EXCEPTIONS SUSTAINED
In Penobscot County Case Involving
Arrest in Tax Action.

The law court has handed down a
rescript in the Penobscot county case
Of Gilbert l.. Fenlason VS.. Harold j,
Shedd ct ais, involving an alleged il
legal arrest and Imprisonment in a
tax case. The rescript, which was
drawn by Associate Justice Albert NJ.
Spear, is as follows:
This is an action of trespass in
which the plaintiff alleges that he was
illegally arrested and imprisoned upon
a tax Illegally assessed. The con-
ceded facts show that the defendant,
Shedd, tax collector of the town OF
Mattawamkeag, arrested the plaintiff
for refusal to pay the tax assessed
against him in 1908 by the other de-
PENDANTS, Webster, Wyman and Apple
bee, purportng to be the legally
qualified assessors for that year. The
case comes up on 10 exceptions of the
plaintiff, only one of which, inasmuch
as it is decisive of the case, need be
considered. The plaintiff contends
that his arrest, even ii in all other
respects legal, was premature. This
contention must prevail. r. S. Oh.
10, Sec 20 provides. IF a person so
assessed. for IL days after demand, re-
fuses or neglects to pay his tax and
to show the constable or collector
sufficient goods and chattels to pay it,
such officer may arrest and commit
him to Jail, until he pays it. or is dis
charged by law"
IL is not in controversy that demand
was made on the plaintiff for payment
of the tax on Feb. cath. 1909. and that
he was arrested for n-payment on
March Sth following 1t is unneces-
sary to note the fraction of the days
of demand and arrest. The phrase
"for II days after demand" as was
here used Tin the common meaning o.
the language" gives the tax payer l.
full DAYS after the day of demand in
which TO pay the tax or point ouJ
property. In other words. the day o.

must pass before the time after

 A SANE FOURTH OF JULY.

The efforts started several years ago for a safe and sane Fourth of July observance seem to be meeting the object for which it was started name ly, the lessening of the number of fla talities and accidents which the meth ods of previous years piled up. The experience of many cities has been most favorable to the change, and 1t is gaining rapidly throughout the country. Young America should not give up the observance of the Fourth but the observance need not be carried to the hazardous limits of the past,

SELECTING THE POLICEMEN.

The court of common council will have the filling of the vacancies in the police department as one of their early duties This is the matter in which there is widespread interest, as much depends upon an efficient police force. In their coming decision the new city government should act for the best interests of the city and place in the vacancies from the head of the department down. men who by their experience and work have shown that they are fit for the places.
 The last council failed to fill some of the vacancies because politics played too great part. The police commissioners in failing to advance men to the regular force from the su- pernumorary list sought to play favor ites. After having served as super numerRries until their turn to go on the regular force. several men were to be jumped. If those at the top were not it to become regular policemen they should not be retained as super numerartas, but no claim of ineompe- tency was presented against them,
 Good Judgment should be exercised in the recommendations to the council and there is every probability that the commissioners will use if. Long serV- ice with faithful attention and recog- nized efficiency should have influence when 1t comes to @ choice. Norwich has had department to be proud of for the past eight years and it is very anxious that fl be continued.

IDEAS OF A PLAIN MAN

Money has so much to do with hap
 piness. Not that you can buy happi-
 ness. But the higher human values
 are all tangled up with such things
 as borrowing, paying, inheriting, over
 charging, spending and saving. Seyenty-siX per cent. of divorces and
 83 per cent. of other forms of marital
 disagreement are caused by money: ST
 per cent. of the arrangements between
 parents and children, 91 per cent. of
 broken friendships, SS per cent. of
 church troubles, 100 per cent. of wars,
 and 101 per cent. of political quarrels can be traced to money. I love those accurate looking figures. There's some thing about figure that IS like a club. Next time you have an argument use them on your opponent Don't hesitate; state your figures positively; nobody can deny them; you will bludgeon ev- eryone 10 silence.

FRIENDS KNOW HIM BEST.

The friends of a man, those who have worked and lived with him. have a knowledge of his sincerity beyond those who know him simply by ac- quaintance. There is reason. there fore, in placing much confidence in the statement of Herbert Welsh of Phila delphia, when he exposes his intimate friend, Theodore Roosevelt, and con elusively shows him to be unfit for the placing of the public trust in him again, Welsh. most influential and active reformer and one of the lead- ing progressives of the country, is not moved by grudge or personal animos- ity, but simply because he believes Roosevelt unfit for the chief execu- tive's office.
 After referring to Roosevelt's insin- cere civil service reform, his untruth- fitness as 8 trait, his submission to Quay as master and boss, his placing of politics ahead of justice, and his unfair treatment of the Indians, MT. Welsh concludes: We are faced by a direct issue between constitutional ity. justice, truth, fixed moral princi- ples. on the one hand, and on the ether 8 great many, a controller of millions, who is the antithesis of these fundamentals. He can betray friends, denounce as liars tellers of awkward truths, break promises, defy establish ed precedents, and yet maintain and even strengthen his hold on countless numbers of people. There is but one hope in such an emergency as this for those who love the truth, and law, and justice-the old fundamentals-tha beyond the verge of the horizon s Waterloo may await the man who, like his great prototype, we have seen first laud and then betray the princi- ples which he professed and by which he rose to power"
 Actuated only by the highest princi- ples and as a guard against the dan ser which threatens the nation should Roosevelt be chosen. the words of MT Welsh hit the nail on the head. It is time a deaf ear was turned on such demagogic and egotistic ideas as the ex-president represents.

GRAND TRUNKS DEVELOPMENT.

The action taken by Governor Foss of Massachusetts in signing the bill permitting the Grand Trunk to enter Boston means the addition of much business for that port and business which would not otherwise be secured there. At the same time. it should mean more business for all three of the Grand Trunk ports in New England within the next few years, as Provi- Gence and New London are bound to teneht by the search for business of the Canadian road. It is quite evident that the plan of development has d certain purpose outlined for each of the ports. Why the road should han de its New York business through any other port than New London is hard to understand, yet with the de- Nelopment in the Latin American countries and the European trade the ports of Boston and Providence will be the ones to look after that busi- ness.
 With the line established through here to New Loudon. it would seem inc logical thing to turn a large DOT ton of such coasting business to that port, but 1t has been evident that other outlets were desired and 10 such an extent that large outlays will be made in building new lines to get them. The securing of additional business by get ting network of lines through New England is an important factor, and in obtaining the rights the Grand Trunk seems to have fayorably impressed the states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island The Grand Trunk. however. should not slight their port in this state after Connecticut has voted d million to improve harbor facilities there. Excursion and summer busi- ness helps, but 1t is the year-rouna freight business which pays.
