Judge Spear has denied the injunc-
ton asked for to restrain the Els
worth Power Supply Co. from erect
ing its line along Water street and the
Bayside road to the Trenton line.
From the Trenton line on through the
towns of Trenton and Eden to Bar
Harbor the company has secured an
unobstructed right of way. AS one
purpose of the company in erecting
the big dam is to supply electric light
ing to the entire island of Mt. Desert,
and as the granting of the Injunction
would have seriously handicapped the
company, the importance Of the pr,-
ceedings is at once apparent. An
extended report of the hearing may
be found elsewhere iu this issue.

THE "MoRE IMPORTANT" THINGS


Jacob A. Riis said recently: SIT is very
important 20 the city to have business
mans mayor, but it is more important to
have a workingman's mayor. 1t is an ex-
cellent thing to have rapid transit, but 1t
is a good deal more important, If you look
at matters with a proper perspective, TO
have ample Fairgrounds in the poorer
quarters Of the city, and to take the chll-
uren off the streets to prevent them from
growing up toughs.
s.In the same way it is an admirable
thing to have clean streets; indeed, it is
an essential thing to have Them but it
would be better thing to have our schools
large enough to give ample accommodation
to all should-be pupils, and to provide
them with proper Fairgrounds

cha, ge of sentiment against Bryan

unparalleled in the political history Of
of this country. Judge Taft's person-
ality and his frank and manly defense
of hls position while on the bench and
the ease with which he has exposed
the fallacies of Mr. Bryan has won for
him thousands Of votes. This trans
formation in sentimet of the American
people from Bryan to Taft is not alone
q tribute to the great aud good man
bat is a display of the discriminating
Judgment on the part OF the masses of
the American p, ople that speaks vol
umes for the political intelligence Of
the ptopIe. This is the third time that
Mr. Bryan has tried to deceive the
people into electing him president OF
the United States by visionary policies,
impra ctica BILE economic principles and
aelusive arguments. His policies and
the arguments by which he seeks to
maintain them show him to be just the
opposite of that great Kentucky states
man who declared that he would
rather be right than President.
