Curious Questioning.

Chagrin is being expressed on all
sides because all of the truth could
not have been brought out when
former State Treasurer Pascal P. Gill
more was on the stand. MIR. Gilmore
did not volunteer any Information of
any kind, and Rep. Pattangal's ques-
tions were 30 adroitly framed that
the only intelligent answers we're
favorable to his political thunder
policy.
Much Of this, il not all of it, would
have been neutralized or disproven
entirely by CT oss examination which
would have brought out all OF the
facts.

SToNINGToN, Feb ID Especially Stephen
B. Thurlow, one OF the most prominent
citizens OF this place, and we'll known
throughout the county, died suddenly
Friday, of heart failure.
Mr.. Thurlow was post master at the time
OF his death. He had held the offices of
selectman, deputy sheriff and representa-
tive to the legislature. He was sixty eight
years of age. He leaves wife and three
grandchildren.
The funeral services were held at the
Methodist church Sunday afternoon, with
the honors OF the blue lodge, Royal Arch,
council, and Eastern Star. The floral
offerings were many and beautiful.

Oslerizing the Courts.
Portland Press.)

Leader Pattangall has conceived a
new plan. 1t Is shrewd, and adroit
and worthy of its author. 1t is
simply to compel the retirement of
thfee justices of the State supreme
bench before the expiration of their
terms, in order that their places may
be filed by appointees OF the demo-
cratic governor. OF course no such
purpose is avowed and no such would
be admitted by the author, but it
sticks out as plainly as the dome of
abe statehouse.
Mr.. Plaisted in his letter of accept
ance said that "party politics
should be kept entirely and alb
solutely out of the courts', and
that il he was elected governor,
mo Judge now serving will fail of re-
appointment because his politics diff
fers from mine, and in appointing
judges or other officers of any and all
courts, ability ard fitness will be the
only thing considered"
II was the right stand to take, but il
does not square with the Pattangal
amendment. Why should these
judgee, or any judges, being in the
5enith Of their powers, fully 6t and
able to give the State continuing
good service, be forced out of Office
before the expiration Of their terms
and superannuated by compulsion al
. fixed age?
Is there any reason except that
their places are wanted for political
purposes? II is an unprecedented
proposition and too barefaced, but
the democrats have the votes and the
power to drive it through the legisla
turo,

Forcing the Justices Out.
(Kennebec Journal.>


The proposed amendment ito the
law relating to the retirement of
supreme court justices would force a
Justice to retire within ninety days
after reaching the age limit, or
"waive his rights to the compensa-
ton hereinbefore mentioned. Pat
taHgall would oslerizs supreme court
justices at seventy, or inhict a
penalty il they failed to appreciate
elimination from public usefulness.
The amendment is cunningly calcu-
lated to force out me mbers of the
court whose terms do not expire dur
ing the probable life of the democratic
regime.
Those who know these able jurists
lChief- Justice Emery and Associate.
Justices Whitehouse and Peabody
personally realize that the retirement
age finds them still at the height of
their mental powers. Time has but
added to their breadth of view; has
adjusted the balance of justice more
accurately. Such men are disposed to
feel that their usefulness to the State
and nation is not thing of the past,
and it 10 with reluctance that they
turn their backs up IN the activities of
life. That they should be driven to
do 90 for the purposes of petty poll
tics, seems like playing the game for
all there is in it.
