Bangor people and friends outside
the city have been extremely liberal
to the Bangor public library since the
fire Of April 80. Their total gifts to
the institution number over 200
volumes and excel the number that
have been bought by the library. Up
in the court house basement there
are now 4116 volumes, which are used
by Bangoreans to.the extent OF about

TOO MUCH PHYSICAL STRAIN
Man of Forty or Forty-Five Must Be
Careful Not to Overtax His
Heart.

The physical decay of men over
forty must be more frequently men
toned lest We forget the fact that our
physique was evolved for only thirty
five or forty years of strenuous use
1t was not SO long ago that forty-f1ve
was extreme old accounting time
in the large way of evolution. Length
ening of life has been possible only
because civilization has let up the
physical strains, SO that if we con-
t1nue them we must expect to break
as of old. Athletes stop their efforts
merely because they are beaten by
younger men, but the non-athletic seem
to think that it is necessary TO keep
up excessive exercise, though the It's
sues simply cannot stand it. There
is, then, no mystery in the large num-
Der of damaged hearts now being
found, and they will continue to in
crease in number and severity until
the medical profession succeeds in i'm
pressing the lesson. Let us repeat it
over and over again until every man
of forty or forty-fve realizes that he
has lived his allotted time of physical
vigor and must ease up the strains to
retain his health There is no reason
except abuse why so many men break

The Ambidextrous Mind.

From Berlin comes the assurance
that to be ambidextrous is also to be
better balanced mentally, for whereas
right-handed people have the organ
of speech on one side of the brain,
and vice-versa, people who are ambi-
dextrous have two language centers,
one in each lobe of the brain" This
claim may or may not be based on a
physiological fact. But before we en-
dow it with any educational or sci
entific value we should like to know
how far it's proposed application to
German national schools is promoted
by genuine scientists, and how far
that proposal is only a sign that the
"Billingaulists" are again at work. If
the latter supposition is correct, it
is to be feared that cultivators of
ambidexterity as an intellectual asset
may have to look for their fruition
to other countries than Germany,
which has too often been a dumping
ground for unclaimed scientific causes

HARLAN'S OPINION
REBUKES JUSTICES
Dissenting Jurst Sees Business Peril
in Oil Decision-Will incite Lit
igation.

Washington. - "a blow at the
Integrity Of our governmental sys-
tenn that in the end will prove most
dangerous to ALL" is the general char
acterization given the asserting opin-
ion Of the supreme court in the Stand
ard Oil case by Associate Justice
John M. Harlan in his formal dissent
ing opinion, filed in the supreme court
Justice Harlan asserts that the de-
cision will cause unrest and incite
litigation rather than Dacify business
and settle litigation. On this point
he says:
THE disposition of the case under
consideration, according to the views
Of the defendants, will, it is claimed,
quiet and give rest to the business of
the country On the contrary, have
strong conviction that it will throw
the business of the country into con-
fusion and invite widely extended and
harrassing litigation, the injurious eff
fects of which will be felt for many
years to come. When congress pro-
hibited every contract, combination or
monopoly restraint of commerce it
prescribed simple, definite rule that
all could understand and could be cas-
lily applied by everyone wishing to
obey the law and not to conduct their
business in violation Of law.
But now it is to be feared we are
to have, in cases without number, the
constantly recurring inquiry-dif1cult
to solve by proofs--whether the par
ticular contract, combination or trust
involved In each case is or is not an
unreasonable or undue restraint of
trade
The supreme court has plainly con-
tradicted itself, according to the dis
senting Justice After reviewing the
popular sentiment Of the country in
1890 and the demand that the nation
be released from 1.-The slavery that
would result from aggregation of
capital in the hands Of few individu-
ais and corporations controlling for
their own profits and advantage exclu-
sively the entire business Of the
country" resulting in the passage of
the Sherman antitrust law, he de-
clares that in 1896 in the transit Mis-
souri, freight case, this court express
ly declined to indulge in judicial legis-
lation by inserting in the act the word
unreasonable or any other word Of
like import"
There are some who say that it is
a part Of ones liberty to conduct COM
MERGE among the states without being
subject to governmental authority.
But that would not be liberty, regu-
lated by law, and liberty which can
not be regulated by law is not to be
desired. The supreme law of the land,
which is binding alike upon all-upon
presidents, congress, the courts and
people-gives to congress, and to con-
gress alone, authority to regulate in
'terstate commerce, and when con-
gress forbids any restraint of such
commerce in any form all must obey
it's mandate. To overreach the action
of congress merely by judicial con-
struction, that is, by indirection, is a
blow at the integrity Of our govern
mental system, and in the end will
prove most dangerous to ALL

LOSS OF LIFE IN MINE
FIRES is APPALLING
Chief Engineer Wilson Declares Lack
of Adequate Protection Is Cause
for Enormous Toll.

New York. = Herbert M. Nelson
chief engineer of the federal bu
reau of mines, in an address before
the National Fire Protective associa
TONS meeting here declared that
the failure to appreciate the seri
BUSINESS of mine fires and lack of
adequate protection have resulted in
the loss of hundreds of lives and the
destruction of millions Of dollars
worth Of property in the last few
years.
Mr.. Wilson went farther and de-.
clared that two of the most serious
disasters in coal mines in the last
two years, one at Cherry, H., in which
262 lives were lost, and the other at
the Pancoast mine. near Scranton,
Pa, in which "a lives were lost, orig.
mated from trivial causes and ought
to have been quickly extinguished
without the sacrifice of human life.
'The contact of several bales Of hay
with blazing torch or an open
miners lamp" said Mr.. Wilson,
caused the Cherry mine disaster with
its great loss of life and total cost
of $1,000,000, of which $4,000 a day
was spent in direct fire fighting for
several days.
THE fire in the Pancoast mine
killed "a miners, left As widows and
137 dependent orphans. This fire is
known to have started in an under
ground room, presumably from some
ofl-soaked waste. The fire was not
thought serious until it had been
burning two hours. This delay was
in large measure, responsible for the
great loss of life.
Besides the loss OF life, fires have
cost much in money. Today fires are
raging in coal and metal mines in
various parts Of the country. Some
of them have got beyond control, and
have been burning for many years,
devouring hundreds Of thousands of
tons Of coal and miles of mine gal
leries.
1.-THE mining engineers of the bu-
reau of mines have made a careful
study of fires in Mines, and have
reached the conclusion that the in
PRODUCTION of comparatively inexpen-
sive fire-1ghting appliances, the adop-
ton Of proper regulations and the in
stitution of a reasonable system of
fire drills may minimize fires and con-
fine others to a brief period of time
with little damage to life and prop
erty."

ENDORSES MONROE DOCTRINE.
London Spectator Declares England
Approves Americas Policy.

London.--The Spectator comments
on the Endorsement by Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British foreign sec
rotary, Of the Monroe doctrine during
his speech at the dinner of the Pill
grims' society as expressing the uni
versal feeling Of Englishment on the
subject. In his speech Sir Edward
defined the Monroe doctrine as
meaning that no European nation
could acquire more territory on
the American continent and added,
"our policy is in full accord with that
doctrine"
The Spectator points out that, as
things are, the maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine necessitates the de-
velopment by the United States of ma
val and military strength equal to the
carrying out of the responsibility she
assumes, the only alternative being
the abandonment or modification Of
her Monroe policy. The newspaper
hopes this latter the United States
will never do, as 1--WE believe the doc
trine is for the peace of the world and
that she should insist on it,

lowed, and some time later a third
train, occupied by detachment of the
Twenty-ffth infantry, set out.
The train ran without orders to pre-
vent rebels along the line picking up
news from the wires.
General Diaz undoubtedly will make
his home in Spain, probably in Madrid.
