Election In Portland.

William NJ. Ingraham, democratic, was
elected mayor OF Portland Monday over
Frank NJ. Low, republican, by a plurality
of 363.
The republicans elected four aldermen
and fourteen members OF the common
council, and the democrats elected i've
aldermen and thirteen members Of the
council. On joint ballot the republicans
will have eighteen votes and the demo-
Gratis eighteen with the deciding vote in
the power OF democratic mayor. This
will give the democrats, on the face OF the
returns, control of the city government.

to Congress yesterday coupled with de-
fence OF the country's military prepared
ness a word of assurance to business that
it would not be embarrassed by further
legislation. He said that the trust and
currency Legislative program of his adj
ministration virtually had been COM
pleted, leaving no conjecture as to what
was to follow, and that there was clear
and firm road ahead on which honest men
might travel with perfect confidence.
For passage at this session, the Presi-
dent urged measures to meet the changed
conditions due to the European war,
particularly the government ship pur-
chase bill, measures to unlock resources
OF the national domain and to encourage
improvement of navigable waters for
generation of power, and the .bill already

The sssouthwest" Wants something

The tSouthwest" Wants Something.
The Southwest" democracy OF Han
cock county is demanding its rights,
which it sets forth in letter in the inter-
est of the campaign OF Joseph {. Harmon,
of Stonington, for the place on the gov
ernor's council. The following letter is
being sent out to democratic senators and
representatives throughout the fifth
councillor district, composed OF the
counties of Hancock, Knox, Lincoln and
Waldo. The letter is signed by the secre-
taries OF the democratic town committees
of the towns In the southwestern section
OF Hancock county:
STosIseros, NE, Dec. I, 1914.
To the Hancock County Democracy:
The democracy OF southwestern Hancock
county feels duty bound to bring to your
careful consideration the fact that 1t has
never had anyone OF it's members enjoy the
honor of holding q county or state ONCE In
the memory Of the present constituency.
We are all aware 1t is due this county to
provide the next member from this district
for the governors council. and. in support Of
our fairness in asking that our end supply
the candidate for that exalted Office, we sub
init the following facts, to wit:
The NORTH SECTION furnished from
Great Pond the land agent and forest COM
missioner for one term.
The SOUTHEASTERN SECTION has been
honored with the clerk OF courts for four
years, q county commissioner for thr &c years,
high sheriff for part of a term. O county
attorney for four years, all these four from
Bar Harbor; judge of probate from North
east Harbor for four years. and a high sheriff
from Southwest Harbor for four years, to-
gesher with q senator for one term.
The CENTRAL SECTION enjoyed recogni-
ton by having from Ellsworth the county
treasurer for one term, the register of deeds
for four years, the disclosure commissioner
for one term, and, from Biuehill. g part term
service as high sheriff.
The NORTHWESTERN CORNER has sent
out senator from Bucksport, thus showing
fair and full representation from all over
the county excepting the SOUTHWESTERN
SECTION which, thus far, has had nothing.
In evidence OF our faith in the belief we
should be given an equal opportunity, we
stand on our record converting district,
within q few years, from q strougiy-in-
trenched republican buiwark to one now
celebrated as one of the staunchest demo-
cratic quarters in the state--indeed, being
considered the only safely democratic dis
trict in the county.
Therefore, We feel that we merit the conf
denee of the democracy in asking that we have
accepted from us q selection, in the person Of
Hon. Joseph C. Harmon. whose record as q
successful candidate for representative from
out of this formerly republican stronghold,
stands prominently before u.s.
In behalf of the furtherance OF the csndi-
dacy Of Mr.. Harmon, we, the legally chosen
officials Of the several democratic town COM
mittees, voice the sentiments of the democ-
racy in this section Of the county by respect
fully asking that you weigh these facts we'll
before making your hnai decision in the mat
ter.

OBITUARY.
JEREMIAH T. GILES.

Jeremiah T. Giles, one OF the best known
citizens OF Ellsworth and OF the up river
section OF Hancock county, died at 80
o'clock this morning, at his home on
South street. His health had been faiiing
for some months, but a naturally robust
constitution combsted stubbornIy with a
complication OF diseases, and be gradually
sank away.
Mr.. Giles was born at Aurora on June
q. 1850, the son OF Samuel end Eliza
(KimbsiD Giles. He early developed an
apsness for numbering operations, and
this, coupled with exceptional business
ability, soon placed him among the most
successful lumber operators in this sec
tion. From the stump TO the mill, on the
were more thoroughly versed In the de-
tails either OF management or actual hard
work than he.
His operations extended at times beyond
the confines Of Hancock county, and he
had held large interests in timberlsnd in
other parts oftbe State and in New Bruns-
wick. A few recent years he had spent in
mining and ranch operations in California,
but the cali OF the woods was strong upon
him, and a year ago he returned and was
engaged in new operations in Hancock
county when his illness compelled him TO
give up.
In town or under the severer test OF
camp life, MIR. Giles was always the gen
iai, companionable man, ana many friends
will learn of his death with a sense of per-
sonai loss.
Mr.. Giles married Miss Julia Rowe, OF
Aurora, on May "a, 1874. The greater
part of their married life has been spent
in Ellsworth. His widow survives him,
with four daughters Mrs. f. c. Burriil,
Of Portland; Mrs. Harry C.. Acho-n, OF
Brookiine, Mass, and Misses Bertha and
Hazel Giles, OF Ellsworth. All the chill
dren were privileged to be at home dur
ing the last weeks OF their fathers illness.
OF his own family, one brother and one
sister snrvive--Phiiip Giles, OF West Eden,
and Mrs. Mary Davis, of Aurora, and five
half brothers and one half sister Frank
lin and Edmond Giles, OF Amherst; John
II. and Adelbert, OF No. 81. Otis, OF East
Mschias, and Mrs. Nellie Palmer, OF
Aurora.
The funeral will be held at The home

to look into the matter of salaries of
State and county officials, with the
view to greater uniformity through
out the State, has filed its report.
sweeping reductions are recon-
mended in the salaries in Hancock
county, and the presumption is that
the committee, investigating the
amount of work entailed in the va
rious offices, decided that higher
salaries prevailed in Hancock than in
the other counties, for no other
county came in for such general re-
auctions.
We do not pretend to know how
the amount of work devolving upon
the officials Of Hancock county COM
pares with that Of officials In other
counties-we must concede to the
committee, which had a hearing
in each county, the opportunity,
at least, of obtaining this
knowledge. We do know that the
voters and tax payers of Hancock
county have demanded men OF
proven efficiency for the various Of
fees within their gift, and we have
heard no general complaint that they
were not earning their money.
While it might naturally seem the
prerogative OF the tax payers of the
county to fix the salaries of their own
officials, the report OF the committee,
apparently indicating that Hancock
is paying larger salaries than the
other counties for the same work.
will doubtless find ready acceptance.
We publish elsewhere list of the
salaries of county officers, and the
changes recommended. Only one
salary is recommended to beiraised-
that of the county treasurer by $50;
two are left as at present-register OF
probate and county attorney, and re-
auctions of from 800 to $500 are
recommended in the iothers. The
aggregate of reductions recommended
is about q, 800.
OF course these recommendations
must yet come before the legislature,
and it is safe to say that the matter
will be pretty thoroughly threshed
out before the changes are made.
The most important features of the
report as to State offices ia. the rec
ommendation to increase the govern
or's salary from $1,000 to 5000, and
that the inland fish and game COM
mission of three members be done
away with, and the department put in
the hands of one man, thus placing it
on the same basis as the sea and
shore fisheries department.

If Clerk of Courts Bunker is elected
secretary of state, and If the recon-
mendations of the legislative COM
mittee on salaries is adopted by the
next legislature, he will be open to
double congratulations, for he would
step out of an office in which salary
cut of $500 is made and into an Office
in which a salary raise of $500 is
made. Net gain for Mr.. Bunker,
$1,000.

This is Worth Something .

''For the past fortnight we all have
been living on American food, and it
saved US from starvation" was the
statement made Sunday by Belgian
committeeman distributing Ameri-
can relief shipments in Liege prov
ince.
sour people knew food was ex-
pected from America, and it's arrival
was the sole topic of conversation
throughout the province. Because it
did not arrive Immediately the poorer
classes began to grow anxious and
their anxiety increased daily. When
they became aware that food from
America actually was in Liege, they
were almost frantic with joy. The
Americans have saved MS from
starvation was the cry on every lip,
Every American seen in Liege was
hailed as benefactor. Whenever an
automobile carrying an American flag
passes In the streets, the people take
OF their hats"
Surely, this is worth something.

There viii be an unusual shortage
OF lawyers in the next Maine legis-
lature, it is said. There will be only
four mem bers of the legal profession
in the upper house and thirteen in the
lower. As two of these will probably
be elected as presiding officers in
their respective branches of the legis
lature, it leaves only fifteens lawyers
to be spread out over the various
committees, and of course all OF these
will want to be on the judiciary COM
mittee or the committee on legal af-
fairs, the twenty places on which are
usually filed entirely by lawyers. 1t
looks as il we would have to try the
experiment of making some Law
without lawyers. We should worry

Hunting in the Maine woods is "safe
and sane' compared with that in
Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and

Minnesota is of only twenty days, yet
in that time eleven hunters were

hunters were killed in season al
most as short.

Union school superintendent.

Union SCHOOL superintendent.
THE AMERICAN can, unreservedly,
support one proposition preached by
Alderman Maddocks at the city meet
ing Monday evening-the joining OF
Ellsworth with one OF it's neighboring
towns in union school district for
joint superintendent of schools.
The proposition has been discussed
several times, and some years ago it
was taken up seriously, but too late
for the adjoining towns to insert the
necessary article in the warrant for
their annual town meeting. We hope
now the matter will be vigorously
pushed to fruition, and early enough
to avoid the same obstacle as before.
| The advantages to be derived from
the union system are several fold.
In the first place, under it the towns
would secure expert superintendence
of their schools, and at less expense
than under the independent plan.
This is made possible by the State aid
extended to joint school districts,
amounting to twice the sum the two
or three towns put in, to the maxi
mum of $500.
Thus, assuming that Ellsworth and
| Surry should unite, and Ellsworth
should agree to put in $500 and Surry
| 800 toward superintendent's salary,
| the State would add $50, and the
| towns would have the benefit of a
81 200 man.
We quote the above figures just by
| way of illustration as to how the thing
| would work out. The details, the d.
vision of the expense as between the
towns, and the time to be given
by the superintendent to each town,
are matters which would be worked
out by the joint experimenting school
committee which would be elected
from the towns uniting.
There is no stipulation in the law
| under which such a union is formed
as to the number of towns which may
unite, but it does provide that there
shall be not less than twenty nor
more than fifty schools in the dis
| trict The union must first be ap-
| proved by the State superintendent
| OF schools.
Not the least advantage that would
accrue to Ellsworth and Eilsworth's
schools under this system would be
the taking of schools of the city out
| of politics.
There are many details to be
worked out, conferences to be held
with selectmen Of adjoining towns, and
approval OF the State superintendent
to be obtained. The time is none
too long between now and the annual
town meeting time. 1t is pleasure
to record that, on this matter, the
present city government is in perfect
accord. Working in full harmony,
there seems nothing to prevent bring
ing this matter to the early attention
| of the neighboring towns, and tax
ing definite steps to bring the plan
before the voters.
