From information received at the Of
flee of the Board Of state Assessors it
is learned that the number of people
who have come to Maine for their
summer outing during the season which
is now drawing to Il close is about the
same as usual, and that the totals if
figured mp would not show much of a
change from those Of the season of
1901 When the assessors were on their
trip through Hancock and Washington
counties two weeks ago, on the occa~
sion of their visit to Bar Harbor the
report received from that resort was
that there We're about the same num-
Der of summer visitors in the town
as in previous years. but that feature
which was noticeable i'm connection
with the season was that the visitors
did not appear to be spending so much
money as usual, which may have been
due to a spirit of economy ene"ndcred
by the recent financial Stringency. The
same is considered true of the other
coa"t resorts, as we'll as those inland.
as the heavy travel on the steamboats,
and the railroads of Maine since The
vacation season came on showed that
people from other states We're fiockinG
to Maine is about the same numbers as
they had in previous years.

that the cows would leave a feed of corr

tings for an acre. Mr.. Burbank says they will
grow anywhere, almost, and In two or three
years an acre OF land would support through
several months In year all the live stock on
an ordinary small farm. This would reduce
the amount OF land needed for hay and increase
the amount for vegetables, grain, etc. 1t can
be seen at glance what an addition this would
be to the farm, !! oil the now waste land could
be so utilized as to double the forage. And
there would be no trouble except to get It

who find pleasure In 1.-THE Fast Mall" wen.
detta." and 1.-The Streets OF New York." it
was largely attended by this class and as
heartily enjoyed by them as by those who pro-
fess to better discernment. Perhaps the two
appreciated the play from different viewpoints,
but the point OF interest Is that the play held
the entire audience more closely than most
plays hold any portion Of an audience THE
Man OF the Hour" gives promise OF being a
show equal to "The Lion and the Mouse" In
dramatic strength and In It's fascination. The
play Is . portrayal OF the machine politics.
that dominate the towns and cities Of this ma
tion--in fact the nation itself-and woven into
the portrayal is love story Of intense interest.

In the famous trial OF John r. Walsh,
whose alleged incorporation Of funds caused
the ruin OF so many banks, one Of the signif.
can't facts brought out was that the conditions
complained Of we're discovered by the National
bank examiner 10 November, 1904, June, 1905,
and December 1905, and that, 10 each case,
Walsh was warned to mend his ways and
promised to do so. The guilt in the matter
seems therefore to be as much on the heads Of
the authorities Of the law rs on anybody else.
1t ought not to be necessary to warn man
more than once, after which prompt action
should be taken to compel him to conform to
the law. But the fact Of the matter is that
neither law nor officials. have ever given the
depositors 10 banks any definite and certain &c.
curity. There are countless laws to make the
banks absolutely secure, but what law ever
gave the same assurance to the depositor? The
people Of the country, the depositors, have lest
many times more money through dishonest
bank officials than the banks have lost through
depositors, yet the laws are to protect the
banks. It's time the law makers at Washing.
ton got busy on some measure calculated to
protect the ordinary citizen from Walshs. the
victims Of Chadwicks, such fellows as SchettleI
and the unknown rascal that may be In any
banking institution In the country. Here's a
chance for our friend Howell to make noise

SHALL We CONSOLIDATE

Three objections are urged against consoi.
dalton Of Cache school districts One says the
consolidated districts would have to assume
the bonded indebtedness OF two or three dis.
tricts, amounting to s35,ooo. He says, wait
until the districts PAY of their bonds. An.
other says there 10 = probability Of some small
schools being dispensed with, thus placing
small towns at disadvantage. The third man
says no man capable Of looking after one.ffth
Of the county satisfactorily can be secured for
1900 year, the salary Of trustees under con-
solidation.
As The Republican sees it neither objec.
tIon holds good, and II all three were good
there are many excellent points In favor Of
consolidation that would completely over
shadow such objections as are offered above.
As for the first one-a delay until the bonded
districts get rid Of their Indebtedness would
mean delay Of from ten to fifteen years. Con.
sdering the fact that one mill tax for six
years would clear this indebtedness, and with.
out any Inconvenience Of the consolidated dis
tricts. 1t seems absurd that there should be
any delay on account OF that $4,000
The second objection fails to hold good for
the reason that II any Of the six or ten.pupil
schools are closed ample provision for these
pupils will be made. They will be hauled to
some school where their chances for an educa.
tion are 500 per cent brighter than In the
smaller school where classes and competition
are impossible.
The third objection is merely an expression
Of belief, with which others have a right to
differ. We expect the County Commissioners,
three In number, to take care OF Cache county
on a salary exactly the same as a trustee under
consolidation would receive, and as rule these
commissioners. though each has to look after
one.third OF the county, give very satisfactory
service In counties where consolidation has
been tried excellent men have been found to
serve as trustees at $500 year. and we doubt
not that Cache would meet the emergency
splendidly.
In Salt Lake county consolidation increased
the attendance Of pupils from so per cent to Is
per cent At the present time but slightly
more than 50 per cent Of the children Of school
age are attending the required twenty weeks.
An increase Of % per cent, as In Salt Lake
county, would mean an increase Of 800 pupils
in the county schools. The possibility Of Civ
ins That many pupils some sort OF education
ought to 0vershadow every objection heard up.

ter organization and grading Of the schools, the
