TO Reforest Maine.
(Suburban Life.)

A plan for the reforestation of the
State of Maine has been submitted TO
the governor by s. c. Jordan of AL
fred Mr.. Jordan offers to give the
State $1,000 on condition that once fr
eighteen years five prizes shall Dc
awarded for the five best lots of young
forest growth. These lots are to con-
sist Of not less than ten acres, accur-
ately surveyed and plotted, the ma
jority of the trees to be not less than
ten or more than thirty years old when
the prizes are awarded The varieties
of trees to be grown are specified and
cover a long list from white pine to
elm Mr. Jordan believes that the IN
centive afforded by such prizes would
do much to bring about better forestry
conditions Maine has many thousand
acres of waste land, now almost worth
less but naturally well adapted to tim
Der growth, and which by small ex-
pense for care and forest cultivation
could be made easily worth in fifty
years 500 an acre. In this way the
State instead of being of the poorest
in the Union might be made one OF the
richest. Fifty years is large part of
one persons life, but a very small part
of the life of a State. Mr.. Jordan
himself set out from ten to fifteen
thousand trees the last summer and
states that he hopes to set out many
thousands every year as long as he
lives.

The Earlier Presidents.

| No, this does not refer to Washing.
to those who preceded him in admin
istering the affairs of this country. OF
course Washington was the first chief
magistrate elected by popular vote
the first president of the union OF
states under the constitution, but
there was union in the colonies for
a long period of years before Wash
ington was inaugurated, and writer
in one of the current magazines gives
us an interesting series of portraits
of the men who were presidents of the
Continental Congress from it's first
organization in 1874 until Washington
was inaugurated in 1889.
There were IA of these men and al
several Of the most famous personages
of our Revolutionary era, their lives
and works have been given less atten-
ton than they deserve by writer's of
American history. While they were
not presidents of the United States
they were at least presidents of the
United Colonies and were the men of
highest authority in this country dur
ing that period of Is years when
America was throwing off the yoke of
Great britain and establishing itself
as an independent power in the sister
hood of nations Here is the list, and
its names should not be allowed to
pass into oblivion: Payton Ran
dolph. Virginia.; Henry Middleton,
South Carolina; John Hancock, Mas
sachusetts; Henry Laurens, South
Carolina; John Jay, New York; Samuel
Huntington, Connecticut; Thomas
Mexican, Pennsylvania; John Hanson,
Maryland; Elias Roudinot, New Jer-
sey; Thomas Mifin, Pennsylvania;
Richard Henry Lee, Virginia.; Nathan
iel Gorham, Massachusetts; Arthur
st. Clair, Pennsylvania; and Cyrus
Griffin, Virginia.
Not only were these men leaders of
greatest authority and influence dur
ing the Revolutionary struggle and the
years Immediately following, but many
of them also occupied high stations af-
ter the Union had been formed and
tie present constitution adopted.
John Hancock, for instance, was for
many years governor of Massachu-
sets; Henry Laurens was with
Franklin and Jay on the commission
which arranged the treaty of peace
with England; John Jay was later the
first chief justice of the United States;
Samuel Huntington became chief JUS
tice of Connecticut and for 10 years its
governor; Thomas Mihin became a
major general in the army and was
for many years governor of PennSyl-
vania; Richard Henry Lee was one of
the first United States Senators from
Virginia; Arthur St. Clair was a ma
jor general in the patriot cause and
from 1889 until 1902 was governor of
the Northwest territory; Cyrus Griffin,
the last of the list, became a United
States district judge.

There Were No towards.
(Springfeld Republican.)


No part of the thrilling story of the
the soul to admiration and gratitude
as that which deals with the conduct
OF the officers and crew of the strick-
Ell Republic, and as well of the Ital-
ian steamer Florida. 1t is well indeed
that the praises of the wireless opera
tor, John r. Binns. should be sounded
in the American House of Represen-
tatives. and also to be mentioned is the
admirable conduct of the Republics
passengers whose courage and forti-
tude under the most trying conditions
find recognition in all the reports.
But above all stands the English Capt.
Sealby upon whose GOODNESS and
bravery and capacity to command
everything else depended--the loyalty
and discipline of his gallant crew, as
well as the orderly and courageous
conduct of the passengers. Had he
quailed at any point, quite another
story would have been brought to
shore yesterday-a story no doubt of
disorder and panic, and that heartless
rush Of each to save himself which
so often in such emergencies has made
men sick with shame for their race.
But he never quailed and never for a
moment lost his hold upon the situa-
ton, and no crew of a warship ever
left their vessel on drill in better or
der than the hundreds of passengers
left the sinking Republic. women and
children in the lead. That Capt. Seal
by himself should have stood by his
ship until it sunk and nearly dragged
him down with it was to have been eX-
pected of such an officer as he had
shown himself to be-not a coward
appearing anywhere within range OF
his command. And next to him stands
the italian Capt. Noltolin of the Flori-
| da, who brought his own badly-woun-
| deG vessel up to the rescue and who
| inspired his crew to a gallant zeal in
| the work of transferring passengers
equal to that shown by the English
| sailors of the Republic.
Here we have a touch of the noblesl
| in human nature which not only
makes the world kin, but the race Of
man little more justly proud Of it,

Spanish Influence in Cuba.

The Washington Post is of the opin-
ION that the Americanization of Cuba
is not going on so fast as some opti-
mistic writer's would have us believe.
On the contrary it finds evidence of {.
Spanish reconquest of the Pearl of the
Antilles 1t does not question the Am
ericanization of the island as far as
the sanitation OF the cities is concerned
the Improvement of the school system,
etc, but reference is made to the gen
eral spirit of the people and especially
10 the CONNIE rcial and industrial activ-
tiles.
When the yellow flag of Spain was
hauled down in Cuba, it was hailed as
the significant loosening of the last grip
of Spain upon the New World. Opti-
mistic prophets on all sides choruscd the
idea that if not indeed politically then at
least economically and industrfally Gu
ba would become a part of the United
States. Gratitude if nothing less was
depended upon to work the change in
favor of those whose warships had set
the island free from the long and cor
rupt dominance of old Spain. The Post
declares that few if any of these pro-
phccies have been realized and says
that recent advices from the island

Not only is the island not becoming
Americanized, but the Post declare:
that the Spaniard has greater CONNER
cial influence in Cuba today than eve
before. For every American on TIN

The celebration of the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth Of Edgar Allen
Poe, recalls the fact that one Of Poe's
intimate friends, at the time he was
doing his most famous literary work,
was a native of Maine, DR.. George w.

a part of Berlin, in 1919, the 21st day of
February, and died last September in

man was writer of some note, him.

ners and other leading publications of
the time. When Poe was writing his
famous poem, The Raven" he
several times asked his friends opin-
that footballs could by no possibility
"tinkle on the tafter floor To this
Poe replied that in that line he wished
to convey an impression of the super
natural, and he let the line remain as
it was. Poe and Eveleth were frequent
correspondents for number of years,
and at the time the Mrs Helen Whit
man affair was being discussed by the
public, Poe wrote to his friend what he
termed true account Of the matter
in several letters and these letters are
still in existence. One of Poe's strong
est literary notions as indicated in his
letters to Eveleth, was that a poem, as
we'll as a prose story, should contain
strong element of mystery, and it is
undoubtedly this characteristic of his
writings that has made them so pop
ular, though this characteristic has led
to some pointed criticisms by over
sensitive readers of Poe's works. Mr..
Eveleth still has sister living in
