The Pattison Presidential wave
has got as far as Savannah in the
South, and in spite of the average
temperature down there appears to
have got something like a chill The
Savannah Morning Ne,es discusses
the matter with pretty straight
face, but it is discouraging to find
it agreeing with so many other
Democratic newspapers that Cover
nor Pattison really has no show of
getting the nomination because he
could not carry Pennsylvania in a
national contest. This our Savannah
contemporary thinks will cause his
name to be stricken from the list of
available candidates, because it
would be folly to nominate man
who could not carry his own State
This is what the New York Demo-
Gratis who are opposed to Cleveland
think, but as long as Cleveland, who
can't carry New York, remains in
the list, Pattison who can't carry
Pennsylvania, will not be disposed
to stand aside. We are glad to see
the Pattison discussion spreading.

THE LAWS ENFORCEMENT.
What Dealers In the Ardent Must
Carefully Consider.

Sheriff Cram says that 1t Is his duty to en-
force the prohibitory law the same as any
other law. His officers will investigate
complaints, liquors will be seized If found,
the parties arrested and brought into court
with the evidence. There his duties will end
in each case. What disposition will be made
of them will depend on the court. He, the
sheriff, is not judicial but an executive off,
Ger.
1t has been the custom In the past In many
cases for the officer after making the seizure
to allow the offender to 60 on his. or her,
own recognizance, on promise to appear In
court the next morning. This proceeding is
contrary to law. The officers who follow
this course are not only liable to lose their
prisoner but they are. by law, subject to in
dictment In the future every offender ar
rested will be required to give bail like any
other prisoner before he Is released from ar
rest.
We understand that no distinction will be
made in these endorsements of the law.
From the highest to the lowest. If man en-
cages In illegal business, ali must stand on
the same footing. Any ''letting up'' or "let.
ting off" must come from the judicial au-
thorities. The sheriff has no option in these
cases.
The sheriffs were on the war path again
yesterday and Centre street and the neigh
boring region were In high state Of excite
ment. At No. 124. where the seizures were
made Saturday morning, the officers, after
considerable hunting about in dark and un-
canny corners. succeeded In bringing to
light half dozen bottles or SO of whiskey
and jug or two Of the same stuff While
the search was going ON the crowd outside,
although making no demonstrations, was
quite free in expressing its opinions.
Cady's place, on the corner of Fore and
Cent? Q streets. was given brief call, and
the officers bore away barrel Of ale, severa
bottles of ale and whiskey, one or two jug:
and sprinkler as trophies. Mr.. Cady was
searching yesterday afternoon for bonds
| men.
A seizure was made by the sheriffs in tie
afternoon at saloon on Commercial street
| near State street. 1a5a

The funeral Of the late John S. Tenant,
who died last Saturday from injuries re-

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

f1.e aceatke, today
Is likely to be
stormy.
PORTLAND, JAN. 27. 1921.
I is with a view to
L making our Linens
department the most
complete one of its kind
IN town, and insuring its
success from the outset,
that we have extended the
selling space to twice its
former size and added COM
plete new lines of Damasks,
Napkins, Cloths, Matched
Sets, Towels and Crashes.
We have chosen a time
when you are naturally in
terested in merchandise of
this sort, and the most in
clined to give the subject
of Linens thoughtful con-
sideration. 1t is also the
season of the year when
you are likely to be the
most critical and disposed
to make careful compari-
sons. Added to this is the
general notion that the
new tariff has sent the
prices of all kinds of house
keeping Linens way up out
of the reach of modest
purses.
We shall try to convince
you that the line we are
opening this morning not
only contains a larger pro-
portion of the choicer and
more worthy of the newest
ideas in Table Nappery
than you are accustomed to
seeing here, but that the
b27ces a0eye Meier more in
your Ja0or.
To enumerate the bar
gains would be to cata-
logue the stock, and de-
scription means nothing
till you've seen the goods.
A "look through our Of
ferings will bring you
quicker to our way Of
thinking than columns Of
advertising - and that is
what we hope you'll give
to the Linens department
to-day.

Alleged MIsstatemen. Corrected.

10 the Editor OF the Press:
Since the APPEARANCE quite recently in the
columns Of the PRESS of the letter of Mrs.
j. Ellen Foster to Neal Dow, have been
frequently asked why Ibid not in defence of
the society which / represent, make reply to
the attacks concerning that society. an
swer, do not think the interests of the I'm
ion would be advanced by my holding con-
troversy with one. who went out from
us because not of u.s." and moreover,
l consider Neal Dow competent to reply to
anything addressed to him did he deem it
advisable. But friends of Horace Waters of
New York city, man who is well known in
religious and temperance circles, (contribu-
ting generously to help the missionary work
of the Baptist society In this and other
states) have requested me to correct her
statement concerning him. When MIR. Wat
ers read 1t he said:
1t Is false, / never intimated such a thing to
Mrs. Foster. There is't a word of truth In the
statement.
Trusting you will not misunderstood the
spirit In which offer this, and thanking you
for many fav0rs 10 the past, ! am
Most respectfully yours,
