the regulars. He co-operatsd in every
particular with Speaker Cannon, and wss
one Of the most consistent Of Cannonites.
II any Of the Maine members Of the
House cared for particular light on the
subject, apart from their personal convic-
tions as to the merits Of that controversy
between the speaker and the insurgents,
they regarded the action Of Representative
Longworth rs showing pretty clearly
where ex-President Roosevelt would have
stood had he been q member OF the House.
Representative Longworth has not per-
mitted himself to be quoted, but he has
said many times in private conversation
that he has had several letters from his
fatber-in-law, in which the ex-President
has made it plain that he proposes to back
the Taft administration to the limit. He
believes in Mr.. Taft, just as he believed in
him when trying to make him his sue
cessor in the White House.
Another good pointer in the same direc-
ton is the attitude OF William Loeb, jr.,
formerly secretary to President Roosevelt.
He comes frequently to Washington these
days and is talking exactly as does Repre-
sentative Longworth.

OBITUARY.


MRS. HENRY IL. MUM.
Sarah, wife Of Henry L. Moor, died at
her home on Fourth street last Friday,
March Is. Mrs. Moor was born in Perry
Oct. IS, 1916, though nearly all her life was
passed in Ellsworth, her parents, Thomas
and Jane Brown, coming here when she
was two years Of age.
Besides her husband she leaves five sons
and one daughter-Charles w., OF Lynn,
Mass; Harry F., of Southwest Harbor;
Sarah Alice, wife Of e. e. Parker, OF
lewiston; Fred l., Of Lynn, Mass, Everard
L. and Leon R., Of this city. She also
leaves two brothers-Charlesa and Thomas
E. Brown, and sister-Mrs. Eta Fernald,
all OF this city.
Mrs. Moor was a woman OF sterling
worth. As q devoted wife and mother, rs
sympathetic and helpful neighbor
and as an affectionate and loyal friend,
her life was marked by kindness, patience,
love and forbearance. Though OF q quiet
and retiring disposition, her sweetness
and gentleness Of character, her personal
charm and attractiveness and, withal, her
sweet humility endeared her to hosts OF
friends.
In all her acts spirit OF thoughtfulness,
cheerfulness and unselfshness was mani
tested which was source OF joy and COM
fort to all around her.
None know her but to love her.
Nor named her but to praise.
Though bound to her earthly life by the
strongest family ties, yet with an unfalter-
ing faith she was ready when the sum-
mons came.
All that loving care and thought could
suggest was done to hold her here, but
while the sunsetgIow faded in the west
and the shadow Of evening began to fall,
her gentle spirit went to dwell in the
light of eternal day.
Mrs. Moor was q woman OF deeply
reverent and religious nature. For many
years she had attended the Unitarian
church OF which she was . member. She
was q member OF Irene chapter, o. K. g.,
where for several years she served as
chaplain.
The funeral was held at the home yester-
day afternoon at 2, Rev. 8. w. Sutton
officiating. The floral tributes were many
and beautiful.

charge OF the measure in the Senate,
and we believe that all will agree that
Maine owes a large share of her
present prosperity to the benefcent
influences of the Dingley tariff in
fostering our industries. And when
the recent tariff bill was under discus
sion, Senator Hale was foremost in
the fight to retain the advantages
held by Maine. And what was the
result? To-day our industries, both
manufacturing and agricultural, are
splendidly protected, our pulp, our
paper, our lime, our granite, all are
able to meet competition from abroad.
This result, SO favorable to Maine,
is but one OF many brought about by
Senator Hale, who, however, has
been useful not only to his State but
also to his party and the nation
as we'll. To-day Senator Hale is
chairman of the great and important
committee on appropriations; the
ranking member of naval affairs and
the committee on census; is on the
committee on finance and chairman
OF the new committee on public ex-
penditures. The prominence Of .
senator is generally reckoned by his
committee appointments, and the
above amply indicate the prominence
OF Senate Hale in the United States
senate.
1t is not strange that Maine repub-
Iicans are not taking kindly to a
movement designed to supplant this
eminent statesman.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1910-03-30

Quite extensive changes in the running
time and schedules of Maine Central
trains are contemplated this summer, as a
result of q meeting in Boston this week of
the passenger agents and superintendent
of the New England railroads. 1t is be-
iieved the innovations in the timetables
will be Of benefit to all places and that the
service will be appreciated by the travel
ing public, especially by the summer
tourists. A number of the considered
consider BILE extent.
One OF the most important changes con-
templated is shortening OF the running
time of the Knickerbocker Limited-the
Through train between Mt. Desert Ferry
and New York city. This plan necessi-
tates cutting out several of the stops that
have been made by this train in the past.
The afternoon express, leaving Portland
at 1850 and arriving i'll Bangor at
49, will probably be made more OF
an express the coming season, and will
run directly to Mt. Desert Ferry, arriving
Z here an hour earlier than it has in the
past The additional time made up will be
gained by running this train express from
waterville to Bangor and Bangor to Mt.
Desert Ferry.
In consequence Of the above faster train,
it is probable that No. %, which arrived
m Bangor last summer at 3.15 p. M, will
be cancelled from Bangor to Mt. Desert
Ferry, but there will be connections for
Wash ington county points with a
through parlor car service, Boston to
Calais, which will be an entirely new
feature.
