ARGUED THE CASE OF MAJOR ARMIES
Lawyers Have Their Final Say Over
IL Sensational Affair.

Sensational Ah11r.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Counsel for Major
George A. A. Armes, whose sensational ar
rest several months ago for insubordina-
ton by order of Major General Schoield
tLen acting secretary of war, was followed
by his discharge by Judge Bradley with a
ecathing denunciation of the arrest, filed
their briefs today in reply to the govern
ment's appeal to the court of appeals. They
ask the discharge of Armes from further
liability, first because no power whatever
existed to make the arrest and second be-
cause he was not informed of the nature of
the accusations against him. Counsel
say that there has been no process of law
in any sense, and no legal commitment, and
believing therefore that the arrest was un-
just, violation of the law and subversive of
the liberty of the citizen, request that the
judgment of the lower court be affirmed.
Military law, counsel argues, is supreme in
military affairs, but it must provide for due
process, not arbitrary Imprisonment
The case was argued in the appellate court
today. Counsel for both sides reviewed
their contentious. Some time probably will
elapse before the case is decided.

Patience and DInzes.

Chicago Chronicle.
The United States has been reasonably
patient with the unspeakable Turk, but his
latest essay in th- way of burning Americ
missions makes some show of resentment
pardonable. AS the long suffering lover said

haus.ion:

Bryant, prohibtionist candidate for re-
gent of the Nebraska State university
at the late election, polled G94T votes,
while Mrs. Woodbey, his colleague for
similar position, secured only 6,291
votes. Is the difference the measure of
prejudice among prohibitionists against
n woman or against n negro, or does
1t represent merely the handicap of Il
lower position on the official ballot?

Canadians Deny American Fishermen
Right to Buy Unit,

WASHINGTON, Dec. at is apprehended
here that the withdrawal by the Canadian
authorities Of the right enjoyed by American
fishermen for seven years past of buying
bait and supplies in Canadian waters may
lead to reprisals at the hands of congress,
for it has been contended all along that the
privilege enjoyed by Canadian railroads car
rying goods in bond through tho United
States was more than a sufficient offset to
the favors extended to American fishermen
by Canada. The action of the Canadian
justice just taken has been officially reported
to the State department, but it is regarded
here as an indication of Canadas purpose to
emphasize the necessity for renewal of ne
gotiations looking TO a new fisheries treaty.

To The Women in Convention.

There are two very good reasons why
Augusta should be chosen as favorite
place for holding conventions, especially
those which are composed OF delegates
from all parts OF the State: First, 1t is CEN
trally located and second 1t is the State
capital. But We hope that the represen-
tativcs of the women's clubs throughout
Maine will have additional reasons for
regarding the capital city with favor
when selecting place for future conven-
tions of the State Federation, one of
which shall be the hospitality of the peo-
pie of the city. Certainly the hospitality
which they will wish to extend will meet
with present reward. SUCH conventions
are not alone helpful to the delegates but
to other women and to the men as well.
George Herbert had not disentau-
Qled himself from sixteenth century
ideas when he said words are women,
deeds are men" Perhaps he intended
simply to convey the idea that the words of
the women inspired the deeds OF the men.
II so he awkwardly expressed it, The
words as we'll as the presence of women
have been an unfailing source of inspira-
ton, not only to men but to other women
women it would be well for the men to
have grounds for claiming some share IN
that inspirational source. Moreover, we
are pleased to believe that the words OF
the ladies who speak and take part In the
discussions OF the State Federation meet
inRs this week will be more weighty than
would those of any similar convention In
the sixteenth century, were 1t possible for
such convention to be held at that time,
which unfortunately for the century 1t
was not If George Herbert found women
of little Importance save to amuse and bore
him, we are sorry that he missed so much
of the profit as well as the pleasure derived
by the men, who are now finding women
most excellent co-partners, whether the
business to be considered be home making
or literature, SOCIAL AutalnIuenUS OF every
day affairs. Had he been permitted to share
In the knowledge and experience of the
nineteenth century, he doubtless would

has the honor of entertaining, would

would add Just as heartily, Come

Complimentary Facts.
(RailWay Review. }

The Maine Central Railroad, under the
discriminating management of Payson
Tucker, is so conducted that the people
who reside along Its line seem to feel a
personal interest and pride in the road.
The employees of the company have a
special pride in this fact and there is an
esprit de-corps among them that Is rare.
The people doing business with the road
feel that they have a fair show whenever
their views and those of the company
come into conflict. The feeling Of antag-
onism SO commonly met with elsewhere
seems to have no existence In Maine. AS
Mr.. Tucker said to me recently: sit is
much better to conduct railroad in this
manner, with as little friction as possible,
and If more roads were run in this way
there would be less hostile legislation and
much less bowling against railroad cor
porations. The earnings Of the Maine
Central gave evidence of the value of this
policy; for during the recent depression
this company paid it usual dividends
and laid up Il small surplus besides
During the past summer its business has
exceeded all previous seasons and more
people have gone into the State of Maine
than ever before. The general local bust
ness along this line is also improving
rapidly.

HIS FIRST MEETING WITH LINCOLN.
How the Kindly, Homely Face Drove
Away His Prejudices.

Charla5 =. Anthony's one meeting with
Lincoln presents an interesting contrast tc
those of the men who shared the enamel
pator's interest in public affairs
1t was in the latter part of the winter Of

Judge Anthony went to the Sherman
House, where the president. elect was stay

good many men were present ant
there was constant pressure for adm!s
sion at the door. Those who were admitted
to Mr.. Lincoln's presence seemed to have
matters of great deal of Importance to
talk about, which, of course, the boy did
not understand. Nor did the failure tc
understand it trouble him at all. He
played about the room, as a child will,
looking at whatever interested him for the
time, and when the interview with his IA
Their was concluded he was ready to go.
But Mr.. Lincoln, ever interested in lit
tie children, called the lad to him and took
him upon his knee.
my impression of him all the time
had been playing about the room," says
Mr.. Anthony, twas that he was a terribly
homely man. l was rather repealed. But
no sooner did he speak to me and call me
to come to him than the expression of his
face changed completely, or, rather, my
view of it changed. 1t at once became
kindly and attractive. I went to him
without any hesitation, though 1 was
rather timid boy, and did not resist at
all when he gathered me up and placed me
upon his knee He asked me some ques-
tions, remember, seeming instantly to
find, in the turmoil of all the great CUES
tions that must have been heavy upon
him, the very ones that would go to the
thought of child. Unanswered him with
out hesitation, and after moment he
patted my shoulder and said:
90 Well, you'll be man before your
mother yet, and put me down.
II had never before heard the homely
old. expression, and it puzzled me for a
time. After moment l understood it,
but he looked at me while was puzzling
over it and seemed to be amused-as no
doubt he was.
"The incident simply illustrates the
ease and readiness with which Lincoln
could turn from the mighty questions that
seemed insolublo to the greatest minds of
the nation, give "a moments Interested at
tention to a child and return at once to
matters of state-and solve them.

The value of public franchises Is be-
coming timely topic in this as In other
states, Just now there is lively discus
sion Of the subject III the two largest
cities of Maine, Portland and Bangor.
The aldermen of the former city rejected
a proposition to require the Cape Eliza

Bangor the proposition to require the
street railway company to pave street
through which it desires to run line is
meeting with quite strong opposition from
the people living on the street. Perhaps
In both these instances it would be an in
justice to require these corporations to pay
In this indirect or in direct manner for
requirement has not been made In the

that to now require it would be gross
injustice. 1t cannot be questioned that
the street railway Is a public convenience,
that 1t helps to build up the town in
which it is located, II properly managed,
