are under discussion. looking to the

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Maine Indian Funds.
lfOrlland PreSS.l

I~ItSS.t
News comes that State Auditor
Hatch has discovered that the amount
of the Penobscot Indian fund listed
among the States liabilities is too
small by nearly 81 1000. This fund as
by the last report of the State treas
urer stands at $13,S2S, on which the
State is bound to pay six per cent.
interest forever. Mr.. Hatch finds that
an early law required that all unpaid
interest should be added each year to
the principal of the fund. On the baS-
is of compound interest therefore he
completes 4 discrepancy of S16,909 be-
tween the amount charged on the
books and the amount actually OWED;
by the State that is, that Indians
should be credited with d total of $780,
49, instead of S13.S2S. which would add
Si014 to their present income. The in
ference is that it is the same with the
Passaraquoddy fund, which by the
last report stood at $3.99i IT is q
matter for the Legislature to rectify.
and if it is settled that the auditor is
right. presumably this will be done a.
the next session.
Thereby hangs a tale. In return for
the loyalty of these tribes to The colo
MES in the war for American indepen-
dence the Massachusetts, Legislature
made a treaty with them setting aside
several townships of land for their use

Practical Work by Wireless.

Wireless telegraphy is proving any
thing but the plaything which many
slleptical people said it was. It's prac-
teal use has been demonstrated many
times of late, not merely in the prompt
transmission of important news across
| long stretches of space. but also IN
cases where it was the means OF saving
! lief ard property. Vessels on the
OCEAN have reported to others within
reach that the steering apparatus was
| disabled and that there would be delay
in reaching port. This information has
brought relief to tic anxious friends
of passengers and has quoted the ap-
preilensions of company officials. In
some cases disabled steamers have been
towed into harbor as result Of WIRE
less communication.
In tie news columns the other morn
Ing there were two instances of the
practical benefits of this remarkable
invent ion which few of us pretend TO
understa Id. There was the case of
III. Fall River line steamer Providence
When % miles from New York fire was
discovered on the freight deck. The
lives of so passengers would have been
imperiled under former conditions of
travel. Because Of the possession OF a
wireless equipment it was possible 10
send ont call for aid to another ves-
sci of the same company When the
relief steamer came the passengers
were transferred without unnecessary
excitement Freed from the anxiety
regarding the human freight the Off
GERS and men soon put out the fire, to
which they directed their entire at
tertion The value Of the new form Of
communication from a personal point
of view was illustrated in the news
pape,S III the same late i'm tho case of
d wealthy Chicago citizen. He
was taken with serious illness
while homeward bound from Eu-
rope. y message was ser hy
wireless which. forwarded to Chicago,
secured the attendance of friends and
family physician al the pier awaiting
the arrival Of The incoming steamer,
The two cases are typical. They are
quite likely to be repeated many times,
for every liner nov has its wireless
Topography plant There may he occa-
si,ns when the disturbing elements Of
nature may Interfere with the correct
transi Mission Of tidinss. But the evil
dencc is cumulative that there has been
q distinct addition to the facilities for
conducting the practical affairs of life
by he Introduction and perfectnG of Il
m,thtd of communication which, ONLY
Il short time ago was counted Il strange
and curinu, device whose positive value
was G.cmCd uncertain.
