Origin of the Alphabet.

In lecture at the Royal Institute Pro-
lessor Flinders Petrie has attacked the
long accepted theory that the origin Of
the alphabet is to be found in Phoenicia,
whence it came from Egyptian hierogly-
phics.
According to Professor Petrie, the
researches Of the last twenty years have
shown that signs were earlier than
pictures and that it was the sign that sur
vived to become the alpha and beta Of one
civilization and the g OF another.
just as the philologist had discovered
one entire system of languages, 80 the
alphabetazian had discovered, in the
diversity Of aiphabets, an original proto-
type of all. In Professor Petre's words:
'sThe Phoenicians are people Of yesterday
compared with those who wrote the signs
that are the origin of all alphabets."
1t was to pottery, said the professor, that
Egyptologisss and others were indebted
for these signs, and their development
was worked out on these lines. Flatnose
made pot and pu. mark on it to show
that it was his. In time because 1t was
his mark, the sign stood for Flatnose him
self, and then the sign became attached to
sound Irrespective of the thing itself.
Gradually the wearing down went on un-
til the sign stood, not for = sound, but a
syllable, and then for letter.
The signs, of course, were not an alpha
bet; that did not arrive until perhaps
1000 b. c., whereas signs were found in
early prehistoric Egypt, probably 1000 B.
c. Proofs Of this common origin were
plentiful, for the signs spread by trade far
north and south, and appeared similarly
in Runic, Iberian aud Harlan and yet
were unknown in Phoenician.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1918

The result of Mondays election
again illustrates the lack of party
conference in purely municipal affairs.
From purely party point of view,
there was not the slightest reason
why every republican in the city
should not have voted the straight
republican ticket; had they done so,
Mr.. McGown would have been elected,
for Ellsworth is normally republican;
and no better candidate for mayor
could have been found, possessed as
he is of all the qualities for the max
ing OF good mayor; yet republicans
enough voted for Mr.. Cunningham,
who has made an excellent record, to
re-elect him. Four of the six men
who compose the city government are
reelected; the experience of the past
year will stand the new board in good
stead, and the coming years record
ought to equal if it does not surpass
that of the year just closed.

The Webb Bill a Law.

The passage over the Presidents veto Of
the Webb bill by both houses of Congress
makes the bill law. The ground for the
Presidents veto was not hostility to the
purpose of the bill, but that it was uncon-
stitutional. Congress did not agree with
him.
What the effect of the law will be re-
mains to be seen. Its enforcement is said
to depend largely upon whether or not the
bill requires the federal officials to en-
force the law by preventing shipments of
liquor to cross the borders of prohibition
states. In the event of federal inspection at
the border, then something like a drouth
might be looked for, and the old-time
practice of bringing in liquor in sailing
vessels might be revived. II, however,
the enforcement is left to local officials,
then the law would not make much differ
ence in conditions.
A generally-expressed opinion is that
while the law will prove powerful aid to
enforcement where there is sincere at
tempt at prohibition, it will make little
or no difference iu localities where the
traffic is recognized and regulated by
the local officials.
1t is not the understanding Of the new
law that it puts on the federal officials any
burden of enforcing it, but that it simply
empowers State officials to seize liquors in
transit, fright they have not hitherto pos
sessed. In the counties of Cumberland,
Androscoggin and Penobscot, and posi-
bly, in others, open lquor-selling is per-
mitted by the officials, who prescribe the
hours when the saloons shall be opened,
etc.
Where the officials regulate the saloons
it is not apprehended that any additional
powers that may be conferred upon them
will rsvoiutionize the situation. II, how
ever, 1t should develop that fedora
officials are expected to see that the Law
is enforced. not only on the New Hamp-
shire border, but at ports of entry and or
the Canadian frontier, Maine woulC
doubtless enjoy Statewide prohibition
for the first time in the nearly sixty year
that the law has been upon the statute
books.

OBITUARY.
GAIT. WILLIAM PERRY WOODWARD.

CAPT. WILLIAM PERRY WOODWARD.
Capt. William Perry Woodward, for
nearly fifty years captain of coastiEg
vessels sailing out OF Ellsworth, died
Monday forenoon at his home on Park
street, aged seventy years.
Capt. Woodward came home from sea
five weeks ago, after hauling his vessel up
for the winter. He was i'll at the time,
suffering from a serious liver trouble, but
sheer will power kept him up until two
days before his death. The immediate
cause of death was heart failure.
Capt. Woodward was born in Ellsworth
Dec. q, 1872, son OF the late Mathew and
Julia Nv hittakerl Woodward. This city
had always been his home. He began GO
ing to sea when a boy, and at twenty-five
years of age was captain of a vessel.
Among the vessels he had commanded
were the schooners Panama, Telegraph,
Frank Maria, Anna s Murch tbuiit for
him in 1872, Redondo, Fair Wind, j. NJ.
Kennedy and Henrietta A. Whitney. The
la tier vessel, formerly. the e. and ]. Oak
ley, was rebuilt for him in 1895, and he
remained 10 command OF her until his
death. He was the oldest captain, both in
years and in length OF service, sailing out
of Union river.
He was man OF integrity, and with a
high sense OF honor, strictly conscientious
Ia his relations with his vessels owners
and with all with whom he had business
dealings during all the years OF his SER
vice. He was a member OF Lygonia lodge,

Legislative News Of Interest to Han

cock County Readers. -rs.s
Most unusual action was taken in the
House Wednesday, when majority re-
port of the judiciary committee, signed by
nine of it's members, was turned down and
minority report signed by but one mem
Der, was accepted in its stead. This was
on the bill to divorce the offices of re-
corder of the Ellsworth municipal court
and clerk of courts OF the county. The
vote of the House in favor of adopting the
minority report was So to 81. The Senate
had previously accepted the majority re-
port. The bill will probably die between
the two branches.
The bill to admit automobiles TO bar
Harber and the bill to allow the town OF
Mt. Desert to open certain roads to auto
mobiles were reported favorably Friday.
COMMITTEE HEARINGS.
Forrest b. Snow, of Bluehill, judge OF
the Western Hancock municipal court,
pleaded for the re-enactment OF the law
giving that court recorder before the
judiciary committee Thursday afternoon.
This office was abolished two years ago.
Prior to two years ago the salary of the
recorder was $500, but the new bill pro-
vides for compensation of but 800.
Albert C. swazey, of Bucksport, opposed
the measure on the ground that recorder
was unnecessary.
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST.
The bill to repeal the gang hook law
was favorably reported Wednesday.
The bill providing for the adoption of
the Massachusetts ballot law was favcra-
bly, reported Thursday. This measure
provides that the name of each candidate
for whom a voter is to cast his ballot shall
be marked with cross in square at the
right of the name. On Tuesday the Senate
voted, 10 to 5, in favor of the proposed
in the election laws.
By reason of the progressive members OF
t he legislature acting with the democratic
members in the House, the effort to make
the Portland Press the State paper was
defeated, and the Ne,c Age, Ex-Governor
Plaisted's organ, will remain the official
organ of Maine for another
two years, although an effort is to be
made to reconsider this vote.

For the third time since 1861 we are
living under democratic President.
The first break in republican rule
came in 1884, when Mr.. Cleveland be-
came President. He was defeated in
1855, but was again elected in 1892.
He was succeeded by Mckinley in
1896. Until now McKinley's success
sors in the presidency have been re-
publicans. Thrice defeated for the
presidency, Mr.. Bryan becomes Mr..
Wilson's secretary of state.
