1t was appropriate that the success
full fight for a clause declaTatory in the
Algeciras treaty of our purpose not
ito depart from the traditional Ameri-
can foreign policy which forbids par
ticipation by the United States in the
settlement of political questions which
are entirely European in their scope"
should have been made by such con-
sistent champion of that traditional
policy as Senator Eugene Hale, of
Maine.
There was time when Mr.. Hale's
appeals against the extension of this
governments activities to distant
lands fell on deaf ears. He endured
detraclion from every quarter for his
opposition to our Philippine policy,
but his prophesies have, in the main,
come true, and the trend of sentiment
is now rapidly setting his way. 1t
must have been a matter of satisfac-
ton to him that the republican sena-
tors rallied in such mum oers for clear
declaration, right at the threshold of
the Moroccan question. The treaty
probably could not have been ratified
but for this declaration.
1t is sufficient for the United States
to busy itself with its own affairs and
TO confine itself, as far as possible, to
the mainland. We cannot retrace our
steps in the Philippines, perhaps. The
Cuban problem will continue to en-
barrass US. But by all means let us
avoid entanglements in Africa.

James Collins, of Isle au Hsut, had a
thrilling experience recently with deer.
Mr.. Collins is musician, and left his
home at Moore's Harbor in the early even
ing to go to a dance. When about half
way he saw a dark object by the side of
the road, and the CLEAN of pair of eyes.
AT the same moment the dark object came
toward him with a rush, and he saw by
the light of lantern which he carried
that his assailant was buck deer. The
buck ran his head over Mr.. Collins right
arm, and the lantern was entangled in his
horns. In his other hand Collins carried
his cornet, and taken at q disadvantage
was hurled to the ground and injured. He
ext.icated himself in a few moments,
when the buck changed his tactics, and
with the lighted lantern still attached to
his horns disappeared in the forest.

Ss1~gfs Deputies called OU.
Gov. Coob has directed the Sturgis
commission to terminate the services
of all it's deputies on Dec. 81. This
action is taken in order that all
sheriffs may have full opportunity to
prove their intention and ability TO
enforce the laws.
This law was originally passed for
she better enforcement of the pro-
bibitory law. 1t was believed that in
some counties the sheriffs either could
not or would not enforce it, and that
some measure was necessary to meet
such cases. Under the law deputies
can be sent to any county in which,
in the judgment of the commission,
the prohioitory law is being multi
fed.
Since its appointment in April, 1905,
the commission has sent its deputies
into five of the sixteen counties of
the tate-Androseoggin, Kennebec,
Knox, Oxford and Sagadahoe.
In three of these FIVE counties new
sheriffs have been elected; in the
other two the sheriffs have been re-
elected. Regarding the new sheriffs
the governor says: SIN all fairness
TO them, and in full accord with what
/ conceive to be th5 real purpose and
spirit of the law, there can be no
question but that you should with
draw from these counties Jan 1, 1907,
in order that each sheriff may have
full opportunity to prove his inten
ton and ability to enforce the lawsu
Regarding the reelected sheriffs,
the governor says: sit may be argued
that this is no good reason for believ-
ing that they would change the course
pursued by them at the time the
commission was created, and the
course that logically and finally caused
you to take action in those counties.
But ia a sense they, too, are new of
dciaIs. They at least take new oath
of office, aad in view of the public
attention heretofore focused upon the
conditions prevailing there, it may
not be expecting too much to believe
or hope that il you withdraw from
ta@-- ~S---ties also, they, too, win I'M
dertake after January 1, 1907, to en-
force the prohibitory laws with vigor
and determination. Surely no harm
can come from affording to all sheriffs
the same opportunity to begin the
new year under precisely the same
conditions
This action of the governor seems
TO us TO be eminently wise and fair.
1t puts every sheriff on his honor,
and it rests with each one to say
when, il ever. and where, If any
where. the services OF the com mission
are io4uiled. AS the governor SAYS:
''The sheriff in every county in Maine
will be the master OF his own oppor-
tuuity, and it will be for him to dem
onstrate, as he properly should,
whether he possesses both desire and
capacity to enforce the laws of the
State without aid or interference
In concluding his letter Gov. Cobb
says: .'The enforcement com mission
itself should be retained in full au-
thority and power, ready to act again
as before, should occasion require, for
i believe more firmly than ever that
until some better measure can be de-
vised or until our present prohibitory
laws are changed, the law creating
that commission, designed as it was
for no purpose other than to prevent
notification, will ultimately win its
way and completely Justify its exis-
tencen

Game Warden John e. Bowden, of
Hancock, was in Ellsworth Saturday.
Speaking of the apparent falling off In
number of deer throughout the State, as
indicated by the reports of guides and
game wardens, Mr.. Bowdsn said. he be-
lieved the scarcity OF deer was more APP
parent than real. His own report to the
game com missioners was that there were
not as many deer in this section as in
previous years, bat he had bsen in, the
woods a great deal since the snow came,
and if he reported now would say there
were just as many deer as ever. Hunt
ing conditions were hard, the woods
noisy early in the season, and. the deer
kept out OF sight. Mr.. Bow den said
there were many cow moose wintering in
Hancock county this year, and he will
make it his special business to see that
they are not moiested.

about her brow, inscribed with the word LIB
erty."
This fashion prevailed down to the day
when the coinage of the big copper cents ceased
in 1856, and the smaller cents of alleged metal
were issued. The first of the small cents was
issued in that year, and had on its reverse the
image of an eagle in fight. Subsequently the
Indian head, which has continued in vogue, ap-
peared.
The collection, while of historical value, il
Illustrates the fine distinctions made by numis-
matists The coinage of one year Will be di-
vided into several varieties. A variety may
owe its origin to the accident of broken die,
the cent showing on its face slight mutila-
ton that would hardly be discovered with a
microscope.
Then varieties were produced also by the
whim of the die-sinker or engraver who de-
sired to put his ''fect" or private mark on his
work. This he did by emitting or adding a
berry to the wreath, giving little curl or two
to the stem, DETECTING letter somewhat, or
making some other modification which the
casual observer would never notice, but the
numismatic will at once recognize. -
| Two big copper cents, issued in 1917, are
among the rarest in the collection. These
have the liberty heads well defined; but on
the top Of the head, over the liberty cap, is q
small protuberance, which. under u micro
scope, appears as crown.
Doctor Nagle says this is representation
| of the British crown, and was cut in the die
by an engraver of British proclivities, who
thus coyertly set the British crown over the
American liberty head.

one another, when suddenly, the vessel gave
a decided pitch that brought them all to their
feet; for although it was blowing, there was
only the slightest ripple upon the water, and
not enough to move the vessel.
Soon came another jerk that almost threw
the now terrified men off their feet. and come
one cried out that it was an earthquake.
Rushing to the side, they saw that what,
ever it was they were under way, and moved
along rapidly by some mysterious agency.
The men became completely demoralized,
and were for taking to the boats; but the
captain, who had run forward and saw the
something perhaps whale-had fouled the
anchor.
A rush was made for the windlass to cast
off the chain, some of the men thinking that
perhaps their unknown steed would carry
them to the bottom; but the chain was found
riveted so that it could only be filed off.
| All this time the vessel was increasing her
speed, and dashed along, throwing the spray
