COuntry's Ills
Listed by Minister

San Francisco, July 29-(AP)-The
Rev. II. G. Nitz, missionary to the
Apache Indians, told the Walther
League in convention here tonight
that after diagnosing the symptoms
of our countrys ailments there Is
but one remedy-"Jesus Christ, the
Savior of the World"
The political situation in our
country is far from the ideals en-
bodied in our constitutions; there is
too much corruption, graft and lnJus-
.tice," he asserted. Financially our
country Is reckless. Socially we are
all but bankrupt. Our family life is in
a sorry state. And reliSiously we are
degenerate.
"Worldly ideas and ideals have
crept into the church to such an eX-
tent that it is often difficult to tell
the worldly -conformed Christian from
the child of the world. Family wor-
ship is fast disappearing. Individual
Bible study is at a low ebb.
styles of dress are becoming ever
more bizarre, indecent, unChaste. And
And this is a mark of degeneracy.
for the apparel oft proclaims the
man
"The only help for America Is
Jesus Christ and His gospel of gra-
cious salvation. The only workable
method toward a desired change is
the preaching of the Savior, with
which simple story the Apostles en-
tered the centers of idolatrous and
adulterous heathendom and turned
the world upside down And the re-
formation with all its blessings is en-
tirely the result of the telling of the
old. old story of Jesus and His Love
That story alone can win America
for Christ"

Judge Dolbier Has
Remarkable Career

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Kingfield, Me, July 29-An/ inter-
esting and we'll known character of
Eingfield and vicinity is Judge o. c.
Dolbier. For more than quarter of
century Judge Dolbier has sat on
the WOOL in that Northern
Franklin county town.
Four Governors have come and
gone in the State of Maine since the
Judge was first appointed. Governor
Llewellyn Powers was the first to
name Mr.. Dolbier as judge. That
happened October 25. 1898 He was
reappointed by Governor William 7.
Cobb, by Governor Frederick Plais-
ted and lastly by Governor Milliken.
1t would seem that this appoint
ment was a sort of inheritance from
his father, Col. William Dolbier, for
he, likewise, made judicial. as well
as a military record for himself in
the county. He was a wise and hon.
orable judge. and for 27 long years the
fathers footsteps.
Judge Dolbier Is an interesting
man to talk with. His "reminiscences
bring back well known characters Of
the past, and he has keen sense of
humor which works in finely in tell
ing stories Of the past. A strong
character, striking personality,
logic, humor and belief that the OBJ
ject of punishment should be reform
atory rather than vindictive. In
many cases, especially where youth
full offenders are concerned, upon the
payment of costs. the fine and jail
sentence have been suspended during
good behavior.
Judge Dolbier was born in King
field, Nov. 21, 1859, the eighth and
youngest child of Colonel William and
Martha r. Dolbier. He received his
education in the common schools and
has always resided in the town in
which he was born. He is liberal in
his religious belief. independent of
politics and a member of the I. o. o.
+. and the Knights of Pythias. Mr..
Dolbier is now a farmer, contractor
and builder and he has always taken
an active part in all that pertained to
the welfare and interest of the town.
In 1898 Mr., Dolbier was elected town
treasurer, which position he held
eight years. Since that time he
served on the school board 16 years,
has been town auditor for six years,
served as one of the. selectmen for
eight years, being a member of that
board at this writing. and was deputy
sheriff during the years of 1894 and
1895. Thus, as may be readily seen,
a good part of Judge Dolbier's life is
and has been passed in public office.
Judge Dolbier says the person who
sized him up the best was a cousin
of his, a very estimable lady, who
said, on hearing of his appointment
as Trial Justice, that Chester knew
enough all right but wasn't dignified
enough to be judge. However, the
Judge has always striven to be just
in all cases and whether dignified or
otherwise has always rendered the
verdict according to the dictates of
his conscience and his best judgment.

Nations Governors
Express Appreciation
CnurtesieS of Maine

On motion the following Gov
ernors were appointed by the Con-
ference as a committee to draft for
adoption by the Conference suit
able resolutions thanking the peo-
pie of Maine for their courtesy and
generosity while guests of the State:
John Hammill, Iowa.
. Albert c. Ritchie, Maryland.
Adam McMullen, Nebraska.
At the conclusion of the itinerary
which followed the Conference ses-
sions at Poland Springs the follow
ing resolution was unanimously
adopted:
We, the members of the Cover
nors' Conference, convened at
Poland Springs, Maine on Monday,
June 10th, having been the re-
cipients of the generosity and court
esy of the people of Maine for sew
eral days, hereby express our ap-
probation to the officials, the clt1-
zens and civic organizations of the
State of Maine, who have extended
us such whole hearted welcome and
generous hospitality. From the
time we landed at Portland until
the itinerary closed at Camden we
have been most royalty received.
While most Of US had some
knowledge of the rich and varied
resources of Maine, including its
wonderful climate, yet since we
have visited every section Of the
State and have seen at first hand its
great resources, its rapid develop
ment and the fine type of its
citizenship, we can without reser-
walton say that the State of Maine
far exceeds the reports we had be-
fore coming here.
We wish to extend our thanks to
the officers and employees of all of
the public service corporations that
have afforded us transportation.
These schedules have often been
changed for us, and special trains
have been furnished for our COM
fort We thank most cordially the
hotels and the civic organizations
which have contributed SO literally
to our comfort and pleasure. We
are grateful to the citizenship for
that warmth of welcome so much in
evidence wherever we went. While
the State of Maine can truly boast
of its natural resources, and its fine
summer climate, we feel that they
even have greater reason to boast
of the fine type of citizenship which
greeted us on our visit.
1t is impossible for us to re-
member the names of every man
and woman, or Of every organiza-
ton, which contributed to our
pleasure on the trip, but we do de-
sire to express our most profound
appreciation to each and all.
Finally we wish to express our
appreciation of Governor Ralph O..
Brewster, who has been our gracious
host. He has given US his entire
time, devoted his energy and en-
thusiasm to the one thing of max
ing pleasant. the visit of his COL
leagues. We shall carry away with
us grateful memories Of Governor
