his service to the state and to the Ma
tional Guard organizations under his SUI
pervision, while they appreciate the
friendly personality which has been as
distinctive a feature of his service with
and for the Guard. In connection with
his work as adiutant general General
Dill has been a more or less frequent
visitor to Portland. both in consultation
with officers of the Reserves and in other
business of his department. He has been
included as a guest of honor at several
of the social functions, and in these he
has been able to accept the courtesies
extended.

A huge bear, which has been believed
by some Penobscot hunters to have
charmed life, has just suecumbed to
the rifle of Walter G.. Sherman and
taken TO market at Bangor. This bruin
has been hunted for six years in the
neighborhood of Hudson. Glenburn and
Alton. The bear was caught in a trap
six years ago by Sherman, but escaped
by gnawing off a paw. Since that time
he has made frequent raids, killing
many sheep. stealing pigs and spoliins
acres of growing corn. He was easily
traced by the stub paw. and although
shot at many times, always escaped.
He el1ded traps several times by
spriEging them and making off with
the bait. When found in the trap a
few days ago he had dragged 1t nearly
mile. Bullet marks were found in
both ears and two long sears on the
tanks showed the course of others
The bear weighed 225 pounds.

Wilson and the Currency.
Kansas civ JonrnalD


few weeks after his nomination
for the presidency Woodrow Wilson
made the statement that he was in
favor of currency reform but Ieit
called upon to confess that he dia
not know much about the matter
He was not an expert on currency
and would be compelled to rely upon
sound advice in dealing with SUD-
iect of such momentous Importance.
Apparently he has found time since
his election to complete his f1nanciai
edcuation to the point of absolute
confidence in his own judgment, OF
| he has decided to disregard the KIM
of advice he once sought. For the
President seems very impatient with
the members of the American Bank
| ers' Association who have denounced
1.-THE present owen Glass bill as So
cialistic and impractical.
From the White House the other
night came word that Mr.. wilson
did not think the views OF the Dos
| ton bankers convention, as they pore
| on the currency bill now before the
senate. represented the general pup
| lie sentiment of the country. II
this means anything it means thai
| the President is now unwilling u
take counsel of men who have spent
their lives as students of currency
problems and who ought to know
much that bears directly upon the
measure now before the President
and Congress. 1t may be true that
the opinion of these bankers from all
tat g 81 variance
with public sentiment" But that
| is none the less reason why the
| President should give the bankers
views very careful consideration
I."Public sentiment is important III
considering broad and general poll
eies of a non technical nature, bu'
! the average person is utterly lacking
| in the knowledge or. experience TO
outline currency revision.
In one thing the President is quite
right: business men are anxious tha'
the banking and credit question
should be settled definitely and al
once. But it is even more important
| that these great matters should De
settled right when they are settled
The currency problem is one OF much
| CO1lplexlCy anu II IcNuhOo hiSh NSS'-
meal knowledge to understand the
| full scope of the matter. 1t is GER
tain that few if any of the members
| of Congress or those close to the
President are skilled financiers. 1t If
absurd to think that the thousands
of bankers from all over the country
and of all shades of political faitp
would condemn the pending bill un-
i less there were sound economic fea-
sons for so doing. In disregardlne
the recommendations of this conven'
ton the President eXalts the opinions
of politicians over those of exper
financiers, and in attempting u
| square his action with his interpre'
tation of public sentiment ne
taking a long jump in the dark.

Cumberland county is sued Cor SlO-

pany in an action entered at this term
Of the supreme judicial court The
plaintiff company, which leases the
workshop connected with the Cumher-
land county Jail and there employs the
prisoners in the manufacture of cane
chairs, alleges that this is the amount
of the damages they sustained when
during April and May of this year they
were unable to occupy the workshop
because of repairs that were being
made there. 1t is admitted by the
plaintiff that there were certain reser-
vations in the lease of the shop, which
was maze in January. 1912, for period
of two years, but they claim that the
only right the county authorities had
to enter the shop after the lease was
made was for the purpose of inspec-
ton and ascertaining the condition and
Usage of the prisoners there. They
claim. therefore. that the extensive
repairs. which extended over a period
from Apri! II to May II, enereached
