It is reported from Washington that
the administration regards the recent
battle in Mexico as “a mere incident”
and in the same quarter the sinking of
the Lusitania seems to be a forgotten
“incident.”
Portland is to have a new High school
building to cost $387,684, exclusive of
heating, lighting, plumbing and other
matters not yet let out for bids. The
cost when completed wili not be far from
half a million.
In a letter containing no “weasel
words” Col. Roosevelt has declined the
nomination on a third ticket, and an
nounced that he will support the Repub
lican candidate for President; and the
Progressive National Committee has
voted, 32 to 6, to endorse Charles E.
Hughes for President. Maine voted for
•endorsement.

Governor and Council yesterday Gov.
Curtis would issue a proclamation ca ling
for a special primary to be held some
time in July to nominate candidates for
United States senator to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Hon. Edwin C.
Burleigh of Augusta, to he voted for at
the regular election Sept. 11th. Hon. 1
Ira G. Hersey of Houlton has already an- |
nounced his candidacy, and proposes to j
“vigorously carry his campaign into
every county and town in the State,”
and at this writing he is the only Repub
-ican candidate in the field.
“Mr. Glynn’s ringing words about
peace and prosperity seem just a hit more j
foolish than when they were delivered in i
St. Louis,” says the Brooklyn Eagle. In
fact, we were then at war with Mexico, ;
•and the note to Carranza which President j
Wilson delayed sending until he had got
through with the convention, was fo low
ed by an attack on our troops. In an ad- i
dress to the delegates of the Republican \
State Convention in Columbus, Ohio, June
21st, former U. S. Senator Theodore
Burton declared that the President's
policy of “meddling and officiousness, of
coddling first one bandit and then
another, has so confused the situation in
Mexico that at last the full military
strength of the United States is called
out to meet the danger.” Then as a re
sult of the President’s “watchful wait
ing” and unwarranted intermeddling he
has arrayed all classes in Mexico against
this country; and as Julius Chambers
says in the Brooklyn Eagle: "The Mexi
cans of today are literally insane in their
hatred of the American People.”
The Portland Press declares that the
direct primary system has been vindica
ted, and says further: “It has its faults
which can easily he corrected but it cer
tainly gives to the people a chance to ex
press their will and that is the main thing
after all.” The Waterville Sentinel
takes exceptions to this statement and
says of the primary vote for United
States Senator: “Colonel Hale had a
plurality of 1500 votes but with that he
was 6,000 short of a majority of the
■•'otes cast for the Republican candidates
for the senatorial nomination. In a total
if more then 44,000 Colonel Hale receiv
ed 16.U00 votes. Of the votes cast, he
received little more than a third". And
the Lewiston Journal, which has resumed
its old-time allegiance to the Republican
party, says:
The Primaries proved bungling, ineffi
cient, lull of disfranchisement,and when
all is over have by no means expressed
the will of the people to a degree that
■ould have been secured, in our opinion,
in other ways by less intricate machinery.
Nor is it right that one law should obtain
exclusively in Portland by which changes
in enrollment may be made up to the
ery eve of election, and elsewhere none [
■permitted within the six months period. [
’Why is fish made of the voter in one j
place and flesh in the the other?
There have been a number of illustra
ted booklets devoted to the scenic and
other attractions of Camden; but nothing
to compare with the “Glimpses ot Cam
den” published this year by John R.
Prescott of Newtonville, Mass., and it
should be a source of local pride that the
photographs for the 260 views in ihebook
were by Camden artists. They certainly
ire fine specimens of the photographic
.-art. There are many views of sea, and
shore, worthy of framing, which appeal
strongly to those familiar with the scenes
depicted, and which will give to others a
realizing sense of the beauties of this
section of the Maine coast. Summer
residences, palatial and otherwise, are
seen in great variety—some inland by
lake or stream, some on the seashore and
others perched on the hillsides or hidden
away in leafy groves. Lincolnville Beach
and Northport are given pleasant men
tion and some illustrations, and Belfast
has a paragraph in which it is said to be
"‘rich in examples of Colonial houses,”
and above is a half tone of Crosby Place
and another of the Old Tavern, the E. 0.
Pendleton place in East Belfast. This
beautiful book is sold at the low price of
50 cents; 7 cents additional if ordered by
mail.
That precocious baby of five months
which predicted the suicide of the Kaiser
in August and the cloBe of the war in
-’September, was a creature of some one’s
imagination. This fake is now said to
have been going the rounds of the news
papers ever since last winter. The baby
has been reported as living in St. John,
then WoodBtock, and finally in Houlton;
but Houlton says there is no truth in the
story so far as that town is concerned—
•and it may be added, any other town.
The Democratic platform adopted a1;
St. Louis contains the following on the !
subject of intervention:
Intervention, implying, as it does, mil- I
itary subjugation, is revolting to the
people of the United States, notwith- j
standing the provocation to that course
has been great, and should be resorted
to, if at all, only as a last resort. The
stubborn resistance of the president and
his advisers to every demand and sugges
tion to enter upon it is creditable alike i
to them and to the people in whose name
he speaks.
Very recent history gives the lie to this
statement. The Boston Transcript
makes this very plain when it says:
If Mr. Wilson did not intervene in
Mexico when he sent troops, at a bitter
sacrifice of American lives and of public
money, to put Huerta out and Carranza
in, there never waB a foreign interven
tion in the affairs of nations. That he
did not send them to enforce a salute to
the flag is proved by the fact that he
never secured or asked for the salute,
and withdrew the expedition as soon as
Huerta was out. It was not only an in
tervention, but a “revolting” one.
The object of the expedition to Vera
Cruz was to let in a cargo of munitions
for the insurgents while an embargo was
enforced elsewhere to prevent munitions
going to Huerta. It was said at the time
that these munitions would be used
against Americans, and that has been
the case. The machine gun the Carran
za troops used against our troops June
21st came to him through the kind agency
of this country.
All the States have responded prompt
ly to the President’s call for the mobili
zation of the National Guard. Employers
generally are offering to continue their
pay and keep their places open for em
ployees who are members of the Guard,
or who volunteer, and cities and towns
propose to care for the families of the
men who go to the front. Our soil has
Deen invaded and our people murdered
by the Mexican bandits, of whom Car
ranza is the recognized leader. He has
ordered out of Mexico the troops sent in
pursuit of the cutthroat Villa. Then, as
a crowning outrage, two troops of our
Tenth Cavalry w’ere led into ambush by
a flag of truce and shot down by the cow
ardly Mexicans. Then came the call for
the militia, but at the same time Presi
dent Wilson was quoted as saying that
this massacre was “a mere incident,”
and later it was announced from Wash
ington that there would be no change in
the Mexican policy—“watchful wait
ing” would continue. Next we are told
that if Carranza would disavow respon
sibility for this massacre and punish his
officers engaged in it we would sit down
on our side of the border and let events
take their course. There was no need to
give a Mexican bandit opportunity to lie
out of a dilemma. He would do that
anyway, and meanwhile Carranza has
called upon the Central and South Ameri
can countries for aid ana support and ask
ed Japan to supply him with munitions.
The Democratic Brooklyn Eagle, which
only the other 'day declared its confi
dence in President Wilson and pledged
him its earnest support, takes this view
of the situation.
Time is ripe for action, short and sharp
and decisive. Hours, not days, should
be given to Carranza to declare himself.
And short of a declaration satisfactory,
still swifter should come a communica
tion to the Congress.
Watchful waiting ended with the
transmission of a note. Justice to the
men who are with our colors dictates an
end of shiliy-shallying. There is a price
for peace too high for payment. Pro
crastination has stolen time enough. ,_
SECRET SOCIETIES.

ure of I)e Molay Commandery for Camden,

From Two Grand Medicines in Spring
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Peptiron Pills.
You know that physicians often
give two prescriptions, perhaps more,
for medicines to be taken together, or
alternately or at different times, be
cause desired results cannot be se
cured by one medicine alone.
The most successful combination
spring medicine treatment that we
know of—because perfectly ‘‘compat
ible” and productive of the bes^re
sults—is in Hood’s Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron Pills. The former thoroughly
searches out and expels impurities
from the blood, creates an appetite
and promotes digestion and patural
action of the kidneys and liver, while
Peptiron Pills give the powerful tonic
—they literally “put iron into your
blood”—that just balances the re
quirement of perfect health.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla should be taken
before meals and Peptiron Pills after
meals—patients taking them so re
port the benefit is four-fold—prompt,
positive and permanent.

Pembroke S. Staples, a veteran of the Civil
War, died Saturday morning, June ‘24th, at his <
home in East Belfast after an illness of only '
three days, aged 73 years. He was the first R. ,
F. I). carrier out of Belfast and was serving on *•
his route June 20th when taken ill with acute <
indigestion. A physician was called and ev
erything possible was done to relieve his suf- .
ferings, but without avail. He was born in
Belfast, a son of the late Capt Hezekiah and «
Nancy Staples, and is survived by his wife, •
formerly Miss Mary Stinson, by one son, <
William H. and one daughter, Miss Charlotte *
E. Staples. For some years before his ap- \
pointment as R, F. D. carrier he conducted a <
meat market on High street and in his busi- .
ness relations and in the performance of his <
official duties he made many friends and had J
the confidence and respect of all who knew <
him. He was an obliging neighbor, a kind '
and devoted husband and father, and will be ,
sadly missed. He enlisted for the Civil War <
at the age of 23 and went to Baton Rouge, La„ ■
witl vhe gallant 26th Maine regiment, but was <
taken ill there and sent to the hospital. He
was mustered out in 1863, but re-enlisted in
1864 and was finally mustered out in 1865. He
was a member of Thomas H. Marshall Post, G.
A. R., and of the Waldo County Veteran asso
ciation. The funeral services were held Mon
