one whose concerts has been a source of
pleasure to those who have the oppor-
tunity of hearing it. The Lewiston
band has been in existence for twenty
five years and has constantly been be-
fore the public eye. Many of the origi-
nal members of the band still play in
struments and they have been greatly
strengthened by competent musicians
who have rettled here from all parts of
the country. At the present time the
band organization is practicing nightly
on new music, both popular and classic,
and the visitors to the fair this year
will be accorded a rare musical treat.
The association has arranged for the

throughout the day and during the even
ing concert will be given on the main
street. The band will occupy the spac-
ious pavilion opposite the grand stand
on the fair grounds and give daily con-
certs.

pass away, their power largely
remains behind them.
The death of capable profess
sienal men, on the contrary, be
they mining engineers or others,
produces a temporary lull in the
activity of which they were NOV
ing spirits. Projects are aband-
oned almost in their inception,
oftentimes never to be taken up
again, owing to the loss of the
vital force upon which success
hinged.
The contrast is wonderfully
strong endorsement of the man
of constructive ability. At the
same time it places wealth in a
true light in which it is not al
ways seen or regarded. The
potency of money is oftentimes
responsible for a tardy recogni-
ton of other forces, but the in
evitable end Of all men clears the
atmosphere, if only for a mo-
.ment.

The Trained Nurse

New York, Feb. 16.-No profession
open to women is held in higher es,

The notwithstanding doctor consid

sickness as the patient considers the
physician himself. The great strides

600 by the operation of the inherit
ance tax. This is great gift to the
public and is distributed among all
who pay taxes in the state. This, in
connection with the fact that Mr.. Field
was scrupulously honest in his atti-
tude toward the tax authorities, would,
without any public requests in his will,
have marked him as a public-spirited
citizen, worthy to be remembered.
1t is scarcely open to question that
the man who deals squarely with the
public in the matter of his oontribu-
lions to the support of the government,
does more in the long run for the pub
cations to pay taxes and leaves some
of the money of which he defrauded
the public to hospital or church.
Honesty in the matter of reporting
to the Assessor does not seem to have
hurt Marshall Field. His business
prospered and his wealth grew. He
never was obliged to avoid the service
of subpoena. There Is no record OF
his having refused to answer questions
put to him in court "on advice of coun
sci" or because answering would ''tend
to incriminate' him.
His personal anu business life were
open, candid, honest, and had he never
given a cent to charity he would still
have discounted many of his contem
poraries in the difference between the
taxes he cheerfully paid and the taxes
they perjured themselves to avoid.

Pledged to the Open Door.

In taking up these questions the
powers have further pledged them
selves to preserve the integrity of
Morocco, the sovereignty of the SUI
tan and the open door. Mohammedeel
Torres is the sultan's delegate at
Algeciras and he is there with assur-
ances that any provision which can
be unanimously agreed upon will be
accepted by Morocco. The other ma
tons participating are France,
Spain, England, Germany, Italy.
Austria, Sweden, Holland, Portugal
and the United States. 1t has already
been decided that in respect to the
smuggling of firearms into the coun.
try, which has been at the bottom of
much internal disturbance, France
and Spain shall stop it along their re-
spectiye borders and Morocco herself
shall look out for the coast. Just how
sincere the nations are in protesting
their desire for the continued in
dependence of Morocco is an open
question, but in so far as they can
agree in reforms there is no doubt
they will insist upon carrying them
out
