The State Legislature.

The Legislature, having completed
all business before it, adjourned with.
out day, on Wednesday evening
about 1870 o'clock, having been II
session since the I'd day of January
The sensation of the day was the veto
of the bill repeating the Sturgis bill
which was sent to the House in the
afternoon by Gov. Cobb. Both
branches had repealed the Sturgi,
bill. The veto was accompanied by
the following message
To the Honorable House Of Representa-
tives
have examined House bill entitled
An aet TO repeal Chapter 90 Of the laws
Of 1905, entitled an at to provide for
the better enforcement Of the laws

turn same herewith without my approval.
This bill seeks to repeal that piece Of
legislation mmonly known as the
Sturgis law. was nominated f3r and
elected to the office of Governor by a
political patty that in its platform made
the following declaration:
Good citizenship seeks the enforce
ment of all law at all times-nullheation

substituting any similar or equally efec-
tive measure, lakes from the executive

position and therefore decline 10 sign
the bill.
WILLIAM T. COBB,

March as
After the message was read, tn,
House reconsidered its vote whereof,
the bill was passed to be enacted
Speaker Powers came down from tn,
chair, and addressed his associat,
Republicans on their duty to sustain
the position of Governor.
The question, after further remark
was then put, "shall the bill become
law, Notwithstanding the Governor
obiections?o The vote was taken b.
yeas and nays, and resulted; Yea 81
nay 5S. So the Governors veto wa
sustained, it requiring two-third
vote to overthrow it. When tn,
measure came to the Senate, tina
body also sustained the veto by
vote of: Yea 10, nay 8.
Mr., Heselton's bill to shake up am
overhaul the liquor agencies was lost
So the liquor agencies remain un
changed for the next two years
Votes of thanks were passed to TIN
officers passed in both branches, an,
the kindest of words uttered. Man,
friendships were begun which wi
last for life. President Allen of tn

Speaker Powers received from tn
admiring members, a mahogany hal
clock, built in the style of 'our grand
fathers clock,o the carved oak chat

gavel he had SO impartially used.
Of course there was the mock ses
sion during the waiting periods, bu
instead of the rough and tumble time
of the past, throwing things AM

1t is urged that the Maine legisla-
ture cannot consistently raise the
salary of State uperintendent of
schools 81 900 a year until it is clear
that man worth the increased salary
is to occupy the office-we believe the
Governor will see to that The
House voted to raise the salary 81 geo
on the assumption that a man would
be appointed who would be worth the
money. There are several gentlemen
in Maine who are we'll worth the Job.
We have cited one who is widely
known and esteemed for his special
knowledge, level head and high char
acter, the present superintendent of
schools in Auburn.
The resolve SO to amend the consti-
tuition as to give the Governor power
to remove sheriffs who in his opinion
are in revolt against the law. has
failed for want of the necessary two
thirds majority. In the early history
of the State the Governor and Council
were constitutionally empowered to
appoint attorney generals, sheritfs.

judicial officers, coroners and notaries
public, and tenure of Office was al the
pleasure of the Governor and Coun-
ell; but in 1857 the sheriff was made
elective. When we get the referend :
um Loyalty in application, sheritfs will
obey their Oaths of office because the
people will not then tolerate insurg-
enee against the law. The trouble
now is that the law is unpopular in
the cities and popular in the country
towns, but referendum would bring
the country town so to the front, as
to force sheriffs under public opinion
no longer to obey the order of rebel
hous cities. As matters now stand g..
public opinion Is compromised, since
many men accept prohibition as a
dead letter who would like to see it
enforced if resubmissiOn endorsed the
prohibitory system as it Will not if re
submission is much longer denied.
BY resubmission the last pretext will
be removed from those sheritfs who
allege that notification is what the
people want.
In 1873 Governor Dingley in his in
augural. comphmented the average
efficiency of sheritfs and county at
torneys in their work to enforce the
law against rum shops. He cited the
fact that no Wilful refusal or neglect
was then in evidence and. for this
reason he thought there vas no
ground for removal of sheriffs by ad
dress or by impeachment. Yet Gov
ernor DingleN said there was then
failure TO do all in their power 10 Sc

that as sheritts and county attorneys

the law could be secured not 10y a
new constitution amendment BY en-
