DlSLIKED THE STRAINED AIR
Colored Domestic Entitled to Some
Consideration Seeing That She
Was SO Delicate.

A young housewife of suburban
New York, who had gone to some
trouble to get a colored woman serv-
ant from Virginia, grew quite proud
OF her new domestic after the first
months trial. Caroline was nearly
perfect. Yet not quite. Though the
house was fitted with door and win
dow screens from top to bottom, the
mistress was constantly finding flies,
bugs and the like inhabitants of the
country air on her walls and furni-
ture. Caroline professed to be as
much mystified as anybody. But
2 one morning the mistress happened
20 come upstairs at cleaning-up time
There was Caroline singing and
working away, screens on balcony
doors and windows wide open. Con-
fronted by her indignant mistress,
the paragon was visibly Disconnected.
Then her face lit up with one of
d those ear-tO-ear smiles.
~"Trufe is, Miss Martha, I can't
wu'k in dis here strained atmosphere.
j always was a pow'rful delicate
'oman."
Caroline weighed only $50 pounds.

ssent Recommended
Judge Of Probate.

The apportionment of salaries for this
office has been exceptionally perplexing.
The character of the work makes it
necessary that the judge should be an at
torney at law and even in counties where
the duties require but very little time the
fact of holding the Office necessarily de-
prives the judge of a large amount of
remunerative practice which he would
otherwise be in a position to carry on.
Moreover, after determining the sal
aries on the basis of population, valua-
ton. terms of court and the business
transacted, 1t is apparent that in some
Of the counties 1t Is the practice for the
Judge to be in attendance only on term
days and by special appointment, while
in others a practice has grown UP which
virtually has the force of law for the
judge to be continually in the probate
office. We have felt bound to conside-
these facts in making our recommend
lions which are as follows:
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-12-16

all moneys appropriated for the use OF
the district and raised by general taxa
ton shall have been exhausted. To pre-
sent the situation in concrete form, the
total amount appropriated in the
pending bill is about $11 600 ,00O Under
existing law half this sum would be
contributed by the taxpayers Of the
district and half by the Government.
Under the johnson amendment, the
district would be taxed to it's limit, at
the fixed rate of SIS a thousand, and
if $4,000 were raised from the taxpayers
this first would be expended and not
until then would the Government be
called upon to contribute the balance
All to Washinstonians
To insure that the people of Wash
ington should bear the, total expense
of maintaining a national capital, Rep
resehtatiye Prouty of Iowa, has offer
ed another amendment making the
full valuation of real estate, instead
of the present not exceeding sixty
per cent. the basis for taxation. With
this amendment in force all the
money raised by taxation in the Dis
trio under high rate and high valu-
alton would be contributed by the resi-
dents of Washington and its meagre
suburbs to provide pleasure spot for
the rest of the country. The people of
Washington have no vote. and under
the Johnson-Prouty scheme they
would have no voice whatever in the
expenditure of their own money. AS an
example of how they frequently are
called upon to suffer through con-
gressional neglect, the Western High
School burned down year ago and
not a brick has yet been laid for its
successor. Meantime pupils are dis
tributed around town in the most in
convenient manner imaginable.
Suffrage Question
The white residents of Washington
do not want local suffrage. partly be-
cause they fear negro domination, and
partly because they recognize that If
this city is to be administered as a
National Capital and developed com
mensurately with its Importance as
the chief city Of the nation, the United
States should have the right to dictate
its affairs, with due regard to the well
fare Of the inhabitants. The plan,
which has worked with perfect success
since 1878, has everything broad and
worthy to commend it and nothing
against 1t except that certain congress
men like to glory themselves at home
at the expense of the helpless residents
of the Distric of Columbia. Col. Samuel
E. Winslow of Massachusetts,, who
is member of the Committee on Dis
trlct of Columbia, always has made
stiff fight for the interests of the Dis
trict and he is doing heroic work in
opposition to the Johnson-Prouty
scheme. He deserves the support of
every member of the Massachusetts
delegation.

Cow Moose Shot at pi+.sto,

report that COW moose had been shot
at Pittston southeast of Nahumkeas

The moose had apparently been shot a

discovered and 1t lay where it fell, the
offender not even taking the trouble
to remove ! 1t. The carcass when
found was. however, partly covered
over with boughs. The meat of the
animal was spoiled but the skin was

lieve that people having business to

personal attendance of the register Of
deeds and we believe that he should be
required to be constantly In attendance
at the Office
In some cases 1t appears that regis
ter of deeds does a considerable amount
of title searching tor private individuals
for which he Is paid and the money 80
received lawfully belongs to him. We
think this practice is capable of abuse
and ought to be discontinued. We re-
commend that registers of deeds be per-
mitted to receive no compensation what
ever for any work done in connection
with the office other than the stipulated
fees which go to the county. He should
be expected to assist the public so far as
his time will admit In getting out facts
contained In the records and his time
should be so occupied in performing the
regular duties of the office that it would
not be practicable for him to act as
title searcher.
We recommend legislation requiring
registers of deeds to give their personal
attention in their office at all times and
providing that all fees charged for any
work performed in the Office by the
register or any clerk, whether it be
searching for titles, making of abstracts
or furnishing of copies, either attested or
be paid over to the county
