Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1906-02-28

Whenever New England members Of the
house get into tight place and want to
marshal votes for or against measure
that affects their section of the country,
they almost invariably look up ex-Gov.
Burleigh, and ask him to ascertain what
can be done. As rule the New England
state delegations do not pull. together very
some special New England bill comes up
that they are found touching elbows.
Massachusetts,, for instance, having the
largest delegation from that part OF the
country, wants to go it alone. But the
bill now pending to consolidate customs
districts throughout the country and
swallow up many of the smaller collectors,
strikes especially at New England. Maine
is much affected by the proposed legis-
lation; so is Massachusetts,.
1t began to look pretty dark for those
small collectors. Chairman Payne, OF the
ways and means committee, reported the
bill, which had been virtually drawn by
Secretary Shaw. With such prestige, es-
pecially when Speaker Cannon and
Chairman Tawney, OF the sppropria
tions committee favored it, the Till
stood good nance of passing. Sena-
tor Hale might have stopped it
over in the Senate, but there are many
legislative loads on the back of the senior
Maine senator, and naturally the mem
bers of the Maine delegation in the House
feel that it is their duty to tighten them as
much as possible. So without any blowing
of trumpets, Gov. Burleigh quietly set
about seeing what could be done to pre-
vent the enactment of the customs reor-
ganization bill in the House.
Nobody has ever found out just how the
governor went about it. He was busy
several days moving about the House, on
both sides of the centre aisle, invading
first the republican cloak-room and then
the democratic cloak-room, getting up a
combination of members who would make
majority. AS the opponents of the bill
knew his cleverness in managing such
things, they left the work to him. After
nearly week of hard work he told those
most concerned that he guessed it was all
right now. 1t was not long after that
Chairman Payne invited test, and the
governors word proved true. He has been
much congratulated on his success

Senator Hale has accomplished a good
task during the past week in having
passed a bill, likely to become a law.
amending the present laws with reference
to hazing. The bill was framed largely by
him and ON his advice, being calculated
to prevent the undue punishment of naval
cadets for innocent pranks, but putting it
IN the power of the secretary of the navy
to dismiss cadets who persist in hazing.
That gives the secretary about the same
authority over the cadets in such matters
as the president of college has over stu
dents whose conduct is so reprehensible
as to make their retention in the institu-
ton undesirable. The present laws leave
no discretion to be exercised, and if a boy,
however promising his career, and how
ever trivial his offense, is found guilty,
ther is no way open, after his conviction,
but o dismiss him.
.ator Hale felt that some action was
imperative by Congress and with others of
ms way OF thinking on the subject, put
through the bill, which permits of no
ttaVorltlsm, and is expected to ensure bet
ter administration.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1906-02-28

Gov. Burleigh has filed with the post
office department petition asking for the
establishment OF rural free delivery
route out of Ellsworth, running mainly
into the town of Hancock, but including a
few homes in Ellsworth and Lamoine.
People in West Hancock would welcome
the route, but there is some opposition to
it over Egypt way, but as the postoffice
there is mile or more from the nearest
point to the proposed route, there is no in
tention of abolishing it. When this fact
becomes known, it is likely that what
little opposition there is will subside.
The postoffice department has promised
Gov. Burleigh that E. P. Boutelle. of Ban
gor, the rural free delivery inspector
stationed in Maine, will be sent over into
that region before long to look around
and recommend what should be done,
Gov. Burleigh has several errands of this
and kindred character for Mr.. Boutelle
to do. Because of Gov. Burleigh's ac-
tivity in pressing requests for rural
delivery in various parts of his district,
the department is referring many matters
to Mr.. Boutelle for report, and It takes a
little time to secure reply from him.
he has proven very efficient inspector.
and thereby has been of great service to
Gov. Burleigh in taking up rural route
matters with the department.

Sells Shoes "1roken In"

One clerk who had earned the repu-
tation of being the best saleswoman in
the shoe department was asked the
secret of her success.
Il sell all the shoes that have been
returned" she explained. THE other
girls are afraid to show them. but
find them the best sellers. Our house
is liberal in its treatment of dissatis.
fed customers, and we get back a
good many pairs of shoes that have
been worn around the house until they
are partly broken in. These shoes are
much more comfortable than a brand
new pair. The soles may be trifie
soiled. but the customer who puts ease
above every other consideration does
not mind that, consequently sell
shoes while the other girls only fiji
them on."--N. Y. Globe.
