The third trial of Nan Patterson, the
in a cab on the streets of New York,
promises to be even more sensational
than the earlier ones. Her sister and
brother-in-law, who have been fugl-
tives from justice ever since her arrest
have at last been rounded up. and it
il said that the evidence which they
will be forced to give. together with
letters found in their possession makes
the outlook rather dark for the pretty
Florodora girl. Anyway, the newspa-
per readers are assured of surfeit OF
sensationalism before the coming tria
draws to an end.

The big struggle among the high Of
ficials of the great Equitable Life In
surance Company makes it evident that
somebody must go; and when it comes
to going, young MIR. Hyde has in his
possession 81 shares out Of 100. What
ever is to be said about the personal
character of this young man, or OF his
lavish expenditures Of money, it is not
to be denied that he is a fighter. and
very interesting for those seeking to
GUST him. However the affair is set
tied it cannot be done too quickly for
all concerned

In one important respect the young
Cuban republic seems to be going back
ward instead of forward. President
Palma. i'm his message to the Cuban
Congress, points out that there was q
decrease of 9,400 in school attendance
last year. Since Cuba Is undoubtedly
growing in population. this shows a
most unfor tunate condition of things
and President Palma is fully justified
In saying that It indicates an alarming
tendency Not only the welfare and
progress of the Cuban republic. but
even sts endurance as a nation depends
upon the education of its citizens, and a
decrease of almost 10000 in the school
attendance during single year war
rants q vigorous overhauling and
prompt reorganization of its school
system. During the period of Ameri-
can occupation, and for a short time
following, there was a sudden and gen.
eral interest in its schools. MANY
American teachers went there. and
hundreds of its native teachers spent
summer in this country learning some
thing of American educational meth
cos. But at the height Of interest there
was never anything like full attend
ance at the schools of Cuban children
OF the. school age. There ought to
have been an increase of 1000 in the
school attendance last year rather than
Q decrease OF $4,000.

The Enforcement Commission.

Probably no appointments winch
Governor Cobb will be called upon 10
make during his term of office Will De
the subject Of more general interest or
discussion than that of the three coii-
missioners under the provisions OF the
so-called Sturgis bill for the Detter
enforcement of the prohibitory law
throughout the State. These appoint
ments were announced, Thursday
morning, and concerning them there
can be only one opinion. Governor
Cobb has chosen three strong men for
the commission, and if the new law
nroves a failure with such men as
these upon the commission, it Is diff
cult to believe that it would prove
success with any men filling these
nlaces. AS long as Governor Cobb is
responsible for the commission and its
work, it was the proper thing that the
amendments should be absolutely his
own personal choice, and of the half
hundred men who had been "promi-
nently mentioned" for the places on
the commission and strongly endorsed
for appointment, not one was selected.
OF the three chosen, only one, the DEM
ocratic member, had been even remote
ly suggested as a possible member OF
the commission.
Hon. Waldo Pettingill, of Rumford
Falls, Norman L. Bassett, ESQ.,, OF
Augusta, and ex-Sheriff Alfred II.
Lang of Skowhegan are the men VINO
compose the commission. All three are
men of sterling integrity and clean
records, we'll fitted in every respect 1or
the important and difficult work before
them. Mr.. Pettingill has served in the
LEGISLATURE. was a member of Cover
nor Hills executive council. and mas
been n leader in the industrial develop
ment of Rumford Falls. MIR. Bassett
is one of the younger members OF the
kennebec bar, graduate of Colby
College anu u thC lion '"',
School. He Is a sound lawyer and
amply able to furnish the legal knowl-
edge which the commission will require
in its work, Ex-Sheriff Lang of Som
erset county, was popular and eHi-
cient official. Although a Democrat
he was elected sheriff in the strong Re-
publican county of Somerset in 1907,
and ran far ahead of his ticket last
fall. All three are men of energy and
Of character. None of them
sought an appointment to the commits
sion, but having been asked by Gov
ernor Cobb to serve upon it they will
do their work faithfully and thorough
". and wherever the county or local
officers fail to enforce strictly and inn
partially the prohibitory law, THIS
commission and it's deputies will step
in and see that the work is done. The
task is not one which they are likely
to enter upon with pleasant anticipa-
tons, but that will not deter them
from doing their duty in every in
stance.

LETTERS TO EDITOR.
About British Guns.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
Dear Sir-Noting your article in a recent
issue on British guns, in reply will state
that the reason why the British make
all but their smallest guns wire wound
Is that this form of gun construction
not only gives the greatest strength for
the weight of metal used, and therefore
the greatest safety but it admits of the
refining of the gun when the rifling has
been injured, as by the premature burst
Ing of a shell in the bore, and Then it
has been worn out by continuous firing.
Thus these guns are never quite worn
out, as the older kind of buIlt-up tube
guns are, for being shrunlE together, the
inner tube cannot be bored out without
greatly weakening the gun. These guns
of wire are made in much less time than
the other kind, and there is not the ex-
actness required in Lifting them together,
and no danger of a tube sticking in the
Shrinking process, as occasionally happens
in building up guns here when the tube
has to be cut off and a new one made
and shrunk on (see navy report 1904, p.
SID. a shell too weak in tho walls may
burst in gun, yet If little too strong
1t will not burst with destructive effect
required on the target, yet bursting in the
gun strips out the rifling, az on one of
the ships of the United States some time
