One of the worst effects of such raids
as that above referred to is that it tends
to weaken the prohibitory law in the es-
timation of the people. When people
see a law that has been violated day after
day for years with no i'll consequences to
the offenders, suddenly made use of to
harass persons against whom nothing
better than technical evidence exists they
are very liable to come to the conclusion
that such law is more an engine OF per-
secution than of justice. A great deal
of the prejudice existing against the law
today arises from just such performance
es as these-from spurts of enforcement
followed by long periods Of apathy in
which men could violate the law with
impunity.

While there was urgent need of some
action against the liquor sellers in Ban
gor unless the laws of the state were to
become subject of ridicule, we do not
think the method of the present raid is
to be commended, AS we understand
the facts every person in Bangor who has
taken out revenue license from the
government has been indicted, on the
strength of that license alone, without
any other testimony. Now while it may
be true that an apothecary who has
liquors simply for the compromising of
medicines does not need a license, it is
undoubtedly a fact that many apotheca-
ries who have had no intention of break
inc the state law have taken out such a
license. Therefore to indict everybody
who has taken out revenue license.
simply because he has done SO, is likely
to bring into court some men who have
not broken the state law and never in
tended to. Of course it may be replied
that these men can easily show their in
nocence, but Indictment itself carries
with it certain amount of disgrace and
puts the subject of it to considerable ex-
pense and trouble. If the officers of the
law in Bangor had done their duty their
would be no need Of adopting this
method of prosecution. They would
have proof of illegal sales outside of
the mere presumptive evidence of a
revenue license, and the grand jury could
have proceeded on something better than
guess work and inference.

GAMBLING IN SPECULATION.

The Supreme court of Pennsylvania has been dealing with the old question, is mar gin speculation gamblings Suit was brought in the court below to recover money left with broker as margin on stock speculs- ton. The defense was that the transac- tion was gambling one and therefore the plaintiff had no remedy at law. In due course the case reached the Supreme court, which decides that margin speculstions are not necessarily gambling transactions. If one buys stock from A, says the court, and borrows the money from to pay for it, there is no element of gambling in the op- eration, though he pledged the stock with B as security for the money. So if, in stead of borrowing the money from B, third person, he borrows it from A, or, in the language of the brokers, procures A "to carry" the stock for him, with or without margins, the transaction is not necessarily different in character. The question of gambling turns upon the in- tention with respect to delivery. If it is not the intention that there shall be a "delivery as part of and completing the purcnase, then the transaction is mere wager on the rise and fall of prices; but if there was good faith in purchase, then the delivery might be postponed or made to depend upon future condition, and the stock carried on margin or otherwise in the meanwhile without affecting the legality of the transaction"
 The Supreme court of the United States has put the matter still more plainly. It held that a contract for the sale of an ar ticle was valid where the seller did not possess the article, or have any valid claim upon it, or any means of getting it other than to go into the market and buy it, provided there was real inten- tion on the part of the seller to deliver the article and on the part of the buyer to pay tho sfinnlatad prioa

 AGGR
 We have read carefully all the srgu- ments against the renomination of General Merwin that have been printed. The sub- stance of them all is that he hasn't been aggressive enough. It is admitted that he has lived an honest and useful life, that he is generally respected and trusted, that he deserves all the good things that have been said of him, etc., etc. But-he isn't fighter. When the contest over the State offices was in its most serious phase, and when even the wise men who are now criticising him didn't know what to do, he didn't go to Hartford with @ chip on his shoulder and long tailed coat, and invite the Demo- crats to knock off the chip or tread on the tail. He didn't think it the duty of good citizen, more regardfu1 of the peace and good order of the State than even his own rights, to indiscreetly and indiscriIninately add fire to the sufficiently heated situation. He didn't think it wise to do all that some of the fighters wanted to have him do. He didn't utter word or do an act calculated to make disturbance. He was willing to let his rights be determined by proper and orderly tribunal. Therefore he wasn't aggressive enough.
 We have no sympathy with such talk. We believe that General Merwin stands better to day with the sensible citizens of Connecticut than he womb if he had taken perniciously active and aggressive part in the contest. His course was wise, mod est and digniied. It was quite as wise, modest and dignifed as that of some of the aggressive ones who are now criticising him. There was nothing to be gained by any exhibition of personal feeling or active partisanship by him. And all such exhi- bitions made by others have not greatly helped matters. -'r.- '..'r" '-..I

A Teakettle Song.

From the Boston GiODe- What does the teakettle sing, my dearS It sings a song of you! And ever the measures bring, my dear, To my heart a comfort true.
 The teakettle sings, my wife,
 Of our early welded life, When the days were fleet And the nights were sweet,
 The teakettle sings, my wife. Full many an eve have we, my dear, Sat here with the curtains low, With a smiling babe on your knee, my dear, And the srovA in a ruddy glow.
 And the teakettle sings, my wife,
 Of our later welded life; Of the chidren's ways, In their merriest days,
 The teakettle sings, my wife. Their feet have gone from the floor, my dear, To the rough roads far away; And we hear the laugh no more, my dear, Of our children at their play.
 The teakettls sings, my wife,
 The song of our old home life; The hopes and the fears, The smiles and the tears,
 The teakettle sings, my wife. What does the teakettle sing, my dears It sings a snng of youl Of the joy and the peace that you bring, my
 dear, Of your loving heart and true.

 Of our loyal welded fife; Of fate that cheers All our later years,

Only five or six feathers of this particular kind are found on a single bird, consequently the cloak represents not only ten years' patient labor, but the plumsge of hundreds of birds. The feathers were sewed to the foundation one at @ time, and, deeply overlapping, form light, ,even sur face smooth as the birds breast. The cloak is trimmed in otter fur, which is also the product of South Dakota.

Evidently an Oil Carrier from America.
Crew Doubtless Lost.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-The British steamer
Egyptian Monarch, at this port from
New York, whence she sailed Jan. 5, re-
ports that'at o'clock on the morning of
Jan. l6, the steamer then being in lati-
tude 48 north, longitude 10 west, she
sighted a wooden vessel, apparently of
American build, on fire and burning
furiously. Judging from the dense
black smoke and the odor, Captain Irwin
came to the conclusion that the burning
vessel was laden with oil. AS the
steamer approached the burning craft it
was seen that her masts were gone. Her
bowsprit was standing and to it could
be seen clinging two men.
A lifeboat on the steamer was hastily
cleared away to rescue these two men,
but before it could hardly be lowered
the bowspri5 fell and the two men were
precipitated into the sea. Efforts were
made to find them, but they were not
afterward seen. Captain Irwin thought
it probable that the boats from the burn
ing vessel were somewhere in the
vicinity, and he therefore remained near
the spot until day broke in the hope of
picking them up. A tremendous sea
was running at the time, and it is r&re
than likely that if the crew had man
aged to get away from their vessel they
were drowned by the capsizing of the
small boats,

CHRIST is ON EARTH.
The Doctrine a Crank Is Preaching i'm
Kentucky.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 25.-There is a
religious crank in Caldwell county, this
state, who is working regular sensa-
ton in religious circles. ne IN preach
ing that Christ is on earth and that he
has been here SINCE 1874, the year of the
big drouth. He says he has not re-
vealed himself, for good and sufficient
reasons, but that he VIII make himself
known in 1914, at which time wind
ing up of all things earthly will take
place.
Strange to say, he is working up a
following who accept his insane vaga-
ries as divine truth. 1t is reported that
a Baptist clergyman-Rev. Mr.. Moore
living in the northern part of Caldwell
county has forsaken his flock and
joined the crank. The name of Spencer
McChesney, deacon in the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church, at Princeton,
is among the reported list of converts.
The man ! coming money and living
high, and is one of the same kind f
lascivious, sensual frauds that Schwein-
furth, the Illinois Christ, is.
