deputies are entitled to fees or COM

The Prohibitory laws apply as We'll
to Augusta as to Winslow. and should
be equally as stringently enforce1 In
the one place as in the other. Some
people saysit is impossible to enforce
these laws in the cities. / say, look
at what has been done in Cumberland
during the past eighteen months. What
one sheriff has done another sheriff
can do. No law can escape Violation.
Murder, arson and robbery VIII De
committed, but we can enforce the Fro
hibitory laws just as well as we can
our laws against/other crimes.
The condition which we find today is
the enforcement of these laws in the
towns, and notification in the cities.
These conditions are intolerable and l
believe the people of our State are de-
termined to change them. AndroscoSgin
has awakened and the Republican
candidate for sheriff in Kennebec has
come out with a square declaration
that. if elected, he will enforce the
Prohibitory laws without fear or
favor"
Must we submit to the proposition
that this law is right as a law, but
should be enforced with discretion" Is
there any reason why our law should
apply to Riverside and not to Bangor?
Are we to see our children grow ur
with that disrespect for IL law which
must come from such conditions:
say, no. Just as long as those Pro
hibitory laws are on our Statute
books. they should be enforced by the
proper officers of the law. If, after
they have been Stringently enforced
throughout our State, the majority OF
the people desire to repeal them ana
substitute some other plan foi
eliminating the evils which come from
the sale of liquor, the way will be
easy. Whenever the majority of on.
people desire to change ;aw, they
can do so. There is no evidence now
of any strong desire on their part t
change these laws. There is abundant
evidence that they desire them to bt
stringently enforced in every part o
the State.
Now. the Patrons of Husbandry al
live quiet, home lives. They believe II
| the home and everything that pertain:
TO law and order. They believe in hav.
ing good, peaceful and happy con-
munities. In my judgment, they be
| lieve in the enforcement of the Pro
hibitory laws. The people are tn,
soEereigns and have the power in t:iei1
! own hands. Let us see to it that til,
| laws are enforced as they should b,
and stamp out the stigma of nullitica

Summer residents OF this is land have

OF actual warfare time is already en-
forced, has of late added to that in

down upon the military reservation and
observe from a distance the hustle of
activity within, but no near approach
to the fort is permitted. Sentinels

heavy guns on the islands are expected
TO boom frequently within the next
