Transfer Of Officer Kane ArOuses
People of Ellsworth.
The people of Ellsworth and
neighboring towns have been pretty
thoroughly aroused by the transfer
of State Policeman Kane, and the
methods which they believed were
taken to accomplish 1t. The situa-
ton was briefly stated in an editorial
in The American last week.
Petitions bearing about 1000
names have been forwarded to Gov
ernor Brewster, asking for Kane's
reinstatement. What aroused the
people of Ellsworth was not so much
the transfer of Kane, which OF
course is entirely within the power
of Chief Field of the State police,
but the underground way it was re-
ported to have been accomplished.
Mr. Kane, believing the transfer
was due to complaints signed by a
few Ellsworth men, some Of whom
he had warned against driving their
cars while under the influence Of
liquor, handed in his resignation.
Chief Field spent the greater part
of yesterday and this forenoon in
Ellsworth investigating the matter,
and his visit has done much toward
clearing the situation. He says It
is not true that he received written
or verbal complaints from few
Ellsworth men. He had received
information that warranted investi-
cation. He was in Ellsworth
about two weeks ago, and made
some inquiries about Kane's personal
conduct. At that time he mentioned
that he intended to transfer Kane.
This information doubtless leaked
out, and some men who, for per-
sonal reasons, would be glad to see
Kane go, may have gloated over 1t
a little, or talked too much.
From this there arose misunder-
standings on both sides. Chief
Field, not understanding the basis OF
the resentment that had arisen in
Ellsworth, felt that his prerogative
as chief of the State force was being
interfered with and the morale OF
the force threatened. The people OF
Ellsworth, on the other hand. felt
that Chief Field was being used as
cat's-paw by men who had personal
reasons to fear Kane.
Chief Field yesterday repeated ms
readiness to retain Kane on the
force, but insisted that he must ac-
cept transfer. This morning he Of
fered Kane the choice Of three dit
ferent patrols that are at present
open, but MIR. Kane refused to &C
cept, feeling that full vindicat1on
could be made only by reinstatement
to his former post.

Pennington, Conn.,, Aug. 8.
To the Editor of The American:
It was with great pleasure and in
terest l read in a recent issue Of
your paper the letter Of Lyman l..
Lord to DR.. r. L. Grindle, relating
to "Uncle Tom" Smith. Being for
mer Surry girl myself, wish to add
my early remembrance of Uncle
Tom"
How clear to me Is the picture OF
Uncle Tom" and his oxen, as he
drove them, or, rather, as they drove
themselves, to and from the bay"
for he was always either far ahead
or far behind his team. holding close
communion (aloud) with himself.
recall one instance very clearly.
I had left the home of my grand
father, the late Daniel Milliken, on
my way to the Bay, when I met a
neighbor, the late Augustus MILL
ken. He said: annie, why don't
you ask Uncle Tom for rider"
Not realizing at the time that Mr..
Milliken was playing a joke on me,
when t'Uncle Tom came along with
his oxen I said: Wont you please
let me ride to the Bay with your"
can hear him now, as he replied
with dignity: II never let women or
girls ride with me! Get up, Star!
Get up, Bright"
That gave me some setback, but I
kept on and reached the Bay long
before he did. It really was sport
for me, but surely got my answer
very quickly.
Excuse me for taking your space,
but the letters recalled the old gen.
tleman to my mind so wildly that I
Just had to write this. I think 1t
beautiful to read the letters that
former friends and neighbors send
to you for publication, for your
valuable paper reaches far and near,
and Is always a welcome visitor to
US all.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING.
DIR. Freeman of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity Tells of Its Value.

DIR. Freeman Of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity Tells Of Its Value.
DR.. A. w. Freeman of Johns Hop
kins University has very ably told
OF the great value of public health
nursing, and which lines of work
give greatest returns He says:
1.-THE question Is often asked, what
Is the value of nurse to country?
The health needs of the children in
the schools form the first argument,
and these needs are very great In
deed. About one in Ave in any
county are in the schools; they are
in school long hours, mixed together
in groups; they are in the really i'm
portant stage of life-the growing
stage.
'They need, first of all. to be
taught proper habits OF health, the
need of varied foods. They need to
be watched so that their defects may
be recognized as they occur, and so
that the parents may be helped 10
have these defects corrected before
they have done permanent damage.
Bad teeth, bad tonsils, adenoids, de-
fective sight and hearing, can all be
corrected, in most cases, as soon as
they appear. If not corrected they
may blight the whole life OF the
child. There is almost no limit to
the amount of good which may be
accomplished by careful attention
to the health of the children In the
schools.
1.-THE spread OF communicable dis
eases among the school children Is
always an important concern with
the nurse.
while mortality of babies is not
usually as great in rural districts as
in cities, It is still much higher than
It should be. If there were no other
work to keep her occupied, this
would furnish far more than enough
for one nurse in any county. The
lonely farm wife, of the main road,
expecting her first baby, needs the
nurse to help her get ready for the
baby's coming, to take care OF her
during the anxious weeks Of waiting
and. most of all, when the baby
comes and afterwards.
"A real nurse, familiar with the
women of her community, helping
them in their supreme trouble, can
he of a value to a county winch no
one can measure. And the babies!
They need watchful care and atten-
ton. need it most of all when they
are we'll. The nurse can organize
consultations for the babies, where
they may be brought when we'll,
where their food and habits may be
regulated where they can be seen
by the doctor when the doctor can
be of most use to them, before they
are i'll.
.In every county there are Grip
pled children who can be helped, II
only they can be taken to the doctor
able to help them. Sometimes these
children have never been seen by
doctor. To these children the nurse
may be an angel of mercy.
1.-THE results Of the control OF
Tuberculosis which have been OBJ
tanned in the cities under conditions
so much more unfavorable tnan
those in rural districts, give an
,indication of what the value OF nurs-
ing is to the consumptive.
"These are some of the tangible
ways in which the work of a nurse
may be of value to a rural commu-
nity. One nurse can not do 1t all,
but everything she can do Is or real
constructive value.
