Democrats are to have the internal
revenue offices in Maine shortly. The
appointment Of M. L. Kimball of Nor
way, as income tax agent for the State
has already been announced. It will be
followed shortly by the selection OF two
deputies, one for the western section OF
the State and another from the Eastern
section. Mr.. Kimball, however, who is a
Bowdoin graduate, will have the best
Maine place under the internal revenue
service. Including his So day for
travelling expenses he will draw about
$500 year.

The Maine Press association has ''done
itself proud" by electing as president,
W. o. Fuller of the Rockland Courier
Gazette. The honor has never been
more worthily bestowed and the position
will be worthlly filled. Fuller is not
only a journalist of ability and ex-
perience but literary cuss" as we'll,
and as POSTMASTER at banquet he is
worth the price of admission. Now let
us get Oliver Otis into the association,
even if it is necessary to use force. The
death of that good old Democrat and
genial companion, Col. Adams of the
Portland Argus, left vacancy which
has not been filled, and We can think of
no one more eligible for the place than
Otis. 1t would do him good to mix in
with the Republican newspaper men, and
he would be welcomed by them. Some
time ago we advocated changing the
system of meetings, under which they
alternate between Portland and Au-
gusta and holding the meetings in diff
ferent sections of the State, and we are
glad to see that the necessary change
was made in the bylaws at the recent
annual meeting in Portland. Under the
old system the meeting in January, 1915,
would be held in Augusta, but it was de-
cided to meet again in Portland. This
we believe to be mistake and hope it
may be rectifed The meeting should
be held in Rockland, the home Of Presi
dent Fuller, which would assure an old
time attendance at the meeting and ban
quet.

A retired (?) politician in giving the
reasons why he is a Progressive omits
the most important one, viz, that after
holding office for number of years as
Republican he failed to get an office he
sought and so became what is generally
known as sorehead-a then, natural
ly, Progressive. And there are others.

When tie Office Of Collector Of Inter-
nal Revenue Collector for the District
of Maine was bestowed upon New
Hampshire man, Hon. Cyrus w. Davis OF
Waterville, a disappointed aspirant for
the position. had his endorsements re-
turned to him, and in them he found the
following letter from "my old friend
Libby"
.'Hon. Woodrow Wilson, Dear Sir.
"Mr. Cyrus Davis of this State has
presented himself as candidate ior the
Collectors Office of Revenue for this
district, and please allow me to say ne
has made himself very Objectionable to
many of our good people. Especially by
his attitude in favor of the Brewers and
Rum interests, and has not the qualitica-
lions for the position above that of many
others.
"From one of the many Republicans
that made your election possible.
"Yours truly,
This is made the text of an open letter
by Mr.. Davis to his 'old friend" Libby,
in which he INDUCES in more or less
sarcasm of no public interest, but con-
cludes by saying:
In doing what you could to assist the
the President in finding a worthier man
than to collect revenue, you may pos
sibly have uDwittingly done Maine a
slight service, for am row free to do a
work which like, namely: Spend as
much of my time as possible in securing
for my native State sane regulation OF
the liquor traffic in the cities.
Possibly Mr.. Davis may find his work
for the liquor dealers and brewers more
congenial and more profitable pecuniarily,
than the office he sought and failed to
get.

The Third District Congressman took
pity on the young man and has visited
the United States District Attorney here
in his behalf. Mr.. Peters pointed out
that Mccarthy had promised the $3.50
without any idea that it was criminal
offense and that Mccarthy had already
been punished sufficiently, because the
Civil Service Commission has stricken
his name from the eligible list so that he
can not hereafter get a government
clerkship.
Congressman Peters has made an ap-
peal to the Treasury Department and to
the Navy Department to send an ice
breakingship to the Bay of Islands to
relieve one or more Bucksport fishing
vessels. At that he worked in conjunc-
ton with Representative A. P. Gardner,
who represents the Gloucester, Mass,
district in Congress. Three fishing YES
sells have been frozen in the Bay and
heretofore when this has happened the
government has usually sent a cutter or
a tug to help them get out. First Mr..
Peters and Mr.. Gardner went to the
Treasury Department and called upon
Assistant Secretary Newton, who has
charge of the Revenue Cutter service.
But they were told that the revenue cut
tiers on the New England coast were
needed there ana could not we'll be
spared. The Treasury Department could
not we'll help the imprisoned fisher YES
sells. From there they went to the Navy
Department and appealed to Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt, who finally told
them it was impractical for the Navy to
send big tug. The only craft of that
kind available was at New York. 1t
would be seven or eight days of cruising
for the tug to reach Halifax and then
two or three days from there to the Bay
of Islands. It was suggested as better
that owners of the fishing vessels
telegraph to Halifax and engage some
ting from there to break the ice. AT
least one of the three vessels was from
Bucksport, the property of Capt. 7. M.
Nicholson. Later the Government Off
Gals decided TO comply with Mr.. Peters

Praise for a nations cultural at

representative men OF science to the
progress OF civilization, Is often heard
on behalf Of this and that country.
Much Of this praise, too, consists Of
conflicting claims. Some general idea,
however, of what the people Of var
ious nations have done for the en-
lightments Of all may be obtained by
an analysis Of the different reference

and from their lists the number OF
men who have won general recogni-
ton In research may be ascertained
for each land. Il;
Such a comparative study was re-
Gently made by one Of this country's
leading scientific Journals. It record
ed 1873 scientific men in the Amer
lean scientific blue list, and .472 for
Great Britain, Statistics for these
two countries, however, were more
inclusive than the statistics furnished
for the countries Of Europe. Recog-

tons were determined as follows:

Hungary, 1856; Italy, 215; Switzer-
