CARL E. MILLIKEN OF ISLAND FALLS.
A'DOWN the Legislative Halls The voice of memory softly falls As once again the Speaker calls "The gentleman from Island Falls."
He freed our medicines from dope; He kept the arsenic from soap; He made the labels fit the goods And drove the fakirs to the woods. He's now Aroostook's favorite son, His public life but just begun; His high appeal; his love of truth Are benedictions to his youth.
For men like him, there is a need— If right shall ancient wrongs succeed. Then haste the day; the whole State calls "The Gentleman from Island Falls."
