At a recent church meeting in Boze
man, Prof. Atkinson of the Montana
State College presided, and prefaced the
reports from the Women’s Society by i
saying that Kipling or George Ade had j
truly written:
Jn the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
You will find the Christian soldier
Represented by his wife.

This item was evidently written by a
landsman, or he would have used the
word chartered instead of leased, and
perhaps he does not know that vessels
are always equipped with booms.'
The Democrats are to stand Pat. Attorney
General PattangaU is to manage their cam- j

Such is very happily true; and the

that the Republicans will be unable to

Well, we got away with him very han- l
dily tw'ice, when he ran for Congress in
t his district, and expect to keep him
running this year.
In search of Democratic crumbs of
comfort the Portland correspondent of
the Bangor Commercial under the cap
tion of “An Expert Opinion’’quotes “an
old politician” as saying that “the ad
ministration of Gov. Curtis is giving en
tire satisfaction and that there is a feel
ing that he can and will be re-elected.”
On the contrary we hear of a good many
disgruntled Democrats and there is a
leeiing that he cannot and will not be re
elected.
The attempt to draft Judge Hughes
from the Supreme Bench as a presiden
tial candidate recalls a former case in
volving the Supreme Court and the pres
idency. The Electoral Commission !
which seated Hayes was a Democratic
measure, a majority of the Democrats in
both Houses voting for it, and it was to
have been so constituted as to ensure ,
the seating of Tilden by a vote of eight. .
to seven. The commission of fifteen
members was composed of Justices of
the Supreme Court, Senators and Rep
resentatives, and one of the Justices,
David Davis of Illinois, a Democrat,was
counted upon to give the deciding vote.
L i ■ before the commission was organ
ize Justice Davis was stung by the
prtsi iential bee and resigned from the
Supreme Bench and secured an election
to the Senate in furtherance of his am
Lilion. Justice Bradley was then placed
on the commission and he cast the decid- ;
ing vote for Hayes.
Ill the dry campaign now in progress
in California the cry has been raised
that the raisin industry is threatened.
The argument, briefly stated, is that if
prohibition prevails the varieties of
grapes now grown for making wine will
be made into raisins of an inferior
q uaiity and that the lower price at which
t hey n.ust be sold would eventually
drive every raisin producer out of busi
ness. The Pacific Grove Review prints
a statement to this effect from a raisin
grower, not because it believes in it,
“hut only to show the arguments that
rr.ust be met by the temperance forces,
fairly, squarely ar.d dispassionately.” It
says further:
The raisin industry, which is a most
worthy one, is to be used by the saloon
keepers and all their kind as a trench in
which to protect their hides from what
is going to be handed to 'em this tail
or what the temperance folks propose to '•
tiy to hand ’em—whether the time is
ripe for such a tremendous move or not.
The raisin in this case is going to be “the
innocent bystander.”
Bangor is to continue the investigation
into graft in the city government and
nine special committees have been ap
pointed to investigate practically all of
the city departments, continuing the
work of the single committee which re
cently reported sensational findings in
the Street and Pauper Departments,
which have resulted in five arrests of
city officials. The committees are made
up of prominent lawyers, bank officials,
accountants and trained business men.
They will have the power to summon
witnesses and examine records. Many
of the members have bad practical ex
perience in the departments which they
will investigate. The investigation in
cludes the board of registration. Resti
tution has been made in two cases. The
city treasurer has received $137.60, paid
to Henry A. Kelley for hay that was
4 never delivered, and $25 from Kelley,
the amount for which a 25-ton roller was
sold for junk. The grafting in many
cases was so open that the committee
could have had little difficulty in detecting
-
it. No doubt there are cases in which it
will be difficult to get legal evidence of
wrong doing. Suppose machinery has
been bought by a city official, the bill
audited and paid, and the manufacturer
or agent hands to the city official a “rake
off,” previously agreed upon, whether
in cash or by check. If by check, it is
returned to the one making the sale, and
unless be chooses to turn State’s evidence
there can be no record of the transac
tion. That there has been more or less
grafting of this nature there can be no
doubt. Bangor does well to continue
the investigation and should not stop
there, but the offenders should be pun
ished. ,
The Lhurclies.
The Methodist Episcopal conference, which
is conducting its annual session in Worcester
Mass., went on record April 17th in favor of
permitting young people to dance, attend
dancing school, go to theaters or circuses, and
to take part in other forms of amusements now
prohibited. Action was taken in the form of
adopting a memorial which was presented by
the committee on memorials. The. vote was
unanimous.

That there are a hundred towns in which no ■
religious services are held was one of the !
statements made in the report of the Rev. j
Joshua M. Frost, superintendent of the Port
land district at the morning session of the
Maine Methodist conference in Rumford April
13tb. These towns, he said, have on the aver
age a population of 200 people each. This
part of the report brought forth some very
pointed remarks by Bishop Cooke, and there
was a lively discussion of the question of
home missions. Dr. Boswell of Philadelphia, J
secretary of the board of home missions, said
that he favored the old time method of licens
ing local preachers and establishing circuits to
be supplied by these men. In the South this
plan had been followed with excellent results.
During the past year 400 churches have been
erected, and under the direction of the board
the gospel is being preached in 31 different
languages.

Sixty members of Tarratine Tribe, No. 13,
Improved Order of Red Men, under direction
of Orrin J. Dickey, District Deputy, attended
the morning service at the Baptist Church last
Sunday, occupying seats in the middle section
of the auditorium. The sermon of the pastor.
R*-v. J. Wilbor Richardson, was on “From a
Chest of Tea to a Great Order—or 1773 and
1916.” In an interesting and Very eloquent
manner Mr. Richardson s^t forth the ideals of
the order, going back to the origin, the Boston
Tea Party. He brought out the beauty and
strength of the order and in ciosi .g admon
ished all not to let it take the place of the
church in their lives, for no matter how beau
tiful, helpful and ideal the order may be, the
church should come first and is absolutely nec
essary. Members of the order were enthu
siastic in praise of the sermon, saying they
had “never heard anything fo compare with it
in interest.” The Tribe was pleased to have
with them Samuel G. Norton and Peter F.
Welch, two of their oldest members. The
choir, Miss Katherine Brier, soloist, Miss
Bertha Hayes, Earl Talbot and George White,
rendered several very pleasing selections an-t
Miss Brier sang The Pelms. A large number
went to Grove Cemetery after the service to
decorate the grave of John Cochran and of
their deceased members.

OBITUARY. |
The funeral of Mia. Emma A. Crockett of
Winterport, who passed away April 6, 1916,
was conducted by undertaker Frank W. Haley
in his usual artistic manner. The casket and
shroud were of a pretty gray color, and the
life-like appearance of the features of the de
ceased was an agreeable surprise to her many
friends. The floral display was also very
beautiful. Her own faithful minister, Rev.
Aithur J. Lockhart, who with hia worthy
partner had braved the snows and inclement
weather of the awful winter which has just
passed to afford her the spiritual comfort and
consolation for which her mind was well pre
pared, was away at Camden attending Confer
ence, so that Rev. Humphrey of Hampden of
ficiated in a very satisfactory manner. Mrs*
Crockett was the daughter of Stephen D. and
Betsy Ann George, and was born in Prospect,
where her ancestors left an enviable record as
patriotic Americans in the war of 1812. She is
survived by her husband, Capt. Charles Crock
ett, who came from a family who were well
known as efficient navigators of the seas. His
father, Capt. Thomas Crockett, was consider
ed one of the most fearless and successful
shipmasters of his time. Then came his son,
Capt. Geo. W. Crockett, now living in Winter
port, with a record of over 500 round trips in
his own sailing vessel between Bangor and
Boston. Then Capt. Charles A. Crockett, with
his remarkable nautical experience. And to
day we see one ot the sons of Capt. Chas. A ,
viz. Chas. S. Crockett, a pilot on the steamer
Belfast, and naturally equipped for his re
sponsible position. It was always a great
pleasure for Mrs. Crockett to refer to her two
“loyal and stalwart sons”—the other, W'ilber J.
Crockett, the well known moving picture
operator—and the term was not misapplied,
as they were ever ready to do all in their
power to lighten her burdens of life. Mrs.
Crockett was very earnest in her church
work and her presence will be greatly missed
in that direction. She was also a member cf
Eastern Star chapter, the members of which
attended her funeral in a body and rendered
the beautiful and impressive service of their
uruer. in me ugui ui uie gimi irums re
vealed today the change from death into a
never ending spiritual life—from mortality to
immortality—becomes interesting. It becomes
grand and ever glorious and in some instances
(as with this dear sister) desirable. She want
ed to go, and prayed fervently to be “taken
Home.” Her recital of the many spiritual
visions which she beheld was beautiful and her
release from the diseased and worn out body
was desirable. The greatest crime, and the
severest penalty known to human law, is the
sacrifice and forfeiture of human life, and yet
we are all under sentence of death. Other
events may or may not occur; other conditions
may or may not exist, as we may be rich or
poor; we may be learned or ignorant, we may
be happy or wretched, but we all must die.
The verdict has been pronounced by the in
exorab'e decree of an omnipotent tribunal,
without trial or opportunity for defense, with
no knowledge of the accuser or the nature and
cause of the accusation. Without being con
fronted with witnesses againBtus we have been
summoned to the bar of Life and condemned j
to death. There is no writ of error or appeal; j
all must be relinguished—beauty and deform
ity, good and evil, virtue and vice—all share
the same relentless fate. The young mother
cries passionately for mercy for her first born,
but there is no clemency. Science tells us
that humanity itself is destined to extinction—
that sooner or later this world will become so
cold and its energy will be expended to such
an extent as to be unable to longer support
human life. Then will the soul helplessly beat
its wings against the bars, shudder and disap
pear. So by turning to the silent future we
will rely with just and reasonable confidence
on the most impressive and momentous assur
ance which was ever delivered to the human
race, viz: “He that believeth in Me though he
were dead, yet shall he live and whosoever
liveth and believeth in me shall never die.”
—J. H. Eagleston.

Annoying Troubles of Heart, Stomach j

To look at Mr. David T. Remington,
of Springfield, Mass., one would say,
“lie is as sound as a nut.”
And so he is, thanks to the new
combination of purifying and build
ing-up treatment embodied in Hood’s
Sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills.
These two remedies working to
gether are accomplishing wonders.
Mr. Remington is well known, hav
ing been 21 years in the State House
in Boston as Senate Doorkeeper and
Sergea n t-a t-A rms.
He had annoying sypmtoms about
his heart, stomach and digestive or
gans. His old friend. Senator George
rl. Putnam, of Lowell, urged him to
take a course of Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and Peptiron Pills, which he did, and
says,—“I never felt better. I can
walk from my house down town and ;
back, a mile and a half each way.”
These medicines are sold by drug

,a SYSTEM ■■ '
The One Writing Method of handling credit accounts.
With each purchase, we furnish a sale slip which shows the goods •
chased, the price charged for each item and the last previous balance
footed up.
There can be no error in handling your accounts as
You Always Know What You Owe
We furnish a holder for the sale slips. We prefer that you file everx
in this holder—a glance at the last one will tell you what you owe. These
become an expense account, without effort on your part.
Will ou let ua explain our McCaskey System to you?
