THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The presidents message, given to con-
gress last week, discusses in plain and
businesslike way nearly all of the live is
sues of the day and is full of good ideas
with which the great majority of the peo.
pie will agree, irrespective of party.
While many Of the subjects treated are
of greater or less interest to the reader,
yet perhaps that of the Panama question
will be read with the greatest interest as
being the newest and of the greatest i'm
portance at present. The president deals
with the matters in such way that will
convince any reasonable person that the
United States not only has been right in
their dealings with Colombia, but that
there really was no other way than has
been done. Among other things, the
president details by date and year a part
of the disturbances that have occurred
on the isthmus since the treaty was sign
ed some ffty-seven years ago, and sums
up by saying in reference to these dis
turbances:
The abovei is only partial list of the,
revolutions, rebeilions, Instructions,
riots and other outbreaks that have >uc-
CURED during the period IN question, vet
they number 53 for the 81 years. It will
be1noted that one of them lasted for
nearly three years before it was quelled;
another for nearly q year. In fact, the
experience of over half a. Century has
shown Colombia to be utterly incapable.

OPPOSED TO UR1Es.

Judge CoWan is said to have scored the
Barry jury for its failure to agree upon a
verdict. In a case of this kind, with
no suggestion of improper influences the
court might as we'll score human nature
for moulding men in different ways.
Twelve men may look upon a picture
and no two obtain exactly the same inn
preston. Twelve men may hear evi-
dence and there may be wide and hon.
est difference of opinion among them.
1t is not for courts to attempt to force
verdicts by keeping men restrained OF
their liberty, since such procedure is a
coersion by a court. The trouble with
the jury system is that men in everyf form
of life, unfamiliar with with legal customs,
their minds beclouded by obtuse phrase
ology, and the frequent chicanery and
prejudicial pettifogging of counsel, lose
sight Of the main issues, and are lost in
the mazes Of legal procedure. five will

And yet there are people and news
papers who will say and insist that we
have no business to interfere with the
private affairs of Colombia, and that the
recognition of Panama was robbery
concerted, aided and abetted by this
country at this time for the especial pur
pose of getting control ofthe canal, when
history shows that the isthmus has hard
~ been free from riots or revolutions for
more than fifty years and that the only
peace they have had, has been that given
to them by the United States under the
treaty.

escape of number of convicts from a
California prison, whom the state has
never been able to retake. A week ago
the citizens of Norridgewock were
awakened in the small hours by the
sound of an explosion. They seem to
have had a suspicion what 1t meant, for
they turned out at once, armed with
pistols and guns, and found their sus-
picion confirmed. Burglars had blown
the safes in two of the stores, but they
had hardly time to secur their pluuder
before the aroused citizens were upon
them like swarm of hornets whose
nest had been di turbed. A running
fight for several miles ensued and two OF
the gang were captured, one being
wounded. The sheriff's force then took
charge, organized posse and began the
pursuit which led them many weary
miles toward the Canadian border. They
were persistant, however, as hounds on
the trail, and they finally tired out and
took their men. 1t is a good piece of
work on the part of the sheriff office,
backed up by the yeomanry of somerset
county, and it should be warning to
the burglarizing fraternity to keep away
from Maine. -Portland Press.
