Peril Confronting Republican

Bv w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Various inter
pretations have been placed upon the
action of the president in lending the
active assistance Of the administrators
to the regular republican ticket-otherr-
wise the Penrose machine-ln Pennsyl-
vania: Some have pointed to it as a
sure indication that the president has
an eye upon the republican nomination
for president in 1908, and for that rea-
son desires to remain upon good terms
with the organization which will in all
probability ladle out the Pennsylvania
delegates to the republican national
convention. In fact, those who take
this position would have us believe
that the president has at last yielded
to the opportunities Of his political
friends and has decided definitely to
stand for another term.

The prosecution of the Standard
Oil Co. under the Sherman anti trust
act has awakened great deal of in
terest in Washington, especially in
view of Attorney General Moody's
statement that he believes he can
push the prosecution to successful
conclusion. The Investigations of
the bureau of corporations during the
past two years have made it seem
plain enough to the average citizen
that the Standard Oil Co. has been
''caught with the goods, and the
only wonder is that the attorney
general has not included criminal
prosecution, as well as civil, i'll his in
dictment. There is little question
that criminal prosecution would be
justified, and it is believed that it
could be made to stick. But it is
thought that the moral effect of win
ming the civil suit viii be enough 10
force the Standard Oil Co. out of its
monopolistic existence and frighten
its moving spirits into fair dealing
with the public and the independent
dealers.

The dream of "tuning" wireless in
struments SO that one will respond 10
a sending station of the same tunN,
and will be deaf to all others, has
never been realized. 1t is probable,
in view Of the practical experiments
made, that it never will be. But a
system has now been devised whereby
from interference" by the other
stations, and the navy department 10
which wireless telegraphy is of the
most use, is able to ignore the opera
ton of outside stations.

Ellsworth r. Ed. Routes.

GsiisWOFth IL NOuttS.
Yesterday E. P. Boutelle, an inspector
for the postoffice department, completed
the work OF inspecting the three rural
free delivery routes running out of Els
worth.
Route 1.-The Trenton route-was es-
tsblished in July, 1901, and from the start
Edward L. Drummey has been the carrier.
Route 2-the Lamoine route-was estab-
llshed in October, 1902, and has been con-
tinuously in the hands of Frank E. Gray.
Route 3 the West and North Ellsworth
route-was established in September, 1904,
with John A. Moore as carrier. All three
carriers have been faithful and efficient
pubic servants.
The inspection found the service on all
three routes to be in excellent condition,
and the work and equipment of the car
riers generally were commended.
Besides inspecting the routes already
established, Mr.. Boutelle investigated a
il established, will be known as route 4,
or the Hancock route. This route, as
petitioned for, commences at the Ellis
worth postoffice, runs east over McFar-
lands hill, thence to the forks Of the
Hancock and Franklin roads near the
Franklin Road station, thence to Gold
ing's corner, thence back past the Frank
lin Road station to Ishka spring at the
foot of McFarland's hill, thence to Wash
ington Junction and back to the post
Office.
This route is about sixteen miles long,
and serves between fifty and sixty families.

County-Attorney Wood.

IN Il recent issue of our esteemed
democratic contemporary was covert
but very ill-concealed attack on
County Attorney Charles H. Wool,
Of Bar Harbor. His offence. in the
mind of our contemporary, seemed to
be that he had shown unfairness in
the disposition at the last term Of
court of certain liquor cases.
inns attack was so grossly unjust
and so clearly its own refutation that
at the time we thought it hardly
worthy of notice. The Bar Harbor
Record, however, in it's last issue,
comes Loyalty to Mr.. Woods defense
although he really is in need of none
and gives history of the matter
which we give below. The attack is
the more to be wondered at since
Sheriff Mayo, a democrat, assures US
that there has not been the least
friction between himself and the
county attorney in the handling
and disposition of liquor cases. The

After almost a week of elaboration,
the currency commission in session
in Washington representing the prin-
cipal banking interests of the United
States, has drawn up series of rec
concentrations which it will present to
Congress as soon as that body meets,
and which will have some show of
passing. The reform currency scheme
provides for an issue of emergency
circulation by the national banks on
basis which it is believed will guar
antee entire stability. Briefly the
scheme is to allow hanks of issue to
put out extra note circulation to the
amount of 40 per cent. of their nor
NAL bond secured circulation. This
issue will be subject to tax of 2 1-2
per cent. An additional amount up
to II per cent. of the banks CAPITAL
stock may be issued in note circula-
ton at tax of per cent. This tax
will be set aside as a special fund out
of which to redeem the notes of
banks that fail. In order that the
guarantee for the note circulation
may be ample from the time the bank
first takes out this circulation, it may
guarantee its note issue by deposit
of per cent. of the total note valu
alton in the treasury of the United
States. As its taxes accumulate it may
call for refund of this deposit, pro-
viding always that there is an amount
to its credit in the reserve fund not
falling below the per cent. of its note
issue.

ploying of an attorney, and Mr..
Deasy, and later Mr.. CLARK, we're en-
ployed. Green Bros. both took
the stand and swore that they kne
nothing of the liquor or ordering it..
Their attorneys went to the root OF
the matter, however, and looked up
the shipper in Boston, who swore that
he never knew Green Bros.
For the State Mr.. Wood employed a
prominent Boston lawyer, Edwin Low,
who investigated the Occupations,
and agreed that there was no evil
dence on which to convict.
Had a shadow of suspicion ever
rested on this firm for liquor selling
there might have been some ground
for pushing the matter, but it has
always had very clean name, and no
one has ever connected it in word or
thought with the sale of liquor. The
same thing might have happened to
any other respectable firm in Bar
Harbor, or to the clergy of the town.
with almost as little suspicion as
rested on them.
As we understand law, it's basis is
common sense, and we congratulate
the county attorney in using his com
mon sense in having this case mol
pressed. As to the Ellsworth party,
we are not familiar with conditions
there, but leave that for our esteemed
contemporary to decide for itself,
with the assistance of the court
records. However, we have sufficient
confidence in the good judgment of
Mr.. Wood to believe that he would
neither persecute nor prosecute unless
there were good evidence to sustain
the charge.

by Mrs. Farnham is copy book for
