TIE journal prints on another page
very interesting article by Frank s.
Forbes, ESQ. on the eucalyptus tree.
The Los Angeles News, in which the ar
ticle originally appeared, says OF it: ut
.ris-les with information about this Won
rful tree and its perusal amounts al
to an education on the subject. "
something of coincidence that in
the same issue appears the first Of a
series of articles on the Philippines by
another native of Brooks, Vesta Davis

reresting articles to our columns. Z. 5.

Section Al, chapter ~ OF the Revised
Statutes reads as follows:
Whoever by himself, clerk, servant or
agent, sells any Intoxicating liquors in
this State, in violation of law, shall pay
fine Of not less than fifty dollars and
costs, and in addition thereto be impris-
oned thirty days. In default of such pay
ment he shall be imprisoned thirty days
additional, and on each subsequent con-
viction he shall be punished by fine of
two hundred dollars and in addition there
to be imprisoned six months, and in de-
fault of payment of said fine and costs,
he shall be imprisoned six months ad-
ditional. Any clerk, servant, agent or
other person in the employment or on
the premises of another, who violates or
In any manner aids or assists in violating
any provision of law relating to intoxi-
eating liquors, is equally guilty with the
principal and shall suffer like penalties.
With this law enforced liquor selling
in Maine would be neither profitable nor
possible. There would be no need of
Sturgis deputies, and the costs of prose-
cution would be reduced to minimum.
But this section of the Revised Statutes
is nullifed by section l, chapter 1876, in
which the following amendment was in
serted, presumably with that end in view:
"When it is provided that he shall be
punished by Imprisonment and fine or by
imprisonment or fine, or by fine and 3
addition thereto imprisonment, he may
be sentenced to either or both - 1t is
this clause which makes each individual
justice of the supreme court a law unto
himself, so that we may have, and have
had, free rum, license or local option
under prohibition. Under section al,
chapter 20, rum-sympathizing county
attorney could not enable notorious
offender to go free. With perhaps a
score of offences against them do we
ever hear Of punishment for second
offence? Senator Hastings of Oxford
has introduced in the Senate a, measure
to repeal the part quoted from section l,
chapter 1856; and if this is done it will put
an end to notification, to much adverse
criticism of the courts; and, we believe,
to the illegal sale of liquor in Maine.
Whoever breaks law should be punish

The estimates of State expenditures
required for the next two years as SUD-
nitted by the State auditor are given on
another page. and their amount, which is
more than third over the appropriations
for TIE past two years, has caused pro-
lorg45 howl from a certain portion OF the
Democratic press. Those who are dis
posed to Join in this demonstration should
he reminded that estimates and appro-
nr;ations are two different things. The
DEPARTMENTS and institutions submit estl-
mates Of the amounts they consider nee
assarv to carry on their work; but it de-
wolves upon the Legislature to examine
the items and decide how much or how
little is really needed. Two years ago
the Democratic stump speakers had
much to say of Republican extravaganza;
but the appropriations were passed WIN
out opposition or protest from the Demo-
;,rats of the House and Senate.
The Democratic party is party OF
obstruction. 1t is almost invariably found
opposing every movement for moral or
material advancement Here in Maine
we witnessed last week an attempt to
punish their party leader in the House
of Representatives because he so far
departed from the policy and usage of
his party as to present measure IN no
sense political one, but designed to de-
yeIoD the resources of the State and thus
add TO it's prosperity 1t was bill to
rebate the taxes on the Bangor and
Aroostook railroad providing they build
an extension through the Allegash region
"a plain business proposition, to be con-
siderad on its merits. but which runs
s.o15r4er to the Democratic policy OF OBJ
structing anything and everything that
does not originate with itself and is cal
culated to serve party ends. This extern
sion would open to numbering region
whose product would not otherwise be
available: would create taxable property
along its line in mills, factories andtdWel-
Iings. and in this way return to the State
much more than the amount OF the tax
it is proposed to abate. Without the
railroad this section must remain will
derness, taxable only as wild lands. Then
the construction and operation OF the
road would give employment-.to1 many
and thus contribute materially to the
general prosperity. The history.of most
railroad enterprises will show that they
have received aid in some form-in land
or money grants or subscriptions to stock
and without such aid many.sections of
the country would be without railroad
facilities today and with their resources
undeveloped.

ticles on which there has been prac-
tically no change are those in the
wooden and cotton schedules. Upon
the very highest and most expensive
classes of these goods, many OF
which were unknown to commerce
at the time the Dingley law went
into effect and hence came in under
a lower rate of duty than they were
entitled to, probably there has been
an advance, but this advance would
not even then place the duty as
high as the duty on the same class
of duty under the Dingley law. The
change from an advalorem to spec
ific duty necessarily makes the du-
ties on some grades of an article a
little higher and some little lower,
computed upon a purely advalorem
basis.
If the people will just remember
that in every tariff bill there is al
ways cry that things have been
wonderfully raised and will wait
until they can compare, item by item,
the new law with the Dingley law,
they will find that the party pledge
will be kept in the spirit and in the
letter. They can rest assured that
the president will sign no bill that
does not keep chat pledge"

About the fimsiest reason given in
the bunch of reasons" why the COM
mission plan is not a good one for
the management Of cities is that no
oath of Office is required. In the
first place this is not true. An oath
is required. But suppose it wasn't?
The greatest gratis of the day are
perpetrated by those who have given
the loudest and subscribed to the
strongest oaths. If man isn't
right what good is his oath? II the
people-all. the really Interested and
thinking people-will take an inter-
est in politics at the right tfme-the
selection of candidates at the pri-
maries-we will have good govern
ment under almost any system, but
the simpler and more direct the bet
ter the system. The elimination of
wards and the management of the
city by five commissioners, each at
head of a department, under bonds
and answerable directly to the people
for his acts-no lodging around q
committee report-looks good to US
and so far it has worked out in Bis
marck and Mandan is preferable to
the old system. ~:

NAUGHTY MISS WINkED|
At MINISTER. HARVESTED

New York, July 22.-Rev. w. A.
Mortenson, of Chicago, Lutheran
clergyman, caused the arrest yester-
day of Lily Reisch, who by her own
word is a widow living in Nineteenth
street. The clergyman claimed that
the woman winked at him and also
smiled at him.
He went to the Yorkville police
court after the arrest and told mag
istrate Kernochan that he is on a
visit to this city. He was walking
on Third avenue when, he said, the
woman made an attempt to get ac-
quainted with him.
did she speak to you?" asked the
magistrate. -
"She said something, but 1 didn't
catch the words" said the pastor.
II stopped to look at my notebook
for an address l wanted and she
turned around and again annoyed
me. I thought my garb ought to
protect me from any such annoy
ance."
The woman declared she had
neither winked nor smiled. She
wept and said she had two children
at home, whereupon the clergyman
informed the magistrate If that was
the case he would not like to see her
punished.
Magistrate Kernochan then dis
charged her.

insurance premiums. Therefore,
this attempt to penalize success will
first be felt in the northwest and in
the other newer states, where there
is more expense in procuring policy
holders than in the populous east;
and, when all of the big, strong and
consequently safe companies shall
have reached the maximum of bust
ness, which will happen before long,
person wanting insurance with
which to safeguard those near and
dear to him must perforce take
policy in one of the minor and weak
err companies. This New York life
insurance law is certainly an object
lesson as to the evils of paternal
legislation"
