In signed editorial in yesterdays
that the editorial work of that paper
has been entirely in his own hands
and has been done without suggestion
or dictation from Mr.. Davis the owner
of the paper. He feels therefore that
its editorials should not be used as re
fiecting the personal views OF MI
Davis or the paper referred to as ms
organ" 1t seems to US that TINS
cannot be avoided. No one, we i'm
agine, has supposed that Mr.. Davis
actually wrote the editorials of his
newspaper. At the same time he is
recognized as its principal owner. ana
the public has felt that any man do
ing its work, and thrown necessarily
his close friends and political workers
would, naturally, in his editorial ut
terances reflect fairly and accurately
the political views and policies of the
Democratic candidate. Mr. OTIS is a
modest man; but he may rest assured
that if he were not successful in this
respect the owner of the Sentinel
would promptly tell him so.
Willie the Journal does not agree
with Mr.. Otis IN his political views it
recognizes the fact that, as the editor
of Mr.. Davis newspaper he has held 1t
steadily to the lines of policy which
were laid out for it from the start, and
open to even the suspicion of having
misrepresented his employer in any
thing that he has written.

The Democratic Policy Of Deception

The Waterville Sentinel owned
nrincipallv by candidate Davis who IS
now-with IAN anchor 10 windWard
the important B5 work upon which he
is paid five. cents a thousand ems more
than was paid for the same work under
the old law-doing the most profitable
part of the State Printing. has good
deal to say as to who instituted the
legislative inquiry into the State
Printing. The Sentinel endeavors to
create the impression that 1t was
Cyrus W. Davis. 1t may be as well TO
state the truth about this matter.
The resolution for this inquiry was
introduced into the Legislature at the
request of the State Printer. Some
criticisms had been made upon him by
a contestant for his office. The Public
Printer knew:
1st. That he had honestly admins
tered the affairs of his office in strict
compliance with the requirements OF
the law.
end. That any Legislative committee
Republican or which
took the trouble to ascertain the facts
would SO find,
Therefore he asked for Legislative
inquiry.
1t was most thorough one. At its
closed the committee found unan-
imously precisely what the Public
Printer knew they would find when
they had taken the time and trouble to
ascertain the truth. viz. That the
Public Printer had honestly admins
tered his office in strict accordance
with the requirements Of the law.
| This is the truth about the printing
inquiry.
| In the face Of these facts the at
tempt OF Mr. Davis paper to create the
impression that the inquiry of the
committee revealed any failure on the
part of the Public Printer to com.
ply with the law, or any dishonesty il
his dealings with the State, by the uS'
of phrases like THE exposure of thu
State printing scandal etc, etc, in

with him published i'll the Lewiston
sun prior TO the Second District Con-
gressional convention at Lewiston Mr..
Staples was a very ardent Mont
gomery man, and very outSpoken in
his opposition to D. ]. McGillicuddy.
Unquestionably his interview as pub
lished on the morning of that conven-
ton was intended to have and to some
extent did have an influence upon the
convention although not enough to de-
feat Mr.. McGillicuddy's nomination.
Mr.. Staples never repudiated that in
terview. If he had wished to have
denied the language attributed to him
by the Lewiston Sun we have no doubt
but what that paper would have at
forded him space for any statement he
might have desired to make, but no
such denial has ever appeared in its
columns. This same interview was
repuhlished in the Rockland Courier
Gazette and no denial of it has ever
other publication in Maine. For weeks
after its appearance Mr.. Staples has
made no attempt, so far as we nave
seen, to repudiate this interview,
which was taken by the public as
fair public expression Of the views
pertaining to Mr. McGillicuddy's candi-
dacy which he was very outspoken in
expressing prior to the Second DIS
| trict convention. Now he states over
his own signature that the Lewiston
News reporter did mot tell the truth
| in attributing to him the language-at
| that time undenied and unqueStioned by
him-which we attributed to him IN
the editorial he quotes above. SO FAR
| as his ninth hour predictions are con-
| cerned they are of no value in TINS
connection. The question is did Sena-
| tor Staples actually use the language
| attributed to him in the Lewiston sun
| interview? If so it would seem to De
M to that paper to substantlate me
fact If not it will strike thoughtful
citizens that Senator Staples comes a
tritie late with his denial.

The attempt Of the Democratic
papers to make it appear that the
Maine law would prohibit the making
of "denatured" alcohol in this State
under the Federal law because pure al
cohcl enters into its manufacture as it
does into the manufacture of many
other articles made and sold in Maine
without infringement of law, has
fallen decidedly flat. Pure alcohol is
merely 4 part of the process of manu-
facture in the production of de
natured" alcohol. 1t is not the
product itself. which being distinctly
impossible of use as beverage would
not in anyway conflict with the pro-
vision of the constitution of Maine
which forbids the manufacture of in
toxicating liquor. The manufacture
of "denatnred'' alcohol would, under
the provisions of the Federal law, be
conducted under the strict rules
and supervision Of the Internal Reve-
nue. Department. If there We're any
point to the bubble raised by the
Democratic party it could be easily
avoided by adding wood alcohol or 9TH

the process of distillation as well as
subsequent to it. In this way all pos

there would be no natural alcohol

Ex-Mayur Boothby of Portland tells
an interviewer that he is especially de-
lighted with the way the residents of
other states are taking up old farms
in Maine and making the run down
acres gardens of the Lord. He be-
lieves that the fathers chose better
than they knew when they located
their homes on mountain tops. and if
their ancient farm houses are badly
in need of repair. their former acres
are in demand and fine summer homes
will be built on their farms. This is
one of the results he sees in the near
future Of the great rush of summer
visitors to Maine. Sebago, for eX-
ample, is turning from farming town
to great summer resort. and it will be
a good thing for the farmers and for
the thousands of summer guests. Col.
Boothby sees this as a general rule and
not the exception. He believes that
the time is coming when there will be
no back country in Maine, but with
every part reached by railroads the fu-
ture Of the State will be fully assured.
And he fully expects to live to see all
this, and it goes without the saying
that he will do his best to hasten the
rest Of the good things coming to
Maine.
