East Sumner.

April 12-As we write our thoughts
involuntarily turn to forty-five years ago
to-day when the gun was fired at
Sumpter that resounded throughout the
world. Then followed dark days full OF
anxiety, the carnage Of war and Its terri
BILE effects. Yet the country never was
more prosperous and better prepared to
repel invasion and vindicate its honor
than to-day. Never were we more im:
pressed with the power and stability OF
our country than now. God forbid that
any conflict shall ever take place In the
Pine Tree State between morality, So
briefly and good citizenship, and the
forces of evil that now and then clamor
for an ascendency. Dark, portentous
clouds may arise, but We still have
confidence In the power and integrity OF
our best citiasns.

And finally, in closing, he puts the
issue squarely thus:
''As Republican l appreciate the fact
that an undoubted crisis is now facing
our party, but courage, united effort and
nents to rout. AS an Executive, while
fully realizing that my official action in
connection with the SturgiS Law and
enforcement has brought condemnation
from many, caused regrets from friends
whose judgment and friendship value,
and invited the charge that l am re-
sponsible to the same extent that the
Sturgis Law is responsible for present
conditions, can only say that could
not see my way clear to follow any other
course. The Republican party made its
platform, and as candidate for Governor
/ promised to support its declaration of
principles. A Republican Legislature
enacted the Sturgis Law, and as Govern
or | had taken an oath to endeavor to
enforce all laws.
81 am profoundly grateful for all the
honor the Republican party has con-
ferred upon me, and have done my
best to be true to my oath of flee, TO
my party and to myself. l had hoped
to so conduct the affairs of my admin
istration as to enjoy the confidence of
my party and the respect of the people
of Maine, but / will willingly forfeit
both if they are to be won and retained
only by forgotten promises and broken
oaths. If the party has made a mis-
take in its platform or candidate the
remedy is in its own hands, but so long
as / am Governor of Maine | shall OPP
pose notification, shall insist upon law
enforcement, and so long as the Sturgis
Law remains on our statute books and
officials fail to do their duty, shall use
that law to enforce prohibition with all
the power, influence and resources at
my command.
~ am not posing as a reformer or as a
political martyr, or as sentimentalist;
nor can any man hold the conscience Of
his party in his keeping. But | can and
do plead for one thing and it is this:
That the Republican party may bring
to the discussion and settlement of this
great question of law enforcement that
courage, spirit of fairness and honesty
of purpose, without which an appeal to
our people will be in vain, to the end
that Republicanism may control the po-
litical destinies of Maine and lead her to
a government Of law, better citizen
ship and an ever-increasing prosperity"
Thus is the issue squarely drawn, and
this fearless stand on the governors
part ought to strengthen the weak
hands and confirm the feeble knees. |
Governor Cobb by the usage of his party |
will be renominated this year. He has
shown us plainly on what platform he |
stands, and he should have behind him
a Republican party united for enforce
ment Of law. By that let as stand or
fall.

A Square Issue.

Governor Cobb deserves the thanks of
the Republican party of Maine for the
square stand which he took in his re-
marks to the Deering Republican Club
on the evening of the 9th inst. We are
only sorry that lack of space prevents
giving his address in full. Since his
clear-cut and unequivocal utterances
during the campaign of 1904 and in his
inaugural, Governor Cobb has had moth
ing to say for publication. He has sim
ply kept on attending to his duties and
keeping still about it. At Deering the
governor broke his silence, and there is
no question that he had something to
say.
The governors address is like all he
had TO say in the campaign. There is
not a sentence of doubtful meaning in
it. II is square and frank, and faces the
issue and accepts il fearlessly. Ii is a
careful and complete review of the
present political situation, especially
with reference to the Sturgis law, which
he frankly admits TO be the chief
though not the only cause of the present
political unrest in the state, and for the
operation of which he freely expresses
responsibility with the enforcement
commission.
In replying TO some of the criticism of
the Sturgis commission, the governor
has this among other things to say:
"The Enforcement Commission has
never yet begun operations in any county
until after exhausting by argument and
advice every resource at its command to
prevail upon the local officials to do
their plain duty, and it will never do
otherwise. Nor will it be forced by
popular clamor against its own judg-
ment and contrary to its own knowledge
of the facts to begin operations in any
county where it believes the local officials
are trying to do their duty, and where it
believes that such officials are meeting
with as much success as the Commission
could accomplish if there. But this
does not mean that the field of its oper-
atious may not be extended, or that it is
in ignorance of the conditions that pre-
vail in certain counties. In this matter
it is better to GO too slow than too fast.
Each county and each sheriff must be
treated fairly, and each move of the
Commission must be justified by law
and fact Men protected for years III
an illegal business and bound to it by
the hope and promise of large pscuniary
gains are not to be dislodged without a
struggle or in twelve months time, and
those who believe in the honesty, sin
certify and efficiency of the Commission
must give it time to meet and overcome
the many aud perplexing problems
which confront il ~
