Mr.. McCrea of this district has intro
duced bill by which counties having
sinking fund moneys to invest may be
allowed to receive more than two per
cent interest bringing it to maximum
of five per cent. In the case of drains
and some other funds this would be a
beneficial Law. We think that there
should be similar law for cities and
other civic corporations.

Referring to the lying statement of
Packard, it's regular correspondent, that
the state paid for the publication of in
surance statements, the Chronotype says
that Packard sis rather too intrepid in
his efforts to make his stories complete
and we'll ounded''-which certainly is a
nice way of putting it.

We note that many papers comment
favorably on the fact that Co. Judge
Wick furnishes the local press with a

in the state of Maine as paid legal mat
ter each month.

There's difference between argument

President Ellis stated he had encountered
no opposition to the object of the congress
that of reopening the Missouri river to
navigation, on the part OF the railroads,
and on the contrary a number OF leading
railroad men, J. J. Hill and others, were
openly espousing the cause. which they
believe will largely mean the river develop
ing it's own traffic and by development
aiding the railroads to increased business
eventually.
The congress appears to favor Omaha
as the place Of next meeting, most OF the
delegations having expressed themselves
Informally in favor OF the Gate City for
the gathering OF the third annual congress.
President Ellis IL slated for reelection

Let us appeal to the great ones Of the
earth, one Of the greatest and most re-
spected Of whom we rave here, in the per-
son Of President Taft, to use all their in
fluence for the promotion of peace and
goodwill among the nations. Let our gem
GRAFTON provide no more battlefields to be
commemorated. Let it rather be remem-
bered as the generation which did away
with this method Of settling differences"
General Lemieux made many
happy references to the president. He de-
clared he felt very much at home, for he
recognized in Mr.. Taft a neighbor from
Murray Bay, in the province of Quebec.
Amid great applause he declared that II,
after eight, or possibly twelve, years in
the White House, the president had been
worn thin and fran, all that was necessary
was to send him back to Murray Bay and
he would be returned after a few months
as stout, as hearty and as hardy a speci-
men of humanity as he appears before us

President Taft Speaks.
President Taft said:
Il. wish to congratulate you on having
listened to such a great address which SEN
ator Root has given us here in his discrim-
mating historic sense and with the elo-
quence of words that 1 am sure we will be
glad to read over and over again.
Il know that we were indebted so much
to the Iroquois for the result that we are
here and that we are speaking English in
stead Of French. He has traced with the
master hand OF the man who knows peo-
pies and constitutional law, the develop
ment Of that strength that came from Jop-
ular force in the colonies and that lined the
Atlantic, and that backed Wolfe in the
fight which he had with Montcalm on the
Plains of Abraham"
At the banquet tonight, President Taft.
speaking to the toast, 1.-The United States,
declared that the United States constituted

For" he continued, I'VE have had the
longest experience in self-government."
The president expressed the, thanks of the
American people to Canada for having sent
it's troops to take part lin the Champlain
celebration and pointed out the spirit OF
amity which made. possible the spectacle
today of the troops OF two great nations
