That Peace Treaty.

We are strenuously opposed to any
treaty or covenant with foreign nations
that does not safeguard American inter
ests and independence. We are opposed
10 any international alliance that permits
our brave young men to be forced into q
war across the seas In which our nation
has not any interest, with nothing to
gain and everything to lose. Our Ameri-
can interests and independence cost too
much to be surrendered to the greed and
domination of an autocratic or pluto
cratic idealism.
We are opposed to that greedy, august
and diabolical 8 to sophistry. II Is an
idea based on greed and despotic rule,
and is wholly un-American, and we have
we'll founded reason to suspect that any
representative of our republic who ad-
vocates that idea is actuated by sinister
motives. We admire the manly, CON
sistent course OF our worthy american
Senator Fernsld and wish all Of our Con-
gressmen were actuated by the same
philanthropic ideas that have so far
characterized Senator Fernald's course
In Congress. A league as at first pro-
posed and without proper reservations
to secure the peace and perpetuity Of our
republic, may, to use the words of an
eminent statesman years ago, be charac-
terized asa league with Satsn-a GOV.
enant with hell"
We say-Haill to Fernald. The other
Hale we have not uttered yet.

A "Near" Oxford Bishop.

At the General Conference of the Epis-
copal Church held in the city OF Detroit
q week or so since, Right Rev. Frederick
J. KinsmaD, Bishop of Delaware, re-
nounced the highest honors of his church
"becsuse be said he found too much
Unitarian vsgueness' in it. His resig-
nation created no small sensation in
church circles and hits Oxford County
only because Bishop Kinsmsn is sum-
mer resident here. In fact his letter OF
resignation was written last summer
while in camp in the town OF Woodstock.
Bishop Kinsman received most Of his
education in England. After gradual
ing from st. Paul's School in Concord,
n. a., he went to Keeble College, Ok
ford, where he took both his bachelors
and masters degrees. This same Ok
ford had been a storm center In the
Trsctarian movement, which took quite
q number of Anglican diyines, including
John Henry Newman, into the Roman
Communion, and this atmosphere may
have influenced DR.. Kinsman at that
time. After leaving Oxford he was rec
tor few years then taught church his
tory in the Divinity School at Middle
town, Connecticut, and sfterward in the
General Theological Seminary in New
York City. From the Middletown insti-
tuition be received his degree OF Doctor
of Divinity. He is a scholarly man, In
clined to be a recluse.
He is unmarried and takes two or
three hundred mile hikes into the wilder
ness sum mers, that is how he came to be
in Woodstock last summer when he con-
cluded to resign his post of authority In
the church.
The concluding part of his letter de-
finlng his position follows
sis the creed worth defeDding? "Are
the sacrsments divine mysteries?" us
Holy Orders a sacramento" l believe
the only answer the Church should make
to all of these questions to be q prompt
and emphatic "Yes"; yet have come to
feel that our Communion by its nom
committal attitude virtually answers
emo" Hence have no choice but to
resign nv place and to declare my with
drawal from the ministry; the bishops
have no choice but to accept the resigna-
ton and proceed to my deposition, since
resignation for these reasons involves re-
nunciation, at least, of the discipline
and orders OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
1 ought not to regret doing what, IN
der the circumstance, Is necessary and
right. do sincerely regret that the &C
ton will cause pain to many and sever
ties and associations which i supremely
value. Though forced to give up the
ministry of the Episcopal Church, have
not ceased to appreciate the depth and
reality of its religious experience, or to
believe that through 1t our Lord gives
His grace to all who approach Him In
good faith; nor have ceased TO recog-
nize that 1t is training school for saints
and is making valuable contributions to
American Christianity. My personal
feelings for it can only be those Of graft
tude. To il alone owe the convictions
which have led to my present action.
With great respect and affection, sim
cerely yours,

Eastern Maine Is becoming q moon

Blanchard, an Oldtewn man charged
with manufacturing stills contrary to

revenue agents from Boston had seized
half dozen whiskey stills In Oldtown
and neighboring towns during the past
few days. Blanchard was held 10 81 900
bonds for appearance In court In Bangor
next February. Various ingredients were
used In manufacturing moonshine, In
Guiding concoctions of potatoes, peaches

nsed the stills are said to have admitted
that the results we're disappointing. A
mixture Of molasssr and sugar gave the
best results.
