A Word About Enforcement.

The situation in Somerset county re-
lative to enforcement of the prohibtory
law justifles the opinions advanced time
and again by US in the columns of this
paper, viz: that there is no real difficulty
in making the law eff ,ctive If officers and
courts mean business and work in har-
money to this end A sheriff cannot do
the work alone, neither can the county
attorney. neither can the municipal court
or the supreme court, but when they all
work in concord, using iudiciously and
firmly the penalties provided for viola
tons, the work is accomplished and the
law enforced.
the Imprisonment penalty has been
used upon leading offenders rs well Ms
upon those not so prominent, but this
has been done in cases where violations
have been persistently continued, and,
"a rule commitments have been
made only upon mittimuses suspended
in previous cases, upon express promise
or explicit understanding that no further
violations should occur, and where these
promises have not been kept. As we
understand it those, who have served or
are serving Jail sentences have themselves
only to blame for il. The courts could
with self respect do nothing but order
the commitments 10 such cases.
When Sheriff Lang was elected by the
citzans of Somerset county we stated we
should stand by him in enforcement Of
law Il is matter OF simple Justice to
him to say that he has done his work
with fidelity and urfl nehing determine
ton and has been IF ctively sustained in
it by County Attorney Cover and the
municipal and supreme courts. Skowhe-
gan officials have also been efficient In
the good work Officers and courts have
not moved rapidly enough to suit some
ardent people, tut, for nearly two years
past the movements have been iudicious
and successful and there have been no
backward steps Wehope such measures
will continue. There is no good reason
why they should not.

Gov. Bates of Massachusetts Is of q
practical turn of mind. In his procla-
nation for Arbor Day he calls attention
to the gypsy and brown tail moth pests
and the terrible havoc which they are
working with the magnificent shade and
ornamental trees in a large section OF
the State. He therefore recommends
that Arbor Day be observed by warfare
for the protection of those trees they
now have as well as by planting young
trees, and asks that all patriotic citizens
unite in systematic, determined effort
to rid the State of this evil and to pre-
serve the sylvan beauty of the Common
wealth This Is worthy the attention OF
people of other states, including Maine

aged seventy -.hree years. She had been
resident os our town 10 years, and all
invalid for tweuty-swo years, for most OF

She was not member of any church but
always had deep interest in religious
things aud in the earlier years, before
her long illness, she was II constant at
tendant at the High street Christian
church. She was most estimable
woman and all who knew her speak of
her in terms Of hi2 hest respect.
The funeral occurred on Tuesday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. d..
Spencer and was largely attended by
neighhors, relatives and friends. Many
beautiful fl lral tributes were sent by
hose who wished thus TO show their
respect for The deceased and their appre-
citation of her many virtues.
Mrs. Bragg is survived by her nus
band, Washington Il. Bragg, with whom
she recently celebrated the fifty fourth
anniversary OF their marriage, by two
sons, Lester b. OF Portland and Chas. n
