Christmas Shopping.

portland Advertiser)
Recognizing the need of prOmptitude
in the matter of Christmas preparation,
grave instructors of the public every
where are exhOrting their hearers and
readers to get move on as the small
cnt such counsel is well worth needing.
WheE it comes to che OSinG and buying
gifts for Christmas there really is no
reasonable excuse for delay. Not only
is money relatively plentiful this season.
but. as 4 natural commercial cOnse
quence. the possibilities of profitably and
prudently expanding that money are
prOportionately increased. If ever man
intends to loosen up now's the time.
for immediate attention. Opportunities
let slip i'm the early shoppdng season are
lost for good. The one who neglectS TO
seize the advantage presented by the
largest and freshest stocks, now display
ed in shop windows and on counters, will
have only himself to blame for the loss
and inconvenience that delay will entail.
in their greatest abundance and variety.
and they can be inspected with comfort
and to the hest advantage. These con-
diti1nS will not long continue. A few
days hence and the prOcrastinating Gus
toner will find himself forced to pick
and choose from depleted stocks, and
compelled to suffer the annoyance of
crowded streets and stores. Such con-
ditiOns tend to ruffie a mans temper
and becloud his Judgment. with no cor
responding benefit to his purse. There
Christmas presents than now. unless
last wn"t may have offered few adj
vantageS to parties who wish to take
their time about it.

The Withdrawal Of the Sturgis
Deputies,

The letter of Governor Cobb, pub
lished elsewhere in this issue, speaks
for itself, and will. we are sure, COM
mend itself to all good citizens ir-
respective of political affiliations Gov
ernor Cobb believes that the sheriffs
elected in September in the counties
where the Sturgis deputies have oper-
ated. should be given a full, fair OPP
portunity to show whether or not they
are willing to observe the solemn
obligations Of their oaths of office
They are the men elected for the
enforcement of all the laws. For
this service they are paid out of
the public treasury. They have no
authority to usurp legislative authority
or to decide for themselves what laws
they will or will not enforce The
voters of Maine have time and time
again passed their condemnation at the
polls upon sheriffs who have been
guilty of the notification of law
tilrOuSH t!lelT IdlluTe " properly ell
force it. Moreover the recent election
showed, and showed emphatically that
the people of Maine do not believe in
using one set of officers to discharge
the duties, which another set of officers
are elected and paid to perform. They
believe that the sheriffs holding their
offices at the hands of the people, and
directly accountable to them should
not be permitted to repudiate their
official obligations or given an Oppor-
tunity to evade them by asserting that
they have been usurped by another set
of officials created by commission.
There may be and is a wide differ
ence of opinion among good citizens
touching the prohibitcry law, but there
can be no difference among such citi-
zens touching the vital importance Of
honestly and impartially enforcing this
and all other laws so long as they re-
main upon the statute books To
nullify one law is to bring contempt
upon all law, and so long as prohibit
ton is the law in Maine, as, in our
Judgment it will continue to be for
many years to come, citizens who have
at heart the true welfare Of our State
will stand shoulder to shoulder in de-
handing that sheriffs shall live up to
the full. fair measure of their official
obligations After the first of Janu-
airy, 1907, there will be no chance
for any sheriff in Maine to say, Il
would have enforced the law if they
had kept their Sturgis deputies out and
given me a chance" The field will be
theirs, the duty will be theirs. and the
people will be watching them. Sheriffs
of Maine, after the first of next Janu-
airy it will be up to you.

Pearv Will Try Again.

Plainly his latest experiences in the
far North have not shaken Com
mander Peary's faith tina, he can
reach the pole. At his first public
appearance since his return-if we eX-
cept his brief speech to the 800
enthusiastic Bowdoin boys who almost
mobbed his train when he passed
through Brunswick-he talked about
another expedition in search OF the
pole as though the plans were all
arranged. This Is in E.-v York the
other evening, and thousands of
people crowded each other in the vain
attempt to get into the hall after it
was filled to its utmost capacity. 1t
was fine tribute to the brave explorer
of whose achievements the whole
in whose perseverance they pin their
faith that an American will be the first
to reach the coveted goal.
| He sticks to his earlier idea thar the
use of dogs and sledges is the only
feasible way to make dash for the
pole. He admits that he made one
miscalculation in his Latest expedition
and that was regarding tie nature Of
the ice over which he wou,.i have to
travel during the last stages nf MS
dash. He went on the assumption
that this ice is stationary. but it
proved to be constantly shifting and
full of open places which r1adc PRO-
gress very difficult. This drifting Of
to encounter, and in his talk i'm New
York he explained that if he tries
again he will go by somewhat diff
fcrent route and utilize the drifting of
the polar ice to assist els r"turn
southwark. This probably means l.,at
he would make the northern cape of
Greenland his point of departure. since
that is the most northerly land known,
and nearly 100 miles farther North
than the place Wnere the NOOScEcii
|wintered in the ice. Starting from the
northern extremity of Greenland
would make his route shorter, but il
would in all probability be over the
lsame kind of drifting ice that he met
before. However. Peary knows much
better what he is talking about thar
lany of the rest of US, and it is evident
that he has determined to keep at the
pole hunting business until he sue
ceeds. or dies in the attempt. His
talk of another expedition makes il
seem probable that the financial ent
of it will be looked after by the
wealthy New Workers. who made oos.
