WEDNESDAY, MARCH IL, 1908.
New City Government.

For the second time during the past
ten years republican occupies the
chair of mayor of the city of Els
worth, and for the first time for
more than score of years the entire
board of municipal officers of this
city is of the same political COM
plexion.
The new board, therefore, has moth
ing to fear from political dissensions
within. Swept into Office as it was
by a wave of public approval that
astonished itself but little less than
its opponents, it can start out with a
feeling that it has the confidence OF
the public to an extraordinary degree
confidence that it has both the
ability and the disposition to carry
out the ideas that triumphed at the
polls.
Mayor Hagerthy's address, printed
in full in another column, while brief,
is brim full of meat; he makes no
charges against the old regime; he
simply says the voters want better
one, want better streets, better side
walks, better schools, a better high
school building, better tax collections,
and by inference he promises all these
things.
If the generalship that was demon
strated in the brief but brilliant cam
paign that preceded the election is a
fair criterion, it is safe to assume that
the promises made to the people will
come pretty near being kept.
The mayors suggestion as to how
to reduce the city debt will commend
itself to everyone. Hold out every
inducement possible to attract to us
labor and capital; increase our in
come by increasing our resources;
supplement the work already begun
here to develop our latent industrial
possihilities-these are some of the
lines on which it seems likely that the
work of the new administration is to
be conducted.
The task before the present board is
not an easy one, but that in under
taking it it will have the hearty and
undivided support of all right think
ing citizens may safely be assumed.

in session until a. m. on the 4th with
the hope of exhausting the demo-
cratic opposition, but Senators Teller,
Patterson and Dubois maintained a
persistent filibuster to the end. Even
the final minutes of the Congress
were married, in the Senate, by bitter
ness and anger, Mr.. Mason talking to

Bailey was endeavoring to secure a
vote. Finally, however, Senator
Cockrell proposed the usual resolu-

TO SENATOR HALE's CREDIT.
The Shelving of the Statehood Bill
for this Session.

for this Session.
washington Cor. Bangor Commercially
The final shelving of the statehood bill
for this session of Congress Is one OF the
testimonials to the leadership of Senator
Hale. He was recognized from the start
as the leader of the opposition, and, while
his leadership was in large part I'M
demonstrative and confined on the floor
to some vigorous questioning and COM
ments about certain phases Of the dis
cussion, his was the mind that directed
the fight and, in the main, blocked out the
program.
Associated with Mr.. Hale were other
leading men of the Senate, in particular,
he is not a member of any of the APP
preparation committees, had more time
than Mr.. Hale to spare for the task and
In the later days, when Mr.. Hale had all
he could possibly attend to in the ap-
preparations committee helped the Maine
man out with much OF the management
of the fight.
AT times the struggle looked doubtful
and Mr.. Hale was very much in doubt
what the outcome would be. The first
meeting at which a compromise plan was
seriously preached, was called in Mr..
Hale's committee room and to this day the
facts of that meeting and of the men who
attended it are hardly known outside OF
very few people. The scheme for two
state compromise was first started there in
Mr.. HaIe's committee room and the de-
tails of the succeeding weeks were worked
out as the fight progressed.
The work on the compromise was tact
fully inaugurated and carried on and
finally consummated so as to throw the
blame which the people OF the territories
will fix for the defeat of statehood upon
the democrats and not upon the republi-
cans. The Senate leaders, including Mr..
Hale, are entirely friendly to the two
state proposition but they are determined
that the statehood program should be a
repu blican program and not a pro-
gram to be fixed by Mr.. Quay and the
democrats.
Along that line MIR. Hale believes in ad-
hitting two states to the union at an early
day, but in the next Congress the work
will probably be attempted, only along
lines that be believes still more equitable.
the making Of state out of Arizona and
New Mexico, without any provision for
the ultimate separation of New Mexico,
and one state out of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory. The two-state program, as out
lined at the recent conference of republic
cans, could have become law but for the
democrats of the Senate, Who stood ready
to talk the bill to death.
The management of the statehood fight
has imposed upon Mr.. Hale great deal of
arduous work but it has resulted in one
particular benefit that it has left the re-
publican majority of the Senate and its
leaders complete prestige. They have not
been forced to give way to Mr.. Quay and
an irresponsible majority behind him.

The Fifty-sexenth Congress.

The Fifoy-seventh Congress has
passed into history with a most cred
liable record. Perhaps the most i'm
portant of recent enactments are the
antitrust provisions of the last ses-
sions which, it is believed viii prevent
the destruction of competition by the
great corporations, and incidentally
will facilitate the bringing to justice
those companies which attempt to
violate the law.
Both the President and Attorney
General Knox have expressed salts
faction with the progress made in
this direction, and the republican
leaders say that If it is demonstrated
that further amendment of the
statutes is found necessary, such will
be provided by the next Congress.
A thoroughly adequate and COM
prehensive immigration law has been
added to the statutes. 1t contains nc
new and radical features, but CO.
ordinates and harmonizes those en-
acted in the past.

William M. Sides, travelling salesman
for Burnett Higgins Shoe Co., OF Portland,
has been missing since Friday, Feb. IS.
Mr.. Sides came to Bar Hsrbor on one Of
his regular business trips Feb. IL, and
was here the nth, 18th and 18th. While
here he called on several OF his customers,
and took some orders.
Thursday evening, Feb. Il, he went to
the sportsmen's ball with Isaac Kramer.
He was seen on the streets here the next
morning, ana took the 10 25 a. m.
train that day. On the train between
Mt. Desert Ferry and Ellsworth
he was noticed by several Bar Harbor
men.
In Ellsworth he was seen by William
Fennelly on the same day. Since that
time he has not been seen to any body 8
knowledge, nor has anything been heard
of him. His firm has written several
letters to business men here in an effort
to trace him. The firm believes that
something serious has happened to him.
When here he appeared to be in his
usual good health and spirits. He is a
wfdower with TWO young children, girl
and a boy. He Is man OF good habits
and of excellent reputation.
he is of medium height and rather
stout. weighing probably from $50 to 100
pounds; is of sandy complexion, with
light hair and moustaehe and blue or gray
eyes.
He wore dark snit and overcoat. He
did not have his samples here with him,
as they were left at Vinalhaven. They
came, however, several days ago by the
Boston and Bangor boat and last Friday
were sent to Portland. His friends here
and elsewhere are at loss to understand
mis- sudden disappearance and continued
absence.
Every effort has been made to locate
him but thus fer without success. Up to
last Saturday his firm had not obtained
the slig htest clue as to his wherea bouts.

FROM BAR HARBoR.

Fire in Hotel Salesman Missing
Reception to New Cong'l Pastor.
BAR HARBoR, March 1o--(specisl) At
was badly Quilted by fire and water.
The alarm rung at - O'Clock, and the
firemen and crowd of spectators were
soon on the scene. The fire was confined
almost wholly at the southern end OF the
building, extending from the first floor to
the roof.
When discovered the flames were burst
ing through the wall on the first floor OF
the southern side, and smoke was pouring
from all the windows. Five streams were
soon playing, and the flames were sub
dued somewhat. The fire soon spread to
the roof, and the firemen had quite q
stubborn struggle to keep the flames from
extending to all parts ofthe building.
A ladder was run up to the roof after
some difficulty with the wires and a
stream was poured into the fourth story
window with good results.
After excellent work by the hose COM
pany the fire was under control by
O'Clock, and by 1t was apparently out.
About 80 Tuesday morning the smoul-
dering fire broke out again bat was
quickly subdued.
The Brewer is a four-story, wooden
building, formerly occupied for regular
hotel purposes. For some time, however,
1t has been used rs a lodging house. The
only occupants of the building were Mr..
and Mrs. Warren Smith and James NJ.
Stewart, who we're in bed and asleep on
the frs. floor. Mrs. Smith was swak-
ened by the smoke, and her screams woke
her husband, who rushed out and gave
the alarm. The three occupants had
barely time to put on a few articles of
clothing. They saved nothing else.
The fire is supposed to have originated
occupied by James Stewart adjoining the
hotel. The flames swept up the elevator
shaft to the roof.
The Brewer is owned by John j. Coney,
OF Bangor and Bar Harbor. The loss will
be about s. 500, insured for s. 900 wit h the
agency Of Fred c. Lyman q Co., in the
following companies: sun, Liverpool and
London and Globe, Norwich Union,
German American, and Aetna.
The basement floor is occupied by A. E.
Spurling's bakery and Thomas Landsrs'
saloon. The basement Is flooded with
water, but there was no damage by fire.
Mr.. Squirting estimates his loss as 800,
insured for $500 with the New York
Underwriters agency. Mr.. Landers car
ried no insurance.
