Improvement In Mail Service.

We were led to state, two weeks ago,
that the proposed "Star route free mail
delivery system" was in our opinion
better adapted to most parts OF Somerset
county than the plan of "Rural free de-
livery" because mail would reach those
supplied earlier, and the present offices
would not be disturbed. The Kennebec
journal announces that the postoffice
department, which has had an expert
mental box delivery star route in the
town of Vassalboro. has already given
notice to various postmasters that the
advertisements which govern the con-
tracts in the State of Maine going into
effect July l, 1901, will appear this COM
ing September, and that they will en-
brace box delivery, which iDsures nearly
all the benefits of the rural free delivery,
upon the present stage routes carrying
mail. The system which is proposed,
and which Congressman BuIleigh hopes
will be placed on every stage route in
Maine. was outlined in the REPORTER,
the l0,h instant. This arrangement,
together with the arrangement to pre-
vent the wholesale bidding In and sub
letting OF contracts, indicate that great
improvement Is likely TO be made In the
mail facilities on our country routes off
railroad lines.

The Montana Case.

The Montana senatorial case lie one of
seem TO diminish. Clark was elected T.
s. senator from that State and his seat
was contested because of alleged bribery
and the case WAS so clear and strong
against him that The committee on prlvi-
leges and elections voted unanimously
against his retaining his seat In tn
Senate.
Last week, with quite a flourish OF
trumpets aud speech of some length, he
resigned his seat In the Senate and sent
his letter of resignation to the State
capital. Some Of the senators congratu-
lated Clark on what they supposed was
an honest resignation, or at least, one IT,
save himself from expulsion. But II
appears the resignation was for quite n
it would reach the State capital while
Governor Smith, who was not CLARK
man, was absent, and when Lieut.. Gov.
Spriggs WAS In command at the State
house. Spriggs received the resignation
and Immediately accepted it and ap
pointed Clark to fill the vacancy.
When Gev. Smith, who WAS in Call
fornia, heard Of the action Of his lieuteI-
ant he returned TO Butte at the earliest
possible hour and appointed Martin
Maginnis, United States senator.
There are numerous opinions among
senators in regard to the legal status of
the case and the committee on privileges
and elections have the case In hand
The trick played by Clark is a smart one
but we believe the Senate will find way
to circumvent this prince of tricksters
and prevent his becoming member
thereof

Improvement In Porto Rico.

William r. Corwine, secretary of the
Central Porto Rican Relief Committee,
appointed by the secretary OF war last
summer, has just returned from Porto
Rico. Mr.. Corwjne went to Porto Rico
for the committee to investigate the con-
ditions there.
Mr.. Corwine found that the general
conditions IN sugar and tobacco are
better than they were. The new tariff
law, by allowing these products to come
into the United States at fifteen per cent
of the Dingley tariff, has acted as a
stimulus In both these industries. The
crop outlook is favorable. Ia the coffee
regions. however, the situation is still
bad. The coffee plantations suffered
seriously from The hurricane. AS the
new tariff makes no change in coffee, "a
it was already on the free list, there is
not the stimulus of an additional profit
on this product which the others have.
Among the coffee planters there is still
great distress. All in all, the outlook is
much more favorable than it was only a
short time ago. The new governor, Mr..
Corwine says, has created a good i'm
preston. The army officers have done
splendid work in their management OF
the island.

Old Home Week.

The Executive committee of the State
ing, recently, at which arrangements
were made to send printed copies of the
bylaws with direction for organization
OF local associations and for return Of
names of the officers to the State asso-
citation. These have been forwarded to
gentlemen In each town in Somerset
county and they are requested to see
that the organization is effected as
directed in the bylaws.
1t is important that the local organiza.
ton should be completed at an early day
and it is arranged that the chairman of
the board of selectmen and the master of
a subordinate grange shall constitute a
committee to name the officers for each
town.
1t is not really necessary to call pub
lie meeting to organic, as the naming of
the officers. by the officials named above
will be recogniz d by the State associa-
ton. After the organization, meetings
can be called rs may be desirable.
Ii is hoped all Somerset towns will
form local organizations as this will give
greater interest, and arrangements may
more readily be made when the 9th of
August approaches for public meetings
and celebrations.
We will be glad to publish In the RE.
PORTER the names of all officers of local
organizations formed in Somerset towns
and all other information relative TO the
week we are to celebrate, II interested
parties will send them in or give them to
our correspondents.

1t Is welcome fact that birds are
more plentiful in Maine, this spring,
than they have been in recent years.
This is noted 10 many localities and with
pleasure. The Portland Advertiser In
Saturdays issue states: Notwithstand-
ing the cold weather the birds are pas
ing this way In unusual numbers. The
fields and woods are full of them, and II
the sun shines for day they come out
and greet 1t with joyous songs. The
Cape is not the best locality for seeing
birds, yet this season many different
ones have been noticed there. Among
these are the scarlet tanager, bluebird,
summer yellow-b bird, Maryland yellow
throat, myrtle warbler, kingbird, Balti-
more oriole, song sparrow, barn and tree
swallows, night hawk, catbird, house
wren, and others. Some of the later
birds have not vet arrived, but will be
along very shortly.

In a recent number of the REPORTER
an editorial stated that 1t was fair pre-
sumption that the heavy fire on the
island, few weeks ago, was due TO
liquor, and it then went on to say that
the man who sold the liquor-the rum
seller-was to blame as well as the in
toxicated person who may have set the
fire. Let US follow that argument to
its logical conclusion. Who is to blame
for the rumsellerP The officials whose
duty 1t is to keep the saloon keeper from
selling liquor. they too, then, because
they permit saloons, are responsible for
the fire on the island. But, who Is TO
blame that We have officials who do not
shut up the saloons that sell liquor to
men who set fires? We, the citizens
who elect the officials. IL comes To this
then-granting the presumption of the
editorial-that we have ouly ourselves
to blame for the fire of The other night.
Every man who has not used his ill.,
fluence and his vote against the saloon,
through his negligence, has helped to
set that fire. We have made possible
the conditions under which the fire was
set. Our own sin has come home to
roost. We have simply reaped what we
have sown. II. W. X.
