Another ordinance passed at the

to make a monthly statement of his

provides that the books of the treas

We believe the changes will meet
with the approval of the citizens OF
Ellsworth, who will thus be kept in

The Bridge Bills.

Petitions in favor of the Donigan
bridge bill are pouring into the legis-
lature. Under the Donigan bill the
State would take over all bridges over
forty feet in length and pay all the
bills for building, repairs and main
tenance. Under the Sargent bridge
bill, which is also before the legis-
lature, the State would take over all
bridges over ten feet in length, have
all supervision over them, and the
cost would be divided equally between
State, county and town.
The Donigan bill appeals most
strongly to the people of this section
of the State. State supervision of
bridges is in line with State improve
ment of highways, but it seems to us
that the time is hardly yet ripe for
State supervision of bridges as small
as ten feet. The additional expense
and red-tape involved by State super
vision of bridges which are hardly
more than culverts, seems hardly
justified. The division of expense in
wolves further complications.
Both the bridge bills, we believe,
are in the right direction, but the
Donigan bill is the more conservative
OF the two. We believe it would be
well to give it a trial first, and let tn e
towns retain for time the manage
ment OF their smaller bridges, instead
OF asking them to surrender their
management, but not their liability
for expenditures thereon.

Enforcement LEGISLATION !.

The republican members of the
legislature in caucus last evening are
reported as having decided upon a
program for legislation relating to the
prohibitory law. This program in
wolves:
1)-The passage of a bill authoriz-
ing the governor to remove delin-
Quent county attorneys and appoint a
member of the same political party to
MI any vacancy. This is to be pre-
scented to the legislature without the
referendum clause, and will undoubt-
eddy be carried.
(2EThe submission OF constitu-
tional amendment authorizing the
governor to remove delinquent sheriffs
and to fill the vacancy from the same
political party to which the deposed
official belongs. This is to be sub
mitted to the people, il it passes both
houses by the necessary two-thirds
vote, at special election to be held
next September.
(3)-The repeal of the Sturgis law,
TO take effect upon the ratification OF
the constitutional amendment giving
the governor power to remove dere-
bet sheriffs.
OF course the object of this proposed
legislation is the proper enforcement
Of the prohibitory law. To this the
republican party is committed; it is
what is demanded by an overwhelm-
ing public sentiment, and the people
Of Maine don't care much what the
method of enforcement is 80 long as it
is effective.
The Sturgis law, whether wise or
uuwise, is clearly unpopular, but the
purpose for which it was intended is
just as much the purpose of the people
of Maine now as it was when the Stur-
gis law was passed. What is de-
manded Is enforcement, and it is the
duty of the dominant party to supply
that demand without equivocation or
evasion.
Results are what is wanted; opin-
ions may differ as to how best to at
tain them, but after all that has been
said thus far during this term Of the
legislature, it would seem that the
program above quoted meets fairly
we'll the divergent views Of the re-
pubEcans, for, according to report, il
was finally adopted in caucus without
. dissenting vote.

BAR HARBoR's LOBBY.

1t is not always the big matters which
stir up the greatest interest. Sometimes
little thing will make more trouble
than some really big and important
thing which is causing interest to degree
greater than its real importance to the
State is the movement to make Bar Harbor
immune from automobiles.
1t must be remembered that Bar Harbor,
more than any other place in Maine, and
by Bar uarbor is meant Mt. Desert island,
is the home Of some OF the wealthiest
to do thing they provide the ways and
means Of doing it.
This automobile bill interests the sum-
mer cottagers of Bar Har Dor to the extent
that they have employed some of the
smoothest propositions in Maine to lobby
for the passage of their bill. II there is
any man who hasn't been interviewed
three or four times by these smooth
gentlemen about this proposed measure,
he has been too busy to talk with them
When they found, for example, that some
man from the western part OF the State
was not disposed to be favorable to the
proposition, they imported two gentle
men from Portland who came here for
the sole and express purpose of camping
on the trail OF some of them until they
landed their men.
Such lobby as this little measure has
maintained at Augusta up to this time
would be large enough to engineer some
OF the most important measures to be
considered by this Legislature. Even the
big railroads have no such lobby here as
has appeared for the Bar Harbor bill. By
their very activity in the matter the
lobbyists are defeating the thing they
aim to accomplish. With so many good
fellows around with their pockets filled
with cigars and with a glad hand, and
all of them on the lookout for the same
thing, the timid members become suspi-
cious of the proposition. The summer cot
tager who planned this campaign thought
he was going up against the New York
assembly or Congress, for the preparations
which have been made seem to be al
together out of proportion to what
is to be accomplished.-Augu Core

time during the day, it is s matter OF only
few minutes, as q rule, to arrange for the
conversation. And such conversations are
held by the thousand every day between
the divers members of Congress and others.
However, Senator Hale never was much
enamored OF the telephone, and neither
was Senator Frye, as is the case with q
number Of the older senators who prefer
conversation face to face. hui the facil-
titles save q vast deal OF time day in and
day out.
OF recent days Senator Hale and Repre-
sentative Burleigh have been laboring to-
are conferees. Both will feel relieved
when that legislation is completed SO that
the authorities can go ahead with the Sc
lection of extra employees and with other
preparations for taking the census, begin
ming year from this spring. They are
leading members of the respective census
committees of the Senate and House.
Decided differences of opinion frequently
develop regarding the methods of taking a
census, as important and comprehensive
as decennial census. These differences
have to be adjusted in large part at the
capitol, and require time and patience.
The census bill now going to the Presi-
dent for his signature has been under
consideration at intervals for more than q
year.
Representative Burleigh is also aiding
this winter in the framing of small ON
nibus public buildings bill which will
carry no appropriations. 1t will not be
acted upon by the House till late in the
session. The measure is for the purpose
OF adjusting matters that have developed
in connection with public building opera
tions since the big omnibus bill was
passed a year ago. Some communities
want changes in provisions OF the last
years law, and when this can reasonably
be done Congress is willing to grant the
requisite authority. But it involves con-
siderable careful investigation. Repre-
sentative Burleigh and other members OF
his committee devote . lot Of time to such
cases.
