The Full Dinner Pail Still an Issue

A friend of the Journal living in the
town Of winterport. one Of the promi-
ncnt men Of that section of the State.
in writing to us upon another matter
incidentally dwels upon the great
difficulty which the farmers of Waldo
county have had in securing help
during the present having season.
Never before were the wages for farm
laborers 50 high, but even at the pres
ent high figure it is almost impossible
to get men to work. 1t Is the same in
the villages and cities as on the farms,
and in other sections as well as In
Waldo county, for not only Is there
work for all who want it in these pros
porous times. but there Is more work
to be done than there can be found Ia
horers to do it. The laboring masses
of Maine, and that includes pretty
much all of US in this State. may not
be keenly alive to the fact. but
nevertheless, the full dinner pail is
an issue in the present State campaign
which Is not to be ignored or neglect
ed.
as our Winterport friend suggests

lives the present protective tariff Is

prevent the ravages of these moths
One object Of their visit is to TAX:

voters that the burden of State taxa
tion is crushing weight upon their

Official figures puts this Democratic lie
completely out of business. The total
State tax OF the SO towns in Oxford

year they received back from the State

they paid the State. No wonder the

GOV. pATTIsoN TO GOV. COBB.
Cincinnati, o., June 9Th, 1906.
NV Dear Governor Cobb:

Nv Dear Governor Cobb:
! have just had the pleasure Of
reading the address which you de-
Iivered before the Deering Re-
publican Club several weeks ago.
II certainly puts the issue in your
state in a mastcrfuI way, and
though I differ from you on the
principles that divide the Re-
publican and Democratic schools
Of political thought, cannot re-
frain from expressing my profound
admiration for the firm and pa
triotie stand you have taken in be-
half Of the Maine law and ito
proper enforcement.
Every patriotic and honest
citizen must admit that all the
laws on the statute books of the
State should be obeyed and en-
forced; no one citizen has moro
right than any other to select what
he will obey and what he will not
obey. If he fails to obey them, he
is not good nor a patriotic
citizen, and an officer who has
taken an oath to enforce the
ordinances Of a village or a city
and the laws Of the State and fails
to do so, should at once be re-
moved. This doctrine I tried to
emphasize in my inaugural ad-
dress. The lack Of respect for law
is one Of tho evils of the times, and
ali people who are patriotic and
who believe in a stable form Of
government should realize that no
form of government can exist
without law, and no republic can
continue except on tho foundation
of strict obedience to law and q
proper administration of justice.
The dignity Of the law must be
maintained or the republic will
decay. Lincoln said that "rev-
erence for law should be the re-
ligion of the Nation" This was
but strong way Of expressing his
idea upon the subject Of law en-
forcement. All Christian people,
irrespective Of sect or cre.d,
should be in favor Of law and order
and should be opposed to law
lessness.
feel sure that the results Of
your temperance legislation, as
shown by your criminal and
economic statistics in comparison
with those Of other states have
demonstrated tho wisdom Of your
policy for Maine, and your ring
ing challenge to the good citizen
ship OF your state to support a
faithful administration of the laws
places you in line with this cheer
ing wave Of reform which is
sweeping over the country in all
directions, and which is essentially
nonpartisan. ! indulge in the be-
lief it is not transient and ! hope
It will be sufficiently strong in the
State Of Maine to sustain YOU
royalty in your praiseworthy
course.
You are entitled to and ! hone
will receive the support Of ali good
citizens Of Maine in the next
campaign, during which ! under
stand that the endorsement Of
your position will be one Of the
leading issues.
With assurances of high regard
and best wishes. I am,
Sincerely yours,
JOHN M. PATTISON.

days ago. Upon leaving her house she
locked the front door very earthly, be-

to do some shopping. Returning home
she looked in the place where she usu-
ally leaves the key and was surprised
to find it was not there. Then she tried
the windows, found one unlocked. Sc
cured a box to stand upon and climrd
into the house. Naturally enough her
anxiety was for the front door and
after opening the spring lock from the
inside she discovered the key tightly
clenched IN one hand. She had taken
the key with her, brought it back home
and never for an instant loosened her
grasp upon it.
