General Isaac w. Starbird, whose
resignation as medical director OF the
Chelsea, Mass, Soldiers Home was an
nounced. last week, as the result OF Ill
health. was one Of the bravest soldiers
sent to the front by Maine in the civil
War. He was born in Litchfield IN
1899. graduated from BOwdoin in lses
and was at once commissioned cap
tain in the 18th Maine volunteers and
his regiment was assigned to the Sec
ond corps of the army of the Potomac
He was in command of his company at
the battles of Fredericksburg, Chan
cellorsville and Gettysburg, and at the
last mentioned battle he had charge OF
section Of the picket line which re-
ceived PickettS assault. He was
wounded at Gettysburg, but remained
on the field until the battle was de-
,, cided. He was in the movement when
checked Lees advance on washington
in 1863 and in 1864 he was appointed
brigade inspector and assigned TO
Motifs brigade, fourth division OF the
second army corps He participated in
the Wilderness campaign and fouSnt
at the battle of the Wilderness, Spott-
sylvania, Cold HarbOr and Petersburg.
On Aug. IT, 1864. he was appointed
major of his regiment and commanded
it at the battle of Weldon railroad,
which was fought in October of that
year. On Nov. 3 he was made lieuten-
ant colonel and a week later colonel of
the 18th Maine. Col. Starbird COM
manded the regiment in the final ad-
vance on Petersburg. and the pursuit
which led to the surrender of Lee. He
led his regiment at the battle of High
bridge on the Appomattox. which re-
suited in shutting off all possibility of
the retreat of the confederate army.
At that battle the 10Th Maine. without
any support. was ordered to hold d
bridge over the river. When they took
up their position they found it in
flames. with Lees army on the other
side. BY means of hats, boxes, cam
teens and buckets they extinguished
the flames, and although rebel brig
AIDE was thrown against them, they
held the point until the issue was de-
cided. Col. Starbird was struck in the
thigh py a bullet and fell from his
horse unconscious. 1t was thought
that the wound would result fatally,
but he rallied. and in April following
he was commissioned a brevet briga-
der general for gallantry while in
command of his regiment" At the
close Of the war Gen. Starbird entered
the customs service. and while thus
employed studied medicine. He prac-
ticed in Boston till 1895 and for the
past 10 years has been medical director
of the Home at Chelsea. Mass. He
still carries the bullet which it was
thought would kill him. 40 years ago.
He will reside in Roxbury. His son is
practicing medicine in Dorchester.

From the fertile brain of that versa
tile genius. DR.. E. Benjamin Andrews
there has been evolved another brilliant
idea. He suggests that condemned
murderers be turned over to the medi-
cal profession as subjects to try their
theories on, with the promise that II
they survive the experiments they Will
be allowed to go free. Evidently DR..
Andrews has confidence that the anti
vivisection society, which throws nj
whenever a cat or rabbit is sacrificed In
the name of science. would not inter-
fere with this plan. Under modern con-
ditions condemned murderers are IA
vored individuals, but the Andrews
scheme would give them only the same
chance with the doctors as regular
patients have.

No doubt Norway will also have cele-

they are both justified in celebrating.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Need of Forestry Work.
calais Times.)

calais TimeS.)
Maine is a numbering State, AND the
cut OF timber each year is enormous.
1t has been recognized right along, by
those engaged i'm the numbering busi-
ness. that our supply of timber would
become exhausted before many years,
notwithstanding the fact that there is
large amount of standing timber. I'M
less the utmost precaution guards the
method Of cutting and in fact the
amount cut yearly. Forestry as a
study. study of theory and study OF
practical methods, is the only means
of deliverance from lumber famine
in the United States, and with this end
in view the government has expended
every effort to interest young men to
take UP this field of work. And al
ready beneficial results are noticed,
especially in the work of the govern
ment in the field. Many of the large
logging and numbering concerns OF the
West employ expert foresters to guard
the cut on their holdings. and 1t Is estl-
mated that much has already peefi
saved by this means. There Is no more
serious question today than that which
cOnfronts the fOresters.

Names Steady Growth.
oath Times.

The growth of Maine in wealth and
population may not be as rapid as that
of some other States or as many sons
of Maine would wish, but the report of
the assessors shows that it is steady
and of no mean dimensions. We have
been adding five millions year to our
valuation for the last fifteen years and
from year to year that rate has been
quite closely adhered to. The addition
to the valuation this year was very
close to the average. Names popu-
lation, however, has taken an unusual
jump in the year covered by the report
of the assessors. The number of polls
indicates an increase of 10000 in popu-
lation, which is nearly fourth of the
entire increase in the last fifteen years.

The courts of Illinois are rough on
the autolnobilists. We have referred
several times to the celebrated
dumps" at Glencoe i'm that state,
whose existence on the highway as a
means of preventing high speed has
been declared legal by the courts, and
now decision has been rendered
which vindicates an Evanston police
man who stopped an automobile by
shooting its tire. This seems to estab-
lish precedent of much interest to the
automobiles and the speed regulators.
If it is all right to shoot tires. why
would it not be equally legal to shoot
the gasoline tank: And from that II
would be but short step to legalizing
the shooting of chauffeurs who are
violating the speed ordinance. AS a
matter of fact, the puncturing of tire
or gasoline tank by a bullet might
cause an accident that would kill
everybody in the machine. If such
craftsmanship is to be legalized, there
ought. at least, to be a closed season

The Judge and His Learned ~ Critics

(POrtland PreSS.)
The case ut Augusta of Mrs. Alice
Cooper of Windsor. charged with the
murder of Charles Northy. Jr., held for
the grand jury on probable cause and
admitted to bail in $4,000. is causing
no little comment. The Waterville
Sentinel maintains that the act of
Judge Andrews of the Municipal court
in admitting the woman to bail is I'M
constitutional. 1T is not only uncOn-
stitutional," asserts the Sentinel. but
it establishes a dangerous precedent
that sooner or later will cause infinite
trouble in criminal cases in our state
But if it be unconstitutional. being so
decided by the only tribunal competent
to cOnstrue the constitution, that
would seem to settle it and there can
be no danger of its forming prece-
dent. Nor does it appear to be the first
case on record of person charged
with murder being released or bail.
The case is cited of DR.. Jonathan
Moore of Scion, charged with the MUIR
der of Mrs. Jennie Walker in 1870. The
preliminary trial was before Judge D.
r. Bachelor of the SkOwhegan Munic-
ipal court. The judge felt that the cir
cumstances did not justify him in re-
fusing bail. and the accused was re-
leased, on recognizances of $4,000.
Subsequently he was indicted for man.
slaughter and on trial the verdict of
not guilty was returned.
The clause of the constitution in
question is as follows: :
No person before conviction shall be
bailable for any of the crimes. which
now are, or have been denominated
capital offences since the adoption of

The Boston Transcript answers most
effectively the charge of those critics
of the administration who complain be-
cause it costs more to run the Philip
pines than it did under the old Spanish
rule. 1t points out that such criticism
is based on ignorance of the fact that
ought to be patent that it costs us more
to carry on their administration than Ii
did the Spaniards. simply because we
are doing much more for them. The
Spanish idea was to keep the people
down, ours is to lift the people up
The Spaniards saved money by not
building up common school system
aud by not improving the port of Ma
Mia. If we were to leave the people
to stagnate we should save money too
but that is not our way and our way i:
the better though 1t may cost more.

branches that plague the otherwise
thrifty trees. and manufacture them
