Insurance BY Savings Banks.

After next November the savisgs

to this effect having just passed the
Legislature and received the signature
of Governor Guild. The result of this
Massachusetts experiment will be
watched with wide interest. If it
proves failure and does not win the
expected popular support it will be
remembered simply as temporary
fad of some Boston Missionaries. If 1t
proves as a practical scheme and Il
working success. contrary to the wide
ly proclaimed predictions of the
practical insurance men, it should
develop into an institution doubling
the Importance of the present savings
banks which came themselves into
existence in the face of great Oppo-
sition. One effect of the scheme, all
ready showing itself, is reduction in
rates by the industrial companies. The
prediction is made that these will
lower their rates to the terms fixed
by the savings banks actuarics, much
as the express companies adjust their
terms to the merchandise rates Of the
mail service. Other persons maintain
that companies having to use the
methods of active solicitation and wide
advertising can never afford to COM
pete with savings bank insurance. a
difference of opinion upon which a real
test will soon be invited.
The governor will appoint board of
trustees of the central guaranty fund,
numbering seven. who will serve with
out pay, and have general supervision
OF the whole enterprise. They will
appoint state actuary and state
medical director. sallaricd officers,
supposedly familiar with the practical
details of the insurance business. The
rates and terms will be uniform
throughout the state Standard
policies will be formulated by the
state officers. with annuity features
and other various phases of insurance
business which seem to meet a legiti-
mate public need. When these con-
tracts. for such these policies amount
to. have been drafted each bank may
decide whether to embark in the bust
ness of making them. At present only
a few savings banks will take up in
surance, and whether more poin the
procession as time goes. on will depend
on the degree of public demand for the
accommodation and the profitableness
of the business as an adjunct to that OF
caring for savings. The bank will pay
on it's insurance reserve the same tax
as on its deposits. a half of one pei
cent. and thus the state will be amply
compensated for maintaining its
supervisory work.

Maine's First Catholic Church.

One Of the Boston papers, the Post,
publishes picture which it labels
''The First Catholic Church in New
England. Built on Franklin Street.
Boston, in 1899" We do not know
much about the Catholic churches of
Boston. but we do know that here in
Maine we have Catholic church
which was built in 1903 and has been
occupied continuously since that time.
This is ST. Patrick's church at
Damariscotta Mills, and the centen-
NAL of its dedication will be duly OBJ
served on July 18th Of next year. Our
Boston contemporary makes the mis-
take. of assuming that when it speaks
for 8ostcn it speaks for all New Eng
land. The mistake is not an uncom-
mon one with Rostonlans. We have
an idea that there was a Catholic
church in Boston many years before
the one whose picture is published in
the Boston Post as built in 1899; but
however that may be, st. Patrick's
church at Damariscotta Mills had been
built and occupied for a generation be-
fore that date.
OF course there had been Jesuit mis-
sions in Maine among the Indians for
almost two centuries before 1908. but
st. Patricks was the first Catholic
church built in Maine and was for the
worship of people of that faith who
were among the pioneers of Damaris
Gotta and adjacent towns. 1t was
built through the efforts of Rev. John
Cheverus, native of France, who
came from England to Boston in 1896.
In the following years he was sent to
Maine by Bishop Carroll of Baltimore
and here he labOred faithfully among
the few Catholics OF this district for a
number of years. st. Patrick S
church, as stated above. was built IN
1907 and 1903 and dedicated July Is,
1903. Its cost was $1,000 of which
$1,000 was given.by James kavanaUgh.
whose son, Edward Kavanaugh. was
later Governor of Maine.
The church is of brick, 50x25 feet,
with five arched windows on each side.
There is a cemetery of three acres
abodt it. The church is in a beautiful
location, on main road of the town,
and is an object of much interest to
visitors OF late it has been occupied
but one Sunday in each month. Doubt
less the centennial of this historic old
structure will be properly celebrated
next summer. So widely recognized
was the good work done here in Maine
by Father Cheverus that a few years
later he was made the first bishop Of
Boston. In 1923 he returned to France
when he became bishop. and in 1896
he was appointed cardinal of Bordeaux.

ence did nothing and amounted to

fall upon stony ground. Through the
first conference at Washington and the
second in Mexico and the third at
Rio .JaneirO, the consciousness grew
that the American republics as such
had certain common ideals and inter-
ests which were different from these of
other nations. because they were all
American. Thus the work of Mr..
Blaine, for which he was sneered at as
a lingo and ridiculed as 'melo-

event, and the movement to exclude
