EAST SULLIVAN, Sept. IS (specisl)--
! have at sundry times and in divers
places said things against the automobile.
This was before the trip. Now, with the
memory of the carefulness of the chauffeur,
the eoaxing "whoa boy of the passengers,
. the manner in which horses kept their
heads providing drivers Gid not first lose
their wits, say; s'Let 'em come" since
it has entered INTO the mind of man 10
invent this delightful way of touring the
country.
1t was Mr.. Emery's day, and he being
ship broker wished to cali ON sea captains,
their wives or widows. II took more
toots Of the horn to impress ON his mind
the flight of time during some calls than
others.
Milbridge was the first stopping place.
Here the three masted schooner James I.
Maxwell, IT,, is being built for Capt, Fred
Crahtree. We were told it was one of the
finest vessels ever built in that yard. We
began to notice that sea captains were
found in the largest and most attractive
looking homes; that from the aged men
who sailed their ships and spun their
yarns from the port of the village stores,
10 the young captains in service, the
senior member of the firm OF John S.
Emery * Co. received most cordial
greeting.
1t was in this village that a diminutiye
man accomplished the feat OF running in
front OF the machine while his blsck-eyed
playmate, perhaps not less brave but more
cautious, took the rear end. The front
man ventured to ask: "Will il bite?" The
siren whistle answered, and the boy
vanished through the door.
A lad was coming bravely on his wheel
when over went boy and bicycle in heap.
In explanation he said he ''did not know
that the d. thing was so near. deer
held up the auto wit hout giving the Gus
tomary signal.
Travelling east We seemed to cause more
Of panic. Children by the roadside, ON
being asked directions, moved their
mouths without making sound, while
women ran into the houses and shut tue
doors. Iapproyed OF this, knowing what
happened at my own home a few weeks
before.
All along the way, with busy Jonesport
as the objective point, we received cour-
tesy for courtesy, while many whose hands
were not otherwise busy waved cheerful
greetings on the beautiful day. Ninety
three miles We're covered; the calls all
made, little visit of two hours in Cher
ryfield, where our arrival at G. r. Camp
bell & Co.'s store filed the heart Of a we'll
known travelling man with dismsy, and
just as Mars first glimmered in the west

He Deserved Defeat.

Sheriff Ham, of Kennebec county,
whose nom enforcement policy
brought in the Sturgis commission,
aud who was defeated by a democrat
in his attempt to get himself re-
elected, deserved no better fate. Still
be has rushed into print, and tries to
explain his defeat by declaring that
he was a victim OF circumstances.
Apparently he is quite right-a vic
tim of circumstances OF his own max
ing. 1t is hardly to be supposed that
Gov. Cobb sent the Sturgis deputies
into Kennebec-into a republican
county with a republican sheriff I'M
less conditions warranted it, and Mr..
Ham himself does not claim that they
did not. On that point, therefore, it
would seem that he had no cause for
complaint.
Under these circumstances Mr..
Ham should not have been re-nomi-
mated; the party in Ken3ebec courted
defeat by renominating him, and on
election day il received the rebuke it
deserved.

The newspapers oatside the State OF
Maine wholly misapprehend the real
situation here when from the results
of last weeks election they assume
That the reduced republican msJorities
indicate change 10 sentiment on the
prohibitory method of dealing with
tire liquor traffic.
The error is due, il seems to Us, to
ihe assumption that a vote for re-
submission is vote against prohibi-
uoa, ana this is by Ao means true.
The resubmissionists ia Maine are of
Two utterly opposing classes; one
tavoriug it because they are opposed
to prohibition, and who hope through
resubmission to bring about repeal
vi the prohibitory law and the sub
xtitution of local option and license;
the other favoring it because they de-
sire an opportunity to reaflirm their
faith in the prohibitory law, and who
selieve that, given the opportunity,
The vote of the State would be over
Ehelmingly in favor OF a retention of
the law.
The vote last week, therefore, il
our understanding of the situation is
correct, does not indicate change in
sentiment on prohibition per Sc;
neither did it, in our judgment, indi-
cate sentiment against enforcement,
bat it Enthusiastically did indicate re-
sentiment at the method of enforce
ment-the Sturgis law.
At the same time We think the re-
sentiment was unwarranted, because
had every sheriff done his duty, there
would have been no occasion for the
sending out of single Sturgis deputy.
Doubtless there are many who are
"fur the law, but agin its enforce
ment", who favor the Bangor plan"
so-called, which is notification pure
and simple. The republican party
has followed this plan almost up to
the point of its undoing, and If for no
vorthier motive than to retain polit
ical control in the State, it has within
the past four years changed its tao
hes, that is better than to have con-
finued in the old way.
Prohibition without enforcement is
a farce and fraud. and if the people
do not want enforcement, they should
not cling TO prohibition. Better for
public morals is license or any other
method of regulating the liquor traffic
according to law than prohibition
without enforcement.

Every effort is being made by those
int ested in securing American inter
vention in Cuba 10 force this govern
ment to take high hand, and put
down the present insurrection in viz
tue of the police right that is given it
under the Plat amendment. II is
tolerably safe to say that nothing of
this sort will occur. The President is
handling the situation from Oyster
Bay, and he has had in conference
with him Secretary Bonaparte, of the
navy department, Taft of the war de-
partment and Acting Secretary Ba-
con, of the state department. He has
issued orders for both Taft and Bacon
to 60 to Havana, where they will
learn the real facts in connection with
the uprising, and be able to report d.
rectly 10 the President on the neces-
sity or otherwise for Intervention.
The strongest factor in the whole sit
uation is a letter that the President
has written to the Cuban minister,
Mr.. Quesada, deploring the state of
civil war into which Cuba has fallen
and warning the Cuban people SOL
EMMY that as last resort it viii be
the duty OF this government to inter-
vene and restore peace in the island

A Republican Platform


According to the LetCiston Journal,
the republicans of Maine appear to
be reassembling on the following
platform as the embodiment of real
republicanism on State issues:
l. Enforcement and resubmission.
2. Drive out the Sturgis commission by
home rule. not by repeal of the authority of
the governor to enforce laws of the common
wealth. BY such means, we force the hand Of
Pennellism. whether it be the voice of Jacob
and the fist of Esau, as IN Kennebec, or
whether it be Jacob straight and simple, as
in Cumberland.
s. The popular party election, substituting
she order Of the rank and fle OF parties for
.he boss-ridden caucus and convention.
4 The popular initiative and referendum.
g. Exhaustive investigation Of the problem
Of taxation BY disinterested experts, and the
elimination from the state valuation commits
sion Of any gentleman representing great
interests whose tax is contested.
s. The elimination of bossism from the
structure and organization Of the Maine leg
islatare. including legislative committees.
= Legislation to arrest the evils of Hobbies
ana to prevent legislation for special interests
ram being ordered by the third branch,
soaetber with outlawry of the fixing traffic of

There is a persistent rumor, says the
Bar Harbor Record, that the Maine Cen
trial has purchased. or is about to purchase,
the wharf ON which it now does business.
For years the Maine Central has leased
tins property from the Boston s Maine,
which probably accounts for il not having
better buildings on the wharf. II this
rumor is true, it with mean doubtless
msny improvements at this wharf as well
as the new Eastern Steamship Co.'S wharf.
The protest of the Bangor cottagers at
Green Lake against the government fish
hatchery there, went up like q rocket and
came down like the stick. The hearing
before the State fish and game commits
sioners in Bangor last week, ut which the
cottagers expected to read the riot act to
the hatchery people, resolved itself into a
love feast. II was decided thai the pres
ent condition OF allowing the government
to take the fish and strip them Of eggs
was beneficial rather than detrimental to
the fishing in the lake, and it was gener-
ally conceded that the fishing there has
improved each year since the hatchery
was Instituted.
