KERN IN CABINET.

A great deal OF Interest has been
aroused by dispatches from Lincoln
quoting MIR. Bryan as saying that. In
the event OF his election To the pres
idcncy. he will invite Vice President
Kern to n seat In the Cabinet.
For years numerous plans of max
ing the vice presidential Office more
important one have been discussed,
and seat for him In the cabinet has
oftea been proposed. The late
President Mckinley was very dcsir-
Gus ci increasing the prestige of the
second place and consulted with vice
president Hobart on many important
questions. Mr.. Hobart was not,
however. invited to regular seat at
the presidents council table. though
he not unfrecuently by special invi-
tation attended cabinet meetings.
Had not Mr.. Hobart's death occurred
early In the administration IL Is very
likely he would have come to be an
influential figure. The death OF
President Mckinley occurred so soon
after his second election that there
was little opportunity for him to take
Vice President Roosevelt into ad-
ministration councils. There has been
little sympathy between President
Roosevelt and Vice President Fair
banks. and the latter has been In no
sense an administration advisor.
The Lincoln dispatch says Mr.. .Bry-
an will invite MIR. Kern to seat In
the cabinet even though he cannot
hold such q position ofrciaiiy." This
is an echo OF popular misconception.
The constitution makes no provision
for such q thing as Q cabinet for the
president. The next president could
entirely abolish cabinet meetings
with one-half his department heads.
excluding the other half. and still
the Law would be satisfied. Or. he
could hold meetings Of cabinet
composed OF the vice president. the
speaker Of the House and the color
ed messenger at the White House.
and there IL no law that could say
him nay.
Were q place to be made at the
cabinet table for the vice president
he would be there 'oficially" Just
rs much a. the secretary Of state or
the attorney general. The cabinet
IL the creation Of custom. not Of law.
Al first the heads of the several de-
partments met informally with the
president to talk over matters Of In
interest. Gradual |
ly these meetings became formal af-
fairs and held on stated days. But

WATERVILLE.
A VETERAN OFFICER.
Interesting Career Of Hiram P. Thing,
Formerly of This City.

The following sketch of Hiram P.
Thing of Skowhegan, who has worn a
police badge in Somerset county for the
past IS years, will be of interest to ma
ny in this city. Mr.. Thing was born in
Waterville on Oct. %, 1872, the son OF
Joseph and Oliver (Folsom) Thing. he
remained in that town until 1850, OBJ
tanning his education in the common
schools. Then he went to Winthrop,
where he obtained a situation in a no.
tel. The Civil war broke out and Hi
ram enlisted in Portland in the Me-
chanic Blues of the First Maine 1nfan-
try. The regiment did duty in WASH
ington, D. c., and he served three
months.
Returning to Waterville he went I"
steamboating on the old steamer Au-
gusta, which run between that city,
Bath and Bo0thbay. He was en-
played on the boat for two summers,
working in Waterville during the Win
ter with his father, who was engaged
in the ice business.
From Waterville he went to Provi-
dence, r. T., in 1863, working with his

Annual Ball of Kennebec
Lodge, No. 343, B. OF R, T.

The ninth annual ball under the aus
pieces of the Kennebec Lodge, No. 343.
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, was
held at the armory last evening and the
event will go down in the annals of that
lodge as one OF the foremost Of its So
cial functions. For over a month a COM
mittee has been working in the interest
of this evening and their work from the
suit of their labors was clearly shown
by the grand success scored last evening.
The hall was lastly and artistically
decorated with colored bunting which
hung in long streamers from a center on
the ceiling to all parts of the hall. Tho
balcony was gorgeous in its illuminated
decoration and the bunting was irtermin-
gleG with green and red lights. On the
stage where the orchestra was seated was
a bank of decorations. Two large head
lights bore the numbers ''343' and 1905"
The guests of the evening began to ar
rive shortly after 3 o'clock and were d.
lightful!y entertained with a concert rer-
dered by the Leahy Orchestra of seven
pieces. Their work was excellent
throughout the evening and received
fay orable comments.

SKOWHEGAN.
The Towns Valuation.

The board of selectmen has COM
pleted its work of assessing the valu-
alton of the town in order to assess
the tax rate for 1908. 1t will be 10
mills or $40 on $1,000. This is one mill
less than the rate last year. This is
SO lower than the average for the
State which is $22.
The amount to be raised this year
is $73,S16 against $77.55O last year, a
decrease of $3734. The valuation of
real estate last year was $2,678.555.
This year it is $2,674.775. falling off
of $3.50 But the net gain in valua-
ton is $15,195 from the fact that the
gain in the value Of personal estate
is $18,975. Last year 1t was $969,020
while this year it is $987,995.
Last year there were 1888 polls. This
year there are 1908. a falling off Of
1875. This is due to the fact that work
has been slack in the shoe fa.tory,
the wooden mill and the worsted mill
and many who found employment in
these three manufactures have been
obliged to leave town. This reduction
of II on $1,000 will make quite a diff
ference in the taxes Of the heavy tax
payers and it will probably be ap-
preciated.

it is more doubtful if there was spot
in the hall with the exception of the
floor that did not bear a decoration.
Decked with flags of nearly every COL

hooded with Japanese coverings, the
ceiling was a mass of beauty. Lave
curtains overhung all the windows and

on, the juries having been allowed OF
go and the case heard before Judge
King. The plaintiff in this case is AL
eXander Johnson, who sues on a lien
on logs to recover for time spent in
driving the logs, he having been in
the employ Of Charles L. Jackson. The
ease is one of many against jackson
and logs and a small army Of attor-
neys are here to try out their cases.
Tie attorneys in the Johnson case for
plaintiff were Hon. S. S. Brown Of Wa
terville and w. H. Powell of Old Town.
The attorneys for the defence are
Judge Louis c. Stearns and Taber D.
Bailey of Bangor. Other attorneys who
have cases against Jackson and the
