Fine Concert BY Drew's Band

Although the weekly band con-
certs have been drawing very large
crowds at each entertainment, the
concert given last evening by Drew S
Waterville Band seems to have lur-
ed the banner attendance of the
season thus far. More people throng-
ed the park. more people paraded
the walks, more automobiles lined
the curbs on Elm and Park streets
than ever before. The music SEEM
ed to be even of a higher quality,
and applause more spontaneous and
pronounced than at previous occa-
sions. The solo rendered on the
bass horn by Mrs. Velna Goodwin
was received with thunderous ap-
clamation demonstrated by the clap
ping OF hands and continued footing
Of horns. Mrs. Goodwin is soloist
Of extraordinary artistry and well
deserving of the applause which she
received. Vendors Of popuar re-
freshments did a thriving business
while the concert lasted, which was
hardly long enough to suit the music
lovers.

Pleads Guilty On
Liquor Count And Is
Placed on Probation

The case Of Ell Clukey charged
with illegal possession of four cases
of home brewed beer was tried be-
fore Judge Charles W. Atchley Of the
Municipal Coutr yesterday afternoon,
Deputy Sheriff w. V. Nash of Vas
salboro, testifying for the State. Mr..
Clukey pleaded guilty and was given
a straight two months sentence. The
sentence, however, was suspended
and man placed under probation.
This hearing resulted from a raid on
Mr.. Clukey's premises by State Pro-
hibition Officer Lydic and Deputy
Sheriff Nash on July 10. At that time
they found in his home on the Oak
land road four cases of malt beverage
a sample of which was sent to Au
gusta to be analysed Upon receiv
ing the report of the chemist which.
in effect, was that the beer tested
about 1-3 per cent alcoholic con-
tent. Mr.. Clukey was arriagned
After being admoniShed by the
Judge, and after being informed that
the leniency of the court was actual
ed by the old age of the offender,
who. perhaps was less guilty than
others who had been in league with
him, the man was allowed to go.

destruction of the traffic sign.
The radiator of the truck was
punctured and the left steel hanger
which supports the heavy springs
was snapped off. The wind shield
was also broken to fragments and
other minor damages.
As regards the beacon there was
very little of it left that would prove

heavy base, and the base itself lit

shrine of Guadalupe in increasing
numbers. and today they overlooked
all the area around the cathedral,
sweeping in solid stream through all
the roads leading TO the shrine of
Guadalupe, the fayorite saint of
Mexico and dearest beloved of the
Indians throughout the nation.
Every Catholic church within the
limits of the city and its environs
held the greatest crowds that ever
gathered within these edifices and so
it was throughout the country.
With Saturday the last day in
which Catholic priests will off1ciate

ful of that religion are engaged in an
intense movement to avail them
selves to the utmost Of the right of
their church while opportunity per-
mits.
During these extraordinary evil
dences of religious zeal and fervor,
the government firmly continued its
preparations for intlexible enforce
investigation of the proposed opposi-
ton to these regulations in the form
of an economic boycott under
leadership Of the League for Defense
of Religious Liberty.
The executives of the league, who
are prominent Catholics, are under
arrest charged with melting the peo-
pie to disorder by their programme,
which If put into effect, would mean
the purchase of only absolute neces-
saries, so that business and industry
would diminish and the government
suffer embarrassment, possibly suf-
ficient to cause modification of its
religious attitude.
Consideration IS still being given
by the government to the question of
a judicial examination, leading to the
formal arrest of the archbishops and
bishops who signed the recent pas
toral letter, if it is decided that this
document constitutes sedition.
No further information has been
received of the reported killing of the
mayor Of the village of Nochistan by

early June peas steamed in butter

the food and especially of the peas.

Not any," said the steward.

CHANGING NAMES OF

Changing the name of a street
is an easy matter if everyone con-
cerned is satisfied 10 have 1t done.
The latest suggestion Of the sort in
New Britain, having to do with the
changing of Arch street to Main,
and that part Of Main street be-
yond the South church to Park
street. is enough to cause us all TO
perk up an eyebrow and ask
whether ii is advisable.
The Arch streeters, Of course,
bounding along on wave OF gen
eral improvement and seeing moth
ing but big future ahead, are
supposed to be eager for the
change. Main street sounds like
something Of importance; If the
change were made every merchant
on Arch street would feel himself
more important IN the city's whirl
OF commerce. He would be on a
main street and 1t would go by
that name, not under another
yielding no suggestion to che out
slider that the merchant was not
important enough to be on the
city's chief thoroughtare.
A rose by any other name may
not actually be any sweeter; but
there is no denying that under GER
tain circumstances the sound of
the name would be more important
than the perfume.
But the merchants who already
are situated upon that stem of
Main street which would lose its
title OF Importance - how would
they feel about it? Are they to
sit idly by while the Arch street
boosters grab all the psychology?
Are they going to allow themselves
to be relocated to another street
name without a struggle?
The merchants who make both
ends meet on Main street - that is
to say, that portion Of Main street
involved need some sort Of a
boosters club, IKE the Arch street
fellows have. They need the Or
ganizatio in order to stand up for
their rights. if they are certain
they have any.
1t will have to be case of the
Arch street boosters vs.. the Main
street boosters; or else, in the near
future, it may be case of the
Main street boosters VS.. the Park
streeters.

dates. but at no time since then
has greater percentage Of the
teeming population deemed 1t es-
sential to vote.A During the McKin-
ley-Bryan campaign politics was a
religion; both sides were sincere in
the belief that the victory Of their
candidate meant the country would
be saved, and the victory OF the
other would spell certain and alb
solute disaster. The Bryan side
must have been wrong, as what
ever else might be said, the victory
OF the gold standard and sound
money did not lead to the terrible
conditions that were advertised by
the late Commoner. And long be-
fore Bryan died. the free silver
idea had expired before him.
1t was because fool took the
free silver doctrine too seriously,
one who thought McKinley's cleo
ton meant the supremacy Of vest
ed interests and the slavery OF the
common people. that the good and
noble examplar OF the verities
from Canton, O., was assassinated.
The assassin's cracked brain was a
reflection OF the political excite
ment Of the times, OF day when
the unsophisticated population
drank their politics raw, undiluted
with the saving graces of common
sense.
