Where the Fines Go.

Fines in considerable amount are col
Of New York. For many minor offenses
fines are the only penalties. The fines
collected in the Court Of Special SEES
sions last month were reported as
amounting to $1,000 A like collection
each month would give yearly total
of 500, 900, which, as the report added,
would be nearly sufficient "to pay the
expenses of the court for the year" The
appropriation for the expenses Of our
Court of Special Sessions for 1908 is
so7. $50.
Such thing as a "self-supporting
tribunal" among the criminal courts is
unknown. For many years it has been
rendered impossible here by the law
doing away with all costs in criminal
proceedings. In most States prisoner
found guilty in minor tribunal is called
upon ito pay the costs in addition to
his fine or term of Imprisonment, and
where the complaint Of the prosecutor
is not sustained "the costs are on the
complainant. In New York there are
no costs" in criminal proceedings, and
tribunals exercising jurisdiction in Grim
inal cases are not and cannot be self
supporting. 1t is not the policy of the
law to make them 30.
Should court like the Court Of Spe-
cial Sessions, maintained for the preser-
walton of order and the observance of
the city ordinances and the trial of mis-
demeanors, be supported exclusively
by fines collected from delinquents, the
purpose of the law would be defeated.
! This purpose Is not TO have q tribunal

MAINE FOOTBALL. CHAT,
A Portland Observer Discusses the
Fight for the Championship.

The Portland Advertisers sporting
editor, who has seen each of the Maine
college elevens play, this fall, has this
TO say regarding the fight for the
State championship. 1t is of interest
as being the comment of an impartial
observer:
There is specter lowering over the
banquet hall Of the U. Of NJ football
team where the fleshpots of the State
college championship is anticipa ted
for the repast on the night of Nov. Is.
y duplicate spirit is causing the Bates
boys TO talk incoherently in their
sleep ana to SAFE off with vacant
stare5 into space ever and anon in
their waking moments.
That specter is Bowdoin.
Coaches and partisan enthusiasts
are scoIiing at the appartion and en-
d"avoring to dispel the worriment.
They dope out plenty of reinsurance in
soothing syrup doses because Bowdon
could beat Colby only to 0 Saturday
while they forget the incipicnt poison
Of the to game at Orono which the
patients system is absorbing.
McClave intensifics their discom-
future.
Last years star coach, the same who
turned out team that won the cham
rionship decisiveiy, is to arrive in
Brunswick Wednesday and he will
give the Bowdoin team such treatment
as hasn't been seen in the ancient
town for twelvemonth. 1t is an open
secret that Coach Barry hasn't been
able TO get the linemen into-shape. He
has produced a swell back field and he
had the material with which to do
this. The line isn't what it ought to
be-
McClave will help him remedy this.
There will be perfect cordiality and
cooperation between the two men but
the necessity for heroic action was APP
parent after the Tufts game. The
Colby game demonstrated with strik-
ing force the same necessity. Neither
team could play any sort of football on
the swamp to which the gridiron in
its muddy condition can best be
likened but Bowdoin should have
shown greater superiority and should
have shown it earlier. 1t wasn't the
fault of the backs but the misfortune
of the line.
Colpy's line was practically as good
as BoWdoin'S up to the last six or
seven minutes. Repeatedly the mass
of struggling players crashed together
and the grey backs held the black
nacks and even bent them over on
thelr heads and launches. Colby
hasn't done this to either of the other

is likely that there will be but inches
to spare frequently in these two
games and the referee doesn't want to
resort to tape measure details every
two minutes. There's no need Of it.
To clarity the situation BowdOin
must defeat Bates at Lewiston next
Saturday and Maine at Brunswick a
week later in order to win the cOverted
trophy. She may win one game but |
doubt if she can win two. With ten
days coaching by Barry and McClave
she ought to give u. of NJ. a desperate
struggle Nov. IS. Whichever team
gets the first touchdown ought to win
by puntins judiciously and thereby
wearing down the Opposition's Olfense.
Too little punting has hampered Maine
college teams frequently when ground
could have been gained by booting the
ball at a saving fer the offense which
would be fresh to go over the line
when it was within striking distance.
