TIME FOR PAYMENT
OF TAXES EXTENDED

Penalty Until Feb. :.

The people Of the State who have
failed TO pay their taxes by Dec 3lst,
as required by law, will read With real
pleasure the announoe ment that the
time for the payment of taxes with out
the penalties hos bsen extended to the
first day of February next.
This extension was granted Yesterday
BY the governor and comptroller gen.
eral. when in their judgment it is
deemed expedient aud 10 the best inter.
ests of the people and the State. Yes
terday morning the governor aud the
comptroller talked the matter over very
carefully and the extension was not
made because of any urgent appeals
received. but 10 order to avoid com
plications that only serve to mix up the
tax collecting machinery and throw it
into hopeless tsngle. For instaoce.
the general assembly almost invariably
entends the time by concurrent resolu.
tions. Before it can act tho time for
the payment of taxes without penalty
expires and 10 the interim those who
pay up have tqlpsy the penalties also.
when later on de extension by the leg

have paid the penalties want those pen.

This is the principal reason why the

that womens clubs would stand for all

they have failed at the color line is
much to be regretted. Could they have

There promises to be a grand series
Of American eXpositions in the near
future. After the Pan-American eX-
position a Buffalo in 1901. comes the
st. Louis exposition in 1908 to celebrate
the centennial of the Louisiana pur-
chase. Then Virginia is already TAX
ing up a grand exposition for 1907, 300
years after the settlement of James
town. A little later will come Ply
mouth in 1920 with similar affair, and
lot of states are proposing to cele-
brate the close of their first century in
imposing style. Congress has voted
Buffalo $500. 900 and st. Louis s., O0O, 900,

help the rest in order Such exposi-
tons and historical celebrations are
good things, but there is an obvious

Senator Bradbury at SO.

Not only from this city where he is
loved so well ana honored so highly
but from far and wide will come con-
gratulations and fluctuations to our
distinguished townsman, ex-senator
Bradbury, on the occasion Of his 9Sth
birthday anniversary which falls to-
morrow, June 10. This venerable
statesman rounding out in peace an
eventful life 50 far extended beyond
the common lot is a figure of dominant
interest, not only in Augusta and
Maine but through the Union. The
western slope of life is beautified by
the spectacle of such a grand old man
descending the declivity in the mellow
glow of the sunset. Truly, there was
never Il fairer example of the rewards
Of well-spent life. The Journal joins
Mr. Bradbury's host of friends in eX-
tending greetings of the happy occa-
sion, and in the PRAYER that his last
days may he his best days, and that
he may long be spared to bless this
community with the Denediction of his
presence.
