Technicality and Progress.

'Technicalities are brakes on the wheels OF
progress" said a speaker at the opening dinner
at the Hotel Fontenelle, and went on, "unfor-
tunately our courts are most diligent in apply
ing the brakes" This remark did not fall with
as much force as though IL had been uttered
under different circumstances, but Il is. never
theless. fraught with truth and Importance
Technicalities have been magnified by the
courts into obstacles that not only retard. but
absolutely prevent progress II is not desiF-
able that precedent be set aside, or that due or
der be ignored. to permit the forwarding Of any
plan. because real progress must be made in
orderly fashion Yet Il would be we'll for courts
and iaymen alike II much OF the purely technical
could be eliminated, and little more OF real
progress injected into the processes whereby
our laws are tried and determined

NORTHPORT

Northport CampsroQnd. Me-. July
3o.-A few years ago there was some
little agitation in the summer colony
here owing to the miscarriage Of the
mails. Letters directed to Northport
went to Saturday Cove, the real
Northport postohhce. where they were
frequently delayed az the postmaster
had no way Of knowing whether the
summer people were stopping on the
campground at Temple Heights,
Northport, or at Saturday Cove. AZ
ter considerable discussion pro and
con, it was decided to change the
name Of the campground to Bayside.
This looked all right but after It was
done. 1t was found to be more con-
fusing than ever, for unless letters
were addressed Bayside. Waldo coun-
ty. they invariably went to- Bayside,
Hancock county. This was worse than
going to Saturday Cove for it took
longer to set the letters back. At the
organization meeting Of the Northrbrt
village Corporation, which will be held
early next week, q movement will be
made to change the post ONCE ad
dress once more. This time Northport
Harbor IL suggested And seems like q
splendid solution to the problem and
ono wonders It was not thought OF in
the nrht place. 4

RUNAWAY LUCKY FOR
ALL BUT AUTOMOBILES

About 130 O'Clock Friday afternoon the
Gardiner Bottling Cos. wagon went
crashing down Rines hill and along Wa
a horse entirely uncontrolled. The driver
kept his seat but could not pull doun
the wildly racing animal which had
taken fright. Shopkeepers on Water
street between the depot and the post
Office saw the horse race past drawing
the wagon heavily loaded With cases of
bottles and ran into the street to see the
finish of the runaway.
The lower street was fort lnately al
most free from traffic, but as the runa-
way rumbled past the Kennenec Savings
Bank a carriage coming around from he
north of the Opera house was stopped
Just in time to escape collision. Farther
up the street automobiles and wagons
were in motion and trolley cars were
standing, and the driver decided to try
stonewall as check, since his best IT,
forts with the reins were no! Needed
The horse was pulled around so that he
ran just to the right of the drinking
fountain and across the square to the
Augusta Trust Cos. offices.
About midway of the rig Plate glass
window on the south side CT the Aug lsta
Trust Co. the animal decided to stop, hut
not until he had hurtled across the side.
walk and against the iron railing that
runs across the windows. A solid bit OF
masonry aided somewhat in checking
further progress. Except for the rail-
ing, however. the horse would doubtless
have crashed through the windows and
deposited the bottles in the bank. The
driver remained upon the seat unframed
and the horse showed So sign of injury.
A thill was broken when the wagon ar
rived upon the sidewalk and after the
front wheels had jumped upon the con-
crete the back wheels Jared against the
curb heavily weighted and damage re-
suited to them.
Very lucky for the horse, driver, wa
gon and bottles was the result VI the
runaway; also very lucky for a number
of yards of plate glass. Most disastrous
was the result of the accident for a
seven-passenger automobile owned by a
Hallowell gentleman. The car came
around the corner at a most inopportune
Tune and one OF the big tires ran upon
one of two or three bottles which fell
from the load and broke on the pave
ment. The automobilist must have been
gifted with sunny disposition else the
windows or something would have been
broken about the time the air wheezed
out of the tire. The driver OF the run
away horse was called upon to sweep

REJECT PLANS FOR
NEW POWNAL BUILDING

Announcement was made Friday
forenoon that the Governor and Coun-
Gil had decided to reject plans drawn
by Architect Harry S. Coombs Of Lew
iston for the new central building at
the Maine Home for Feeble Minded
at Pownal.
Whether Mr. Coombs drew these
plans on his own initiative or whether
they were authorized by the trustees
of the institution is not known, but
it is the opinion Of the Governor and
Council that the building designed by
Mr.. Coombs would not be the most
efficient and economical that could be
secured. and for this reason they have
turned down the proposition.
Announcement was also made that
by the $4,000 granted the last Legis-
lature for a central kitchen. bakery
and dining room at the institution
would be used toward the construc-
ton of building much simpler in
design than Mr. Coombs intended. In
other words. it is the intention to
have a fiat roof, with the drainage to-
ward the center instead of having
a. slate roof with gable, as had been
designed and as is the case with three
of the other buildings now at the
grounds.
Mr.. Coombs designed the present
structures and it was his intention to
make other buildings conform to the
same general style Of architecture.

State HOUSE
Benevolent and Charitable Soci-
cites Should Take Note of the
Law Relating to Their Work
New Corporations

One of the laws passed by the last
Legislature, which is destined to have
more far-reaching and beneficent eff
feet that many realize, is Chapter 9,
an act to lessen frauds in the name Of
charity. This law was recommended
both by Governor Curtis in his inaug-
ural address and by the State Board of
Charities and Corrections in it's an
nual report, and provides that it shall
be unlawful for any person, firm, as
ISOLATION or corporation to solicit
funds for charitable or benevolent pur-
pose, outside of the municipality where
the person resides OF the association
has it's place of business, without Ii
cense from the State Board Of Char
tiles and Corrections, which license
shall be granted by the said board
whenever it shall be shown to their
satisfaction that the person or organ
izat!on requesting the license is rep
utable and responsible and has suit
able facilities for applying the funds
for the purpose for which they are to
be solicited, and that the records OF
such funds and the purposes for which
they are used will be properly and ac-
curately kept. The license is to be is
sued for a term of one year, without
fee or charge, but may be revoked by
the board whenever in it's discretion it
seems for the best interest of the pub
lie to do so.
IKE law does not apply to institu-
lions which are already under the SUI
pervision of the State board by reason
of the fact that they are receiving pub
lie appropriations
The board has not, as yet, received
many applications for licenses for this
purpose, although it is not doubted
that there will be a good many appli-
cations when the provisions Of the law
become generally known, especially as
cases which have already arisen con-
corning whigh the board has found it
advisable to secure the opinion of the
attorney general make it evident that
the word benevolent" in a legal sense
has a broad meaning.
One of the subjects under discussion
at the National Conference Of Charities
and Corrections in Baltimore, few
weeks ago, was the large number OF
charitable corporations which have
been authorized to do business by the
various states, of whose activities there
is little or no record. The law in ques-
ton will do much to initiate proper
records where the activity of the cor
porat ton is more than local. and not
only that, it is broad enough to cover
and does cover voluntary associations,
partnerships and individuals as well.
1t may we'll be classed as advanced
legislation, supplementing the growing
work of charity endorsement commit
tees of Chambers of Commerce in their
local fields.
One prominent State official who re-
ceived a request to contribute to a
charity in another state, a few days
ago, invited the attention of the So
licitor to the provisions of the recent
Maine law. The State board will be
very glad to answer questions as. to
whether or not license has been
granted to any particular organization,
or to receive information as to solic-
itinS which is being done in violation
of this law.
