BROTHER AIDED PRESIDENT
Charles p. Taft Tells Senate

,r cations to Others.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, Oct 9.-Dan II. Hanna,
son OF Senator Marcus A. Hanna and
the Boss Flynn" of the Roosevelt cam
paign in the State OF Ohio, contributed
more to the Roosevelt primary cam
paign in that state than Charles P.
Taft. brother Of the President, contrib
uted to the Taft primary campaign of
the present year. according to the tes-
timony given by the two men before
the Senate investigating committee to-
day. .
To the state organization, Mr.. Hanna
said, he contributed $4,000. Mr.. Taft's
contributions to A. l.. Vorys for the
same purpose was $s4.s00. The testi-
mony was Ill the more startling In view
of the fact that Senator Dixon, Roose-
velt's campaign manager, had charged
before the committee that the Taft men
had spent fortune In the Ohio primary
campaign.
The contrast between the motives
that actuated Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. Taft
was no less marked. Walter Brown, to
whom the greater part OF the Hanna
contributions in the state campaign
were entrusted, said Mr.. Hanna was
anxious that there should be as strong
a party organization In the state as
there was in the time OF his father"
Mr.. Taft. explaining the purpose hr
had In mind in contributing TO the sup
port Of the Presidents campaign. said:
Personally believed that my brother
was admirably equipped for the Presl-
dency. ! believed In his integrity and
his fearlessness, and I knew that no.
body could bulldoEe him. The principal
thing to be obviated was influence from
a monetary standpoint. My object in
going into the campaign was that II he
was elected President he should Walk
into the White House free from any
monetary obligation to any individual
interest or corporation. On that basis

The Special Session.

The special session of the legisla-
ture of Maine eonvenes in Augusta
to day. According to Gov. Flaisted's
proclamation, the three purposes of
this extra session, the first extra ses-
sion since the outbreak of the Civil
war, are: First, to redistrict the
State for representatives in Congress;
second, to amend the laws governing
elections, and third, to propose an
amendment to the organic law of the
State which will permit of local option
with regard to licensing the selling of
intoxicating liquors.
In our judgment the first two could
wait until the next regular session;
no great public exigency seems to de-
mand immediate action on these.
The same is true of the proposed
bond issue - desirable as it is - for
good roads.
The real object OF this session is to
''bulr' through, if possible, an amend
ment to the constitution legalizing
liquor selling; in other words, local
option. And this, in spite of the re-
suit of the election last September.

Fight the Brown- Tails.

We wish especially to call attention
to an article printed elsewhere in this
issue which treats of the brown-tail
moth situation in this neighborhood.
The indifference of people right here
in town over a situation which is seri-
Gus is astonishing.
1t will well repay even those who
are aroused, but who are not skillful
in detecting nests, to employ some
one who is to inspect their orchards
and shade-trees.
An owner of an orchard of fifty
trees reported the other day that he
could find but five nests; the next
day a. man with trained eye went
through that orchard and removed
more than fifty nests, getting five
from one tree on which the owner did
not discover one.

It by pressing the point Of needle I'M

gers or pair OF tweeZers you may
not be able to pull 1t out even then. A

The Giraffe as II Feeds

The singular shape OF the giraffe Is
adapted to its habits OF life. II feeds
on the young branches and top shoots
of the trees, and its long fore legs and
neck enable 1t to browse at far great
er height than any other animal. says
the Philadelphia Inquirer. In feeding
It stretches up its neck and with its
long prehensile tongue, which it can
protrude to surprising distance,
hooks down the tender shoots and
leaves into its mouth. But the crea-
lures peculiar form, though enabling
1t to feed on what It likes best, Is
sometimes the cause OF its destruction.
The fore legs are so long that to reach
the ground II has to stretch them wide
apart and bend down its neck in
semicircle, and while drinking in this
defenseless attitude the lion OF leopard
springs upon 1t and overpowers it be-
fore 1t can recover itself.

Hon. Joseph M. Hutchins, of North
Penobscot, who is a candidate for repre-
sentative on the republican ticket for the
Bluehill Surry Brookiin = Penobscot-
Brooksville class, has mad long, interest
ing and useful career in the public service.
He has been three times member OF the
legislature, representing two different
constituencies; he has been chairman Of
the board of selectmen several times, and
has served one term of six years as county
commissioner.
In all these offices his record shows him
in favor of the greatest economy consist
emit with efficient public service.
Mr.. Hutchins has been thoroughly in
dependent on all questions, being guided
by his Judgment formed from the widest
and fullest information obtainable.
He declares that if elected he will serve
the people-not the politicians and cor
porations. In the legislature OF 1903 he
made two notable speeches, and they at
tracted wide attention. One was in oppo
sition to the Sturgis bill, although he is
the strongest kind of a prohibitionist,
prophesying clearly, and pointing out how
the bill, il it become a law, would react.
