HOLDEN VS.. PAGE
RESCRIPT HANDED
DOWN TUESDAY

The law court Tuesday handed
down a rescript in the Somerset
county case Of Moses Holden versus
Bin w. Page, overruling the motion
and exceptions Of the defendant.
The rescript. which was drawn by
Associate Justice Luere B. Deasy Of
Bar Harbor, is as follows:
Trespass to try title to land known
as the Holden Farm, situated in Dem
nistown Plantation, County of Som
erset. The defendant has the record
title. The plaintiff claims the prop
erty by adverse possession. A YER
dict was returned for the plaintiff.
The case is brought up on motion
and exceptions.
Motion. The defendant in argu.
ment conceded the plaintiffs title to
the cleared and cultivated land.
Title to the cleared and cultivated
land. Title to about forty acres Of
wood land is involved in the hearing
before this court. The wood land is
only in small part fenced. No color
Of title under recorded deeds is
claimed. The plaintiff relies upon
Revised Statutes. Chapter ITO, Sec
ton 10, which provides in substance
that title to wood land belonging to
farm and used herewith as
wood lot. though not enclosed by
FENCES, or otherwise, may be ac-
CURED by adverse possession If the
possession has been open, notorious
and COMFORTING with the. ordinary
management Of farm. II was con-
tended that the land involved was
and is wild. land not within the con-
temptation Of the statute and that
the plaintiff was but an occasional
trespasser upon 1t.
Held:
That when land Is contiguous to
improved and cultivated land and
commonly used Herewith for fuel,
fencing. repairs or pasturinx it no
longer has the character or wild land.
That Is an action involving a claim
Of possessory title to land the fact
that taxes upon 1t have been assessed
to the occupant is immatertal: pay
ment Of taxes by him is not proof of
possession, but that such anayrnsnt
by an occupant who is not a tenant
is evidence of an adverse claim of
title;
That occasional trespasses will not
ripen into title. but when a nerson in
possession Of land pays taxes upon It
year after year. with the knowledge
OF the owner. such OCCUPANT cannot
be properly classified as an occa-
sional trespasser;
That the evidence in this case is
sufiicient to justify the verdict.

permitted the plaintiff to INTRODUCES

The evidence was admissible. To
make title by adverse possession it
is not necessary to bring home to
the owner actual knowledge Of the
possession. 1t is sufficient to prove
acts Of possession SO open and noto-
ricus that the owners knowledge Of
them and Of their adverse character
may be presumed. But actual
knowledge may be shown. When
ever it is competent to prove a fact
presumtively it may be proved di-
rectly. The evidence excepted tend
ed to prove that Clark, before his
purchase but while exploring the
land in view Of acquiring it, had ac-
tual knowledge of Holden's posses
sion and Of the adverse character Of
that possession. That knowledge
may fairly be presumed to have con-
tinued until Clark became one Of the
owners.
Motion and Exceptions overruled.

Cherish the home with infinite ten
derness. You cannot love it too much
nor give it too much time and thought.
Remember life has nothing better to
offer you; it is the climax and crown
of Gods gifts. Make every day of
life in it rich and sweet. 1t will not
last long. See to it that you plant no
seeds of bitter memory: that there
will be no neglect and harshness to
haunt you in after years. Your little
ones will die and go hence with your
words and spirits planted in their
eternal nature. Sons and daughters
will go from you into the great
world, to live as you have taught
them, to be strong or weak accord
ing to the spirit you have engrafted
upon them. How you will yearn for
them, whether living or dead. How
sweet or how bitter will be the days
when they prattled about you in the
home from which they have gone for
ever! So live with them and train
them now that when they are gone
vou and they can look back on the
past with thankfulness and not re-
gret.

INEXCUSABLE PUTTERING AND
IMPRACTICAL IDEALISM
HAS CHARACTERIZED THE
PEACE MEETING.

The first problem now is not how
to make the world an ideal place to
live in, but how to save it from
something worse than even German
imperialism. And unless bolshevism
can be definitely driven to cover in
a short time, we are likely to see the
institution of a defensive combine
tion of democracies against organ
lied anarchy. This would mean a
return to the old balance of power
system, more or less camoufaged.
Obviously the present situation is
the result of the long and inexcus-
able puttering at the peace confer.
ence. Impractical idealism and greed
have worked together to bring con-
fusion to what was to have been the
worlds greatest international and
humanitarian undertaking. Those
members of the conference who have
been responsible for the delays and
entanglements are guilty of heinous
sin against humanity, and no plea of
good intent can excuse them.
The present tendency in Europe,
and especially in Great Britain, is
to throw all the blame on President
Wilson, and the president unques-
tionably has a large and heavy re-
sponsibility in the premises. In the
pursuit of his particuler League of
Nations he has been stiff-necked and
impervious to counsel. He has car
ried matters with a high hand and
has endeavored to impose his single
will upon the world, and as long as
possible has blocked sensible, prac-
tical compromise. He has used his
strategic position as head of the one
thoroughly solvent great power in the
world to force the issue to the ut
most.
Yet all the responsibility does not
rest on the shoulders of Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Lloyd George and his British as
sociates and the Italian commits
sioners must take their portions of
the blame, for with their wide know
ledge of diplomacy and world condi-
tions, they should have presented a
firm front and kept the conference
down to earth.
Only the French representatives
can in any degree successfully plead
innocence. From the beginning Glenn
enceau and his associates have stood
for strong practical measures. Their
views regarding the league project
and the German treaty arrange
ments and the bolshevist problem
have been sound and sensible, and
if their counsel had ruled, the world
would have been immensely the
gamer.
