 The baseball enthusiasts turned ou: in goodly numbers yesterday to witnesz the game between New Haven and the Boston American league team on the Savin Rock grounds. The enthusiasm was of the old time variety in the first inning when New Haven scored two runs after the Boston team had scored but one. The second and third innings netted no score for either side. In the fourth the visitors sent two men over the plate. placing the score 8 to 2 against New Haven. Boston increased it's lead in the fifth by tallying another run, making the score to 2.

 The features Of the game were Fitz- matrices great running catch in center field and Ahearn's throw from left field to home plate, cutting off run by only a few inches.

Serious Defect in One Law.

1t has been discovered since the Legis-
lature adjourned that one law, at least,
which was passed during the session is
defective. 1t was an amendment to Sec
ton 80 of chapter y of the Revised
Statutes, relating to intoxicating liquors.
The section read as follows -
mo person shall deposit or have 10
his possession Intoxicating liquors with
intent to sell the same in the State in
violation of the law, or with intent that
the same shall be sold by any person, or
to aid or assist any person In such sale"
The intention was TO have this section
amended by adding these words: "Who-
ever violates this section shall be fined
800 and costs or be imprisoned 60
days" But by some sort of means un-
known to the authorities at the Capitol
the section was amended so as to read
as follows
"Section So. Whoever shall deposit or
have in his possession Intoxicating Ii
quors with intent to sell the same in the
State in violation of law, or with intent
that same shall be sold by any person, or
To aid or assist any person in such sale.
Whoever violates this section shall BE-
fined one hundred dollars and costs or be
imprisoned sixty days.
1t will be seen that by substituting the
word whoever" for the words "no per-
SON. in the beginning of the amended
section the prohibitive clause was ami
hilated, thus making the law imperative
and defective. The matter has been
more or less discussed by members Of
the court and by lawyers generally in
Augusta and the universal verdict is IN t
fatal mistake has been made, which
cannot be remedied before September
In the meantime it is contended by other
lawyers that even though this particular
section may be defective the fact will
not justify persons in keeping liquor for
unlawful sale; for section 40 of the same
chapter still contains sufficient power to
search persons ard premises and author.

And still another law, passed by the
Legislature In the closing hours of the
session, has been found to contain flaws
of considerable import to many interest

Legislature to amend the law of 1887 as
amended in 1899, which provides for the
burial of soldiers of the rebellion and OF
the recent war with Spain so that wild.

at the States expense. But, In drafting

Our Game Laws.

The Agricultural editor of the Lewis
ton journal sounds a warning signal in
regard to the Maine game laws, taking
DR.. Geo. M. Twitehell's remarks at the
Androscoggin Pomona Grange as text.
The theory advanced is that as admins.
tered the game laws of Maine are inim.
zeal to the farming interests of the state
by the destruction of crops, and the
northern part of the state is fast being
turned into rich mans game preserve
We quote from the Journal
1.-THE more that wild animals are pro-
tected the more rapidly will they in
crease. AS the farmers crops are de
stroyed he soon becomes discouraged
and gives up their cultivation. This
movement has been steadily going on for
several years, and the laws fastened
upon our statutes by the Legislature
that has just closed will only hasten the
inevitable. Instead of listening TO the
demands and protests of our agricultural
classes the politicians have taken coun-
sci wholly of the great railroad corpora
tions and the rich sportsmen from other
states who are anxious to make Maine
their future Playground
The injury of crops by big game is
undoubtedly something of an item; just
the extent of it we have not clear idea
of. One thing is clear to our judgment.
The law protecting big game should not
hold when said game invades the prem
ises of the farmer. 1t should be lifted
so that the owner or tiller of the soil
could shoot the trespassing wild animal
any time of day or night or any time of
the year, at sight. 1t is better that wild
animals should be sacrificed than that
hard earned property should be de-
stroved.

Putting an End to Prosperity

You can, of course, put an end to the
prosperity of the trusts by putting an
end to the prosperity of the nation; but
the price for such action seems high.
The alternative is to do exactly what
has been done during the life of the Con-
gress which has just closed-that is, to
endeavor, not to destroy corporations
but to regulate them with view of do
ing away with whatever is of evil In
them and of making them subserYe the
public use. The law ia not to be admin
istered in the interest of the poor man
as such, nor yet in the interest of the
rich man as such, but in the interest OF
the law-abiding man, rich or poor. We
are no more against organizations oil
capital than against organizations OF
labor. We welcome both, demanding
only that each shall do right and shall
remember its duty to the republic. such
course we consider not merely bene.
fit to the poor man, but benefit to the
rich man. We do not man an injustice
when we require him to obey the law.
On the contrary, II he Is man whose
safety and wel-being depend In Pc
culiar degree upon the existence Of the
spirit of law and order, we are rendering
him the greatest service when we require
him to be himself an exemplar Of that
spirit. Roosevelt.

The Monroe Doctrine.

President Roosevelts definition of the
Monroe doctrine as not only forbidding
foreign acquisition of territory in the
Western Hemisphere, but the aequisi-
ton, as well, of a control which would
in effect be equal to territorial aggran-
dizement, will doubtless cause renewed
assaults on American utterance in
question.
The Impotence and resentment with
which the land-hungry European pow.
ers contemplate the Monroe doctrine is
not likely TO be diminished by Mr..
Roosevelt's Chicago speech. Ii will be
seen that American insistence upon Il
European policy of Northumberland in
the affairs of this half of the world is
resolute, and that it gains strength with
the passing of years President Roose-
welt correctly voices American public
sentiment in this matter.
| AS the President himself pointed out,
1t was this same spirit which animated
the government when it insisted that the
building of great isthman canal should
be an exclusively American undertaking,
and that the canal should be under
American control. Much of the OPP
position to this enterprise and many of
! the difficulties encountered thus far bave
been due to European hostility. The
| powers recognize the great tactical i'm
portance of the proposed Panama Canal.
and at least one or two OF the European
governments bitterly resent the thought
of American control, but they are help,
less to prevent such things unless, per.
haps, by resort to arms. And for this
they are not yet ready,
1t may be taken for granted that
President Roosevelt deliberately chose
the Monroe doctrine us his theme at the
outset of his Western tour because he
believes that peculiar necessity exists
at the present time for a full American
understanding of the correct interpre.
tation of that doctrine. Also, without
question, the President has specia
reason to realizs that the American
attitude on this issue should be
distinctly impressed upon the European
mind. He WAS speaking to the people
of two hemispheres when he so ca e.
fully expounded the meaning of thu
Monroe doctrine In his Chicago address.
