z II WAS not TO the interest OF Annas
J. or his machine that any violent
change in the politic cal situation Of
Judea should take place. Under the
Roman rule, by judicious system of
bribes, the power OF the priestly party
was far greater than If Herod or
son OF David reigned in Jerusalem.
Herod was too unpopular to be serious
menace to this statu quo, but as long
NJ he posed as plotting against Rome
in q secret way he could cause some
misgiyings to Annas and his group.
Once he publicly became reconciled with
the Roman ProcuratOr PLATE, his
chance to be a popular hero dwindled.
On the eve of the crucifixiOn he was
beguiled, probably by Annas, to make
that false move. lie publicly made
friends with PLATE.

DISTINCTIVE FOR MAINE.
Phrase, "The State Of" Not Applied to
Any of the Other States in Union.

There are four commonwealths in
the Union which are so designated Of
ficially, but seldom referred to in
conversation in which the name Of the
state might be used; they are Mas
sachusetts, Virginia, Pennsylvania and
Kentucky, but to Maine belongs the
distinction OF being universally re-
ferred to as 'the state Of
Strange as it may seem, that out
of total of As states but one Of
them should be spoken of invariably
as 'the state OF" No other state is
so generally spoken of in this way.
In an official way other states are
often referred to in the same man
ner but Intentionally so and with
definite purpose.
A visitor from New York return
ing to his home state would not think
of telling an inquisitor that he had
spent the summer in Maine; he would
unconsciously say 'sThe state of
Maine" which to most people seems to-
bear better Implication.
Whether the custom of speaking of
the state in this way is the result Of
long usage or whether 1t has been de-
rived from people of the state who
have Travelled abroad in other states,
the sound is most pleasing and is not
generally used in referring to any
other state.-Portland Evening Ex-
press.

Bills carrying out the plan will be
introduced simultaneously in the Sen
ate and House by Senator Jones and
Representative Green OF Massachu-
setts, chairmen, respectively, of the
merchant marine committees of the
Senate and House.
Advocates of the plan hold that the
fact that it viii not require direct

meet with more favor than former
ship subsidy schemes.
Senator Capper, chairman of the un-
official agricultural Senate bloc, after
a conference with the president to-day
said the president believed he had a
plan which would be supported by the
farmers and the country generally.

That Is Theory Of Authorities to Ac-

working on the theory that the uniden

the victim OF bootleggers' row. This
county has recently been flooded, they
say, with illicit whisiey.

failed to identify it. The victim was
well dressed and was apparently about
80 years old. There were six knife
wounds in the back, one in the neck
and an eighth on the head. All marks
Of Identification had been cut from the
clothing Money was found on his per-
son, which, the police say, dispels the
theory that robbery was the motive.
