Gov. Barleigh for senator.

Gov. Bdrleigh for Senator.
In a Enthusiastically brief but
pointed letter addressed to the re-
publican party of Maine, ex-Gov. E.
@. Burleigh announces that he is a
candidate for the United States sena-
torship.
II long, faithful and conspicrously
able public service entities one to a
continuation in it, then Gov. Burleigh
is justified in aspiring to the Office OF
senator.
Throughout his career as a public
official - as land agent back in the
'70s; as State treasurer in the sos;
as governor for two terms; as repre-
sentative in Congress for seven con-
secutive terms, he has proved him
self faithful, useful and honorable
public servant, loyal to his country,
biz ; ate, his party and his friends,
aud therefore, has the unbounded con-
fiarnce of the people of Maine.
As Gov. Cobb has formally an.
arced that he is not to be candi-
date, the field is now occupied by Gov.
Burleigh and Judge Powers, the latter
having made formal announcement of
his candidacy some time ago.
Gov. Burleigh's announcement is as
follows:
To the Republicans of Maine:
have decided to become candidate for
the office of United States senator, and trust
that each one of you will regard this public
statement as the equivalent of personal
communication.
My strongest claims, perhaps, to your
favorable consideration must rest upon what
ever measure of success has hitherto attended
my efforts on behalf of the people of Maine,
my personal attention to the needs of my con-
stituents, the experience have gained in as
ISOLATION with the leading men of the nation,
and my wide acquaintance with the depart
merits and bureaus of government.
would not claim that it is wholly because
of the urgent requests of many friends that
come again before the people, but would
frankly say that the fourteen years which
have already given to Names interests at the
seat of national government have awakened in
me strong desire to complete, SO far as pos
sible, the work which should be done for our
State.
With these things in mind, am asking you
to frankly express your judgment of my can
didacy. EDWIN @. BuRLEiaH.

The experience of two Southwest
Harbor young men, who, lured by the
Establishments of skillfully written
advertisements, bought land in Ala
bama, and then went there to inspect
it ought to be lesson to others. Ac.
cording to our Southwest Harbor cor
respondent, they returned "much dis
appointed and thoroughly disguised
with the boom circulars which in
duced them to waste good money on
worthless land in a swampy district
largely covered with water, and with
no Industrial schemes to warrant set
tlementn. What's the matter with
Maine?

For County Commissioner.

ELLSWORTH, Jan. %, 1912.
To the Editor Of The American:
AT the approaching primaries OF the re-
publican party, among other nominations
to be made is that of one member of the
board Of (3) county commissioners for the
county of Hancock. There will probably
be several names to be balloted for, among
which will be my own. should like to
be chosen to fill this office for the two rea-
sons which believe move every man in
becoming candidate for public office:
a. would like land NEEDY the yearly
salary OF $3.50; (2) would appreciate the
evidence of trust and esteem in being Sc
Iected as one of three men to superintend
the county affairs of the 81, 900 and more OF
my fellow-citizens.
The duties and powers of a county COM
missioner in Maine are many in detail,
but in general in addition TO sitting as
member of a tribunal of three to pass
upon questions OF damages to property,
and equalization of taxes, upon appeal,
they relate chiefly to COUNTY estimates,
public ways, and management of county
property-court- house, Jail, etc.
have passsd the meridian Of life, and
am hardly equal to young man in
capacity for physical labor, but with fifty
years experience in the affairs OF men in
this and other countries, feel warranted
in attempting to fill this Office, il elected.
present my name to the voters OF the
republican party because it is the political
party whose principles have met with my
approval, and with which 1 have acted and
voted for more than forty years, but as a
voter only up to this time. 1 present it in
this way because / could not, if would
and frankly say would not il could
make personal interview canvass.
With this brief statement leave the re-
suit to the counting of the ballots.

A single case Of smallpox is reported
from Sound, in the town of Mt. Desert.
The physicians and board OF health have
taken all precautions against the spread of
the disease. With the present-day knowi-
edge Of this disease, and the efficacy Of
vaccination, it is one of the most easily
controlled of ali contagious diseases, and
the panic of alarm felt by many people at
the mention OF smallpox is entirely un-
warranted. There is more danger to a
community from one case OF consumption
improperly cared for, than from case OF
smallpox. When this fact becomes gen.
orally recognized, there will be some hope
for ultimate victory in the campaign
against the 'swhite plague.

The brown-tail moth contest. inaugu-
rated by Hancock Pomona grange is max
ing a hit. Nearly all the subordinate
oranges have entered into the contest for
the cash prize to be awarded by the Po-
mona grange to the grange collecting the
greatest number of nests. This looks like
a grand good suggestion for the at ricul-
tural department o; Maine. Why not use
some of the money available for fighting
the brown tail moth in good-sized cash

 DECLARED ILLEGAL
Supreme Court Makes Important De-
 cision in Bathtub Trust Case.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Tn an epoch making decision today in the so-callei "bathtub trust case" the supreme court of the United States laid down the broad principle that there can be no monopoly in the unpatented product of a patented machine without violat- ing the Sherman antitrust law. Jus tice AIcKenna delivered the unanimous opinion of the court.
 In accordance with this doctrine, the court struck down as illegal the ''li- cense agreements" by which manufac- turers of S5 per cent. of the sanitary enaHeled ironw are in the United States were bound together in combination The license agreements allowed the manufacturers to use a patented dredger, but only on condition tha' they abide by, an attached price list would not sell to jobbers who bought from independents, would not sell in certain territory and would not sell "seconds."
 The officials of the department o: l.justice were highly elated over the de- cision, which 1t is claimed will have an important bearing upon severa .n- vestigations now under way by Attor- ney General Wickersham, as well as antitrust suits already filed against the so-called moving picture trust and the United Shoe Machinery com pany. Today's decision sustains the decree of the United States district court fol Maryland abrosating the license agreements" and p&Ves the way fol the retrial of the criminal suit against the "bathtub trust the fiTst trial of which at Detroit several months age resulted in a disagreement of the jury

The Musksteers of Pig Alley, Excep- tional Biograph Feature Film.

In the powerful Biograph story which Is the feature at the Breed to- day there is a revelation for the pub lie, inasmdch as the inner workings of the gangsters are clearly shown, such workings as those of which the public and newspapers know little. It is decidedly out of the usual run of mo- ton pictures, shows the gangs in their moments of desperation and the power they exert, while the theme of the story is very interesting and serves as a vehicle to present the facts.
 The Strange Story of Elsie Mason, featuring Alice Joyce and Tom Moore, holds the rapt attention of all who see it and by it's beautiful backgrounds and splendid acting makes it one of the real gems. on the programme while Sunshine, by the Essanay company, is a delightfully."- appealing story, remark ably well produced.

ARREST OF ALLEGED
 CHAIN OF sWINDLERs. Fraudulent Game Said to Have Melted $1,500,000 in Three Years.

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 18.-With the ar rests today in six cities of men al~ legged by the government to Constitute monumental get-rich- quick chain of sWlndlers, United States secret Service men declare they have brought to the surface an organization that has mulcted small corporations, inventors and promoters of $1,500,000 in the last three years. The arrests vert made as result of secret iElictments returned here by the last United States grand jury. Those arrested were: F. D. Min yard, at Cleveland; George H. Hanna ford, Chicago; H. B. Warren, Roches- ter, N. Y.; Mason G. Worth, New York; Thomas FishMick, Boston, A. Bruce Crane, Newark, N. Y. Indict- ments were returned here against five men who are alleged to have consti- tuted one link of the chain The five are Minyard, Hannaford, F'ishwfck and J. R. Long and J. G. Malcolm, who are said to be in Canada
 Tie other arrests were made on af- fidavits of government officials.
 Much of the evidence which resulted in the indictments, it is said. was giv- en the grand jury by woman, Miss Clara Kronage, formerly employed as a stecographer by the finn of Min yard, Kessler & Malcolm. The plan ot operation, it is charged, was for mem- bers of the concern to advertise their ability to sell stocks for promoters and inventors Those who answered the advertisement were told that the stock | could not be sold at it's true value un- less guaranteed by reliable company, The customer was then recommended it is charged, to George s. Hannaford who conducted the Chicago Debenture company. Hannaford, the i1ndictmeny states, would guarantee the stock charging 1 per cent. of its par value The promoter then would be informed that purchaser for the entire issue had been found, providing the proposi- tion was found worthy. A charge rat ing as high as one-third or sometimes 45 per cent. of the par value of the stock was made for this Investigation Afterwards the promoter was inform ed that his proposition had proved tC be no good and was dropped.
