Prof. Small, in his speech at Chicago,
said, referring to the Philippine business,
There comes a day when 1T is crime to
think any longer. This day in the Phil
ippine business came. in the estimation
of the impsi ialists, who arrogate to them
selves all the pat riotism and wisdom OF
the country, the moment the Spanish
treaty was signed at Paris. There has
not been o day since when anybody VINO
objected to that treaty or tried to modify
it was not denounced as traitor. Every
senator that opposed it hns been accused
of melting rebellion against the United
States. 1t has always been crlme' III
the estimation of the expansionists, 10
think about the Philippines unless tne
thinking was their way. ~

The result of the Republican congress

Lewiston today is a foregone conclusion.
Charles e. Littleheld of Rockland has

and will be nominated on the nrst

moment in view of the hopelessness OF his
contest may withdraw and allow Mr..

for him, and when the caucuses began

Albert Ware Paine, of Bangor, has
completed his sixty fourth year in contin-
uous service as member Of the bar of
Penobscot County. Mr.. Paine was ad-
mitted to the bar In Bangor in 1886, and
from that day to this has missed but
one term of court. Mr.. Paine has seen
many men pass on and of the stage OF
public and professional life in Maine since
that year. Robert p. Dunlap, of Bruins
wick, was then Governor. Nathan Weston,
of Augusta had but the year before sue
ceeded Prentiss Mellen,ssth first Chief
Justice of Maine. The associate justices
were Albion X. Paris, of Portland, after
wards the popular Governor for whom
so many Maine babies were named, and
Nicholas Emery, of Portland, Ether
Shepley and Peleg Sprague were United
States Senators from Maine. and the
former was soon to resign his seat to be
appointed an associate justice Of the
Maine Supreme Court, the Federal Offices
not being esteemed SO highly as at pres
emit In the lower branch of Congress

81
of Thomaston, later the victim of the
memorable duel, was Speaker Of the
Maine House. Nathan Clifford, of New.
field, afterwards Associate Justice of tbs
Supreme Court of the United States, was
attorney general of the tate. or the
seventy lawyers then constituting the
Penobscot BAR none other survives. Mr..
Paine not only has long years to his
credit, bSt has added !. much other dis
tinction. 1t was through his efforts that
the principle of law was established in
America that an accused person on trial
should be allowed to testify in his own
behalf The conservative courts of Eng
land have followed the example of our
courts in this respect. All Of the ideas
emanating from Mr.. Paine's fertile brain
have not been approved, some because OF
the inertia of lawmakers. and others
because of their novel nature. A propo-
sition was before the last Congress to
make a very proper and desirable change
in the Constitution to guard against the
complication that might arise from the
death of the President elect of the United
States before his Inauguration. This
change was suggested by Mr.. Paine. His
proposition TO establish sy stem of vot

| in its nature that 1t never received serious

The United States has set to work to
establish school system in Porto Rico.
Gen. John Eaton has been designated to
take charge of the work and has already
formulated q public school law which
will go into effect on the first of July. 1t
provides that all schools supported by
public taxation, either local or insular,
shall be styled public schools, and that
admission to them shall be free to all
persons between the ages of 6 and IS years
who are residents of the island. Teachers
may suspend, and municipal boards OF
education may permanently exclude,
pupils of bad moral character, or who are
insubordinate, or who possess or are ex-
posed, to infectious diseases. The school
year Is to consist of three terms of three
months each, reckoning four weeks of
five DAYS each for the month. The pay
of teachers Is fixed at from $50 month
in rural and auxiliary schools to $40 a
month to English supervisors and graded
school principals holding principals
diplomas; payment being for only each
month of actual service. The budget for
the year calls for 1926 900 for the payment
of teachers, the purchase of textbooks

A CUBAN RAILWAY.

When one wishes to leave Havana
 by rail to see something of the real Cuba-say, to take a trip to Pinar del Rio or to Cienfuegos-he must get up very early. The through trains leave at 6 o'clock in the morning I asked the chief engineer of the railroad to Pinar de, Rio why so early a start was made fer 2 town only 109 miles away. and he said it was so as to get back the same day.
 The American traveller is not only
 likely to grumble when he is com pelled to hurry to the station in the thick gloom of the early morning, but when he reaches the station and finds that he must pay about cents a mile in gold, and from to Scents a mile in Spanish silver, to ride in the back breaking cars known as first-cIass car riages, and that for an ordinary trunk he must pay about half fare, he is in- cllned to scOff at the primitive mode or travel, and to long for the luxury Of even stage coach journeying on a western mountain road. The amazing amount fcomputation by the ticket agent before he sells a ticket. the smoky lamps. the three preliminary tootings by the engine before the train starts, the final ringing of bell by the baggage master as a signal that the train is really going, the crowded condition of the aisles, choked with luggage for which the passengers do not care to pay toll and every man in the train, from the conductor down to the barefooted brakemen, smoking to- bacco of varying degrees of excellence all this is likely to weary the Amer ican traveller used to the luxury of Pullman cars.

1 heim and Neipperg, formerly enjoyed
 the rank and power of petty Sover- eigns, vassals. however, to his apos-
 tolic majesty, the kaiser Of the holy Roman empire at Vienna. The Napol-
 comic wars at the beginning cf the
 century swept the maj of all these
 small states away, and the congress Of
 Vienna set it's senl to their disappear
 ahce. most of those left over at that
 time having since succumbed to the
 all-absorbing power of Prussia.
 It was felt, however, at the time of the congress of Vienna that these dis possessed petty sovereigns required some sort of compensation fer the loss of their dominions, as well as balm fer their wounded pride. Accordingly they and their lineal descendants in the male line direct were invested with a number of extraordinary priv ileges, totally cut Of keeping with the democratic spirit of the present age. Among these pferogatives was exemp- ton from taxation of every kind, as well as from military service, and if to this day they enter the army Of their own accord they are entitled to commission as officer at once instead of having to go through the ordinary procedure in order to obtain it. Up to 1878 they were not amenalbie to the ordinary tribunals of the land, even when engaged in legal disputes with hersons who did not belong to their class, but were only subject to a tribu- nal Of their peers specially organized for the occasion. Even to this day they are not obliged to take the ordi- nary form of oath in court, their mere word being held sufficient, while an ether privilege which they still retain is that Of contracting morganatic mar Tlages, that is, marriages which, though valid in the eyes of the church. are only legally and enthusiastically binding upon the party thereto who happens to be of inferior rank.
 Of course this duly sanctioned cus- tom of morganatie marriages, which are contracted with the left instead of with the right hand, constitutes an anomaly altogether unworthy of the present era Of enlightenment and civ 1.izatlon, and 1 hear that Emperor William is consulting the members of the various reigning families of Ger many with view to it's abolition. Despotic as he is in some respects. he is very democratic in others Indeed, ne has already shown that he is of the opinion that in a constitutional state all citizens should fulfill the same oio-  iigaticns and duties toward the com monwealth, and four years ago he is- sued a decree, which was published in the Imperial Gazette, at Berlin, abol- ishing al one stroke of the pen the immunity from taxation until then en- Joyed by the mediatized families of the German empire.
 # <
 From this 1t will be seen that the efforts Of William Waldorf Astor, and the se.f-cxDatri- ated citizens of their stripe, to obtain exemption from taxation in the United States, will meet witsl but little sym pathy in the old world. where the peo- pie thoroughly realize that every case or exemption increases the weight of the burden on other shoulders that are often far less able to support them. A sentiment of civic duty prevails in the old world which is noteworthy in it's Datrlotism.-Marquis de Fontency in Washington Post.
