having been read to him at the con-
ference last Tuesday with Governor

been laxity in the State commission.

Griffen retracted his charge and said
the report convinced him that the
board had been active and that ad-
verse criticism directed toward it was
unjustified.

Freak eggs of various sizes and
shapes have been produced by hens
in this section since spring arrived but
tie frcakicst one yet was brought In
to the Journal office yesterday by +.
NJ Rowe of East Winthrop. The egg
was Il small one. being about the size
of a pigeons egg. but the curious fea-
ture about it was that it might be said
to have been laid wrong side out. with
the content; outside the shell. What
was apparently the yolk was dried on
ore end of the shell. and the whole
shell was covered with the albumen
or white" of the egg. This latter part
was hard and had every appearance
of having been boiled. There is moth
ing in the history of the domestic hen
to date that credits her with laying
boiled eggs. but the egg in question
indicated that such feat is at least
a possibility.

Initiative and Referendum i.

During the year just passed we have
adopted the initiative and referendum
by the vote of the people. This secures
to the voter a power which as yet he
hardly appreciates, and which yet has to
be tested Under this, there can be small
complaint at inability, either to sound
public sentiment or to participate in
general legislation.
And now, gentlemen, members Of the
seventy-fourth Maine legislature, in your
care these issues are placed. I proffer
them not in a spirit of self assertion
but as issues which l believe demand
your attention, If Maine is to keep up in
the procession of her neghboring states
The people will forgive honest mistakes
but they never can and never should for
give wiful misrule. I do not sickle for
methods. I but plead for measures, deep
laid in Justice and in right. 1 do not
ask you to follow absolutely in my way,
but ask you to follow in some way that
leads into avenues of progress and re-
form. do not ask you to do violence to
your party or your affiliations, but I do
ask you to remember that higher than
you or your party or your friendships, is
your duty to the state and, in the fear
OF God and In resnect OF that duty. must
