er the city was distranchised OF not, mas
much as q ere Democratic
and wop IN cleo
| ton nov make
good deal u Demo-
Gratis whether We. lis alnchised
or not, inasmuch as it is a Democratic
city; and with this change of situation
comes decided change of mind on
the part of the Hon. Mr.. Jones.
He is now dreadfully anxious lest
the city may be DISTINGUISHED. 1t
is certainly to be hoped that some
means may be discovered by which
to convey to the Mayor in manner
sufficiently official to meet his ideas of
propriety the fact that there is a vacancy
in the Board of Registration of Water
vile which must be filed, if filled at all
by appointment by himself. None of
the ordinary methods of conveying such
intelligence of course will avail. Possibly
if the Supreme Court should formally
convey to Mr.. Jones their opinion that
vacancy existed that might be sufficient.
We hope the Portland Flour Dealers
Association, especially their president,
have sufficiently taken to heart the sting
ing rebuke administered them by the
Argus yesterday for publicly insulting
the Hon. Darius H. Ingraham, mayor of
of Portland, by refusing to accept the
man he was pleased to select to inspect
the flour in which they deal. On reflec-
ton we think they will see that the rea-
son they give for refusing to accept him,
namely, that he does not know anything
about flour and therefore is not compe-
tent to inspect it is absurd. He is a
Democrat, has been stamped with the APP
proval of Mr.. Ingraham and the Hon.
Daniel Gallagher of Ward 2, not to men
ton other lesser lights of the board of
aldermen who have given him their
cordial support, and that is enough.
What right has an association of insig-
nifcant -four dealers to question the wis
dom of such a combination of intellect as
that? Mr.. Ingraham knows better than
they what kind of man a flour inspec-
tor should be, and it is the sheerest pre-
sumption on their part to hint other
wise. Before election Mr.. Ingraham
mapped out plan for promoting trade
and commerce in case he was elected,
and this appointment of a man to inspect
-four who doesn't know anything about
flour is doubtless one feature of it. 1t
must not be interfered with. The King
has issued his edict and he doesn't pro-
pose to be insulted by having its wisdom
questioned. The penalty for that sort of
thing, as the Argus intimates, will be
Imprisonment in the county Jail. The
best thing for the flour dealers to do is to
draw up humble apology ere it be too

The father of steam navigation in
Maine was Capt. Seward Porter of Port
land. He was native of Freeport and
one of eleven brothers most of whom be-
came masters of vessels. In 1922 he
moved to Bath and built a steam saw
mill, the first in this state. The steam
mill, not proving profitable, he turned
his attention to steam navigation fitting
out his first boat the Kennebec, the same
year. The first notice of d steamboat in
Portland paper is the following dated
August IS, 1922:
The Steamboat Kennebec will leave
Union wharf at o'clock Wednesday
morning, for North Yarmouth to spend
the day. Will return on Thursday to
take Passengers to the Islands as usual.
If required will stop at Weeks wharf to
receive and land passengers. Will also
should sufficient number of passengers
apply, go to Commencement the day pre-
ceeding, and also on the day of Com
mencement. For tickets, apply to MI.
A. w. Pinkham's store.
Many of the old residents of the city
will recoIect this wonder of fifty years
ago and the rush to the islands in the
steamboat 1t was the old hull of a
flat bottomed craft, in which Capt. Por-
ter had placed small, imperfect engine
of passage to the islands without sails
or oars, drew crowds of passengers from
the little town whose population was
then less than one third of what it is now.
1t was no uncommon occurrence for the
machinery to refuse to work with suffi-
Gent power to drive the boat against the
tide and the wheeling engine had to be
assisted, by the passengers treading the
paddle wheels round, which was easily
done, as they were open at the top. 1
have no knowledge of the final fate of
this boat, but it is evident that her sue
cess encouraged Capt Porter to procure
larger boat the next season to carry
passengers between Portland and Boston.
l find the following notice in the Argus
of July Sth, 1924:
1.-THE STEAMBOAT Patent, Capt. Leonard
Porter, arrived here yesterday in four
days from New York, having touched at
a number of places to land passengers
She is intended to ply between this place
and Boston-is strong and commodious,
ana elegantly 1tted up TOT passengers.
Her engine has been proved, is of supe-
rior workmanship and propels the boat
about 10 miles an hour. From the per-
severance of Capt. Porter we have, no
doubt but he will meet with good en-
couragement and find it profitable. We
wish him success. :"

The sentiment of the majority of the
Massachusetts, Democrats is undoubtedly
in favor of therenomination of Cleveland
and it it was proper enough for the state
convention to give voice to it. 1t appears
however that Hill is not without sup

monwealth, though they do not seem to

The anxiety of Mayor Jones of Water
vile to find out whether or not there is
tcancy in the board of registration of
.laterville which requires him to make
another appointment seems to be of very
recent date. For some months it was
apparent enough to everybody but Mr..
Jones that such vacancy did exist, but
then he WAS not only not anxious to as
certain the fact, but on the contrary very
anxious indeed not to ascertain it,.
When Mr.. .Jonas's mind was in state of

Of course the Argus attributes the
Democratic defeat in Rhode Island to
"boodle.'' The Argus had previously
been of the opinion that the Australian
ballot would prevent the Democrats
from selling themselves, but it has now
come to the conclusion that the Demo-
cratic desire for the possession of filthy
lucre is strong enough to break down all
barriers.

The free wool bill has passed the
House. 1t is good specimen of Demo-

ever, while the wool manufacturers are
protected by a duty of over 80 per cent.
If this isn't robbery what is it? Yet this
