Political Discussions In Maine.

From the Banaor News We learn that
DIR. CRocKETTE Of Thomaston and Rock
land is very charming man" He has
"a case hardened biceps and soul above
guile" This is the DR.. CRoc1ETTE famil-
lar to those who rejoice in his personal
acquaintance. Politically, a different
tale is told Of him. His imagination
runs away with him." 1t also runs away
with his prudence, giving birth to ro-
seate and kaleidoscope visions that lure
one from the thorny paths Of duty and
lead one among primroses and birdweed
and other botanical exaggerations.
Rambles among botanical exaggera-
tions," according to the Ners, do not
attract Maine audiences:
whenever DR.. cRocxsrrl has been billed to
speak In any hail Of late, and people have passed
By when the doctor had got wcn under way. many
Of those who have heard him have mistaken his
thunderous utterances for the guns Of Tooo's
Victorious heet, and have sough, safety from harm
by making an immediate retreat. In tact, the
doctors voice Is = misnt, being made for . much
larger man. though as yet the owner OF the voice
is not aware Of the fact
II is one OF natures mysteries tibet
men Of small stature are gifted with big
voices. What the reason is no one has
told. Perhaps it ia the same that sets a big
bandsman to playing the piccolo, while
the smallest member Of the company
struggles with the biggest horn. DR..
CRocKErrE lives in Knox county, which
accounts for the fact that there the
Democracy ia uniformly successful.
Knox usually gives plurality for the
party's candidates. and Dr. CRocNETTE
believes it should rule in the partys
councils The News declares that he
would drive from the organization all

with approval the language OF Judge
CULLEN in another case, AZ follows:

"The question of what overt act is sunacient 70
constitute an attempt TO commit q crime has been
the subject OF much discussion by both text writer
and courts, and OF some conflict In the decisions In
the early English the Wow seems to have been
adopted that to constitute attempt the overt act
must be the nnal ono toward the completion OF the
oYonse and Of such character that. unless II h al
been Interrupted tho ofense Itself would have been
committed. This extreme doctrine has
not been accepted In this country. certainly not IN
this state. Tho question whether an At
tempt to commit crime has been made Is deter
minable solely by the condition Of the actors mind
and his conduct in the attempted contamination Of
his design"
On the same day that the Court OF
Appeals affirmed the Conrad judgment
the Appellate Division for this depart
ment handed down it's third decision
sustaining such convictions, in the case
of People pa. DuVEAr. This was case
Of attempted robbery, frustrated by the
disclosure Of the secret to an officer OF
the law. The court was once more unan-
imous.
Whatever the disciples of the square
deal" doctrine even for criminals may
think of such extraofficial acts of prose-
cutting attorneys, the decisions referred
to above indicate that the New York
courts, while they may neither adopt
nor approve the action Of the officers, F"
will in all probability continue to believe
that these practises are not sufficiently
pernicious to justify the aoquittal OF
deliberately soheming criminals.

THAT RUSSIAN CONSTITUTION.
It's History Foreshadowed in . Parable Of
the Bears.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-St,: I read In
this mornings Sun that the reactionary and
clerical parties In Russia are about to memoir
ialize the Car against the grant Of q consti-
tuition and In favor Of the maintenance OF the
autocracy. This recalls parable told me BY
q Russian friend in q discussion Of the posi-.
bilty Of constitutional government In RUS
sia and the period that would elapse before 1t
might be feasible. Here il the story:
Once upon a time In the country OF the
Bears there arose asltators who clsmored
for a constitution. The common Bears were
80 carried away by the idea and Joined the
agitators in such numbers that the King Of
Beardom, fearing for his throne. determined
after consulting many persons, to aocede to
the general demand. After much hesitation
and many Alterations . constitution was pro-
claimed. It consisted Of only one clause. which
permitted all Bears to repair to their dens on
the approach OF winter and suck their paws
until the spring.
The effect OF the proclamation WAS varied.
While some looked on II as great concession
guaranteeing liberty to all Bears, the reaction
airy and clerical parties were inoensed. They
represented to the King that although the
constitution only permitted what had long
been customary in Beardom, II had estAb-
lished precedent that might be used to OBJ
and begged of him to recall IT,. They further
pointed out that the constitution was imper-
feet. as it made no provision for what the
Bears were to do during the summer season,
when they would be at large. They finally
30 worked on the King g fears that he decided
to revoke the concession he had made and
issue a second proclamation containing one
clause annulling the previous one.
The matter caused some excitement for
expected great things from the constitution.
finding that there had been no difference In
their condition under 1t. aband oned the Agi-
tat ors and things went on as before.
1t will be interesting to see whether the
course Of the constitutional agitation In Rus
STA will bring permanent results or turn out
like that in the parable. VlAToR-

this alleged desire, 1t says:

As We have remarked. DR.. CRocksTTH Is de-

Maine is the site Of splNce gum.
The comparison is a homely one that
will appeal to the downeasters imagina-
tons. But DR.. CRocKETTE may re-
semble the spruce gum in way different
from that pointed out by the Ners. Per-
haps, like it, he is dangerous to sit on.

Rich Men and Missionaries.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuH-.Sir: T. ]. Scott
thinks our rich men would do good by giving to
foreign missionaries. T J. Scott Is correct
II money could induce Japan and some other
"heathen" countries TO send missionaries among
US that money would probably be well spent
Maybe Mr.. Scott wants TO convert the Japanese to
his religion. Yet, n results are worth anything,
their religion Is hrst class. and Japanese teachers
among US would Improve our m aaners, morals and
intelligence
There e1lstA much doubt a. 70 the value OF our
missionaries abroad. though there Is no doubt that
they are very costly. Charity begins At home
