Wheeler will be a continuous perform

The circus date is fixed and the small
bow is experiencing a spasm of econ

If the farmers can get along without
mittens there will be a lot of corn drop
ped, this week.
The announcement that Augusta has
nearly a score Of weddings scheduled
for June and several for July indicates
that Cupid had an uncommonly busy
winter in this section.
Hallowell and Winthrop are among
the places which would like to have the
scythe works which have been at North
Wayne since 1880. 1t is rot yet deter
mined, however. that the factory will
not be rebuilt upon its old site.
The Bates debaters do rot begrudg"
Vermont one little victory in the long
series. Besides it was the 18th debating
contest in which Bates has had par:
and it was bound to be unlucky, any
way.

The striking lime workers in Rock
land propose to fight it cut If it takes
all summer and winter. 1t looked as
though the war was ended. last week.
but just as they were about to put salt
on the tail of the dove of peace the coy
bird flew off into the clouds.
| Bowdoin's sweeping victory Of II to :
in the annual round robin tournament
with the Universityof Feimontis all iht
more pleasing to the tennis enthusiasts
of the college from the fact that Bow
doin did nothing, this year, in the
Maine Intercollegiate tournament on ac-
count of the absence of its best players
ut Worcester. Since the Maine inter-
collegiate tournament was first held a
dozen years ago, the BOwdOin players
with one or two exceptions, have regu-
larly carried off the honors in donbl'
and singles, each wear. and would
doubtless have done the same. thie
year. but after being postponed several
times on account Of rain the tourna-
ment was held while Rowdoin's best
players were at the New England inter-
collegiate field day at Worcester.
Waterville Mail: Is the State OF
Maine to be disgraced and her courts t.

stock for outsiders by their action in
1.-THE Sanford manslaughter case? Per-
lhaps not but there arc strong symptoms
THAT such is to be the ease. There is {.
strong feeling on the part of the people
lOf Durham that the change of venue
and the throwing Of the case back int"
Androscoggin county with a postpone
ment Of the trial until next September
means the last Of the notorious cas-
and that Sanford Will never get fined
or sentenced in any way. There is a
growing number in :he State who are
much in sympathy with the Durham
citizen who said in a press interview a
DIV 'fxxn hat hov,
are beginning to get tired of the way
the Sanford cases are turning out
THE law doesn't seem to amount to any
thing in his case. He was found guilty
IOf cruelty to his own son. has been con-
victed Of manslaughter, and still he has
paid no fine or been sentenced in any
way Don't you suppose it would have
been different If 1t had heen a common
mare go. and SANFORD makes them all
every day citizen with less financial
backing? / tell you. money makes the
go. 1t Is queer kind Of {. law IL there
ia no way Of reaching person guilty
of manslaughter. But let them go on.
I haven't doubt. but that Sanford
will get off without even Il fine to nav.
He has got the money. and that's what
counts" While this may be an exae-
gerated view of the case there is
enough of truth in it to make the whole
Sanford proceedings rerroach to the
courts and the State Of Maine.
1t may be many years before we see
our Maine rural free delivery carriers
whizzing along the country roads on
their rounds in an automobile and vet
it Is one Of the possibilities if not a
probability Of the future. We fear.
however. that the government will have
to furnish the machines or else provjd,.
increased pay for the service Of tn.
carrier and his equipment. But tho
antomobile is bound to come into gen.
eral use sooner or later in connection
with TIE mail service maintained nv
this great government of ours.
1t is good news to eastern Maine thar
it will have better mail Service this
lyear than ever before. At last pro.
vision is about to be made for the in
lcreased summer business in the mai,

past few years, bean more than the
