DIR. Fosters Successor.
(Bangor Commercially


"The natural successor of DIR. Foster
is DR.. Philip H. 5. Vaughan, his first
assistant physician, and now the admin
istrative officer of the hospital IL is
not necessary for the Commercial to ex-
plot the fitness OF DR.. Vaughan for II e
position of superintendent or to urge
his candidacy, for without doubt when
the trustees meet for the election of that
officer DR.. Vaughan will be the unan!-
NOUS choice of the board. Still, we can.
not refrain from speaking Of the admir-
able qualities of DR.. Vaughan for promo.
ton to the position, in which he is the
only one in direc. line, now that the SUI
Jet is receiving attention OF the public.
DR.. Vaughan graduated from the
Maine Medical school Of BoWdoin col
lege in the class Of 1889 and very soon
after graduation was elected as an assis-
tant physician at the Maine insane hos
pital at Augusta. He was at that in
stitution for eleven years and during the
last of his service there, before coming
TO the hospital in this city, had under
his direct charge between 400 and 500
patients-or more than the number in
the Eastern Maine hospital. Dr..
Vaughan has been for three years the
first assistant of the hospital here and
has during this time made special
study of the new methods OF treatment
of the insane so successfully inaugurated
by DR.. Foster, with which advanced
systems he is in complete sympathy.
while many of the older physicians yet
hold to the methods of the past which
have been superseded by the new and
better treatment"

resolution is to make an opening for al
attack on the President by accusing him
Of having made war on Columbia I'M
constitutioually, without awaiting au.
thority from Congress. This charge
has been made several times, but there is
nothing to bear il out except the fact

and the Panamese to do any fighting

How and when men first learned to
make hay will probably never be
known, for haymaking is a process,
and the product Is not simply sun dried
grass, but grass which has been partly
fermented, and is as much the work
OF mems hands as -four or cider. Prob
ably Its discovery was due TO accident
but possibly man learned II from the
pikas the calling hares" OF the steppes,
which cut and stack hay for the win
ter. That idea would tit In nicely with
the theory that central Asia wasathe
'home of the Aryan race" If we Nkre
still allowed to believe 1t, and hay
making is certainly an art mainly prac-
ticed in cold countries for winter for
age.-London Spectator.

be interested In comparison made in n
recent issue of a New York paper show
ing the enormous increase In vdlue and
importance of Louisiana since il was

show thar, though the purchase plicc
may have seemed high at the time, it
was insignificant compared with the
value Of even the agricultural, or ziug
and mining products contributed by thst
section. To quote from portion of the
article:
Out of the territory thus added to the
area of the United States twelve States
Al two Territories have been formed.
The population has increased from per-
haps So 600 to 10 100000 The produc-
ton of wheat in 1900 was 2GI 600, 900
bushels, valued at ten times the entire
pa chase price. The value Of the wheat,
corn, cotton, oats, rye, barley, hay and
potatoes produced in 1900 was over $3.50
900 900. The farm animals were worth
$3.50 .0C0, 900. More than one half the
wheat and corn crops of the entire coun

The single State of Colorado produced
more gold in 1902 than the whole United
