Gov PowERs.AND PROHIBITION.
What He Says About the Plan of the Civic
League.

The story that the Civic League which
is now operating in Aroostook county
would present monster petition to the
executive asking him TO issue proclama-
ton directing sheriffs sand county at
torneys to enforce the law, having been
brought to Gov. Powers's attention, he
said:
"Ihere are certain contingencies that
may arise, whereby the governor after
complaint and hearing on specific
charges may remove.an officer of the exc
cutive department. of the state. So far
have received no such complaint against
any officer, either sheriff or county attor-
ney. LII any such complaint does come
before me | assure the temperance people
of the State of Maine that 1 shall en-
deavor to do my entire duty in the
premises, in so far as | ain empowered by
the statutes. Beyond doubt the liQuor
interests in the state are at the present
time too brazenly assertive. The traffic
is too open. All my sympathies are with
the prohibitory law notwithstanding this
temporary nullitcation. [ see no good
whatever in the suggested compromise
of high license. Did l know that there
would be third more drunkenness un-
der prohibition than under license sys
tenn l would still insist that Maine can
better serve the interests of temperance
by keeping rum under the law than in
having it sold according to law and made
recognized business. 1t is apparent
that the proper and the legal move needs
to be made at the present time. The
temperance people no doubt are sincere
in the matter of this petition. But I
want TO ask them and the people of the
State or Maine this question:: May there
not be othe- citizens beside the governor
of the state who have duties and respon !.
sibilities in regard to the better enforce
ment of the law2 And have those citizens
right TO call upon the governor to make
an extraordinary move in the matter mn.
til they themselves have used the weap-
ons that the law has placed in their hands
and expects them to use honestly before
they make apleals to the executive. >,

Wisely enough, the worthy priest, in hi
communication alluded scarcely at all to
the past. He rejoiced to learn that Cath

But one morning in early spring Cath
crime received letter from the priest con-

gossip, the following passage.
"I had intended, my dear child. never
to torment you with any news which
might remind you of what you suffered

''You must know then that a few days
ago, while riding at night through the

shot at by some person or persons un-

horse galloped home without him. and
his servants, taking the alarm, went out

1nsensible on the highway between New
