Three score years ago, two of the
SWEETEST military organizations OF
Maine were the Bangor Light Infantry
and the Bath City Grays. Both organ
izations led off in the social gaieties of
the State, the Light Infantry being
composed of leaders in business and
social prestige on the Penobscot while
the Grays were representative ship
builders, bankers, merchants and pro-
fessional men of the Shipping City of
the kennebec.
At that time Bath boosted of one of
the biggest hotels in the State, the
Sagadahock House, which was destroy
ed by Baths big fire somewhat over
twenty years ago.
In the Bath organization members
of such leading families of Maine as
tho Sewalls, the Pattens, the Hough-
tons, the Reeds, the Rogers. the Full
lers and others of social and business
eminence appeared upon the roster,
while the Bangor company included
such men of note as John A. Peters,
afterwards famous as one of Names
greatest Chief Justices, the Wash
burns, Bradburys, Hodsdons. Pearsons
Pierces, Harlows, Reynolds, Herseys
and other well known families of the
Queen City of the East.

Words of warning against the prac-
tice of insurance agents soliciting in
surance business before the company
has applied for an secured a license
from the State insurance department
are contained in a recent bulletin is
sued from that department. The law
in that connection is clearly cited by
the insurance commissioner in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
1.-THE attention of this department
has recently been directed to several
cases which lead us to believe that
many general agents and managers are
following the practice of engaging To-
cal agents and allowing them to So
licit insurance business before their
company has applied for and secured
a license from this department. Sec
ton SO of Chapter 40 of the Revised
Statutes of Maine very clearly states
that any person who shall receive, So
licit or forward any risk or application
for insurance shall first be licensed by
this department.; otherwise he is sub
jected to penalty. We believe this
practice. If it has become such, is pur-
sued without consideration on the part
of those responsible and generally
without knowledge Of the officers of
the company. However, it is the local
agent or solicitor who is punishable
and not the manager or agent who
should take the necessary steps to
procure a license and upon whom the
agent or solicitor depends to take care
of the license matter provided he is
aware that a license is required. We
cannot believe that any general agent
or manager would jeopardize the au-
thority of his company in this State
by permitting agents or solicitors to
represent his company without a IL
cense. Under the laws of this State
the authority granted to companies of
other states allows them to transact
business only through constituted
agents resident therein and subject to
all of the laws of this State. A viola
ton of the agents license law would
constitute a violation of the laws to
which the companies are subjected and
business received through such alleged
agent could not be legally written

Peace!

When all our monuments are dust,
When there's an end of every trust,
When aviation's safe and sane,
When bankers cease to work for gam,
When Justice and the law agree
And get along in harmony,
When strikes and lockouts are no
more
And there's an end of bitter war,
When all of us shall have our share
OF food and clothes and Gods good
air,
When women cease to think Of dress
And cost of living groweth less,
When all men swear off smoke and
drink
Ard there's nobody in the cl!nk,
And life no more is grim and glum'
But glad as the millennium,
When all the racial rancor's fled
And love sets every heart aglow,
When all the MeXicans are dead
Then therell be peace in Mexico!
