BELIEF that THE PEOPLE OF
maine SHOULD Be CONSULTED
Opposition to any Snap
Method of Dealing With This
Very Important Matter.

Bangor Jan. 29.-The Bangor News
of this morning says:
The members of the Bangor Board of
Trade don't want the State House in
Portland. If it is going to be moved
at all, they want it to come here but,
believing this to be impossible just now,
they will use every influence to have it
kept in Augusta-al least for time.
A member of the board who under
stands perfectly the practical side of
politics said to a Bangor Daily News
reporter Monday night:
The fact that u bill providing for
the removal of the State House has
been introduced, and is now being con-
sidered by the committee on public
buildings. does not seem to have
aroused 4 great deal of comment down
this way-not nearly SO much as it's i'm
portance deserves.
Il have every reason to believe that
passage Of the bill. and will also recon-
mend tfat Portland shall be substi-
tuted for Augusta. Do you realiz,
what this means: The action of the
committee will have great weight with

tiveS from western Maine viii be lined
up solidIy fer Portand-and the result
may he that Bangor will have the NOR
tifcatioI Of seeing The State House slip
through its fingers.
We must act promptly in this mat
ter. Eastern Maine has not enough
strength in the legislature to swing the
State House to this city. Central
Maine Will vote to retain it right where
it is. Therefore the best course for
eastern Maine is to throw in it's lot
with central Maine and vote solidly for
Augusta. This might defeat Portland,
and in the years to como. when this
section of the State becomes more pop
ulous and develops greater industrial
and political strength, the question of
making Bangor the capital may be agi-
tatcd with considerable prospect Of
success.
The committee on public buildings is
to grant a public hearing on the bill
tomorrow. The Bangor Board Of Trade
will be represented by President |. X.
Stetson, and probably by other mem

At meeting OF the Board of Trade
on Monday night this question Of the
removal of the State House was dis
cussed at some length, but it was
mostly private discussion and not in
tended for publication. 1t was the al
most unanimous opinion that the loca-
ton Of Portland would alone unfit it
to be the State capital and also that it
is high time for Bangor to wake up.
On this latter proposition there was no
dissention whatever.
1t was voted to endorse the recon-
mendaIiorS of State Highway Commits
sioner Sargent. and support the State
road bill now pending before the legis-
lature.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The Senate
today began its session with a lecture
from Senator Hale who contended that
too much talking and not enough work
was being done. He had particular
reference to his inability to secure the
massage Of the diplomatic and consular.
and Notifications appropriation bills
which were on the calendar. Before the
session ended these two measures had
been disposed of.
Senator Beveridge concluded his
speech in advocacy Of his child labor
bill which has occupied three days.
His argument today was devoted to
the constitutional power of Congress to
prohibit interstate commerce in child
made goods. He was questioned some
what closely by senators who hold that
that this power of Congress over inter-
state and foreign commerce is absolute
that such commerce could be prohibited
altogether and that in all cases the
question of policy ard not of power
was the point to be considered.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Hale
took the Senate to task today because
of the disposition to talk instead of
passing the appropriation bills. He said
there were but q business days left
and as yet not a single appropriation
bill had become law.
in this remaining time" he said
"there is to be appropriated something
like $500. DOC, GOO of the revenue of the
government. There has never in my
experience been q condition when these
necessary bills were so far behind a:

The only alternative. Mr.. Hale said
was to hold night sessions and these
he should move for if the necessary
business was further delayed.
In continuing his speech III behalf o.

today presented a number Of affidavits

cotton mills and asserted that many
children under - years of age were
working in these mills.

Helena, April 29--Attorney General
Galen replied today to request for
an opinion from county attorney S.
V. Stewart, of Virginia City, upon
the following questions; In this
county some of the merchants have
what they are pleased to call auto
matte clerks They are gum mach
ines in which nickle is dropped and
the gum comes out Are these mach
ines contemplated when the term
slot machine is used in the recent
gambling law?
''Are rafflcs, such as rafting off
hair brides, prohibited by the gamb-
ling law?"
Attorney General Galcl holds that
slot machine which automatically
delivers merchandise at the regular
price, and gives no more or less than
, would be delivered over the counter,
| if the sale was made other than
