Mr. Keene stands for honest government and good citizenship, and Hanson stands for—Hanson, and a one man city government. A rumor was current last Sunday that the White House at Washington had been dynamited, but happily proved tc be unfounded. What started the rumor is not known, but Bryan had arrived at the National Capitol only a day or two before. There is one fire that cannot be laid to the Germans, and that is the fire that destroyed the ice house in Hampden. Re member what Gen. Sherman iB said to have said about war? Well, that is where those who started the European war are going. , The National House Tuesday defeated the Bryanites and endorsed the stand of President Wilson by the substantial vote of 276 to 142. The entire Maine delega tion. in Senate and House, stand for maintaining the honor and dignity of the nation. It is proposed to make Maine a winter as well as a summer resort; and why not? For years past many of our peo ple have gone to Canada to winter carni vals and for tobogganing, snow shoeing arid skiing—sports which may be enjoy ed here as well At Poland Springs the Rickers have inaugurated a winter sea son and have provided winter sports for their guests. Most of the inland resorts have tacilities for ice boating, and the opening of the big game season is an added attraction to many. As for our winter climate,the Piscataquis Observer published an interesting article last week ir which comparisons with the weather reports from many winter resorts were most favorable to Maine. The Montpelier, v’t.. Evening Argus of Feb. 28th says: 1 ‘That the par son had it on the speaker’ at the local option rally and debate in the city hall last night was the opinion of nine out of ten persons as they were leaving the building, based judicially,’” The speaker for local option was Edgar F. Hanson, and his opponent was Rev. William Shaw, minister of Trinity church, Montpelier. The time was di vided between the speakers, each of whom took a half hour for their argu ments and replies, with five minutes as e.osing period for Hanson. The Argus save that Mr. Shaw was given most of the applause, the visiting-speakei little, although when he finished he was hand clapped, apparently out of courtesy. During the height of Mr. Shaw’s denun ciation of local option one particularly enthusiastic admirer shouted, “hit him again.” Out near the front door at the close of the meeting a native of Maine, who heard the debate, was white with wrath because he declared his State had been maligned. Every mail up to the time of going to press brought newspapers, clippings and letters in which reference was made to Hanson’s partin the Vermont campaign, A letter from Bennington says: “The general opinion from Wets as well as Drye is that he has spread ruin for his cause wherever he has gone. In Mont pelier and Burlington his failure was a subject, for derision from all sides. One of our most important men in the State who was at the Burlington meeting has toid me it was pitiful to see his helpless ness and confusion before the prohibition debater. At the close of the debate he was asked a number of questions which he didn’t attempt to answer, saying he hadn’t time. My informant said it was the keenest exposure and most over whelming defeat of the kind he had ever witnessed.” Tne following is from the Burlington Free Press: MAYOR HANSON MEETS HIS WATER LOO. \\ heeler V\ orsts Him in Hotel Lobby. Pub lic Debate Called Off. (Special to the Free Press.) Bellows Falls, March 5. Mayor Hanson | of Belfast, Me,, met his Waterloo in Bellows Falls Saturday. His advertisement challenged anyone to debate. Wayne Wheeler accepted the challenge. They had a heated controversy in the hotel lobby and even the “wets” real ized Hanson was afraid to d-bate and they re fused to attend the meeting and the address was called off. Wheeler closed the campaign here tonight with a full house. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge has, as on many former occasions, done his coun try good service ir. a crisis which involv ed the honor of the United States and the standing of American citizenship. While many realize that President W'ilson’s mistaken Mexican policy lowered this country in the estima tion of other nations and encouraged Germany to play with us as a cat plays with a mouse, when he took his stand' on firm ground in defence of the honor and dignity of the United States it was time to sink all party differences and rally to his support, and Senator Lodge was foremost in so doing. In an address before the Washington Associa tion of New Jersey at Morristown, Feb. 22d, Senator Lodge called attention to the similarity of the issues presented to President Washington in 1793 and the present queslions of neutrality. France had been our ally in the war of the Rev olution and helped us to win our inde pendence, but then came the French rev olution and Napoleonic wars for conquest of Europe. There was a natural feeling at that time in the newly organized Unitea States in favor of France, but as Senator Lodge says: “Nevertheless Washington after care ful consideration and full discussion with his cabinet, determined upon a policy of strict neutrality, and, on April 22, 1793, issued his famous neutrality proclama tion. We had just emerged from the colonial condition, and for 100 years our peace had been involved in the peace of Europe. War in Europe had hitherto always meant war for ,the American colonies. “The policy themlaid down and which he reiterated in his farewell address has been the policy uf the United States ever since.” After explaining how President Wash ington, when his patience was exhausted by the actions of Genet, Minister of the French Republic, demanded Genet's re call, Senator Lodge referred to the ques tion of exporting munitions as affecting neutral rights and sales to belligerents. On May 15th, 1793, shortly after Wash ington’s proclamation of neutrality, Mr. Jefferson, then secretary of State, wrote to the British minister as follows: Our citizens have always been free to make, vend and export arms. It is the constant occupation and livelihood of some of them. To suppress their call ing, the only means perhaps of their existence because a war exists in a foreign and distant countries, in which we have no concern, would scarcely be expected. It would be hard in prin ciple and impossible in practice. “The law of the nations, therefore, respecting the rights of those at peace, does not re quire from them such an internal dis arrangement of their occupations. It is satisfied with the external penalty pro nounced in the President’s proclamation, that of confiscation of such portion of these arms as shall fall into the hands of any belligerent powers on the wayto the port of their enemies. To this penalty | our citizens are warned that they will te abandoned, and that even private con traventions may work no inequality between the parties at war, the benefit of them will be left equally free and open to all.” This policy of Washington and Jeffer son, of which Senator Lodge says, noth- j J ing could be clearer, sets forth the un | doubted rights of citizens or subjects of a neutral power to sell arms and other munitions of war at their own risk to ! belligerents, and the policy has been strictly adhered to from that day to this. ! Senator Lodge also called attention to i ! the ideas of Washington on military i preparedness when he said that: i “A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which a uni form and well-digested plan is requisite; t and their safety and interest require ! ; that they should promote such manu- 1 factories as tend to render them inde- I pendent of others for essentials, partic- I ularly military supplies. Again December 3, 1793 he said to Congress: “If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it: if we desire to secure j I peace, one of the most powerful instru- | ments of our rising prosperity, it must ! ' be known that we are at all times ready I ! for war.” He further clearly defined the issue, ! saying: I “Between the conception of life which ! [MJts money and personal, physical safety j first, and the conception of life held by Washington and Lincoln and those whom j they led, which put freedom, honor and ■ self-respct first, the choice must be 1 made. The greatness of a people is to be found,not in amount of money which can be accumulated, or in the ease and soft-. ness that can be wrapped about life, but[ in what a people stand for in morals and i in character. ‘/The men of Washington’s day who ' were for peace at any price,frankly be- i | cause they were afraid and cared more I for money than aught else, are forgotten, [ but the name of Washington is enshrined ’ and reverenced in the memory of all na- I tions. Let us not depart from his teach- 1 ings or from his high conception of a ' man’s duty and the conduct of life. Let I us apply that conception now and put it j into action without fear or favor.” oryan is Dehind the peace-at-any-price , contingent in Congress and his object is , to defeat the nomination of Wilson and j secure it for himself, or, if that is not possible, for some one of his selection. ! The vote of GS to 14 by which the Senate ' on JMarch 3d tabled Senator Gore’s reso- I lution to warn Americans off armed belligerent ships indicates that Bryan will fail in his purpose.

HOW TO GET RID OF CHRONIC DANDRUFF The only sure way to get permanently rid of dandruff is to remove the conditions that cause it and then keep the hair and scalp in a clean, healthy, vigorous state so dandruff will never return. This beats shampoos, which merely remove the dandruff for a few days at moBt. A. A. Howes & Co. are now strongly recommending Parisian Sage, a harmless, in expensive and quick acting preparation that is guaranteed to act directly on the cause of dandruff and entirely remove it or the pur chase price will be cheerfully refunded. Here is a test no one should fail to try. Get from your druggist a package of Parisian Sage. Rub a little of it into the scalp with the finger tips and see for yourself how the dandruff dis appears, the hair stops falling out and all itch ing immediately ceases. Nothing hurts the hair more than dandruff, so why not begin using Parisian Sage today and be forever rid of it? WARD ONE " ! DEMOCRAT For Mayor EDGAR F. KANSON For Alderman RALPH L.
