We think there will be few who will
sympathize with Yalos ultimatum that
unless Harvard retracts certain statements
about the smuggling done by Capt. Hinkey
Of the Yale football team, Yale will not
play with Harvard. The record Of Capt.
Hinkey. unless all reports have been gross
Misrepresentation. has not been conduc-
I've to respectable athletics. Kicking a
member Of his own team, which Capt
Hinkey is reported to have DONE and other
acts indicating innate brutality are not
excusable. The support of such football
player, however successful he may be in
winning victories, Is not creditable to the
Yale alumni. We fail to see how Harvard
can apologize honorably.

lions. II his frank and positive way of
stating them sometimes aroused antago-

of devoted friends, who We're loyal to him.
as he was to them The friendship of
such a manly nature MS his was one to be
cherished He was never q time server,
or trimmer He scorned hypocrisy In
all its forms. Men always knew where
to find him. for he was always honestly
outspoken. His word was as good rs his
bond He was not man to desert his
friends in times of adversity--indeed it
was then that his loyal nature shone to
most advantage. His manner was direct
and often blunt but those who knew him
never failed to appreciate him. He was
all his life tirelcss worker, and even fail
ing health did not take him from his ac-
customed tasks.
No man had q greater love for the State
OF Maine than he. aud none have con-
tribuesd In greater degree to It's material

Referring to newspaper criticism of
public officials Judge Walton in his
charge to the jury in the O'Rourke-S Sun
libel suit, said: 1.-THE people of our towns
and cities have a right to know how their
municipal affairs are being conducted,
and they have right to know how the du-
ties of their officers are being performed
and it is one of the privileges of news
papers to give the people this information
and if the information, so given, is true,
or if the publishers believe it to be true,
and have a reasonable and probable cause
for so believing, the law protects them.
All public officials are amenable to pub
lie criticism, and if the criticisms are
sometimes harsh and unjust, still, If
honestly made, without malice in the full
belief that they are true, and upon such
information as to create probable cause
for such belief, they must be borne by the
officers criticised rs one of the inconven-
fences attending the holding of public
office. The law affords them no redress
But do not mean by this that falsehoods
may be maliciously and knowingly pub
Iished concerning the conduct of public
officers with impunity. Such publica-
tions are not privileged, and the editors
and publishers of them may be held re-
sponsible in damages to the officers thus
injured. That is, if the publications are
false and malicious and libelous, and
known to the publishers to be false, the
law makes them responsible to injured
parties for the damages they have there
fore sustained.

teriously lost it few months ago and
was rejoiced to recover her property
The local reporter declares that when the
watch was wound up it licked away as
merrily as if there weren't a matchmaker

these stories about watches alternating
in mud without injury to their works,
what need there is of watch cleaning
after all.
In 1880, at the organization of the
Maine Legislature, man was elected
president of the Senate by his political
opponents on purpose to force him to be-
come acting governor, and thus oblige
him to give up his vote in the Senate,
which was tied, 8 to s. BY this manOu
vre they secured the election Of their
man, Jonathan G. Hunton, as Governor
of Maine If Elder Hall. thus made act
ing Governor In spite of himself, had
adopted the Delaware tactics, and skipped
back and forth from the Governors
chair to that Of the president of the Sen
ate he might have thwarted the scheme
of the anti jackson men. AS it was,
Hall at first refused to act as Governor,
feeling that he was moro needed in the
Senate, and for fortnight in spite of all
protests voted so as to keep up the dead
lock. But the supreme court was called
upon to decide the case. and required Hall
to act as Governor until the result of the
gubernatorial election of 1929 had been
ascertained. Hunton was declared elected,
but did not take his seat at once, as his
party wished to keep Hall out of the Sen
ate until some other things were decided
without his vote. Hall forced Hunton to
come forward and relieve him, by begin
ming to make important appointments Of
sheriffs, etc. So far rs this Maine prece-
dent touches the Delaware case it favors
the Republican contention that a man
cannot be Governor and senator at the
same time, says the Portland Transcript

former 80 years old and the latter 10,
sons of Mr. Daniel Tyler, of lower Fair
fax county, were drowned in Pohick
creek, near Accotink, about nine o'clock

recently been cutting wood, during
which time they had set rabbit gums in
the woods. Yesterday morning they
started out for the purpose of examin-
ing their traps and undertook to skate
across the creek to them. The older
brother was in the lead and before he
was aware of its existence he ran into
an air hole. The younger brother was
but q few feet behind him, and before
he could stop he, too, ran into the
opening. Both men cried for help, but
before assistance could reach them both
were drowned. The bodies were sub
sequently recovered, being found under
the ice in almost standing position 8
few feet from where they broke through
the ice. The older brother leaves wife
