The President is certainly the gamer
by the publication of his letters to the
StorerS These letters We're written
privately to people whom he counted
among the intimate friends of himself
and his family. They We're never in
tended for publication. and yet they
show that the President carries into
private life the same high sense of
responsibility that characteriZes him
as a public official. The publication of
these letters has only served to
further strengthen him in the conf
dence and esteem of the American peo-
pie for they reveal, as his more formal
official utterances do not, the sterling
qualities Of loyal friendship that
never for one moment loses sight Of
what is due the great nation whose
highest interests he has closely at
heart, and which he serves with an
ability, rugged fidelity to duty. and
an efficiency, that has justly endeared
him to his countrymen.

The Massachusetts, State Grange
holds its annual meeting a week earlier
than the Maine State Grange, and is
now in session in the historic Fanueil
hall in Boston. Naturally the order is
less strong in Massachusetts than it is
here in Maine, since Massachusetts, is
a state of large cities, and one whose
manufacturing interests are much
more extensive than it's agricultural
interests. 1t has, nevertheless, 275
subordinate oranges with total men,
bership of $4,000, about half the men,
bership OF the Grange in this State.

What the death of the Shah will
mean to Persia is quite q puzzle. Va
riOus European countries. Germany,
Russia, England, and Turkey, have
had designs upon the Persian empire,
and it is possible that the death Of the
ruler of the country may precipitate
the trouble which has been brewing for
a long time. Few countries have re-
sisted the progress of civilization more
obstinately than Persia, and it may
pay the penalty by being deprived of
what independence it still possesses
before many generations have passed.

the better of it in his controversy with
Bellamy Storer, but it is, nevertheless,
an unfortunate and regrettable epi-
SOde. Mr.. StOrer seems to have
lacked the first elements of diplomat
or public servant, and it would have
been well for our government if his
official head had been removed earlier
than it was. 1t is also plain that Mrs.
Storer's ambition and poor judgment,
to use no harsher terms, were enough
to wreck any dilomat's career without
ings.

Quite a number of Massachusetts
people now find themselves living i'll
Connecticut. and quite number Of
people who have hitherto supposed they
resided in the Nutmeg State now find
themselves citizens of the old Bay
State. All this is the result of Il re-
survey OF the boundary line between
these two states which has just been
completed. Local surveyors and town
officials during the past century or two
had succeeded in getting the old lines
out of place in many instances. In CT
der to make such changes less frequent
in the future several hundred big
boundary stones have been ordered and
will be set up along the line.

They are talking good roads down in
Connecticut, as they are in almost all
of the progressive states of the union,
and the problem seems to be whether
to do just a little each year, paying
for it out of the regular income of the
state. or to issue bonds and build bet
Ter highways all over the state on a
scale that would give Connecticut a
real system within a few years. OF
course an issue of good roads bonus
would mean state debt and as Con-
hecucut now is without any state debt.
TINS idea meets some opposition. The
Hartford Courant pertinently remarks
1t sounds very neat and thrifty to
say we have no state debt: but a debt
ior winch we have got more than our
moneys worth indicates better busi.
ness management than no debt and =,
'acN Oh desirable-even necessary
'h'ngs that We could have if we wop,,
use our credit to get them"

ditions found prevalent among the
herds which supply Hallowell have
aroused more or less uneasiness among
the people Of our own city. Would it
not, therefore, be for the interests of
our milkmen to ask for an examination
of their herds? If their cows are not
diseased and they are supplying good
milk. they have nothing to fear from
such an examination, and its result
will have the effect of allaying the pub
lie uneasiness. If there are diseased
COWS in their herds. and they are sup
plying milk which is dangerous to the
public health, there is much more rea-
son for such an immediate inspection
and examination. 1t is the duty of the
Augusta milkmen to take the initiative
in this matter, and it is for their own
interests as we'll as a duty they owe
the public for them to take this step
without delay. 1t is a case where it is
much better to be safe than be sorry.

made vacant by his death on the board

an honorary degree from Bowdoin and
was a loyal friend of the college which
he served for many years as trustee.
No college has a more eminent list of

AS rule the stores have their stocks
of Christmas goods displayed and it is
now up to the buyers. on general prin-
Ciples it is a good rule TO buy early
and avoid the rush of the last few days.
for thus better selections may be made
and the clerks have more time to at
tend to customers. Those who put off
buying until the last minute may be
divided into two classes. those who are
negligent and those who haven't the
backbone to stop when they once be-
gin and so are apt to buy more than
the occasion demands under the inn
pulse of the holiday spirit. For this
latter class representation sometimes
spells Solvency.
