that the conditions have not been worse
than they have in the northern part of the
county. The following editorial which ap-
peared in the Republican Journal of AL
gust 8, '05, is terse, pointed statement of
the way liquor is still sold in Waldo county:
The Lewiston Journal in commenting on
some statements in the Bangor Commercial
says: eff Bangor and Belfast are wide
open, the Sturgls commission should sit on
the lld and hold it down, ETC." The Com
mercal llUa ,s in replying well says: "Why does
matter of closing up its own city first? It
would be more in accordance with accepted
customs to do this before attempting to
prescribe remedy for the ills of Bangor
and Belfast" We take exceptions to the
assertion that Belfast is wide open, al
though it must be admitted that liquor is
still sold here, despite the frequent seizures
by Sheriff Carleton and his deputies. This
condition is due to the Supreme Court At
the recent term in this city those convicted
OF violations of the prohibitory law were
given to understand that they could serve
their Jail sentences concurrently that is to
say, no matter how many times they are
convicted and brought up for sentence one
term of 60 days will cover all. Naturally
they keep right on selling, feeling that they
are thus incurring no additional penalty
One liquor seller said to the officer "what
do we care about your little seizures ?" and
another said he had as soon have twenty
cases as one. Judging from the past, why
should he not? But is it not possible that
he may change his mind in this respect
Let us hope so.
The Jesse f. Staples assault case will be
ready for sentence this term. The bastard
ly crime has not been forgotten, nor has
he indignation of an outraged people SUBJ
sided, as is clearly shown whenever the
case is mentioned, The facts are these:
On December a. '04, Rev. Eugene 5. Phil
brook was walking along Main street; he
had just passed the liquor saloon at No. 81,
when the proprietor, Jesse f. Staples,
came out with ii volley of the most obscene,
profane and abusive language, to which Mir.
PhilbrOok gave no notice whatever; then
the talk ceased. After he had gone few
rods, Mr.. PhilbroOk heard some one running
behind him and supposed it was some one
trying to catch the boat or train, and did
not know that he was being pursued until
Staples dealt him heavy blow on the back
of the head, knocking him down. Then
Staples tried to kick him, and after getting
to his feet, he knocked him down again,
and again tried to kick him, and continued
his brutal assault until Mr. PhilbrOok's ap-
peal for protection was responded to. Mr..
Philbrook received an ugly wound on the
knee and bad looking bruises on the head
and face
The people of Waldo County will watch
with close interest the disposition of the
cases on the criminal docket at the coming
term. j. W. HATCH.

forcement of the law in Waldo County is
now with the Supreme Court.
The opportunities of the liquor sellers
have been greatly enlarged, and the diff
Guilty of enforcement increased, by the im-
portation of Italians and other workmen on
the railroad. The Italians have liquor
come for their own use that is the legal
right of any person but some have claimed
that they sell liquor, even to the natives,
and that Sheriff Carleton lets the Italians
have all the rum they want, while white
man could not have it. Persons claiming
to know about these sales have been unable
to help the Sheriff to any evidence, even
though asked and urged to do so. One man
did try to get evidence by trying to pur-
chase, but he was asked, "Who are you ?"
He replied, 81 am man." The response
was, "but l don't know you and you don't
belong to this camp" and he could not Sc
