Our Next Representative
To Congress, Who He Is and
What lie Stands for in Maine.

Ellsworth, Me, July 29.-(SpeciaD.-'
ker CT the Maine House of Representa-
tives and now candidate of the Republi-
can party for representative in Congress
from the Ord Maine district, is one of
the few men in politics of whom it can
be tfuthfully said that he has had po-
lltical honors thrust upon him agains
his earnest protestations. He reluet
antly became a candidate for repre-
sentative in the Legislature in 1908
was elected by a large majority and
served with distinction in the session
of 1909. In 1910 he was a candidate for
the usual second term. and. though the
rest of the ticket slumred badly be-
cause of dissatisfaction with the liquor
situation in some parts of the State,
his "ote held up and he took his scat
after contest in the Legislature.
The session of 1911 found the Demo-
Gratis in the majority and the Repub-
lic2ns forced to content themselves
with giving him the complimentary
vote of the party for Speaker.
The two terms in the lower branch
had been strenuous and Mr.. Peters re-
turred to Ellsworth determined to
give his undivided attention to his law
practice and extensive business inter-
ests. But early in the days of the cam
paisn of 1912, when delegation after
delegation of neighbors and friends
waited upon him and urged that he
permit his name to be used again, ar
guing that 1t would bring great
strength to the ticket, he finally con-
scented. That he was a distinct .le-
ment of strength to his party is evil
denced by the fact that he ran far
ahe2d Of his ticket. was elected by d
handsome majority and helped materi-
ally to pull through the entire county
ticket
On the first day of January, 1913, he
took his seat in 4 House that was nom
inally Republican by n narrow mar
gin, received the vote of every Repub-
lican and Progressive for Speaker and
was elected. Almost Immediately some
of those members who We're elected as
Republicans, chose to act with the
Democrats. or independently, and call
ed themselves Progressives. At any
time after this detection it was en-
tirely within the rights and surely
within the power of the actual major
ity to have deposed Speaker Peters by
simply electirg a successor. So man
ifestiy fair and courteous WAS his con-
duct and 50 superior his ability as a
presiding officer, however. that this ac
tion was never suggested even by the
most violent partisan on the floor
While small group of Progressives
detached themselves from the Repub-
lican majority and acted with the
Democrats in some cases, Mr.. Peters
led the fight of Republicans and Pro-
gressives for all the important adj
vanced legislation which was favored
by the Republican platform at the
Bangor convention, including the pub
lie utilities and good roads bills,
which passed. and the workmen's
compensation act and women suffrage
to the Constitution. which
failed to pass.

Industrial School Matters.

Hon. +. c. CARL appeared as COM
mittee from the board of trustees of
the Industrial School for Girls at Hal
lowell The institution with a normal
capacity of 80, is overcrowded In the
school. today, there are 116 occupants.
Application has been received for seven
more and 90 are boarding in private
families, making 143 of which the in
stitution has the care.
These facts, according to Mr.. CARL
show the overcrowded condition of the
school They have doubled up. and
have slept on mattresses in the halls. :"
said Mr.. CARL, and notices have been
put in the papers to tell magistrates to
commit no more girls
AS to the policy of the institution. Mr..
Carl stated that a few remedies re-
main to meet this vast overflow. A
remedy for the difficulty is that the
school could take care of inmates if
money was at hand.
Mr.. CARL stated that the building now
occupied by the steward. if fixed up and
a steward obtained with the right kind
of wife. more than ten could be ac-
eommodated in this building.
Eighty-three girls are now working
in private families. The school has
up. and the putting out of the girls
into private families, too soon, hindered
greatly the purpose of the school.
School Has Been Graded.
Two years ago the schools We're
GRADED said the principal, Miss Cert
rude Mcdonald. Since then the students
have been compelled to be trained and
are becoming efficient in houseworl<
and have decidedly improved in educa-
tional lines. This year the school held
Il graduat ion.
II the present condition continues
the old order must come back. and Is
and 16-year-old girls must go out to
families unframed and uneducated. a
thing which the school is doing its
best to avoid.
Mr.. CARL suggested that the Council
committee on the State school for boys
he made committee on the Hallowell
institution as well.
The matter of committee to which
the matter could be referred was the
subject of considerable controversy
among the councillors.
Councillor Wheeler moved that mat
ter lay on table for executive session.
The Insane Hospital Matter.
The State auditor had been delegated
by the board of trustees of the Maine
Insane hospital to ask that the notice
of Manning s. Campbell was not long
enough to allow the auditing the ac-
counts. An extension was asked of
the notice to Sept l instead of Aug. I.

ate by Senator Thomas Of Colorado. He
declared that the present system OF with

fused to give his name.
Young Crosby was in company with
his cousin, Frank Anderson. and two
other boys. The young man with the re-
volver met them and displayed the weap-
on, During the curious inspection en-
tered into by the youths. according to
the story Of all four, the weapon was dis
charged. The bullet passed in at the
palm and out oC the back OF Crosby's
hand just back OF the knuckle of the
index finger.

the stranger when asked by one OF the

REVISE POSTMASTER'S

Amendment May Keep Salt

An amendment TO the postoffice appro-
prlation bill passed by the house OF rep-
resenta tiNes in congress. affecting the rat
Ing Of postoffioes. has caused consider
able agitation among nearly 40 post
masters. While II is expected that many
Will go ont OF office next month. they
have been quick to comprehend the ef-
feet OF the amendment, n the bill In
It's present form passes the senate and is
signed by the president 1t may result in
smaller salaries Tor postna sters in the
smaller cities, including Salt Lake and
Ogden.
The amendment provides that In com
putting the rating and the salaries of first
Of stamps. the amount received from the
sale OF parcel post stamps shall be de-
Quoted first and the computation made
ON the sale OF ordinary stamps. AS the
parcel post law provides that all mail
heretofore classed as fourth class matter
must be mailed with pnrcel post stamps
a nd as this class OF mall comprises about
10 per cent OF the whole. the amendment
would affect a great many offices.
The effect of the amendment, II 1t re-
mains on the bill when finally adopted
has attracted the attention OF Post
master A. l. Thomas, who said:
1T may also affect tho allowance for
clerks and carriers. as their number is
very largely determined by the rating Of
the office, which Is made annually. 1t
will not affect the larger offices such
as New York, Boston, Chlcag go. Denver,
etc: There was chance for the Salt
Lake office to get Into the $4,000 year
class from the $500 class, but the amend
mean the postmaster would receive $4,000
instead OF $4,000 year.

they almost forbade the giving of the
