Mr.. J W. Bracket, the enterprising
nubIisher of the Maine Woods and the
Maine Woodsman, Phillips, is a candi-
date for the Office of commissioner OF
inland fisheries and game. No man has
more intimate knowledge of the game
interests of Maine, and no man is better
fitted for the position he desires. We
understand Hon Henry o. Stanley, who
has held the Office for many years, does
not desire reappointment. If not we
feel like holding up both hands for Mr..
Brackett.

The Bangor Daily News advises some
ambitious member elect of the legisla-
ture of 1905 to start Il movement looking
to the making over of the Maine Indians
into citizens. This Is a matter worthy
of candid consideration. The News
says: Many of those who reside near
Old Town, are filled with ambition, and
it is time to get out of the old ways,
which have made nominal paupers OF
race which is capable of better things
The longer a final settlement of this
question is put off the harder any ad-
justment will be. Action looking to
much-needed change of method should
be taken at once Our present manner
of conducting Indian affairs offers no in
centive to individual effort. On the
contrary, 1t tends to foster and perpetu-
ate shiftlessness and crime"

The statement is made public by Pres
Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University
Of California, that at recent visit upon
President Roosevelt he was assured that
Secretary of State Hay has now definite
ly consented to remain at the head OF
the state department In the event OF
President Roosevelt's election. This Ia
received with the greatest satisfaction
by all American citizens who appreciate
how Important are the international
questions likely to arise within the next
two or three years. There has been ap-
prehension at various times lest Mr..
Hay, yielding to his natural liking for a
quiet life of scholarly leisure, might
withdraw from office. Mr.. Hay Is an
acknowledged leader among the great
powers of the world asa diplomat. His
achievements are world renowned and
that he will remain secretary of state
ought to count many thousand votes for
Republican success.

Dear Sir: This story cuts two ways,
and teaches two sets of people.
Father Calvin, Westerly, r. b., had
his church and residence painted. Good
job; and this is how he went at II.
Measured all carefully-seems to have
known Devoe.
Then got bids from the painters, paint
to be supplied by them and by him.
Saved $40 by using Devoe.
One of those painters ought to have
got that money.
Yours truly

Speaking of clocks said the travel
cr, Edinburgh, Scotland. has the most
interesting time marking device ever
saw. The city lies between two hills.
On one of these, known as Carlton hill,
there is an observatory tower, in the
top Of which Il large black ball is sus-
pended. Across the valley. probably a
mile away, is Castle hill, surmounted
by the historic Edinburgh castle. One
of the large guns in this fortress, point
ing toward Carlton hill, is electrically
connected with the ball in the tower Il
mile away. Every evening at 6 o'clock
the gun is fired, and at the same mo-
ment the ball falls. The device sets
the official time for all Scotland.
ut is interesting to stand on Carlton
hill at the appointed hour to see the
simultaneous flash Of the gun on Castle
hill and the fall of the ball close at
hand, while the roar Of the gun is OF
course some moments in crossing the
valley. On the other hand, it is equal

gun at dusk to watch the ball ut Carl

Of the castle, watch in hand, waiting

took place, absolutely without warning,
