Having been drill
ed for almost six months by construct
i've criticism" these watchful waiting
warriors, have at last climbed to the high
plateau of common sense and have Joined
forces with the Republicans. The Demo-
Gratis have arrived. Now we will win
! the war.

The Democratic candidate for United
States Senator from this State is report
ed to have once said that he had German
blood in his veins. Whether he is of
German ancestry we do not know, neither
do we know whether he ever claimed to
be. But an article printed in another
column of this paper seems to indicate
to us that he is direct descendant from
Baron Munchausen and that 'blood will
tell "-Heredity is very strong in some

FATAL ACCIDENT AT
SAWMILL
Richard Fuller Caught in Ma
chinery and His Body
Ground to Death

John Richard Fuller met a horrible
death at the Boise Payette sawmill
early Tuesday morning, by being
caught in the conveyor of the stack
er and his body literally cut in two
as it passed through the driving gears
"Dick," as he was familiarly known,
was night foreman of the stacker
crew. Just previous to the accident,
he had climbed up to oil the shafting
of the conveyor. His blouse was
caught, in the chain. He at once
called to the men to shut off the ma
chinery, but before this could be done
his body was drawn into the gears
and severed from one shoulder di-
agonally across to his thighs.
Richard Fuller was born in Emmett
May 6, 1897. He spent the first three
years of his life in this city, the next
six years on ranch near Haley.
Then he returned to Emmett, where
he had lived continuously since, ex-
cept one year while working in a cop
per mine at Ely, New. The last two
years he had been employed at the
sawmill and because of his steady
habits and quickness to learn, he had
been promoted to night foreman of
the stacker and dry kiln departments.
He was member of the Methodist
church. He leaves a widowed mother,
three brothers and three sisters, and
to them his death is a sad blow. He
was one of Emmett's best young men.
For many years he had been most
devoted son and brother. Upon him
his mother leaned for assistance and
comfort and he gave it in full mea-
sure. He was her counsellor, comfort
and joy His manly bearing, clean
and upright life and industrious hab-
It's earned for him the confidence and
appreciation of all who knew him. His
oss to his mother and brothers and
sisters is felt also by the community
md the sorrow of his loved ones is
shared by his host of friends.
The funeral at the Methodist
hurch this morning was largely at
ended by neighbors and friends and
and tender tribute to his
many virtues was paid by his pastor,
rev. F. E. Finley. He was laid to rest
n the Emmett cemetery.

From Bernard knipe

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. D. Knipe a few
days ago received notice from the
war department that their son Bern
ard had been commissioned second
lieutenant of his company, motor sup
ply train, First division. Extracts
from two recent letters from Lieut.
Knipe are given below:
France, June 20-My dear mother:
1t has been raining the last couple of
days. We are having quite rest
nowadays for some reason, "a lull
always comes before the storm" Well
nothing makes me mad; I've enjoyed
it so far.
We had another entertainment a
few nights ago, given by our club. 1t
was sure success. After the big
finale was given, the last number of
the show, which was a grand chorus
by all the singers, encore after encore
went up from the audience and they
1.-THE troupe) had to sing about five
songs before they could go off the
stage. The general of our division
heard of the club and its progress and
expressed himself as being very
pleased. He stated that he would
like to be informed when the next
program was to be given as he wants
to attend. Our commanding officer is
going to invite him as a guest. The
next program is to be given Satur-
day night. It's going to be a good
one, too.
Well some work just came in for
me to do so l will close. Am alright
IN every way. Plenty of clothes,
plenty to eat, good place to sleep,
health excellent.
In later letter, Lieut.. Knipe tells
OF a minstrel show to be given by the
members of the supply train. "Our
theater,' he says, "is in an old sheep
shed. We have a stage in one end
and can accommodate good many
people. The admission is 3 francs
for enlisted men and francs for
o1hcers A typewriter program to
