Mr.. Taft,s Promises.

''If am elected" Mr.. Taft has said, III
propose to devote all the ability that is in
me to the constructive work OF suggesting
to Congress the means by which the
Roosevelt policies shall be clinched."
And in that work he adds, 'sMy conscience
shall be my final political counselor"
will conserve the interests Of invested
capital for the welfare OF the country and
of the workingman.
Men who, to get rich, violate the law,
moral or statutory, must be restrained.
The statutory law should be amended
where necessary SO as to comprise the
moral law.
shall not interfere with legal combi-
nations OF capital that are beneficial and
properly controlled; but 1 shall interfere
with those made merely to control mark
cts, fix prices, restrict output, kill COM
petition.
am against limiting the proportion Of
their output corporations may own, and
fixing prices by government.
Isball take no steps to destroy great or
CARNATIONS that have q large wage fund
when prosperous, and that add greatly to
the prosperity Of the country; but shall
do my utmost to keep them within the
law.
1 am interested in legislation against the
railroads, that it shall be just and only
properly restrictive. The whole country
depends upon the prosperity Of the rail-
roads.
The principle of competition between
naturally competing lines must not be vio-
lated. And should approve an amend
ment to the law permitting useful traffic
agreements when approved by the inter-
state commerce commission.
1t will be one of the most pleasant duties
to construct legis alton that shall give
labor square deal and not more than q
square deal.
/ shall uphold the right of labor to or
ganiZe for the purpose of making itself
| properly power in the community, to
| maintain it's level in the struggle Of life,
and for dealing with capital.
shall oppose labor when, exercising its
right to strike, it injuries the property Of
its employer, and when it attemps by
secondary boycott" to compel third
and unwilling person to join the contro-
versy.
Non-nnion labor shall be secured abso-
lutely the same rights as union labor.
l shall endeavor to bring capital and
| labor into closer relations of confidence
and interdependence, and shall seek peace
between capital and labor by their mutual
recognition of their respective unions and
acceptance Of the principle OF mediation
and arbilration.-Circle MagCsine.

ELLSWORTH REUNION.
Committee Busy with Plans for Big
Annual in Boston.

Annual In Boston.
Bosroa, Feb. - Especially There will
be meeting OF the executive committee
OF the Ellsworth reunion association at
the residence OF DIR. Frederick A. Davis, 80
Huntington avenue, Boston, at 7.3O on
Friday evening, Feb. 5. All who are will
ing to help the committee in its effort to
break all attendance records at the fourth
annual reunion of the association to be
held in Paul Revere hall, Mechanics
building, Boston, Friday evening, Feb. &c,
are invited to this committee meeting.
No further invitation is necessary, and
no invitation at all is necessary for the
reunion itself That joyous affair is open
to all former or present residents of Els,
worth or of Hancock county. As every
regular reader of THE AMERICAN knows,
these reunions are in every sense informal
The great hall is open from about o'clock
in the evening until 1 or o'clock in the
morning, and everybody goes to meet his
friends.
The president this year is Mrs. G. e.
Billiard, who, with Mrs. Clough, started
the reunions four years ago, and Mrs. Bull
lard and the committee working with her
are trying hard to make the reunion of
1903 even better than that OF last year.
But the other reunions have been such
grand successes that the committee in
charge realizes that it needs great deal
OF help il last years record attendance of
over 500 is to be surpassed. This may
sound as though the members OF the COM
mittee were resting on their oars, but they
are all working, and the preliminary ar
rangements have all been completed.
Pools's orchestra, one OF the best small
orchestras, of Boston, will furnish music
for concert and for dancing. MIR. Poole
himself will conduct. Shooshan, the
well-known Huntington avenue caterer,
will have charge of the serving Of refresh
ments. Tickets to the number OF 600 have
been printed, and members OF the commit
tee and others are busy selling them.
The secretary has been requested to ex-
tend special invitations for the meeting
next Friday evening to Mrs. George W.
Dunn, OF Maiden, Mrs. Nellie Trip, OF
Somerville, Mrs. Charles Hopkins and
Miss Lillian Smith, OF East Boston, Mrs.
Kate Allcock, Of North Cambridge, Miss
Ella F. Jordan, OF Jamaica Plain, Miss
Annie l.. Jordan, of Chelsea, Mrs. Fred
Kendrick, Of Boston, Mrs. II. 8. Higgins,
OF Hyde Park, and George P. Woodward,
OF Dorchester.

CITY MEETING.
NEW ORDINANCES PROVIDE FOR
MONTHLY REPORT.
.-rrv CLERK TO ACT AS AUDIToR--NEw
ROAD AcCEPTED-RoLLs OF Ac-
COUNTS PASSED.

The regular meeting of the city govern
won't was held Monday evening, Mayor
s;monton presiding; aldermen present,
Estey. Hagan and Jordan.
Fred l.. Kent, who at the request of the
board investigated the system OF book
,,sepine in use in Waterville and else
where. reported to the board. ''In most
~ the cities larger than Ellsworth" he
eaid. .ail the city officers have their offices
in the city building, which simplifies mat
sers somewhat. In Ellsworth this seems
;mpracticable. In Waterville the city
clerk receives salary of $500 year, and
there is an auditor who receives 500 year
"The auditor keeps the appropriation ae-
counts, and maSes up monthly state
,nent for the board at every meeting. This
includes statements of the standing OF the
Collectors and treasurer's accounts,
which Off ses are held by the same man,
who has an office in the city building"
Mr.. Kent thought it would be good
,,lan in Ellsworth to have the city treas
urer's books kept on file by the city gov
eminent, to be posted up at least once
month, he to keep at his place Of business
such memoranda books as necessary for
the daily transaction OF city business. Mr..
Kent thought also that in Ellsworth it
would be practicable and desirable for the
city clerk to act Is auditor.
Acting on the report and suggestion OF
Mr.. Kent, the board made two amend
ments to the city ordinances, which were
given two readings and passed under sus-
pension Of rules. To the chapter defining
the duties of city clerk, the following
section was added:
SECTION Pile shall also audit each month
the accounts Of the collector and treasurer
and shall submit to the mayor and board Of
aldermen at each monthly meeting . state
nent In detail showing the city's standing,
with its several appropriations, the credits.
debts and balances OF each fund. He shall
receive such extra compensation for his SER
the board Of aldermen.
To the chapter defining the duties of
the city treasurer, the following section
was added:
The treasurer shall file with the auditor q
complete statement Of his accounts the last
Friday before the first Monday OF each month.
The treasurer's books shall hereby become
sud remain the property Of the city, and at
the expiration Of his term of office shall be
fled In the mayor and board of aldermen's
room.
II was voted to accept as public high
way the new east side Shore road, as laid
out and accepted last winter as a winter
road.

Growing Mint.

''Fresh mint for cooking purposes may
be had at any time by growing it in a
glass jar of water" says Woman's Home
Companion. SIT will root in less than
week, and grows rapidly. 1t is much
stronger and bushier If kept short. Don't
change the water. All that is necessary
is to add little fresh water every day or
so, and to see that the jar is kept well filled
up."
