State Roads.

We print this week a communica-
ton from State Highway Commits
sioner Paul D. Sargent in reply to an
article and editorial on State roads in
last weeks AMERICAN.
Commissioner Sargent calls atten-
ton to two errors in the contributed
article of last week--frst, that the
new law does not make it compulsory
for towns to appropriate money for
State roads, though it is compulsory
for towns to appropriate money for
permanent road work; second, under
the new law, the towns cited in last
weeks article would receive State aid
to the amount of $54, instead OF S32. 46
as stated.
Commissioner Sargent, however,
admits the faultiness of the law in the
one feature to which THE AMERICAN
raised the principal objection; i. e.,
that the law does not allow the poorer
towns to receive as much State aid as
formerly, and because of this, would
result in less State road work. This
feature Of the law, Commissioner
Sargent says, will undoubtedly be
amended by the next legislature.

Sunday Closing.
Alta meeting of the Ellsworth city
government last Thursday evening,
the petition of the clergymen of Els
worth for the closing osstores on Sun
day was granted, and it was voted to
instruct the city marshal to enforce
the statute regarding Sunday closing.
The municipal officers could do moth
ing else-they had no discretion in
the matter; their attention was called
to violation Of the law which had
been couutenanced by the authorities
fcr some time, and they were in duty
bound to order it's observance.
The movement for Sunday closing
vas the result of combined and con-
.certed action on the part Of the cler-
gynen Of the city. 1t originated in
meeting OF the clergymen held to dis
>cuss plans for the usual union Thanks
giving service. In the general dis.
scussion of the affairs of the city, the
moral welfare of which it is their duty
.ss-ministers to guard, the matter OF
open stores ON Sunday came up, and
the petition to the city government
followed.
30 much for the movement and its
.origin it was not the work Of any
sone man or two men; it was not
prompted by malice or antagonism
toward any individual or individuals,
but merely in the interests OF the
public veal.
It was not the intention of the Pc
titioners to ask anything unreason-
able, or to demand any ultra Puri-
tanical enforcement of the Sunday
law. They recognized the fact that
the so-called blue laws, which have
survived on our statute books as q
relic Of past age, have to large
degree outlived their usefulness.
But they did see in the open stores
on Main street every Sunday a
fragrant and unnecessary violation OF
the law, and, in their Office as clergy
men, they called a halt. In this we
lelieve they have the support Of
every right thinking citizen of Els
worth. More than that, most of the
men who have been opening their
stores on Sunday, expressed them
selves as being entirely willing to
close il all would close.
But what has been the result? No
action of the city government in
recent years has caused so much talk,
though, traced to its source, it all
comes down to very narrow circle.
Abuse entirely unwarranted has been
heaped upon the clergymen.
Under the pretext of s'giving them
What they WANT, very thinly-veiled
attempt is being made to make the
Sunday closing movement ridiculous.
Talk of such radical measures as forbid
ding the undertakers to conduct fun
erals on Sunday, or the livery men to
let teams for funerals or for any other
purpose, or the milkman to deliver
milk on Sunday-all this and much
more of like character is inspired by
this attempt to bring the Sunday
closing movement into disfavor with
the public.
We say again that we believe the
movement for Sunday closing. within
the reasonable bounds contemplated
sby the petitioners, has the support of
the best elements of the city, and we
believe the attempt to make it
eabortive will not only fail, but will re-
act on these who, posing as extreme
reformers, seem to be doing their ut
most to make reform impossible,
