The appointment of Insurance Com
missioner Carr for another term is a
deserved tribute to a popular and eff
cient State official With him at its
head the department has become of
greater usefulness than ever before to
the people of the State and it's increas-
ing business has been handled in a most
business-iike manner. The department
does n work which is seldom thought of
by the thousands and thousands of peo-
Pile who carry insurance upon their
homes and places of business. and yet
il is a work which is of vital import

Carr. absolutely faithful to his trust

to continue at the head of its insurance

toresting account of the origin OF the
probation system in Boston some years
ago, a system dealing with police court
offenders which by a special act OF the
Maine Legislature is now in operation
in Portland. According to the Portland
newspapers, this system is working ex-
Gently in that city and there is little
doubt that efforts will be made to have
it introduced in all the larger cities of
Maine. We urge our readers to study
the article referred to, as it gives a

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Young Men Of Maine.
Bangor NeWS.)

\bdnSOr NeWS.D
For the first time since the Civil war
swept our merchant marine from the
seas of the world, leaving us with
nothing but a few vessels engaged in
the coastWlse trade, the young men of
Name are staying at home in Maine
and helping to build up the state. AS
a matter of fact, this happy condition
OF affairs is not due to anything which
the Maine legislature has done to en-
courage people to make their homes
in Maine. Whatever of good times or
prosperity We enjoy today, is
due directly to the Dingley tariff.
Were not our farm products and home
industries protected by tariff with
high wall, our young men would be
going West and South. the way they
did in the hard times, which prevailed
from 1898 to 1897.

Here are some comments on the
subject of Resubmission that we have
not seen copied in our exchanges
which, from time to time, devote space
in their valuable columns" to that
edifying topic. They are from the
Machias Union, and presumably from
the 'trenchant pen" of the editor of
that lively and interesting sheet. the
versatile lawyer, statesman and poll
tician, w. r. Pattangall Mr.. Pat
tangall is closely in touch with Maine
public sentiment. In the article from
which we quote he is discussing a
great issue which he declares awaits
settlement in the State of Maine He
deprecates the division of our people
upon national issues, declaring that
they have nothing to do with our
state affairs, and pointing out that the
election of William L. Douglas did not
secure free hides for the shoe manu-
facturers of Massachusetts. Then he
goes on to say:
There is a State of Maine issue.
Big enough and important enough
to fight a half dozen campaigns on.
ut isn't Resubmission.
"If Resubmission and local option
came to Maine, the prOhibitory law
would still be the law i'm every town
in this county and part of the time
in both cities.
1T would still be the law in every
town in Hancock excepting Bar Har-
Dor 1t would be the law in all of
AroostOok and Piscataquis and Penob-
scot counties with the exception of
Bangor and Old Town
This is true of the rest of the State
IN the same proportion.
THAT is why it is not an issue big
enough or important enough to ever
interest the people of Maine at large.
That isn't the important ISSUE
That does not make Il very hopeful
showing for those of our friends who
agree with Editor Pattangall as to
the desirability of resubmitting the
constitutional amendment. For if the
people of nine-tenths of Maine want
the prohibitory law applied to their
own communities. and there is no
doubt that Mr.. Pattangall has sized
up the situation Alright. what chance
is there for the friends of the saloon
to get their pet established at all with
IN the limits of the State?
