EDITORIAL COMMENT

For accepting and printing a liquor
advertisement. the publisher of the
Bangor Commercial" has been arrest
! ed, and probably will have to pay
| $40 fine plus costs. That's the penalty
prescribed by Maine law for that par
| ticular offense. Does a Maine news
dealer selling a copy of Boston or
| New York paper that contains liquor
advertisements lay himself open to ar
rest and punishment? 1t is moot
point. The Portland Press" thinks
not, unless the news agent is also the
agent of a liquor house advertising IN
/ the paper. or unless the state can prove
| that his chief purpose has been to
| bring the advertised chances for pur-
chasing liquor to the public notice

AN ATTACK ON STEVENSON

A great many persons were very
much astonished recently to hear that
an attack had been made upon the
late Robert Louis Stevenson by w. E.
Henley. the poet, who was known as
the close friend of the famous novelist.
A stevenson cult has grown up in Eng
land which perhaps takes an extrava-
giant view of Stevenson and his work.
Yet, granting that the novelist had
been overrated in certain respects the
attack by Mr.. Henley seems none the
less useless and out of place. 1t was
in very bad taste.
Anyone who has gazed on portrait
of Stevenson, and has made himself
familiar with his work, should not
have any great difficulty of forming
a pretty good estimate of the man.
Mr.. Henley may call Stevenson vain,
egotist and one devoid of originality
but he talks merely to the detriment
of himself and not to the injury of his
old friend. who built for himself a
reputation so great that it cannot be
pulled down or ruined by any man.
Genius like that of Stevenson is
very often erratic. Those who are
brought in contact with such men, no
doubt have to bear a great deal, but
they should at the same time find much
to enjoy. Stevenson was versatile and
brilliant; he could be hard, he could
be gentle and sympathetic, he could
be sad and gay but whatever he was
his genius always shone forth in a
clear and unmistakable way. Mr.. Hen
ley cannot snuff it out, nor dim it.
