OBITUARY..
,aas. LEVI B. LEWIS.


Alice Whitaker, wife OF Levi B. Lewis,
OF Hopkinton. Mass, died yesterday
morning At the hospital in South Framing
ham, Mass, after q surgical operation.
Except to few relatives and intimate
friends here, 1t was not known that Mrs.
Lewis was in critical condition, and
news Of her death was a sad shock.
Mrs. Lewis was the daughter OF the late
Capt. NJ. NJ. Whitaker, of this city, and
was in the thirty-eighth year OF her age.
Her home was in Ellsworth until October
q, 1907, when she was married to Mr.. Lewis.
She leaves a mother, who since the death of
Capt. Whitaker in October last, has made
her home with her daughter in Hopkin-
ton. She is survived also by sister
Mrs. Fred Siss, Of Midland, Mich, and
two brothers-John B., an6 Edgar +.
Whitaker, both of Boston.
The remains will be brought here for
interment, arriving this evening. Ar
rangements for the funeral have not yet
been announced.

Market for Potatoes

The lack OF cash market in this
vicinity for potatoes need no longel
deter farmers from going into the
business of raising. Already
Whitcomb, Haynes & Co., at Ellis
worth Falls, and ". M. Carter, at
Ellsworth, have announced that they
will take all of this years crop which
is offered, and pay in cash the market
price.
1t has been said that one reason
why farmers in this vicinity have not
gone into raising on larger
scale before has been that there
was no market for them. This OBJ
lection seems now to be eliminated.
THE AMERICAN would like to hear
from every planter in Hancock
county who intends this year either
to raise potatoes for the market for
the first time, or who intends to in
crease his acreage.
Already we know of one farmer who
is going to increase his acreage from
three fourths of an acre last year to
ten acres this year. That farmers
institute seems to be producing re-
suits already.

The creation of tariff bureau, pre-
sumably as part OF the treasury de-
partment, is already a part of the
Aidrich scheme for the administrative
portion of the tariff bill, and it is,
therefore, reasonable to suppose that
the amendment offered in the Senate
by Senator Beverage to create a
tariff commission of seven members,
etc., will be adopted, in so far as it is
in accordance with the views of the
chairman of the finance committee.
The disposition of this committee is
to make such bureau purely clerical,
without authority to take any steps
which would promote tariff changes
or that could be used as a basis for
unfavorable criticism OF the action of
Congress. Mr.. Beveridge's amend
ment provides that the commissi IN
shall procure all available information
regarding foreign custom tariffs, and
prepare such data in suitable form for
the guidance of the President in the
administration OF the maximum and
minimum features of the new tariff
act, and this is said to be in accord
ance with the views of the President.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 81, 1909


The present term of court furnishes
an object lesson for violators of the
liquor law i'll Hancock county, which
they will do we'll to heed. II admits
of no uncertainty as 10 where County
Attorney Wiley G. CoRary siandsson
the enforcement question. De has
steadfastly refused to accept any fines
for liquor offences, and having estab-
lished this precedent, there is every
indication that he intends to stand by
it. With Sheriff Silsby and his eff =
-cient corps OF deputies active in round
ing up offenders, and County -Attor-
ney Conary insisting on Jail sentences,
the path OF the liquor law violators in
Hancock county y stony indeed.
On every side. among the lawyers
and those fxusaaiar with. court pro-
cedure, words Of praise are heard for
the manner in which County Attor-
ney Conary has taken up the work Of
his office, aad the able manner in
which he has handled it. Judge Cor.
nish took occasion at the cleaning VI
Of the criminal docket this morning
to pay graceful and deserved com
pliment to the county attorney, com
mending him for the way in which he
had handled the criminal docket
which he said, the county attorney
had conducted in a very clean way,
and enforced the law.
Justice Cornish is also deserving oil
great commentator. He has demon
/ strated very clearly that 30 far as one
justice of the supreme court, at least,
is concerned, that there is no crying
need for the late lamented Hastings
bill, which Gov. Fernald vetoed.
