The trustees in soliciting subscription,
to ensure the payment of the $1,000 per
annum to Leonard & Barrows did not stop
when that amount had been pledged, feel
ing that some subscriptions might be al
lowed to lapse or some unforeseen con-
tingncy arise calling for more money, and
surplus has been carr led over each year
sufficient, if the subscriptions are continu-
ed for the ten years as originally agreed to
provide for this extension to the building.
The meeting was called to ascertain if the
subscribers were willing that the money
should be thus used, and it is perhaps need
less to say that unanimous assent was
given, and work will begin on the extension
as soon as possible.
The shoe factory building has undergone
some changes of ownership since Crichett,
Sibley & Co. occupied it, and the recent
owners have been Mrs. O. G. Crichett,
Chas. E. Knowlton, VIM. A. Mason, l. L.
Perry and James Z. Durham. Last week
William H. Quimby bought them out and is
now the sole owner of the building. 1t is
said that he did not make this purchase as an
investme mt, but with view to the good of
the city, believing that it could be more
advantageously handled under individual
ownership. The outcome of the matter is
certainly very satisfactory and calls for
general congratulations.

THE STAPLES CASE.
The Petition for Pardon Withdraw

The Petition for a Pardon Withdrawn.
There will be no hearing before the Gov
ernor and Council Feb. 23d on the petition
for pardon for Fred NJ. Staples, now in
Waldo county Jail for selling intoxicating
liquors. Hon. Albert Perce of Frankfort,
a member of the Council, was in the city
last Saturday and Sunday and interviewed
a number of citizens, including the attending
physician Of Mrs Staples; Mr.. Staples and
Sheriff Carleton. AS it seemed that there
was no probability of the granting of
pardon, and as it was understood that if a
the hearing took place remonstrance
would be presented, it was decided by those
interested to withdraw the petition.
This matter has been misrepresented in
various ways and injustice done in conse-
quence Mr.. Staples himself suffers from
the unnecessary notoriety given his case
and from the imputation that his wife is not
having proper care. In fact, everything has
been done for her that money could obtain.
She has wanted for nothing, has had
nurse and medical attendance, and will
continue to have the best of care and at
tention. Her disease is an incurable one
and naturally marked by a gradual de-
cline, and it is not true, as reported, that
she is at deaths door because of her hus-
bands absence. AS we understand it Mr..
Staples did not encourage this move for a
pardon, and when it was suggested that the
Governor and Council might authorize
the sheriff to permit him to go to his home
daily in charge of an officer to care for his
wife did not wish to avail himself OF this
offer, preferring to wait until he could go
out as free man. That will be on April
10th
Sheriff Carleton has also been the victim
that Judge Whitehouse wrote him, author
izing him to allow MIR. Staples to go out
each day to care for his wife, but that the
sheriff refused to permit this privilege.
Judge WhitehOuse not only did not write
to that effect, but would have no authority
to do. SO. When sentence is passed the
jurisdiction of a judge over prisoner
ceases and he has no more authority over
him than a private citizen. The sheriff is
held responsible for the safe keeping Of all
prisoners entrusted to him, and if he allows
them unusual privileges it is at his own
risk.
There is no disposition on the part of any
one to persecute Mr. Staples Justice Pow
ers and Whitehouse were informed of the
helpless condition of his wife and took that
into considerat ion in imposing sentence.
Should a pardon be granted it would not
affect this individual case only, but would
estsblish precedent that must surely
prove troublesome in the future.

To the Subscribers of the Shoe Factory
Fund:
You are requested to meet at the Memorial
Building Thursday evening, Feb. Is, 1906
to consider the enlargement of the Shoe
Factory
j. n. HOWES,

In response to this notice, and despite the
prevailing snow storm, goodly number of
citizens assembled in the court room,
Memorial building, last Thursday evening
and Mr.. James II. HOwes, in the absence Of
the other trustees, stated the object of the
meeting. When Leonard & Barrows took
the shoe factory four years ago, among
other considerations it was agreed that
they should be paid the sum of $1,000
annually if their pay roll amounted to $75,-
600 per annum for five years, and if they
remained for another five years they were
to receive like amount. 1t is known that
their pay roll has exceeded the stipulated
sum each year and that last year it render
ed total of nearly $4,000. They are
working now to the full capacity of the
building, and to increase their output
must have additional room. The land be-
tween the present building and the street,
not heretofore available, recently became
the property of the owners of the factory,
and will permit of an extension of about 65
feet in length. Leonard & Barrows ask
for this extension, which they will equip
with the necessary machinery, and will
then guarantee pay roll of not less than
$4,000 per annum. If for any reason they

MUNICIPAL POLITICS.

The Republicans of Rockland have nomi-
mated Gardner l.. Farrand for mayor. Mr..
Farrand has served in both branches of the
city government and has also represented
Rockland in the legislature.
In the Republican caucus in Auburn,
Thursday, for the nomination of candi-
date for mayor, Alderman Irving L. Merrill
defeated Alderman James F. Larrabee by
a plurality of 73 The entire number Of
votes cast was 679.
There was a conference in Augusta Feb.
10th between the Republican and Demo-
cratic city committees and the committee
on honest government and pure elections
from the board of trade, at which an agree
ment was signed by all the chairmen to the
effect that liquor, or money, not even
carriages, would be used at the forthcoml-
ing municipal election, and that each
committee three days after election
should file bill of expenses. Although the
spring election is close at hand, no mayor
atty candidate is yet in sight in either party,
very unusual circumstance for that city.
Rodney l. Thompson, a lawyer of Rock
land, was nominated for mayor by the
Democrats Monday evening. Mr.. Thomp-
son was the party candidate for mayor two
years ago.

has been nominated for mayor of Bangor
ten times in straight Republican caucuses,
once in an independent caucus. He car
ried the Republican caucus Monday by a
vote of 7O3, beating Dr.. Daulel A. Robinson
Gus, with several side features that stirred
up interest and plenty OF enthusiasm. The
result was greeted with typical Bea! cheer
and now the winner Of eight elections is
out against Mayor William B.. Peirce,
whom the Democrats will renominate on

A resolution favoring resubmission of
the prohibitory amendment to the people
was ruled out of order.
