The surest way to kill a fanatical law
is relentlessly to enforce it. Its I'M
wisdom or injustice thus becomes man
fest. f the law decreed that muir
derer should undergo prolonged tor
ture before being electrocuted, and
such decree were carried out to the let
ter. the death penalty in Massachusetts
would be abolished tomorrow. In
some states it seems to have been re-
pealed simply to prevent the decima-
ton of voters. The instant | detect in
myself any hcmicidal tendency, | shall
take up my residence in Maine.-T. Is.
Aldrlch in the August Century.
There is food for thought in the
above paragraph. Many consider our
prohibitory law fanatical law, and the
intent to "relentlessly enforce it, may
be a move to kill it. But, leaving the
liquor law cut of the question, every
body will recognize the futility OF re-
tanning in the statutes laws that cannot
be, or that are not, enforced.

The war game began Monday, when
five war ships left Bar Harbor early in
the morning. They will represent the
enemy. Yesterday the defending fleet,
which includes the kearsarge, was to
sail. The proposition that devolves
upon the enemy is to come to anchor
age, undiscovered, within five days in a
safe harbor of some size between East
port and Cape Ann, while that of the
home squadron is to keep the enemy
from making any such successful at
tempt.
