It is said that the real question which
Ia of most absorbing interest in Washing
ton is not any matter of legislation, but
the coming decisions of the Supreme
Court in the cases of the tobacco trust
and the Standard Oil trust. 1t is point
cd out that II those decisions are against
the trusts under the Sherman law, there
will be tremendous possible couse-
ouences, financial, industrial and politi-
cal. "Bl. siness" in its various ramifica-
lions will be threatened, and nobody
knows what will happen. 1t is at least
refreshing TO have it admitted that any
consequences may come to the trusts
from a court decision. So far the trusts
have gone on in their career without APP
prehensiou, and any order or decision OF
court. whatever it might be, has had no
real effect, as the consequences were
evaded by some new scheme to which
the ablest lawyers of the country devOt-
ed their ingenuity. Now it seems that
there is a possibility of the trusts being
reached By the courts, after all. And II
the courts should decide that the trusts
own the earth and most of the fulness
thereof, why, we shall have to submit to
their ownership, and the trust problem
will be removed from our consideration.
On the other hand, IL the trusts should
be "busted," business will be killed for
a time, and we shall have few years OF
hard times. So in either case, the peo-
pie are likely to "get it in the neck" In
the end.

Clinton F. Forbes passed away at bis
home on Tuesday morning, Feb. 1, after
an illness beginning last summer, at the
age of twenty. five. Mr.. Forbes was the
son of Il. B. and Addie Abbott Forbes,
and is survived by his parents and two
sisters, Mrs. Matte Holmes and Miss
Ida Forbes. He was graduate of the
University of Maine in the class of 1905,
and was member of the Sigma Chi fra
ternity, who sent beautiful floral piece,
and were represented by Mr.. Rodgers at
the funeral service held Thursday.
After graduation Mr.. Forbes went to
Pennsylvania, where he was employed
by the Westinghouse Electrical Com.
pauy for a year and half. Afterward
he taught In Orono, and was called home
By the death of his brother over a year
ago, to take charge of the home farm.
He was a young man OF sunny, genial
disposition, which made him a favorite
among hosts of friends. The funeral
was conducted by Rev. Eleanor Forbes
from his late home. Many beautiful
flowers sent by friends attested his popu-
larity.

1t would be nothing new to speak of
the recent cold wave, since that must be
obvious to every one who had occasion
to get out into the open, but a remark
lady made after it passed is worth re-
peating, which was that at is gone for
ever and we are so much nearer spring."
And it is now less than three weeks to
the month that beareth that gentle
name, and already they begin to talk
about town meeting. But there is an-
other sign of spring apart from the ap-
pearance of crows, robins and other
birds, and that is the potatoes have COM
menced to sprout as if they were endow-
ed with intelligence and been keeping
the record in view of planting time.

was seldom used in the country, except
by the most wealthy families.
1t was one of Josh Billings quaint
sayings that "there is as much difference
in folks as there is in anybody" That
is all true and sometimes there seems to
you ever read bosk entitled, "What the
World Believes? Saint Paul was correct
when he declared "There be gods many
and lords many" since there is hardly
an object in the heavens or on earth but
is or has been worshipped as god by
mankind And many quarrels to the
death have occurred on account of the
difference in worship. The following
four line jingle seems to comprehend it
all in nut she'll, which says:
"Many men of many minds,
Many birds Of many kinds;
Many fishes In the sea,
And never do they all agree"
That Bible question, given few weeks
ago, seems to have escaped Johns notice,
since he asks what about 1t. The ques-
ton Is on the 22d verse of the Sd chapter
of Genesis, aud wishes to know whether
it is correct or false syntax, as we have it
there, and it is just the same in the re-
vised version. Possibly it may prove to
be more of a problem than it appeared
by superficial reading. We shall see in
due time.
