Mr.. Taylor should be made to satisfy the
demands Of the law That is the only way
to discourage others from following his
example Moreover the history Of Tay-
lor's misdeeds is not quite SO pleasant
reading as his story of his penitence. He
stole 1914, 277 and 1t Is thought would
have stolen more had the state been richer.
He was specializing in Wall street and the
failure Of the Chemical National Bank IN
Chicago was the last straw that broke
him. At that time he was considered to
be one Of the coming fnanciers of the
Northwest. He fled and became fugitive
on the face of the earth. He was bounded
by officers to Pensacola, Tampa, Havana,
thence to Vera Cruz and Manzanillo.
He was a passenger on the ill fated steam
ship Colima. Then he went to Panama
and later to Aspinwall and then to Kings
ton, Jamaica where the chase was so hot
that he got himself secreted by mulatto
for several days He fled from there to
Para, South America. By that time nego-
tiations had been completed for his re
turn. The terms were payment of $780,,

be turned over to the state, also the return

Antiquity of Pens,

According to one authority, the word
"pea' is derived from Pisa, a Greek city
of Ellis, which seems to have been the cen.
ter of the pea growing industry fer years
before the time of Christ. The antiquarians
aver that the 'mess pottagc, for which
Esau sold his birthright, was dish of
peas. In those times they were called
"lcntils," and even at the present day the
English common people of several of the
English shircs, notably Middlescx and OK.
fordshire, still call them "tils," droppira
the ''len." In the time of Mary they were
called 'peasons," and in the time at
Charles "pease." Professor l.. II. Baily
is authority for the statement that peas
have been in cultivation in Europe fol-
more than 1000 years.

It seems that the Democratic editor is
still firing blank cartridges at Congress
man Boutelle There are not few top
los upon which 1t is not safe for Demo
cratic editors to venture in these days of
Democratic uncertainty. But they know
where to find Mr.. Boutclle. His uncom-
promising Republicanism Is shining
mark for them. At the close Of the war
10 one would have thought of dedicating
a rebel monument at Chicago on a day set
apart for paying tribute to Union veter-
ans. A good many thirty years later de-
plored this attempt to pcrvert history,
Among them was Congressman Boutelle.
He was right and he had the courage of
his convictions and stated them Wig
orously. Since then and probably for the
remainder of the heated term at least the
Democratic editor, not feeling equal to
discussing the tariff, not caring to take
a position on the currency and having no
fault to find with Republican administra-
ton of Names affairs, will take occasion
to make personal attacks upon Mr.. Bou-
telle for his uncompromising loyalty.
Mr.. Boutelle is to be congratulated.

A City Building.

Hon. l.. y. Vickcry, as Will be SEEN,
elsewhere in this issue, not only warmly
| endorses the project of constructing a
combination armory and convention hall
Oh the lot owned by the city at the east
end of the bridge, but, with his customary
promote the welfare of tho city of Au-
gusta offers to be one of five men to ad-
vance the money for this purpose at per
cent. In other words, he would follow
the suggestion of Hon. George e. Macom-
Der. form company and build the city a
good building, giving it perpetual lease
upon the structure at per cent per an
mum upon the actual cost thereof, with
the right of purchase, at cost, whenever
the city might desire to take the building.
Mr.. Vickery advocates better building
than has yet teen suggested. He would
make 1t three stories in height The first
story could be devoted to stores, which
would command good rental, the second
story might contain the city rooms, and
the third story be devoted to a large hall
and armory. Mr.. Vickery estimates that
such u building could be CONSTRUCTED in q
most substantial manner at cost of about
$50 600, and he is perpared to associate
himself with others in this work, and
move In it as soon as possible.
IT. &c cboaripr, inIoo6 to caa tho xuoy
opening for structure so urgently needed
by our city. In recent editorial we
showed, at some length, how far behind
the other cities of the State Augusta is
In the matter of a drill hall for its military
company, and how completely we are shut
out from tho holding here of big political
and other gatherings not suitable to an
Opera house, by lack of adequate hall &C
Communications. The matter has awakened
most hearty interest among Augusta
citizens generally, and has come in for no
little discussion. There has been a very
general desire that, in some way, the city
should be provided with proper facilities
both for its citizen soldiers, and for large
gatherings, whether Of political or other
character, that may desire to meet here.
As the capital of Maine it cannot we'll
afford to be without such accommoda
tions. The annual expense to the city, of
$50. 900 building at 3 per cent. net on
the cost of It's construction, would be but
$1,000, and more than this amount, on
such building as is suggested by Mr..
Vickery, should be secured from the sub
rentals. The whole matter as we view it,
resolves itself into practical business
proposition, and, with the aid of Mr..
Vckery, Mr.. Macomber, Mr.. Hill and
other public-spiritcd citizens who would,
doubtless, be glad to CO operate with them
in such an undertaking, we do not see
why our city is not in fair way of secur-
ing, in the near future, a building that
will provide, in ample degree, the hall
and other accommodations SO sadly needed
hero.
