WHITE VS.. DARK RACES

This world gets full of wild
alarms. About every so often some
fellow has a dream The Colorado
Statesman never supposed a sane
white man had mental fits. Years
kago, over in sunny Kansas, dis
Stinguished Negro dreamed OF the
time when all the dark races would
unite and the "slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune" cursing the
Negro would be dissipated in South
American emigration. Now comes
the usually hard headed, sensible
editor of the Denver Times dream
ing in his editorial chair, seeing
the dismal ending of the white race
= in a possible war of determination
waged by the united dark races.
He sees in the recent Russo-Jap-
anese scrap the beginning OF dark
confederacy. While such a thing
is possible, it is not Immediately
probable. That the Mongolian and
Malay races of Asia will oppose
the present dominancy of the white
man in the far East no one will
question. Each days development
shows that England's days in Hin
dustan are nearing an end and the
influence of the powers in China
is waning. But the Negro, who is
marked as one of the strong ele-
ments in the coming struggle, is
learning the ways of civilization IN
America. He is becoming more
and more each year a true Amer
lean citizen, loving his country and
always ready to defend it. The
probable early decay of the white
man will be due to the ravages of
immortality, such as has ruined the
manhood of France. The Negro
is not bothered by the lurid dream
and alarms of decays. He is labor
ing each day that tomorrow may
bring forth more and better fruit.

standing interests of the Eastmans
and Colbys. either for themselves or
| for the common benefit of themselves
| ana the Hills, for the case finds that
'Phllbrick and Butler made the pur-
| chases on their own account and not
on account of the Coburn heirs, and
that they paid for them out of their
own funds" 1t cannot be doubted,
however. that the Coburns had full
opportunity to acquire these adverse
titles before they were purchased by
their agents.
There is no evidence that Philbrick
or Butler made any false representa-
lions to their principals, the Coburn
heirs, or fraudulently concealed from
them any material facts, in relation
to these titles. Their conduct met the
full appreciation of their PRINCIPALS.
Nor is there any evidence or sug-
eestiOn that there was any collision
between the Coburn heirs and their
agents whereby the former were to
derive any secret benefit from the
transaction. They employed an agent
not for the purpose of making new in
Vestments in timber lands, but solely
to manage and protect the property
which they had.
1t Is familiar law that an agent or
attorney cannot without the consent
OF the principal or client, purchase
and hold for himself an outstanding
claim adverse. to the employers es-
tate. but will be deemed to hold it
for his employer, if the employer shall!
so elect. 1t has been seen that the
jnStlNa l..
relation of Philbrick and Butler as
agent and attorney, made it their duty
to disclose to the Coburn heirs any
information they had respecting the
defects which existed in the Coburn
title, and that this was in fact done
to the satisfaction of the heirs. But
the relation between principal and agent
and client and attorney rests upon es-
Sentially the same basis of trust and
confidence as the relation between ten
ants in common. 1t has been seen.
however, that the Coburn heirs were
not trustees for the Hills as to the tax
titles at the time of the purchase of
the Eastman and Colby interests, and
Philbrick and Butler were agent and
attorney for the Coburn heirs and not
for the Hills who We're adverse claim
ants at the time of the first purchase
and adversaries in litigation at the
time Of the second. The Coburns and
Hills were equitable co-tenants only as
to the 4400 acres, and as to that acre
age the interests of the Eastmans and
ColbyS We're not outstanding titles
The fiduciary relation which Philbrick
and Butler sustained to the Coburn
heirs did not extend to the Hills With
the consent of the Coburn heirs Phil
brick and Butler purchased the East
man and Colby titles for their own
benefit as any stranger might lawfully
have done. In SO doing they cannot be
held chargabe with any violation of
trust or infraction of legal duty.
With respect both to the original bill

Secured at Monmouth.
Delegates 10 Charities and

Bridgton & Saco River Railroad
Co. Presents Petition.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Tuesday, June IS, at $50 A. M.

While in accordance with the provis-
ions of the referendum no appropria-
ton for the purpose of a State farm on
which to conduct scientific investlga-
lions in orcharding will he available,
If is understood that a desirable farm
has been selected by the committee III
whose hands the matter was placed
and the purchase completed so far as
it can be until the money has been paid
over by the State.
The purchase was made under the
provisions of Chapter Is, of the Pub
lie Laws of 1909, Section l of which
reads as follows: 1.-THE Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, in ad-
dition to the Investigations now con-
Quoted by it, shall conduct scientific
Investigations in orcharding, corn and
other farm crops, and, to this end, there
shall be purchased, in the name of the
state, stocked and equipped for the use
and benefit of said station, "a suitable
farm situated as the committee on Sc
lection and purchase hereinafter named
shall determine, in any counties of the
State of Maine"
The committee appointed under
Section . of the act consists of Au-
gustus W. Gilman of Foxcroft, Charles
s Pope Of Manchester. Eugene II. Lib
by OF Auburn, Rutilius Alden OF Win
throp and Charles ID. Woods of Orono,
and after thorough examination of a
number of pieces of farming property
Selected the wcll-knOwn HighmOor
Farm at Leeds Junction, which is
without doubt one of the finest farms
in this section of the State.
This farm was formerly the property
of Chancellor j. r. Day of Syracuse,
n Y. who erected the fine and commo-
dous set of buildings which is located
upon it. The estate is now the prop
erty of F. n. Mundy of New Jersey.

REscRlPT.
Case Of Pauline p. Hill VS.. Louise n.
Coburn of Skowhegan.

Pauline P. HILL ct ais. VS.. Louise II.
Coburn, ct ais. Rescript by White
house, J.
rhe plaintiffs in this case are the
heirs or the assignees of the heirs Of
f. B. Hill of Skowhegan, who died in
1898. The defendants are the heirs
of Philander Coburn late of Skowhe-
gan and the iegatees and devisees of
Abner Coburn of Skowhegan who died
in 1855 or the assignees of such heirs
and devisees. They are known as the
Coburn heirs.
In this bill the plaintiffs seek to
establish and enforce trust in GER
tain lands in the north half and in all
of the south half of 4. r. 8, growing out
of certain agreements alleged to have
been made between Hill and the Co
burns on September 1, 1867.
In 1887 one Colby conveyed to Will
liam X. Eastman one undivided fourth
part of the tract purchased by him of
Barring ct ais. in township No. 4, r. 3,
known by the name of Bigelow town
ship This quarter interest conveyed
to Eastman amounted to 1915 acres.
In 1867 the original Colby tract COM
prising 10000 acres was owned as fol-
lows: $500 acres in common and I'M
divided by the Coburus; one-fourth of
the Colby tract or 2575 acres in COM
mon and undivided by the heirs or as
signs of Eastman and the remainder
1925 acres in common and undivided by
the heirs or assigns Of Colby.
1t is not in controversy therefore that
the Coburns owned $500 acres undi-
vided in the two tracts and that OF
this 400 acres are now held by the
original defendants. The Coburns also
held tax deeds which covered the whole
tracts including the AGO acres. BY VIZ
tue of these tax deeds they claimed
title to the whole of the two tracts
and for many years their claim was
uncontroverted.
In the same year E. 3. Hill paid to
the Cobums the sum of $500 for an I'M
divided equal interest with themselves
in the south half of the township anu
the ''mountain strip in the north nan.
and upon consideration of all the evil
dence it is the opinion of the court
that it was their intention that Hill
should become an equal owner with
them in the entire Colby tract includ-
ing the $500 acres. 1t follows that the
defendants now hold in trust for the
plaintiffs the equitable title thus
created for E. B. Hill.
With respect to the extent of the
equitable title thus created in favor
of Hill, it appears that the tax titles
held by the Coburns covering the ter
ritory in question had no validity and
that the Coburns had no valid title
to any part thereof except the $500
acres. The single justice found as q
