worth American advocating the re-
turn of that city to the old town
form of government. He admits
that he was in favor of the change
from the town to the city form. but
has seen the error of his way and is
emphatic in urging a return to the
old system.
AS soon as a city charter is OBJ
taiped then the political question
comes up, and when politics get
mixed up with municipal affairs,
then a town is liable not to get as
good management as though politics
were not used as an issue.
At the present time Houlton, which
is regarded as Republican town,
has three selectmen who are Demo-
Gratis, but that does not in any way
affect their efficiency and any criti-
cism that may be made is not be-
cause they are Democrats but be-
cause they may have erred in judy
ment.
Put a town meeting on a political
basis and then inefficiency is liable
to creep in. Leave it on non par
tisan basis and the best results are
obtainable.
If any Aroostook town desires to
become city that is no reason why
Houlton should become one even
though she is the largest town in the
county.

over 100000 population, still retains

Troubled by Her Dukes.

(AlDany, n. l., ArBusJ
England has other troubles besides
the cost and burden and the sorrows
directly resulting from the war IN
which she Is now engaged. 1t is
trouble inherent to the monarchial
system of government, the perpetual
ton of a royal family and the inter-
marriage of said family with the royal
families of other monarchies. the law
of entail and the other features OF
class or caste distinction originating
birth.
Its war parliament now in session
appears to have nothing more impor.
tant to claim it's attention, so Swift
MacNeil sounds very like conten-
tious and stubborn Scott Nationalist
member, proposes to interrogate the
government through its ministers and
parliamentary chieftains as to what
shall be done with British dukes who
are fighting in the ranks Of the Ger
mans.
To the casual observer It would at
first hasty glance appear as though
they had expatriated themselves, but
such is not all there is to the ques-
ton, because they are fighting where
they naturally belong, and to deter
mine what Premier Asquith should
do. il anything, q debate Ia to be had
in parliament.
The two dukes to be thus featured
are the duke of Albany (from a re-
mote predecessor in the dukedom
our own city and county Of Albany
was named some 800 years ago) and
the duke Of Cumberland. They both
are Of the British pecrage and are en-
titled to sit In the British House OF
Lords. The duke OF Albany is also
the duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
and he Is q first cousin OF King
George, the reigning monarch Of Eng
land ana Great Britain. He was born
In 1884 and educated In England and
In Germany. He holds commission
in one British and several German
regiments. His wife Is daughter OF
tho duke of Schleswig- Holstein. The
duke OF Cumberland Is q second cousin
OF King George. He was born in 1916
and is q general In the British ana a
colonel In the Austrian army He
married daughter Of King Christian
TX Of Denmark.
Both are In the field with the Ger
mans and the English parliament 10 to
soberly discuss their status and debate
a, proposition to take from them their
titles and rank in Britain and their
seats in the House Of Lords.
There is a fine field here, after the
war is over, for Gilbert and Sullivan
comic opera, wherein the mixture OF
rank and titles and allegiance to two
countries and duty to two armies
lighting each other could be fantas-
tically brought out.

BOY, 5, SAVES NINE
IN PERIL ROME IRE
David Tipp Gives Alarm Just as
Smoke Begins Supplying
Houses Occupants.

Two families of nine persons in all
ence of mind of little David Tipp. 8
years old, who gave the alarm in fire
early Saturday morning in the
apartment house at No. 447 Wash
ington street.
David, sleeping in his crib and
nearer the floor than his parents in
the same room. was not so much af-
fected by the gathering smoke ana
fumes, which stupefied the other
members of the family.
The little boy awoke in the midst
of a binding, choking vapor. with the
fire already spreading about the lower
floor. occupied by the Tipp family.
Scrambling from his small bed, he
felt his way about the room until
he found the bed in which his parents
were sleeping. He shook them, and
called at the top of his voice.
"Quick-get up!" he shouted. "Ev-
erything IS on fire, and the house is
all burning up!"
George H. Tipp. the father, was
aroused with difficulty, but took in
the situation without delay, and the
family-Mrs. Tipp, David. Harry, IL
years old, and George H. Tipp, Jr,,
1-2 years old-made their escape in
their night clothing.
After getting his family safely out
of doors, Tipp ran back and aroused
the family Of Charles NJ. May, on tha
second floor, consisting of May, his
wife and two children, Dorothy, aged
Il, and Martin. years old.
The two families were cared for at
