The Signboard Nuisance.
(tath Times).

1t is seldom that popular opinion re-
spends SO spontaneously to an agita-
ton as it has in Bath to our appeal for
an abatement of the signbcard nuis-
ance in the country round about the
city. At every turn our position in the
matter IS commended and we are urged
to persist until something is done to
abate the violence which is done to the
artistic sense of the people by the
advertising matter which is distributed
through the landscape along every
countryside. The depth and extent OF
the popular feeling in regard to the
matter indicates a general popular APP
probation of the injury done by this
method of advertising, for which we
We're totally unprepared. 1t is evident
that all classes and degrees of the
people are Indignantly conscious of the
annoyance>to which they are subjected
by the importantly of the merchants
who Shrek and beg for patronage
along the highways with all the vulgar
eloquence that can be evoked from
glaring and offensive combinations of
coors and staring characters. One of
the most prominent merchants and a
leading member of the Merchants
association tells us that he considers
that there ought 10 be a certain degree

Killed

1t will be perceived that no less
than from IS to 60 per cent. of the
fatalities were due to trespassing, and
this in face of the fact that the total
killed includes passengers and en-
ployes while the trespassers are con-
fined to other persons. In Great
Britain, where the law against tres
passing on railroads is more strictly
enforced than here, the proportion of
fatalities while trespassing on line"
exclusive Of suicides, last year to all
deaths was only % per cent. If legis-
latures. magistrates and railway au-
thorities would unite to secure stricter
regulations against lettering and tres
passing on railroad right of way the
number of killed by railroad accidents
in the United States could be reduced
from 20 to 80 per cent.

Maine Solid for Roosevelt.

("aSnlnStOn IOSt.)
AS a young man President Roosevelt
rusticated occasionally in northern
Maine, along the East Branch of the
Penobscot river. Therefore, when he
visited Bangor, last autumn, and saw
the immense crowds before him he
commented upon the people of the West
Branch being present, and" he added
enthusiastically, Il am certain the folks
from the East Branch are here also.
Representative Burleigh, present at
Bangor at the time and hearing the
Presidents easy adoption of those To-
cal expressions was at the White
House, Saturday. When the oppor-
tunity came TO say a few words about
political matters, ex-Gov. Burleigh re-
marked:
"Mr. President, the people of the East
Branch are favorable to your nomina-
ton next year, and so are those along
the West Branch and every other river
branch in the Pine Tree State"
That way of stating his popularity
throughout Maine pleased Mr. Roose-
welt very much. :"

Yesterdays Election.

The verdict at the polls, yesterday, in
was considerably more emphatic and
sweeping than it's most sanguine friends
had dared to hope for. 1t had been
more and more evident through the
week that the current of popular sem
timent was running strongly in favor
of municipal ownership. 1t was gen.
orally anticipated, therefore, that The
act creating the water district would
be accepted by decisive majority-the
surprise came in it's unexpectedly en-
phatic expression Of popular sentiment
on the subject. 1t was a clean sweep.
The next move will be the appoint
ment by Mayor Robertson of three COM
mlssioners who will manage the affairs
of the water district for the people. In
case these commissioners cannot agree
with the Augusta Water Co. upon the
terms of purchase Of it's plant on or
before July 1, 1903, they are authorized,
on or before July 6, 1903 ito file a pc
tition in the clerks Office of the supreme
judicial court for the county of Ken
nebec in term time or vacation, ad-
dressed to any justice of said court,
Co. and it's mortgages, shall, after
hearing and within 80 days after the
filing of said petition, appoint three dis
interested appraisers none Of whom
shall be residents of the county of Ken
nebec, one of whom shall be learned in
the law, for the purpose of fixing the
valuation of said plant, property and
franchises. The said appraisers shall
have the power of compelling at
tendance of witnesses and the produc-
ton of books and papers pertinent TO
the issue, and may administer oaths;
and any witness, or person in charge of
such books and papers, refusing to at
tend, or to produce the same, shall be
subject to the same penalties and pro-
ceedings, SO far as applicable as wit
prcme judicial court. The appraisers
so appointed shall after due notice and
hearing fix the valuation of said
plant, property and franchises at what
they are fairly and equitably worth, Sc
that the said Augusta Wat"r Co. Shall
feTccives Just 'cbiiipensation for air the
same. The first day OF October, 1903
shall be the date as of which the valu-
alton aforesaid shall be fixed, from
which day interest on said award shall
run and all net rents and profits accru-
ing thereafter shall belong to said water
district"
by the vote of yesterday the act In
cooperating the water district was made
effective, and no time will be lost n
putting it's provisions into effect.

Unless the Colby matter is settled in

though not student is lost or public

students believe that they are not belnS
treated with exact justice. College 10y

lost their glamour of enthusiasm, ana if
that state of things continues, Colby
will turn out alumni who will boast
little of their college and do less for it's

its real origin from something that ex-

there is a reed that does not vibrate in

Pretty maiden, charming gown,
Bright eyes cast demurcly down;
Great big essay, ribbon tied;
Homo folks looking on with pride.
Hark, The words of wisdom flow,
Telling us how nations grow,
Why some races fast decay,
Why to ills some are prey.
Now, at last, we learn just why
All mankind cannot have pie;
Why some men must live on bread,
Sleep without feather bed;
Why, in every age and cline,
Some have got there every time,
While the masses. dull and slow,
Seldom had a half show.
Learn we also other things
How a government by kings
ParalyZeS industry
Makes the hardy workman flee;
How the time is coming fast
When some king will be the last;
How the earth will be some day
Like cur own great U. S. \.
Pretty maiden, charming gown,
Bright eyes cast demurely down,
Who does not admire you now,
AS Won make your parting bow?
Who does not applause beStoW
On your wisdom rare, although
Everybody in the hall
Knows quite well you cribbcd it all.

A Fcretaste of Heaven.

This new idea of getting the State to
help out the towns and cities in build
ing good roads is spreading rapidly and
the municipalities are voting larger
sums every year. We may not be able
tolive so longas to see serviceable roads
all over the State, but one does not
need to have the gift of prophecy to
know that the good roads are coming
to us all. After we become accustomed
to travel for miles upon the asphalted
and perfect roads near home the
golden streets of the New Jerusalem
will not be such surprise to our feet.

1t is hard to understand the differ
ence in the speed of the Columbia and
Constitution this year. In the trial
races of two years ago the Constitu-
ton, then newly built, was badly beat
en- by the old defender, Columbia, and
the latter was again selected to defend
the cup. This year the Constitution Is
leaving the Columbia far astern in the
trial races. If the Constitution is fast
er now why wasn't it then? Or Is 1t
that the Columbia has less speed or Is
managed with less skill than in 1901?
However, there is no fault to be found
if the Reliance conclusively proves
that it is faster than either of them.
