A man from Michigan who was in Bel
fast recently was boasting of the pros,
perity of his home place. He said that
with a population of 1000 it had three
banks with aggregate deposits Of $3.50,
900. He was somewhat surprised when
the local business man to whom he made
this statement remarked that Belfast
with population of about G, 900 has three
banks with aggregate deposits exceeding
three million dollars. Yet it is not so
very many years ago when Belfast had
only one bank with deposits of $3.50, 900
to $780, 900. This great increase is due
to advanced methods in banking, the
greater inducements offered to deposi-
tors, and to judicious advertising Some
months ago The Journal published in the
local columns an item concerning the
banks in a city in the State of Washing
ton. Their deposits only aggregated a
few hundred thousand dollars when they
began systematic advertising campaign
and the result was an increase in de-
posits similar to that which has taken
place in Belfast. While the money in
our local banks attests the prosperity of
Waldo county people it should be stated
that the banking facilities offered here
have attracted many depositors from out
side the county.
For the fifth time Samuel D. Haynes,
who is serving a life sentence in the
State prison for murder, has been re-
fused pardon, the Governor and council
at their session last Saturday giving the
petitioners leave to withdraw. No other
decision could have been expected. The
only surprising feature Of the case is that
so many men of standing and influence
signed the petitions for pardon. They
must have done so without informing
themselves as to the record of the pris-
oner and the nature of his crime, which
has been falsely represented as man
slaughter, while the evidence shows it
to have been premeditated murder.
Perhaps their sympathies may have been
aroused without their giving a second
thought to the consequences of thus null
lifying the laws and the setting of dan
gerous criminal at large. Haynes was
convicted of one murder, is strongly sus-
pected of another, and has threatened to
kill those concerned in his arrest and
prosecution if released. This accomplish
ed there would be no additional penalty.
1t is to be expected that men who have
been violators of law and incurred its
penalties, or successfully evaded them,
would sympathize with brother crimi-
nal; and that has been the case in this
matter as in others of less magnitude.

Enforcing the law proves costly, ~
saws an exchange in reporting the amount
the Sturgis commission has cost the
State. Of course. But why not reckon
slp the cost of building and maintaining
z,ourthouses and jails, the salaries paid
70 Judges and other court officials, to
sheriffs. deputies and policemen. This
expense is all chargeable to enforcing
the law. Can we well dispense with this
class Of officials? Would the laws en-
force Themselves?

The government crop report Indicates
a record yield of corn and wheat and
oats harvest well above the average, all
of which, at prospective prices, will give
the growers the largest amount of money
ever received in any one year. From
the governments figures it is figured
chat corn crop of 3,161, ia, 600 bushels
is in sight. If this amount is harvested,
this year will mark the first occasion in
the country's history when a corn crop
mas exceeded 5000, 900, 900 bushels. The
nearest approach to that figure was in
1906, when 1927, 900, 600 bushels were
harvested.
We are glad to print the communica-
ton from "A Citizen of Brooks in refu-
tation of the ISLANDERS upon that worthy
and enterprising town. Our object in
printing the paragraph from the report
Of the Friends yearly meeting in Port
land was to bring it to the attention of
the good people of Brooks that they
might take such action as they deemed
best We might from personal knowl-
edge of the place and people have ex-
posed the absurdity and falsity of the
statements made; but preferred that the
people should speak for themselves, as
they have done through one Of their
prominent citizens.

Gov. Burleigh is keeping up with a
considerable quota of daily mail and also,
through the various newspapers publish
ed throughout his district, keeping in
formed about the interests and activities
of his constituents. Many Congressman,
when the weather gets hot and work be-
comes unusually irksome, shirk their
newspaper mail during the summer
months. Gov. Burleigh still finds the
third district papers worth reading and
occupies quite portion of every morn
ing going over the pile of these publica-
tons that the mail brings to his desk.
The smaller papers, including the
weekly issues, at the county seats and in
other towns, carry deal of information
which does not get into the dailies. Of
course Congressman has many CORE
spondents who tell him by letters they
write on variety of topics much that
he wants to know about the things his
constituents are interested in. But a
Congressional district comprises on the
average about 100000 people and the
Representative who keeps in touch with
such large body Of his fellow citizens
must have many avenues Of information.
The small newspapers are exceedingly
helpful in that direction.
