The Bucksport Herald is publishing
series of ''Oldhaven Sketches and
they are very entertaining reading. The
editors and publishers of country newspa-
pers will appreciate the sketch on our 9th
page, and while to the public in general
it may SAVIOR of exaggeration it really falls
far short of the truth. If a local news
paper were to publish one -half of the true
stories that come to the editor every week
the result would be social earthquake
and the hair of the community would
stand on end. If it turned a search light
upon those holding official positions a
large per centage would tremble in their
shoes. But rarely, if ever, does the coun-
try editor rebel as did editor Stebbins OF
the Oldhaven Oracle. Calloused by the
chronic ingratitude ard extreme selfish
ness of those from whom better things
might be expected, he pursues the even
tenor of bis way, mindful ever of the good
of the entire community and doing all in
his power to promote its welfare. Hun
dredS of dollars worth of advertising in
form of free reading notices-advertising
that cannot be bought-are given to indi-
viduals and corporations who may not
even subscribe for the paper, simply be-
cause they employ more or less people
and are thus factor in the town S pros
perity. There is really no good excuse
for aiding mighty small men to get their
noses into the public crib, especially
when their names are not to be found on
the subscription list Of their party paper,
but which, for party reasons, finds it nee
essary to support them. But unless we
mistake the signs of the times the day is
not far distant when there will be
change. when ''the smallest worm will
turn, being trodden on The result may
not take the sudden and aggressive form
adopted by editor Stebbins of the Oracle,
but the public will be treated to some
plain, wholesome truths and the majority
of the people will relish them

Those who knew Captain Hollis H
coy discredit he story that he left port
with the steamer Portland in violation of
orders. They say he was not that kind Of
a man. If instructed to remain in port
he would unquestionably have done so.
1t can be seen how the steamship com
pany might attempt to escape responsible
ty by placing it upon one who cannot tes-
tify in his own behalf, but shared the
fate of his passengers and crew, victims of
the merciless waves. On this point the
Boston Evening Traveller says:
The suspicious haste with which the
officials of the company, as soon as the
disaster was known, promulgated the
fact that they had ordered Capt Blanch-
ard not to sail and the eagerness which
they betrayed to place the entire blame
could not speak for himself, is at least
needful of explanation.
There seems to be, in whatever way the
matter may be looked at, no possible ex-
cuse for the company. If the company
or its representatives had the authority
to stop Capt. Blanchard and compel him
to obey orders, that should have been
done.
If the discipline of the company and its
employees was in such condition that
the company was not able to enforce its
orders, then again the company is tc
blame. If, as is not entirely impossible,
Capt. Blanchard never received those or
ders to remain in port, still again the
company is responsible.
Admitting that Capt. Blanchard as 9
seaman should not have sailed Saturday
night, whatever personal responsibility
rests upon him, is thrown back upon the
company.
