of delay, the canal itself, will be both
inefficient and dangerous.
Mr.. Taft is going down to see if he
can get clear light on the question. he
takes with him body OF engineers
who are to pass judgment upon what
has been done and upon what is in
prospect There is an opinion i'll the
profession that the engineers who are
accompanying Mr.. Taft for this consul
ta.tion are, for the most part, already
favorable to the present plan 1t is
not considered likely, in view of thei:
existing opinions, that they viii con-
denim the features which have given SO
much concern to those who have OPP
posed the project of the Gatun dam
and of the locks in flight there. But.
ce course nobody can know what MI.
Tafts advisory engineers will conclude
and report before they have one over
the round. Undoubtedly, however. if
they give the word to go ahead on tine
lines which the commission is now fol-
lowing that plan will be pushed by Mr..
Taft when he is in the White House
with vgor and enthusiasm, either IN
til disaster calls halt, as so many au-
tllorities are convinced will happen, or
until the canal is finished and opened,
whether to be good or bad.
OF the various important journeys
which Mr.. Taft has made abroad in
the service of his country, therefore,
whether to Cuba or to the Philippines,
none has been of more moment than his
voyage to the IsthmuS to determine
his administrators programme for the

Names Gift to Lincoln.

When Maine joins next month in the
great national celebration of the Gen.
tennlal Of Abraham Lincolns birth.
one feature OF the celebration should
be a tribute to the memory of that
noble son of Maine who was the gift
of this State to Lincoln. Hannibal
Hamlin, who stood by the side of Lin
coin during those four dark years of
the Civil War and who was closer to
him personally and more depended
upon officially than the world in gen.
eral mas realized when honoring the
memcry and rraising the life work of
the martyred President, was like Lin
coin born in 1909. The centennial of
his birth will fall on the 9th of next
August and it seems impossible that
Paris, his native town, or Bangor, his
home in later years, will allow the an
niversary to pass unobserved. But
whatever the program which may be
carried out in honor of Hamlin next
August, his name and his services
must not be forgotten at the time of
the Lincoln centennial exercises
throughout Maine the 18th of next
month
the loyalty of Maine in 1860 and the
following years was never in question.
It had furnished pioneers in the anti
slavery movement and it was heart
when the great crisis came. No north
ern state in proportion to its popula-
ton sent more soldiers to the front or
sent them more promptly, and there is
no part of it's history that Maine is
justified in feeling prouder Of than its
record in that war period. But moth
ing which Maine did for the Union in
those times was more appreciated by
the great Lincoln or came closer to his
personal and official life than the pre-
sence of Hannibal Hamlin by his side.
Nc Vice President ever maintained
more cordial relations with the chief
executive, and Lincoln was frank in
expressing his disappointment that the
convention of 1864 did not renominate
Hamlin The long public career Of
Hannibal Hamlin, not only as Vice
President with Lincoln but in it's other
relations, is a part of our national his
tory, and in this centennial year of his
birth Maine will honor itself in honor
ing his memory

James b. Connolly was not the only
well known writer to find material for
good copy in his personal experiences
on the sinking Republic, though he has
beaten the field in getting INTO print.
Alice Morse Earle, popular writer of
many books of the old colonial days.
had pretty strenuous experience of
her own. This is the way her sister
tells it to an interviewer. "Our life
boat was heavily loaded, and for more
than tl1ee-quarters of an hour we
pitched ana tumbled in that sea, try
ing to get to the gangway OF the Baltic.
We were only half dressed. and the
drcnching rain soaked US TO the skin.
Nearing the Baltic we found that our
life boat was much lower than the
g;,ngway, but efforts were made to get
us aboard. Two Italian seamen on the
sangway lifted my sister, Mrs. Earle,
from her seat to assist her, but she
lost her balance, and as our boat swung
away she dropped into the sea. Twice
she sank before the seaman could catch
her dress with boat hook. Then.
holding her with the hook, two seamen
reok her by the hair and under the
arms and dragged her forth in safety"

kept a strict account for the past two
years Of the different birds found in
that city and vicinity. In 1908 he found
rs different birds, n of these were found
right in Westbrock, mostly in the vicin-
ity of Hczelton's pond, the old canal
and many of then. in SaccaraDpa ccme-
terry. In 1907 he did not find as many,
but he Gid see six that he did not sec
the past year. Mr. Craig was anxious
to make the record up to hundred,
but he was taken i'll with pneumonia
which prevented his getting the extra
two which he undoubtedly would have.
Mr.. Craig has also made state record
that he was the first to see the ruby

Saving Niagara Again.

Less has been heard of late than was
the case few years ago in regard to
saving Niagara, but il seems that the
work is not yet accomplished by any
means and the fate of the falls, at least
as scenic attraction and one Of Amer
icas greatest natural assets, is now
wrapped up in a treaty between this
this country and Great Britain, which
is now under discussion in the eXecu-
tive session by the Senate. This treaty
provides for commission to regulate
certain conditions affecting power or
navigation relative to the boundary
waters of the two countries, but does
have not been made public, but 1t Is
known. respecting the Niagara River,
that it provides for the diversion of
thirty-six Thousand cubic feet of water
per second by Canada and twenty
thousand feet by the United States for
power purposes. This limitation has
been bitterly attacked by various Or
CARNATIONS throughout the country, es-
pcciaIly the National Civic Federation.
1t is alleged that the quantity of water
thus permitted for commercial use is too
large TO afford adequate protection to
the falls. and the Senate has been seri-
ously embarrassed by the protests
against the treaty which have been
prohibition of the further use of the
waters of the Niagara is the ideal de-
sired.
According to authoritative opinion in
Washington the danger to Niagara
exists really in s. failure of the Senate
TO ratify this treaty rather than in amy
provisions contained in the treaty it
self. 1t is pointed out that at heart
Canada is indifferent to the future of
Niagara Falls and that the United
States could have secured a concession
of 10000 feet a second as easily as 20
900, had the State Department pressed
fer it. The commercial question is
complicated also by the fact that Of the
three power companies operating on
the Cana1ia side, two are owned by
Americans, and about half the power
is sent across the river below the falls
for use in the United States. The larg-
er percentage of the water going over
the falls is within Canadian territory
and subject absolutely to Canadian
control While the United States reaps
most of the benefit of the tourist traii:
which is attracted by this greatest nat
ural wonder of the North American con-
tinent, Canada's distinct inclination is
to capitalize her share N the value of
Niagara by developing the water pow
er TO the utmost.
Many have criticized Secretary Root
Tor not bringing about an impossible
measure of protection to the falls, hut
Canadas rights and wishes in the mat
ter have to be consulted and those on
the inside say that our government
has performed an exceptionally abe
feat of diplomacy in securing TIC pro-
visions embodied in this treaty.

Briefest Terms as Secretary Of State.
The new Secretary of State, Robert
Bacon of New York, will hold that Of
fee for only five weeks, when he VIII
be succeeded by Senator Knox of Penn
sylvania who will be Secretary of
State under President Taft. Five
weeks, however will not be the record
for brevity in this Office. There has
been one Secretary of State who held
the Office less than one week and this
| was Eiihu Is. Washburn of Illinois, one
of the famous family of Washburn
boys who was born and raised over in
tie town of Livermore. Maine.
| He was Secretary of State in the first
cabinet of General Grant, serving from
March 4, 1869, until March II of the
| same year, when he was appointed
minister to France, where he made
himself Il world figure. He was in
Paris during. the famous siege, where
he HAD in charge the German interests
aud so acquitted himself that he won
| highest praise from the German gov
ernment Minister Washburn re-
manned at Paris until 1877 when he re-
| signed and returned to this country.
In 1880 his name was prominently
among those suggested as candidates
| for the presidency, but he absolutely
| refused to go before the convention
| Earlier in his public career Mr. Wash
burr served Is years in Congress from
! Illinois, becoming one of the leaders of
that body and being known as the
the watch dog of the treasury" 1t
| was during his career as young law
yer in Illinois that he made the ac-
uudintance of Grant, whose firm friend
he was ever after. Elihu Washburn,
by the way, received part of his early
training in the office of the kennebec
Journal, as many another man of ma
tional prominence has done before and
since his time. In 1885, when he was
boy of ~, he worked in the Journal
office for year and then entered upon
the study Of law in Hallowell. In 1910
he went to Illinois.
