One would reasonably suppose that a
man who was continually and persistent
ly violating law would hesitate some.
what to invoke provisions of law to his
own advantage, but this is not the case
with one class of law breakers at least.
Liquor sellers when they are hauled up
before court, through their counsel
will invoke all the forms of law against
the State, even going to the extremes OF
teehnicalities to circumgent justice.
They utterly ignore one law, enacted
for the best good of the public, violating
it every day of their lives when they can
possibly do so, and yet are among the
most prompt to invoke any other law
form of law, ruling of court or techni-
cality of practice, to shield them from
the righteous penalties of deliberately
outraged law.
An example in this direction was
given the court house, Saturday. when q
man In FAN field arrested as a common
seller on successful search and seizure
process with good assortment of Ii
quors on hand, and having all the faeil
tiles for dealing out the "stuff," claimed
through his attorney, that it was not his
intention to sell the liquor and had the
gall, or his attorney had, to argue before
the court that it was incumbent upor
the State to prove that he did intend tt
sell those identical liquors. before hi
could be adjudged guilty. OF course t
man arraigned of any crime is entitec
to have his case defended but this de
Tense should stop short of the ridiculou:
in argument.

Report of Board Of Health.

We have received the Eleventh annual
report OF the State hoard Of health for
the years 1898 and 1899. 1t is a valuable
report containing able papers and
important statistics upon public health
and sanitation. 1t is worthy Of careful
perusal.
Aside from the usual official facts of II
somewhat technical nature, there are
monographs on Pulmonary tuberculosis
by DR.. A. G.. Young, the secretary OF
the board on Vaccination by DR.. G. d.
Smith, president of the board, and on
Disinfectants by DR.. F. n. Whittier OF
Bowdoin college. 10 his paper on tuber-
culosis DR.. Young makes a strong plea
for the establishment of State sani.
tarum for consumptives. He discards
| the theory that pulmonary tuberculosis
is of hereditary nature and then passes
on to methods of prevention and in this
| line takes up its hygienic treatment and
| the value of sanitariums. Under the
latter head he shows the value of such a
plan of treatment. DR.. Young believes
that tuberculosis is preventabe disease
and that, In the early state particularly.
it is durable. The paper is profusely
| illustrated with half-tone cuts which are
remarkably clear, and through them II
is possible to gain good idea of the
manner in which patients are living
while being cured of this disease which
is so much dreaded because by some it is
believed to be incurable.
DR.. Smith in paper treats of vaccine
virus, its modern improved methods Of
propagation and preservation, and its
protective power which should be avail
able to all classes of persons. DR..
Smith is the special committee of one
of the board on this subject and in writ.
| ing on it has the advantage of having
made careful and continued investiga-
| ton of the methods which are in use in
| the principal vaccine laboratories and by
the leading public health authorities in
this country and abroad.
A paper on the use of fOrmaldehyde as
a preventative for milk and meats closes
the volume, and In this DR.. Young shows
concusively the injury that must surely
come to the public health from such
methods.

Death of DIR. n. T. Dutton.

Rev. DR.. Newell T. Dutton of Water
vile, financial agent of Colby College

The Next National House.

Ii we were to follow out the sugges-
ton made by Mr.. Reed when ne was
Speaker, and make of our House, not a
lounging, writing aud story telling room,
but chamber devoted solely to legisla.
tive deliberations, by removing all the
desks, contracting its space, and seating
the members on benches, we could easily
have an increase of hundreds made in the
membership of the body, and at the
same time, would have public business
carried on under vastly more efficient
conditions than at present. We wonder
that at time like this, when it would
be under such circumstances, an easy
matter to have popular representation on
the basis of one for every one hundred
thousand inhabitants, ex. Speaker Reeds
practical proposal does not come up for
serious consideration. - Boston Herald.
