its name Linotype These machines
require tender to keep them in re-

Excellent Appointments.

Thcle are several especially impor-
made by Governor Cleaves, yesterday.
The one in which, probably, the most
interest is felt is that of the inland
commissioner of fish and game. There
We're several candidates for this i'm
portant office and each had time and
opportunity to present his claims for
the position, so far as it was possible
to do So Hon. Leroy T. Carleton, the
successful candidate, will make an
excellent commissioner. This, we feel
sure will be conceded by the friends of
other candidates He has from boy
hood been familiar with much that
pertains to our fish and game. He is
an ardent sportsman, is prominent in
the work of protecting these great re-
sources of our state. Certainly no one
worked harder or more effectively than
Mr.. Carleton in securing the desired
Legislation at the hands of the last

splendid legal abilities, his time and
the persistent enthusiasm which is un-
daunted by any obstacle. 1t seems
fitting that he is to have part in en-
forcing the laws he did so much
to secure and in eXpending the money
which he worked so hard to have the
State appropriate. The people of Ken
nebec county remember his success in
enforcing the laws as county attorney
and have every reason to believe that
as commissioner of fish and game he
will be untiring in his efforts to have
those laws enforced and offenders
punished.
| Another appointment. which de-
serves especial commentator, is that
iof Augustus w. Gilman, inspector of
prisons and jails Mr.. Gilman has

that position, and the recognition of

The proposal for reciprocity CON-
mission of five members may be
feasible one That reciprocity Is fea-
sible few really doubt, but we are IN
clincd to think such a commission Will
get more credit by reelection from reci-
procity than reciprocity will by ref'ec-
tion from the commission. However
that may be it is certain that 1t be-
hooves this country to encourage reci-
procity in every way. A consular ser

rather than because of its political
pull and an appreciation on the part
of our merchants and manufacturers

whom they would trade. knowied,.e
that could be obtained largely through
the medium of an Intelligent consular
service would go farther toward MAX
ing reciprocity a greater success than
all the commissions that ever drew a
big salary. on the other hand it seems
possible that such commission as is
proposed could accomplish enough to
warrant it's existence, so the only ques-
ton appears to be whether it is better
to have the commission first increase the
number of officials, or secure the best
possible in our consular service, i'm
prove the officials we now have. Pos
sibly both may be had and the ques-
ton solved by sweeping aside the al
ternatives, but on general principles il
is usually better to make the most of
what one has before adding thereto.
