AS the meeting this year will be for the
election of officers, as well as for the tran
saction of the regular business to come
before the session, the largest attendance
in the history of the grange is confident
expected. In years past the attendance has
been between 5000 and 1000, and fully that
number is expected to meet in Bangor
Monday evening the Bangor Board of Trade
and citizens are to give a reception to the
made up, Wednesday will as usual be the

| is expected. The Grange has had pros
porous year and is now the largest order in
the State and one of the most powerful.
! From total membership of little rising
5000 last year, when the State Grange met

$4,000, which is fully up to the gain in past
years.

refers to the January term, and it is
correct in saying that "there was just
the same opportunity, but nobody went
to Jail and the rum business went on
unchecked" Not only that but the rum
sellers were given to understand that
they might serve their Jail sentences
concurrently; that is, if five 60 days
Jail sentences were given they could
all be served in sixty days. They were
thus encouraged to keep on selling, and
did so; and Sheriff Carleton and his
deputies kept on making seizures; and
if Judge Whitehouse had done as other
judges have done there would be open
bars in Belfast today, and the defiant
violations of the law would have con-
tinued.
1t has been evident for long time
that no legislation could avail to bring
about enforcement of the prohibitory
law without the aid of the Supreme
Court. With both bench and bar on
the side of the rumseller the Sturgis
Commission, sheriffs and county attor-
neys would be powerless. At the Janu-
airy term in 1908 Chief Justice Wiswell
announced from the bench that liquor
sellers would be given until March Of
that year to 60 out of business, and if
they continued after that they would
on conviction be given Jail sentences.
Since then, until the recent September
term, there have been no Jail sentence
except in the case of two or three ire
sponsible bar tenders, while the prin-
cipa4s have continued their unlawful
business without interruption save for
the occasional visits of the sheriff and
his deputies. The bars are closed now,
as they could have been closed at any
time in the past had the justices so
Willed it.
The Biddeford Record, whose COM
ments on the proceedings here at the
September term of court are printed in
another column, speaks of there being a
law fer each county. 1t may not be the
case now but in times past it was gen
orally recognized that each judge was a
law unto himself When the presiding
Judge was announced for a coming term
of court those engaged in the unlawful
sale of liquor governed themselves &C
cordingly In some cases they kept
right on selling: in others they went
down the bay Oh fishing trips or were
called to Boston on business, We must
confess ignorance as to the extent to
which Judges of our highest court can
interpret the laws according to their
personal inclination, but to the lay
mind it does not seem right that one
judge should make fish of what another
makes flesh, that laws should be en-
forced in one county and not in anoth
er, or perhaps not enforced at all,

Commenting on paragraph in a re-
cent issue of The Journal concerning
the jail sentences in liquor cases at the
last term of court the Rockland Opion-
ion says:
We do not see what the sheriff and
county attorney had to do with it. The
Journal admits that they have permit
ted this law to be ''openingly, defiant
ly and repeatedly violated" in the past,
and there is no reason to suppose that
it would have been any different at all
had not Judge Whitehouse given Off
Gals and liquor dealers alike a surprise
by his drastic handling of cases that
came before him: At the last term of
court in Waldo county, there was just
this same opportunity, tut nobody
went to Jail and the rum business went
on unchecked.
If the sheriff had not made repeated
searches and seizures there would have
been no liquor cases to come before the
court, and if the county attorney had
failed in his duty, the offenders might
have escaped punishment. When the
Opinion speaks in the closing sentence
of ''the last term of court it evidently

The Machias Union, after stating
that the Lewiston Sun has criticised
Gov. Cobb unfairly, proceeds to give
its opinion of man whose nomination
and election it opposed last year and
whose reelection it will oppose next
year ION purely party grounds" 1t
says:
Our personal acquaintance with Gov
errors in their official capacity does not
date back very far but within that limit
Mr. COBB is the best Governor Maine
has had.
The Union says further of Gov. Cobb
that, no one runs his administration
but himself. He is an honest, fearless,
able, sincere, independent man: and
that I'VE must 60 back long ways in
the later history of Maine to find as
frank, sincere and capable chief ex-
ecutive as MI Cobb" The Democracy
of the Machias Union is unquestioned;
but it is not SO hidebound that it can
not do Justice to political opponent.
