Ing the past year. If we take from this 10.

State are directly interested In ,our var,-

The Fee System.
There has long been feeling. on the
part OF many of our most Intelligent and
progressive citizens, that the present fee
system should be revised or modified ami
that those public officials now recefving
compensation for their services wholly oI.
partly In fees should be paid a definife and
liked salary, that the people may know ex.
actly what their servants receive
This may not be practicable In every in
stance but there certainly Is no good rea
son why any officer should receive more
than a reasonable remuneration for his SER
vices, or more than he would be maid n
employed in private business Involving
the same degree of responsibility. and re-,
Qulring similar caDaeity.
II Is undoubtedly true that many nubJic
officials who are paid by fees do not re-
ceive an excessive or unreasonable com
pensation, but even here the public inter
est would probably be best served by tbe
payment of a salary commensurate with
the service rendered.

consideration. knowing that whatever ac-
ton you may take will be dictated by n do
sire to serve the best interests of the whole
people.

The Prohibitory Law.

Intemperance Is such fruitful source
OF misery, pauperism and crime, and its
multitude OF victims Is so great a burden
upon the sober and Industrious citizen, that
1t Is the duty of government TO control
and restrict the liquor traffic in every le-
Ultimate way. BY provision Of Its consti-
tuition and by statute laws, which with
overwhelming majortties its citizens have
repeatedly sustained al the polls, the State
OF Maine stands opposed to the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors. The
deliberate adoption OF this policy by peo-
pie naturally careful and conservative in
their Judgments was the inevitable result
of moral evolution which recognized the
demoralizing and far-reaching evils of in
temperance, and sought to eradicate them
from the community; and embodied the
conviction that a traffic which took men
from the ranks of productive industry.
robbed them of their sober faculties, de-
stroyed their self-respect and made them a
burden and menace to those who had the
right to look to them for support and pro
tection--a traffic which filed the poor
houses. prisons and asylums with human
wrecks. and imposed its greatest misery
upon the Innocent and helpless--was hos
tile to the public interests and wholly con
trary to the spirit and purpose of Chris
tian civilization.
Fifty years ago. the so-called Maine
Law" prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors. was placed upon our statute books,

Of inestimable value and Importance. The
large number OF farmers Institutes. which
have been held during the past year, have
everywhere been well attended, and great
interest has been manifested In this work
by the farmers of the State, who have
given IL their cordial support. ! am per.
suaded that these meetings and the general
work OF the board. have done much to slim
ulate and encourage the ambitious and pro-
gressiye farmer by bringing to every com
munity a knowledge of the best and most
productive methods OF modern agriculture.
Maine Is just beginning to make repu-
fation for her dairy products. There are
40 creameries and IA cheese factories In
the State. utilizing the product of 10000
cows, and this represents only small part
OF the whole dairy interest.
Il Is felt by many OF our most successful
and progressive 6airymen, who appreciate
the great Importance Of this industry and
the ts-etits which would accrue to the
state 6y It's development that the work OF
the Board OF Agriculture should be still
further broadened and extended by the cree
atsea OF dairy bureau, which shall have
an executive officer whose duty 1t shall be
to attend closely 10 educational dairy
work. and to the enforcement of the law
against the sale Of Imitation dairy prod
ucts.
You viii be asked for an appropriation
for this purpose, and | am confident that a
request made In the behalf OF so important
an interest Will receive your generous con-
siderntlOu.
