On motion by Mr.. Shaw of Sagada-
hoe, it was ordered: The House concur
ring that joint select committee of
three on the part of the Senate, with
such as the House may join, be appoint
ed to consider the matter of advertis-
ing Legislative hearings, and to report
by bill OF otherwise. proceed
ings Feb. 10th.
1t is quite time something was done
in this direction. Daily papers are
given, notices of hearings of purely local
interest to sections of the State they do
not reach, while the local newspapers
are ignored. This is not right or bust
ness-like. Hearings of interest to Wal
do county only have been advertised in
daily papers in Portland and elsewhere,
and no notice given in the only news
paper published in Waldo county. 1t
is clear case of graft and it is time it
was looked into.

LETTER TO F. L. TOOTHAKER.
RETEAST NE

Dear Sir: Some think we take good
deal of risk in inviting complaints of Devoe
observation-disclosures authorize our agent to
sell it under this guarantee:
'.If you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting it on, or here
after in the wear, tell your dealer about it.
"We authorize him to do what is right at
our expense"
The following story tells how the risk is ::
j. Fl. Asher & Co., hardware dealers,
Rhinebeck, N. Y; have sold Devoe from '76
to now have sold thousands of gallons and
have had just one complaint in all this time.
Three sides Of a.hOuse were perfect; the
fourth was as bad as the three were good.
Explanation-It rained the night before
the fourth side was painted; and the paint
ers didn't wait for the wood to dry.
What is done in such case? Whatever
the dealer, who sold the paint, considers it
fair to do. We leave it to him. He may
not do exactly what we should do if we
were there; but we are not there. The best
we can do is to leave it to him.
Yours truly
F. w. DEvOE & co.

One of the most important bills be-
fore the Maine legislature is that pro-
posed by Hon Albert A. Burleigh of
Houlton, entitled can act to empower
the county of Aroostook to purchase
and acquire title to lands adapted to
agricultural purposes in said county"
What the county needs now, says the
Aroostook Republican, is more lands to
develop, more vacant townships to make
ripe for the ever onward march of civil
liZation, more fertile soil to be opened
up to the eager and thrifty husband
men who only await the opportunity,
more unbroken tracks of wilderness to
reclaim and add to the productive acres
already under high cultivation and
yielding their abundant harvests There
are in the county upwards Of 1900, 900
acres-a territory lacking but few
square miles of being equal in size to
the whole State of Massachusetts. AS
yet but narrow strip along the eastern
border has been settled. The major
portion is still in its wild state, but
open it up, or at least a portion, let the
door of immigration swing inward but
ever so little, and in the space of few
brief years the now almost unknown
lands would be as inviting, productive
and prosperous as the older townships.

are now in the hands of a comparative
ly small number of individual owners
who it is understood are loath to part
with their possessions to those seeking
farming lands. In the bill now before
the legislature it is proposed to remedy
this. Briefly stated, the plan is to en-
power the county commissioners to is
sue the county's bonds for an amount
not exceeding one per cent. of the
county's valuation for the purpose of
purchasing any whole township or
townships which they may deem ad-
visable and open them up for settle
| ment, causing to be made accurate
maps on which shall be laid down all
streams, ponds, lakes, falls, mill-sites
and roads, etc, the deeds of the land to
run to the inhabitants of the county.
These lands are to be sold to settlers at
price not less than two dollars per
acre; and the settler shall establish his
residence on his lot within two years
from date, shall clear on each lot not
less than fifteen acres, ten of which
shall be laid down to grass; also to build
dwelling on said lot This is bill
which fought to pass"

The Brunswick Record says of the
Sturgis bill: There have been cases
in which county attorneys neglected to
prosecute clear violations of the liquor
law after the offenders were properly
brought before the court. There also
have been cases in which judges have
winked at settlements made by county
attorneys when they knew that jail
sentences were merited Even jures
have sometimes returned verdicts of
not guilty when the evidence was clear
ly against the respondents. All these
things show what big problem the
proposed commission has to face. But,
supposing the commission is given u1l-
limited authority, who is going to COM
pei the commissioners to do their duty?
The Governor? Then, why does the
Governor need a commission? If the
Governor really desires to enforce the
law, let him be given whatever ad-
ditional authority he wants, and let
him be directly responsible for the ex-
ercise of that authority"

Piety of Washington,

Rev. w. j. Houck, pastor of the Memorial
United Brethren Church, preached on THE
Pety of Washington yesterday morning
He declared that it was the virtue of piety
that was the foundation for all of our first
Presidents greatness as a soldier, states
man and patriot
His greatness said Mr.. Houck, sis not
owing to a studied aim at a brilliant, me-
teor-lke career after the fashion of Bona
parte he was ratherea reserved man, sober
in his aims. 1t is not to be sought in a
spirit of fearless bravery or unparalleled
heroism; hundreds have come up to him in
this respect. He was distinguished for his
becoming modesty and humility. His great
ness is to be sought In thefgoodness of his
heart and in the purity of his life.
I'VE believe it necessary to hold up great
men, such Washington, as examples of
piety and virtue, inasmuch as it is becom-
ing fashionable to regard religion as an
idea that is behind the age. How many
Presidents since the days of Washington
have identified themselves with the church
of Christ during their term of office? How
few seemed concerned to honor that piety
which gathers with such delightful SAVIOR
around the name of the illustrious Washing

Wireless for Lightships.

The lighthouse authorities have definitely
decided to equip the lightships stationed on
the Diamond shoals, off Cape Hatteras, on
the coast of North Carolina, with wireless
telegraph outfits, and it is more than prob
able the chain of lightships on the Atlantic
coast will also be fitted with the wireless
apparatus.
Diamond shoal ship No. II, now In Bal
timore being overhauled will be fitted with
the instruments. and the wires will be run
from her masthead to the deck before she
leaves port for her next tour of duty on
the station, in the latter part of next
month and No. ~, which is now on the
station, will be equipped as soon as she re-
turns to port
BY means of the wireless service on the
ships the lighthouse authorities believe that
efficiency of the service can be greatly i'm
proved by giving timely notice of wrecks
on the shoal, thus enabling the life savers
to reach them hours before they do now
when the wreck is far out on the Shoal and
hidden by fogS or spray. The ships will
communicate with the life-saving station
on Cape Hatteras or with Norfolk. the
wireless system having been established at
both points.
