Caribou.
The Caribou Starch Co. would have
doubled the capacity of their mill this season,
if it had not been for the Mills bill and the
ruinous effect the bill would have upon this
important industry of Aroostook should it
become law. If this bill (Which places
everything raised by Aroostook farmers on
the free list) should be defeated, as it ought
to be, the company will build this year. If
not, there will be no need of starch factories,
as the potato and starch industry of this
county will be ruined.-The Howe mill was
shut down few days last week to make
some changes. This mill is great improve
ment over the one burned. The machinery
runs very smoothly and does excellent work
1t is lighted by electricity.

ARE THE RIGHTS LNFRINGEDq

The good natured request of Judge
Maginnis to the papers to refrain from
commenting on the Patterson trial should
be obeyed, but the chief Justice should
also remember hat the free and untram-
meled press is not to be muzzled. Cheek
= Yesterdays Suu.
So far as we have been able to observe
Judge Maginnis has never manifested
any disposition to muzzle "a free and I'M
trameled press" That he should polite
ly request that no comment be made by
the press until such time as a jury had
been secured was only natural under the
circumstances, for the difficulty Of secur-
ing al unpreiudiced Jury has been very
great. Our only regret is hat the ac-
ton of some papers seemed to render such
a course necessary THE LEADER believes
in doing its level best to uphold the rights
of the before mentioned free and I'M
trammeled press" but 1t does not believe
that those rights extend so far as the
prejudicing of murder cases that are com
ing up for trial in a regularly organized
court. The censorship OF the press has
extended wonderfully in the past lew
years and it has exercised purifying in
fuences. but for our own part we are dis
posed to leave the trial of murder cases to
court and jury. When these Instruments
OF the law manifestly fail in dispensing
justice then it is the province ofthe press,
as the mouthpieee of the people, to come
boldly out and show up their shortcom-
ings to the world.
