WESTERN SOMERSET MUNICIPAL
COURT HEARING HELD WEDNESDAY

At the hearing before the Somerset
county delegation Wednesday afternoon
no one advocated the abolition OF the
western Somerset municipal court as pro-
posed in the bill which was the subject
of the hearing. Rep. Dutton of Bing-
ham. who introduced the measure, said
he had introduced it because it had been
advised by a number of his constituents,
but that he did not feel sure it would be
wise to do away with the court and did
not wish to appear as favoring such
move. A number Of witnesses present, In
Guiding the three Somerset county COM
missioners, said that they had favored
the abolition Of the court when first they
heard OF the proposed action, but upon
looking into the record of the court were
inclined to believe that 1t was best to
retain it.
In answer to a question by another
member Of the delegation, Rep. Dutton
said he believed ex-senator Donigan OF
Bingham had first mentioned the propo-
sition to him and Senator Colby also
thought his first knowledge Of the pro-
posal to abolish the court came from the
same soutce.

REV. THOMAS BURGESS
SPEAKS AT ST. MARKS

Rev. Thomas Burgess, pastor Of St
Earnabas Episcopal church, was the
speaker. Wednesday afternoon, at the
third of the series of Lenten lectures
liz the parish hall of St. Marks
church. Russia, and Her Religion"
vas the Interesting subject around
which he wove very scholarly ana
entertaining discourse. AS its title
would suggest. the lecture followed
along the broad and general lines OF
history, and told how Russia with an
area larger than North America, an.
with population almost twice as
great as the United States did not be-
gin to become ChristianiZed until 1000.
Mr.. Burgess said that Russia Is the
most religious nation in the world:
and that It's religion is divided into
two classes, the Roman Catholics and
the Protestants. In Russia there are
more than one half Of all the pro-
fessed Christians on the globe. There
is some oppression, and the Car uses
the church for political purposes. In
the early times when Russia was a
young nation her religion was sadly
neglected in spite Of her great zeal
that was handicapped by oppression.
At the present time. according to Mr..
Burgess, the churches are all under
Orthodox bishops. with no one sin
gle head Of the church. The three
classes Of church officers are bishops,
priests. and deacons. The Orthodoxy
OF the Russians is the absolute ad-
herence to unchanging doctrines, the
.contuity OF the orders. the mutual
independence, yet full Communion, Of

In the Senate

The consideration of the reports of
the committee on judiciary relating to
the Nassa chusetts ballot law, social
ed, was reaSsiencd to March IL, when
the documents were taken from the
table by assignment Wednesday morn
ing. The resolve in favor of the town
Of Canton to purchase its toll bridge
was finally passed without dissent
and goes to Governor Curtis Tor his
signature. Though no definite agree
ment is understood to exist between
the Governor and the legislative inter
ests which were aroused to hostilities
by his vetoes of highway and bridge
resolves, the smoke of the little pat
ties that followed his vetoes seems to
have cleared away more or less sat
isfactorily and il IS not expected that
he will veto the Canton resolve.
Salary Of Legislators
The opposition to the measure rails
ing the salary of legislators did not
succeed. Senator Walker of Somerset
declared that the present salary ar
rangement is satisfactory and said
there We're many men in Maine who
would be only too glad to hold the
highest legislative offices at the
present salary. In regard to the sec
tons which raise the salary Of other
governmental offices, he suggested
that inasmuch as it is now frequently
proposed to abolish the Council it is
hardly wise to raise the salaries of
the members at this time. Senator
Roynton thought Senator Walker had
changed his position in marked de-
gree since the discussion of the coun-
ty officials salary measures He said
that large proportion of the legislat-
ors give their time and at the close
Of the session go home even poorer.
and not half Of them receive enough
TO cover their expenses. Only four
senators voted to sustain Senator
Walkers motion to indefinitely post
pone action on the bill; Is voted
against it. The bill was passed to be
engrossed.
