ANNIVERSARY OF
OVERHEAD TROLLEY SYSTEM.

May 4th marks the thirth-fourth ami
yersary of the completion of the first
commercially successful overhead trolley
system in the United States. This line
was built in Richmond, Va, by Frank j.
Sprague, and started with 13 miles of
track and an equipment of 40 cars. 1t
has been in continuous and successful
operation ever since. The original Rich
mond system was in all essential particu-
lars the overhead trolley system now in
use. Many Improvements have been
made in the construction of the motors,
the controllers, the trolleys and the vari-
Gus details of car equipment and overhead
construction, but the broad principles
have not been departed from.
Today there are 838 operating compan-
les in the United States with Al, sos m les
of trackage and more than los, 600 electric
cars. The electric railway industry re-
presents an investment of about So, ,000,-
600, 900 and pays to local communities
500, 600, 900 in taxes. From IL to Is billion
passengers are transported yearly. More
than $500 one-man cars are already in
operation, running over 220, 010, 900 miles
yearly and carrying more than a billion
passengers.

Boys and Girls Clubs.

In his quarterly report of the progress
of boys and girls club work in Maine,
conducted under the auspices Of the Collie
ge of Agriculture extension service, State
Leader, Lester H. Shibles states that the
total enrolment up to April l, was 1906
members, in comparison with 504 during
the corresponding period last year. Every
county shows an increase. Cumberland
has the largest enrolment, but Oxford,
Androscoggin and Sagadahoc counties
have made the highest percentages of
gain.
The sewing, cooking and housekeeping
and poultry projects have the largest en-
rollment, in the order named. More than
half of the increase in enrolment thus far
is in these three projects. Mr.. Shibles
credits this fine showing of early enroll
ments to three causes: Better functioning
OF Farm Bureau organization; increase in
number of standard clubs; increase in
number of field agents.

Because boy or a girl happens to be
the child Of keeper of a lighthouse on
some isolated island off the coast OF
Maine, should not deprive that child of a
common school education. The State
department tried to solve the problem by
travelling teachers, Much was accomp-
lished by the teachers who volunteered
for this arduous service, but the time at
each station was necessarily short. Now
the State has gone a step further, and
made provision by which the State, be-
ginning next fall, will pay the board of
lighthouse children on the mainland OF
island towns where they may attend
school

Practical Application OF State
primary Voting Law.

The following opinion by Attorney Gen-
eral Ransford w. Shaw will be OF partl-
culsr interest lust now, as the June pri-
mary election is so near at hand. 1t was
written in re ply to letter from Governor
Baxter and says:
"Repying to your questions about the
practical application of the primsry vot
ing law, | wish to say that several ques-
tions have been propounded but thlnk
the most of them grew out OF an applca- :
ton of Section l3, Chapter and thlnk
the following statement will cover all the
questions:
81. No voter has right to vote IN
primary election for candidates for OIL re,
excepting the candidates of his own party,
for the reason that by the provisions OF
Section 81, although the primary election
for all parties is held on one day, the elec
ton is, to all intents and purposes, an
election for each party.
"2 No one can vote in primary cleo
ton unless he is qualified voter in vot-
ing district, and has been enrolled In one
OF the political parties.
"3 A person may change his ENROLL
ment at any time according to Section 38,
but shall not vote if the enrolment has
been changed within six months prior to
the election.
~. The exception is made in the law
to cover the case of persons who have not
been enrolled in any party prior to the
election and such voters may enroll on
the day of election by signing paper
furnished by the clerk, and may vote for
the party of his choice that day, but he
must subscribe to an oath provided by
law.
IS. ANY person taxing false oath or
in any way violating the law relating to
enrolment is subject to heavy penalty,
if convicted
"6. The enro lment slips on file in the
clerks office cannot be dated back so as
to take the voters case out OF the SIX
months prohibition limit and any person
doing so, or any official doing so, contrary
to the law, is subject to heavy penalty. if
convicted.
II. The other question, Under what
cirt umstances can Democrat change his
party enrolment SO as to vote Republi-
can ii icket at the primary election, | an
swer as follows:
"That no Democratic voter can legally
take part in a Repu blican caucus, If,
however, Democrat SIX months PRIOR to
the election, has changed his enrolment
from the Democratic party to the Re-
publican party, he may vote in the he
publican primary, but he is Republican
and not Democrat when he so votes,
within the meaning of the law.
SO A Democratic voter who has not
been enrolled in any party may make
| new enrolment on election day and de-
clare himself to be a Re epubican and vote
in the primary for Republican candidates
and when he does so, he votes as a Re-
publican
80 Any person violating any of the
provisions of the primary law as set forth
in Chapter 5. and 7, of the Revised
Statutes, is subject to heavy penalties, if
convicted.
"These provisions apply only to towns
with over 1000 inhabitants and to cities
with less than SO, 000".
