The Revision OF the Statutes.

a desire for revision of the Maine
statutes appears to be quite general
throughout the State. and will doubt
less claim the careful consideration of
the present Legislature. There has
been no work of revision since 1883.
and even if one should be authorized
at the present session, following the
course adopted in previous revisons
to have it in readiness for distribution
before November or December. 1903,
making period of twenty years be
tween revisions. longer than between
any two previous revisions in the his
tory of our State. The first revision of
the Maine statutes was in 1871: the
second in 1857; the third in 1871 and
the fourth and last in 1888
In his message to the Legislature
two years ago, Governor Powers
strongly recommended that n revision
be authorized at that session as an
important timely and necessary work.
The lapse of two years makes this
necessity more urgent and adds to the
continually increasing Inconvenience
which the present incomplete and mis-
people of the State, most all of whom
in the course of the year have occasion
to consult the statutes in some con-
nection. The period that has elapsed
since the last work of revision was car
ried through has been prolific of legis-
lation. and especially so in regard to
many matters closely and vitality con-
corning the interests and welfare of
the people and the duties of town Off
GERS. Take, for instance. the school
law, the tax law and the law relating
to highways and road commissioners.
So much and so many times have these
laws been amended that few town
officerS are able today to be sure of
their present Interpretation without the
assistance of a lawyer to inform them

of affairs which has, unquestionably.
given rise to no small amount of ltiga-
ton. While incidentally it may have
contributed something to the prosperity
of the legal profession, it has been at
the expense of the people in general.
There seems to be no difference of
opinion regarding the urgent need Of a
revision of the statutes, the only aues-
ton being that of expense. This at
pest could not be large compared with
the inconvenience to which the people

Certainly no one would care to claim
that the existing statutes as revised
eighteen years ago can be depended
upon today for accurate informa ton on

The present call for q revision Is
popular one and proceeds largely from
the officials in the various towns of the

II MiQht Be Worse.

The recent murder in Gorham was
certainly one awful to contemplate In
any Of its phases. That which pre-
| sents the utter disregard OF conse-
quences and absolute heartlessness,
in short the appearance OF total de-
pravity on the part OF the perpetra-
tors. is indeed phase calculated 10
excite apprehension in the minds of all
students Of penology. all who may
be thinking about the most practical
bic methods possible 10 prevent crime.
Such natures. as came uppermost in
that tragedy seem really beyond the
if human ingenuity can devise and
apply a terror adequate as a deterrent
when passion and disregard Of conse-
quences take possession Of fiendish
minds There was time when the
thought of avensing spirits haunting
those who offended them on earth was
very lively one in the Most be-
nighted and british Imagination. Ma
lures that have never quailed at
thought of physical torture have
grovelled in fear Of mysterious pun
ishments beyond the pale of this life.
Those superstitions, as they are now
frequently called. have in great degree
lost place in such minds, which. as be-
fore. remain incapable of approaching
the effects of the moral law. Is there
rational substitute taking the place
of those influences that once We're pow
erful deterrents?
While Maine has been afflicted with
such outrages so frequently as TO eX
cite more or less quite serious appre-
tension we have spared TO US
the satisfaction that not yet has the
public gone wild in the delirium of re-
venge, as was the case at Leaven
worth. To think of such a scene is of
itself appalling. The british being
charged with the crime. with the stake
for background. stands out in bold
Eelltl less llenulSll imam lft tollillu-
nifty surrounding him. piling the fires
higher drunk with blood. revealing in
an orgie that had for its lurid finale
the scramble for Charred bits of bones
to be stored away as souvenirs of n
time when civilized men reverted to
savages. How wildly in light of that
event stands out the fact demonstrated
by ages of experience that no restraint
upon crime was ever effective to best
advantage when applied other than in
a spirit of self restraint and in man
ner which might meet with the calm
ity.
