The Municipal Election.

Ellsworth, which last year was car
ried by the democrats after four years
of uninterrupted republican rule, last
Monday swung back into the republi-
can column. The campaign was a
warm one, and more than for several
years past, personalities were INDUCED
in on both sides. The size of the vote
polled, in spite of a severe storm, is
evidence of the interest aroused.
The fight centred largely about the
candidates for mayor. DIR. Simonton
carried every ward in the city, while
Mr.. Stuart ran behind his ticket in
every ward except his home ward.
We have no intention or desire to
gloat or crow over the defeat of our
opponents. We recognize the fact that
it was not solely republican victory,
but that large number of democrats
shared in it. In municipal affairs in
Ellsworth, party lines have been
growing more and more elastic in re-
cent years. This year the tendency of
the large Independent vote was
toward the republicans, and the re-
publican ticket won.
Or. Simonton will have with him in
the board of aldermen a working ma
jority. In the selection of minor
officials it is to be expected that
politics will to a large extent prevail,
but after organization is perfected, it
is to be hoped that political differences
will be forgotten in concerted effort
to conduct affairs for the public good,
not as servants of party but as
servants of the whole city.
The personnel of the new board
leads us to believe that this will be
the case. Though with one exception
all are without previous experience in
municipal affairs, all are men of good
judgment and of business ability, and
we make no distinction of party in
making this assertion. We are con-
f1dent that Mayor Simonton will fill
the Office creditably to himself and to
the city, and that he will have the
support of the full board in the careful
administration of the affairs of the
municipality.
Matters of large concern to Els
worth win come before the board
within the municipal year. There
will be differences, of course, on some
questions, but let them be differences
OF Judgment rather than differences of
party. We believe the new board
enters upon its duties with the con-
hdence OF . large majority of the
people Of Ellsworth; we trust it's
administration of the affairs of the
city win be such that at the close Of
the municipal year the board will
have earned the confidence Of all the
people.

Delinquent Tax-Payers.

ihEhoNI, Me-, reo. -. 1915.
To the Editor Of The American:
The issuing of the town books will be
looked for with much interest in certain
localities, as names of delinquent tax
payers are to be paraded in print. A
new law provides that all delinquent tax
payers shall be Inundated in public print
a man may have reached his three score
and ten years, be an industrious and hard
working citizen, paying his taxes, his
debts, holding an honored place in his
native town, but If, on Dec. 20, 1907, he
failed, by reason of illness or losses, to
meet the collectors demands, his name
was rushed into poster and print. An ex-
soldier, no gave some of the best years
of his early life to the service of his coun-
try, seriously impairing his health there
by, is obliged to take his Cruel with others,
including widows and aged infirm men,
and their names appeared in public pos
ter, to the delectation OF those who de-
light in the humiliation OF townspeople
and neighbors.
A law worthy of the ones who framed
it, Now, / have always been a law-abid-
ing citizen, but must confess to being
somewhat ignorant of our new laws to
certain extent. VIII some Of our town
officials, who are SO fond OF carrying out
the letter OF the law, explain why the city
Of Bangor can give grace to her delin-
quents until Feb. -, 1908, while the town
Of fremont only gave until Jan. 1, 1908?
This law, which we must obey, looks
somewhat elastic to an outsider. OF
course it can be explained, and would
like to have it done. TAXPAYER
EDITORS NoTE-The law referred to, en-
acted by the last legislature, is not elastic.
1t reads as follows:
On and after January /, 1908, all municipal
officers of cities and towns in making out
their yearly report shall cause to be printed
in said report the names and amounts Of all
delinquent taxpayers which have been COM
mitted to the treasurer or collector for col
lection.
The fine for non-performance of this duty
shall be not less than IS nor more than SIS.
1t will be noticed that the law fixes no
date before WHICH taxes must be paid. 1t
simply recuires that after Jan. 1, 1908,
names Of delinquents shall be printed in
town reports. 1t requires the publication
of the names only of those who are delin-
quent when the municipal officers make
up their annual report. The selectmen
have no alternative. The law is no differ
ent as applied to Bangor

to Danger Therefrom.
In view OF the discussion IN ElIswort b
and vicinity as to danger from high power
transmission lines, the following letter
from one OF the best-known electrical
engineers in the country, received in reply
to letter asking as to experience with
high power lines elsewhere, will be of in
terest:
HUDSON RIVER ELECTRIC POWER co.
Mr. James 4. Leonard, Chi Engineer, Bar
Hdrbor d Union RiUer Pc rer Co.
ELLSWORTH. Me-, FEB. 27, 1905.
liEAR Mr.. LEONARD:
Your letter of Feb. rs received. The Utica
Gas Electric Co. carry a 10000 volt line
through the city Of Rome on poles about sixty
feet high without any cradles or other device
underneath the high tension wires.
The Niagara Falls Power Co. carry = GO. 900
volt line through the streets of the city of
Syracuse on steel towers about ffty-Hye feet
high.
The Fonda, Johnstown & Glovers Railroad
Co. carry 10000 volt line across the various
streets OF the city Of Amsterdam without any
cradles or other device underneath the wires,
on poles about thirty Ave feet high.
Our company is carrying 1900 volt line
through the city of watervliet on fifty foot
poles, without any cradles.
l have never heard Of any accidents, either
fatal or otherwise, to the public, due to these
high tension wires in any of the above places;
and, in fact am sure that no accidents have
ever happened. II the line is properly built
there is no more danger to the public than
there is from the ordinary 1000 volt distribut-
ing wires in cities and villages and in fact, the
danger is very much less, as the 1000 volt lines
are not nearly as well constructed and are
usually placed in close proximity to tele-
phone and telegraph wires which are liable to
drop down on the lighting wires, G using short
circuits, and burning off in some cases the
1900 volt lines.
We have never had any objections from au-
thorities in the various towns to our crossing
the highways, and am surprised to learn
that you are meeting with opposition.
can give you any further information
kindly let me know. Yours very truly,
Q. e. PARsoNs,

Your words and deeds the soul of youth ex-
press.
To those who share your daily task you show
The active years increasingly aglow
With vigorous thought, new hope and cheer
fulness.
Unwearied by the turmoil and the stress,
That other men in early life forego,
You seek new opportunities to grow.
Whence comes this quenchles. zeal - this
youthfulness9
When Ponce de Leon sailed westward bound.
He sought in vain, lured on through seas that
tossed,
For waters of that wondrous spring, re-
nowned
To bring back youth to those the years had
crossed;
But you DER reached his hapless quest and
found
The means whereby ones youth is never lost.
