So great had been the depredations of the

particularly but for the losses the COM
merce of England had sustained. One
of the cheapest and easiest ways of abat-
ing the nuisance was believed to be to fit
out vessels to prey upon the pirates, seize
their plumber and bring them to justice.
This was considered not only a good, but
profita BILE method of combating the evil,
and so. in January, 1895. a syndicate was
formed in the city of London to fit out
vessel to rob the robbers The members
of this syndicate were the king, the lord
chancellor. the Duke of Shrewsbury, the
Earl of Belonlont, Robert Livingston,
William Kidd and various other gentle
men. 1t was Livingston who suggested
Capt Kidd. He vouched for him not
only as man of integrity but as a brave
man, too He offered to furnish bond for
kidd's portion of the contribution to the
syndicate fund and he told of the glori-
Gus work Kidd had done for England in
two sea fights with the French. In one
of these his arrival saved a British ship
from capture by six French vessels that
were closing in on the lone Englishman.
His conduct in this engagement had won
for him the highest praise. No one could
have behaved more bravely.

The good captain had two commissions
from his gracious majesty the king. One
was to seize pirates. The second was to
"apprehend, seize and take ships, vessels
and goods belonging to the French king
and his subjects. and such other ships,
vessels and goods as are or shall be liable
to confiscation." This gave great latitude
to Capt Kidd, but there was a clause

Maine Shipping Again.

1.-THE Jovelike Hale in 30 years bent
all his energies to hurting the ship
building industry" "sternly' remarks
the newly converted Democratic Dam
ariscotta Herald anent a recent Jour-
nal editorial on shipbuilding.
The Herald man should converse
with President John S. Hyde of the
Bath Iron Works and learn a few
things about Senator Hale and his
steadfast assistance to Names ship
building interests.
For go years" Senator Frye has led
the fight in Congress against British
and other foreign lobbies in behalf of
American ships. He has been backed
by Hale, Boutelle and Burleigh and
other representatives of Maine all these
years. The Maine delegations have
achieved some hetterments but it has
been a long battle and to a certain ex-
tent a campaign against foreign cor
rupticn and domestic apathy and igno-
rance At the present time the entire
nation is becoming Interested, Repub-
licans had a ship plank in their plat
form, President Taft favors, talks and
works in aid of our merchant marine.
Better times are in prospect, if Repub-
licans are kept in power.
But Democrats are against giving
aid to our ship yards. They favor free
ships and Hon. d. j. McCiillicuddy
would have to vote and work with his
party in spite of his ownership of
pieces in schooners.
The trouble is not with Mr.. McGilli-
cuddy but with the Democratic party
which would complete the annihilation
OF Names shipbuiding interests if
given a chance to put in force it's free
ship theories.
The Herald ought to know these
facts.
Some Of the compulsory pilot laws in
the South, the Herald is informed have
Leen repealed Others still exist but it
is amusing to think how the Democrats
north would light against the southern
Democrats in doing away with that
close corporation of southern pilots
that still regard shipping especially
northern coasters. as their prey!

Illinois is the third state In the
Union in population, but in the field OF
politics it is contemplate and worse.
1t has but one political figure that
commands the honor and respect felt
for its old leaders, Senator Cullom,
and he is now so advanced in years
that it would be idle to think of him
as the champion of new era.
We want young men such as the
machines repel. We want young men
trained in a popular school of politics
where there can be no doubt that the
people are having a chance. We want
young men who will draw their in
spiration from the states noblest, who
will study the political genius of a
Lincoln with unremitting zeal and de-
vOtion.
And even now the, state is ready for
its leader who shall summon the
young men to his standard and pre-
pare the way for a great change. The
right man with the right battle cry
could soon bring boss rule to confu-
sion. peopleize our politics. give to the
public service new blood and new life.

(Continued from Monday.)

Under the last Democratic Governor
of Maine in 1882. the town of Benton in
Kennebec county paid a State tax OF
81 ,697 49, the rate then being Az mills.
Benton received back from the State
in 1882 for the support of it's common
schools $541.9S.
Note the difference under the last
Republican administration.
Under Governor Fernald in 1909, with
a rate of mills, Benton paid a State
tax of $1,619.S1 and received back ST.

Benton has no desire to go back to

Tho Gravity of Cores CHARGES.

The gravity of Senator Cores charg-
es startled the country and. coming
from the blind scholar for whom the
people have felt more than passing
sympathy, it was disappointing and
disconcerting. One gentleman said: II
am sorry for Gore. and cannot under
stand it, l have been strong admirer
of his; he must have been misled; /
hope it will be explained" This gen
tleman's concern was echoed every
where. On Saturday Senator Gore is
sued statement which in a way clears
the atmosphere but it has not removed
the shadow between him and many
former friends. He said relative to Vice
President Sherman:
Il have never. either in the Senate or
before the investigating committee,
made any charge whatever against Mr..
Sherman. | never said he was inter
ested in the McMurray contracts. di-
rectly or indirectly. The Vice-Presi-
dents name was mentioned to me by
Hamon as man higher up who was
interested in the contracts. When I
testified before the committee l was
under obligation to relate all that Ha-
mon had said and when it came to
mentioning what Hamon has said to
me about Mr.. Sherman, l named the

tance. l had no alternative but to tell
the truth | think | owe it to Mr.
Sherman and to the country to hope
that the fact that Hamon mentioned
Mr. Sherman will be relegated to per
petual oblivion
Thus it seems a wholly unwarranted
impression against honorable men has
been sent broadcast. Mr.. Gore testified
that Jacob l.. Hamon of whose depen--
da ability he speaks somewhat sighting
ly. came to his office and offered him
bribe of $4,000 or 200 to withdraw
or otherwise defeat Mr.. Cores own bill

approval of Congress. Finally. Repre-
sentative Creager. also of Oklahoma.
testifies that Hamon offered him "a
substantial interest" in the McMurray
contracts if he would withdraw his op-
position to legislation which would ia
cilitate them.

any way interested in the McMurray

they were. he testified that he believed
him truthful in most cases. but he

A little toiling. day by day:
A little pain, little strife.
A little joy-and that is life.
A little short-lived summers morn,
When joy seems all so newly born.
When one days sky is blue above,
And one bird sings-and that is love.
A little sickening of the years,
The tribute of a few hot tears.
Two folded hands. the falling breath,
And peace at last-and that is death.

The editor of the Sun is as ungen-
erOus and misleading in this matter
of Maine farmers as he was the other
day concerning the working of the
new tariff law. About that he must
have known, if he had looked at the
reports that come to every newspa-
per office, that the increase in revenue
during the first year of the tariff law
now in operation was over $50 OOO. 900
exclusive of the corporation taxi and
that by far the larger part was due
to the revenue duty on imports. He
must know. also. that a deficit of $751;
100000 had been changed into a surplus
of $15,000,000, and that during the time
the total of the corporation tax col
lected was barely more than $40, ,OOO, 900.
The editor of the Sun knows well
that the duty was increased on many
luxurles. particularly on wines and
liquors, and they were fastened to this
country in enormous quantities in an
ticipation of the new tariff. If he is
not aware of it he did not read the
news dispatches in his own paper last
year and. if we remember rightly,
some of his own editorial comment.

whenever she leaves the nest to go out
