The New and the Old.

The affairs of our city. in all its de-
partments, are now in the hands of the
new city government. We believe that
they will be administered wisely and
well. The taxpayers of this city have
4 right to demand that its affairs be
administered with the same scrupulous
are and honesty. that any good cit
izen would exercise in the conduct of
his own private affairs. If abuses
Green into our municipal service it Is
he duty of those charged with the ex~
oenditure of the peoples money to see
10 it that they are promptly and effec-
tually dealt with. With the high tax
rate that is paid in this city, there is
special reason why the money of its
taxpayers should be wisely and eco
lomically expended, and why the
greatest care should be exercised by
those to whom is entrusted the con-
none of it is in any way diverted from
It's legitimate purposes. The aim
should be to reduce as rapidly as pos
,ible the burden of municipal indebt-
adness, and thus lessen the large tax
rate that today constitutes the great
st barrier to interesting of outside
apital in local enterprises. We be-
.ieve that tie new city government is
1 strong one composed of able and
conscientious business men. who will
have at heart the best interests Of the
city, and will do all in their power to
well. Mayor Choate's qualifications
for the chief magistracy of the city are
we'll known to his fellow citizens, and
he has associated with him strong
city government. The average citizen
IS too apt to forget that he carries any
personal responsibility in municipal af-
fairs / is a good deal easier to crit
icise the work of other men, than it is
% help them do it. There is at all
times, in most every communicates
human nature is much the same every
Shere--a disposition to Shift the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship to other
shoulders, with sigh of relief, and
condemn the men who have to carry
them for their way of doing 50. There
will never be a time when men will
agree upon all the questions that veX
the municipal life but if those dis
agreements be honest ones, there need
never be cause for resentment or any
dimunition of mutual self-respect
There is no more thankless task put
upon any of our citizens than member
ship in the city government. The work
is far more arduous and exacting than
people unacquaintcd with its details
imagine, and the time and attention
necessary to it's performance are given
gratuitously. 1t should be the aim and
effort of our citizens. to make the way

Augusta the Capital OF Maine. y

Under the above caption Mr.. Ewing
w. Hanlln has contributed an article
to the April number of the New Eng
land Magazine that is of permanent
interest and value. 1t not only merits
place of honor in every Augusta
home. but our people may well send tc
their friends in other states. both as =
souvenir of our city and an adve"-
isement of its charms and its al
yantages. 1t is true that familiarity.
if it does not always breed the proverh
al contempt, is pretty sure to blind rs,
m a measure, to the merits Of what
ever enters into our common everyday
associations Mr. Hamln's article,
with its fine half tone Illustrations,

New England. AS we have before re-
marked the kennebec river is as bean

lies more picturesque or delightful!
than those along its banks. Nature
has been lavish with her gifts to all of
them. and TO none more than to the
Capital city nestled amid its forest o.
shade trees, largely majestic elIrs. on
either side of the Kennebec and con-
aected by a modern iron bridge
1t is no easy task to condense the
history of a city like Augusta within
the limits of a magazine article and
still make it comprehensive; but Mr..
Hamlin has successfully accomplished
it. Indeed we fail 10 see wherein his
work could we'll be improved upon. So
much do we value this admirable pre-
sentaton of the charms and the sub
stantial worth of our city, that we
propose to have this issue of the New

in cloth. and given place of honor in
our library. Works of this charac ter
merit the heartiest endorsement of our
people, for they contribute alike to the
prosperity and high standing OF the

of our fellow citizens. who are charged
with the conduct of our municipal al
fairs, as easy and as pleasant as pos
sible. 1t will be hard enough anyway.
In this connection we desire to pay
word of tribute to the retiring city
government. 1t had many important
matters to deal with. and disposed of
them to the best interests of the COM
munity. The administration of Mayor
Milliken was conscientious and BUSH
ness like. He devoted much time ana
thought to the duties of his responsible
office and was. at all times. animated
by a desire to promote. in every pos
sible way, the best welfare ofsthe city.
Even those who may. at times, nave
differed from him respecting details or
municipal policy. must admit MS SIN
certify of purpose. and admire the cour-
age with which he stood by his convic-
tions. Marshal Bean was an honest,
upright official, and his supercedure
by gentleman thoroughly acquainted
with. and in every way qualified for
the duties of the position, was not due
to any failure on his part to perform
faithfully and well the duties of his
position. His administration of the
police department was conspicuously
:, ;,Ia ,pd bopaSt ono and will take rank
among the best in the history of our
city.
And now as We enter upon the new
municipal year let it be with pur-
pose to refrain from idle or senseless
criticisms, and give our cordial support
10 the members of the city government
in their efforts to promote the welfare

Unconscious and Conscious Tribute.

No stauncher supporter of Mckinley
can be found than the Chicago Times
Herald and no Washington correspon-
dent is doing more effective work for
per. In his letter of Monday he as
sumes that Mr.. Reeds philosophy is
severely put to the test when he thinks
that he defeated Mckinley for the
speakership and appointed him to the
ways and means committee. He might
have appointed Mr.. Kelley or Mr. Can
non and what is now known as the Nc
Kinlcy law would have been known as
the Kelley law or the Cannon law. IF
Reed had failed for the speakershir
and Mckinley had won it there might
be Il different story now to tell.
1t must occur to many of Mr.. Well
mans readers that he is simply con-
firmins what those desiring another
candidate have affirmed, that McKin-
ley is no more a protection candidate
than are his leading opponents. MOI
do we believe Mr.. Reed is regrettins
the fact that he became speaker instead
of chairman of the ways and means
committee True, had it been the Reed
bill instead of the Mckinley bill, had it
been Reed who was held up to scorn
by the very people whose theories have
in practice caused such disaster. it
to whose name the thoughts of many
would turn with the uppermost desire
to restore protection and prosperity.
But this kind of popularity is that
which comes with the first flush.
Truth accords Mr.. Reed just as great
and honorable share in the enactment
of good tariff law as belongs to Mr.
| Mckinley. Good sense is already
aware that the principle of protection
and the wise application of it will be
just as certain with Mr.. Reed fol
President az; if Mr.. Mckinley shall be
chosen. But Mr.. Reed has to his credit
something above and beyond that. He
was the first speaker to guarantee tc
this country that the affairs of it's pop.
ular branch of government should bt
conducted on business principles. L
seems clear to us that to a man of Mr.
Reeds temperament the honor of thi.
peerless achievement is priced above ;

Compulsory Pilotaue.

The Bath Times tells of two small
Bath vessels which have paid for
compulsory pilotage in the past twelve
years, 1924. They are small vessels,
one capable of carrying 525 tons and
the ether $50 tons of coal. Not infre-
quently the present law is undoubtedly
an unnecessary hardship to owners of
vessels in the coasting trade. fer the
master or mate can often pilot a YES
sci into port as well as the average
pilot they are now compelled to hire.
There is a bill before Congress le-
signed to remedy this condition Of at
fairs. 1t provides that Whenever the
master or mate of sailing vessel of
the United States employed in III,
coastwise trade, claiming to be a skill
the inspectors shall make dilgent in
quiry as to his character and merits.
and. if satisfied, from personal exam
ination of the applicant, with the
proof that he offers that he possesses
the requisite knowledge and skill and
is trustworthy and faithful they shall
grant him a license for the term of one
year to pilot any such vessel within
the limits prescribed in the license;
but such license shall be suspended on
revoked upon satisfactory evidence OF
negligence, unskillfulness. inattention
to the duties of his station, or intern
perance. or the wilful violation of any
of the provisions of this title
1t also provides that state or munic-
ipal governments shall not impose re-
strictions on such pilots. nor shall ex-
cessive fees be charged; also no regu-
lations or provisions shall be adopted
by any state which shall make any
discrimination in the rate of pilotage
between vessels sailing between the
ports of one state and vessels sailing
between the ports of different states
or any discrimination against vessels
propelled in whole or in part by steam
or sail or against national vessels OF
the United States.
