The Mileage Bill.

The famous mileage bill, which was in
troduced twice in the seventy sixt b legisla-
ture, vetoed by Governor Haines on its
first passage, and neither vetoed nor
signed by him after its second passage, is
now the topic OF much discussion. Maine
law provides that bill neither signed nor
vetoed after passed by both branches
within five days OF the close OF legisla-
tive session, shall become law within
three days after the next session of the
legislature convenes.
The referendum provision of Maine II ",
passed within recent years, requires that
no legislation shall become effective un-
til after ninety days elapse following the
close of the legislative session at which
the legislation is passed, unless the
emergency clause is in the bill. Governor
Haines did not veto the bill, the iegisla-
ture hsving.adjourned.b before the expira-
ton OF the five days allowed him, AID ac-
cording to one construction OF Maine law,
the mileage law went into effect at mid
night Friday. The referendum law, how
ever, apparently sets the date Of the Law q
becoming effective ahead until ninety
days after the close OF the present session
Of the seventy-seventh legislature.

SUCCESSFUL.

Induced DIR. Howard Company to
Make Special Prices.
After great deal OF effort and CORE
spondence, g. A. Parcher, the popular
druggist, has succeeded in getting the
DR.. Howard Co. to make Q special half
price Introductory offer on the regular
ffty-cent size of its celebrated specific
for the cure Of constipation and dyspepsia.
This medicine is recent discovery for
the cure of all diseases OF the stomach and
bowels. It net only gives quick relief,
but 1t makes permanent cures.
DR.. Howard's specific has been so re-
marksbiy successful in curing coRstipa-
ton, dyspepsia and all liver troubles, that
G.. A. Parcher 10 willing to return the
price paid in every case where it does not
give relief.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness, gas
on stomach, specks before the eyes, con-
stipation, and all forms of liver and stom-
sch trouble are soon cured by this scien-
tific medicine.
So great 10 the demand for this specific
that g. A. Parcher has been able to secure
only limited supply, and every one who
Ii troubled with dyspepsia, constipation
or liver trouble should call upon him at
once, or send rs cents, and get sixty doses
OF the best medicine ever made, on this
special half price offer, with his personal
guarantees to refund the money II it does
not cure.

The shipping Bill.

The administration Is meeting with
determined resistance, not confined
entirely to republicans, in its attempt
to force through the bill for the pur-
chase and operation by the govern
mont of merchant ships. President
Wilson is finding in the closing ses-
sion Of this Congress that his ferrule
has lost its terrors for many of his
unruly senators and congressman.
His power is waning.
The Boston Globe sums up the
proposition of government owner
ship of)merchant ships concisely. 1t
says:
profit. the government certainly could not do
so. When the government enters business,
1t is to render services which the public re-
quires and cannot otherwise get, and to rem
der them whatever the cost Nobody expects
government operations to be economical; il
they result in deficit, as with the postofice.
the public accepts it because the public bene-
fits by the service.
ut is highly probable that government
ships, II they were able 70 get the trade,
would handle it only at loss. But It would
not be for service rendered to the whole
people, but to the exporters and Importers;
in practice it would be taxing the whole
people for the good of part
more than this, it would force private en-
terprise out of foreign shipping instead of
drawing it in. and so would defeat its own
ends"

Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
EAST SURRY, Jan. IL, 1915.
To the Editor of The American:
am often asked what We agents for the
prevention Of cruelty to children do.
Perhaps what the two agents 1.-THE one in
Ellsworth and the one in Surry) have
done, may interest some, - we have
worked together.
We have taken one child from Els
worth, two from Eastbrook, two from
Gouidsboro and one from Bucksport, and
placed them in homes We have returned
two boys to the places from which they
ran away end came to Ellsworth : one
from Bath and one from Brunswick.
We have looked after several cases of
children not properly provided for by
their parents, and seen that their condi-
tions vera improved % to clothing, food,
shelter, cleanliness and treatment.
We have placed at Good Will Farm one
boy OF whom we are very proud, and three
girls at HaIlowell who are doing we'll.
Have had one child under the care of the
childrer's hospital at Portland.
As we begin the new year we find there
is plentiy OF work to do. Our county and
State officers have been very willing to
help in the good work, for which We feel
thankful. The State board OF charities
has been great help to as.

Legislative News of Interest to Ham
cock County Readers.
The legislature convened last Wednes-
day. The Senate organized with republic
can officers, Ira G. Hersey, OF Houlton,
being president, and the House organized
with democratic officers, Herbert w.
traitor, OF Fort Fairfield, being speaker.
!. The joint convention in the afternoon
came to deadlock on the election OF
secretary OF state, and after four ballots
without an election. Adjournment was
taken until Thursday afternoon. Four
more ballots were taken Thursday and two
Friday without a choice. Then an armts-
tice was declared, by which the con-
vention adjourned from day to day with
out quorum until Tuesday.
Thursday forenoon, with appropriate
ceremony, Oakley G. Curtis, OF Portland,
was inaugurated as governor.
When the joint convention bied
with quorum yesterday, change in the
order OF elections was made, the election
OF governors council being taken up first.
One progressive representative absented
uiuscti ifoti tue CouNOutso"s E''He 49,
democrats majority OF one, and full
democratic council was elected.
The election OF secretary OF state was
then taken up. On this ballot two pro-
gressives were absent, and John z. Bunker
was elected.
Then the progressives returned, and tied
up The election OF state treasurer, five bal
| lots being taken without choice.

missioners and county treasurer.
The financial showing is excellent,
the county finding itself with much
larger cash balance than usual. The
county commissioners are to be con-
graduated on their stewardship, and
the county treasurer on the excellent
condition in which his accounts were
submitted, and his success in showing
q clean slate in the collection OF the

The key to the deadlock at Augusta
was inserted yesterday just long
enough to let in Sdemocratic council
SO that the business of State might
not be further hindered, and John E.
Bunker, of Bar Harbor, squeezed
through the opening on the heels of
the council, and landed in the office
of secretary of state. Then the door
slammed shut again, and Eve ballots
for state treasurer were taken with
ont q choice. Mr.. Bunker's many
friends in Hancock county congratu-
late him. Even the republicans of
the county do not begrudge him the
ofiice; il . republican could not be
elected, the next best thing is

The key to the deadlock was fur
nished by twoprogressive representa-
tives who absented themselves from

With the assembling of the State
legislature at Augusta last week and
the consequent gathering of the pol
iticai- wise from all parts OF the State,
conversations naturally took q politi-
cal turn. The republicans are look
ing forward with eagerness to the
campaign OF 1915, confident of vic
tory. Col. Frederic II. Parkhurst,
of Bangor, looms big as the proba-
BILE governor OF Maine in 1916.
He has certainly earned anything he
cares to ask for of the republican
party, and he is certainly worthy the
