! The Times and Democrat has no
apologies to make for criticising
Champ Clark or any other Democrat
for violating the Democratic National

for that lumber duty have reversed
themselves by voting for free lum-

The Times and Democrat has no
particular candidate for president or
any other office that it would attempt
to force upon the people. They are
competent Judge, and whoever they
may select as the standard bearer of
the party will be the candidate Of
The Times and Democrat. That is
why this newspaper is friendly to all
leading Democrats. We do not know
who the people may select as the can

to victory, and we want to be in po-

name him.

rial to replace it. This diversion OF
money and labor and materials from the
task of adding to the store OF the
worlds wealth to occasional tasks OF
simply replacing needlessly consumed
wealth, means that the market must
take up the extra burden of expense
and redistribute it more or less pro.
portionately to every one that has to
buy. We will all have to pay some
part of that Bangor fire loss before we
get through with it.
And the pity of it is that this IS only
one Of many similar economic burdens
that are heaped upon the ultimate con,
sumer' by the shiftless methods of this
country in respect to fires and fire pro-

put up inhammable buildings because

il would cost something TO institute
systematic inspection and compel abso-

in that it must be admitted that New

a vital interest in the development of

derstands the present movement, it is
directed more particularly toward Sc
curing that result which is brought out
by the contemporary, because the Yer

TRYING ONES OWN CASE IN NEWS
PAPERS.

TRYING ONES OWN CASE IN NEWS-
PAPERS.
A rather peculiar custom is permis-
sible in New York City in the case Of
men who are accused of criminal offense.
The custom is for accused men to try
their own eases, in anticipation of the
formal court trial, by means Of a long
signed statement to the public press,
setting forth the accused persons side
of the case at issue. The evident in
tention of these statements is to pre-
judice public opinion in favor Of the ac-
cused, or at least to sweep away some
of the prejudice which may have gath
cred against the accused, SO that the
trial itself win go more lightly with
the accused, if such course is pos
sible.
Perhaps there is no law to suppress
the practice, but it would seem more
sensible to forbid this appeal to pub
lie opinion in the cases of persons who
are indicted for criminal offenses, mas
much as the appeals are quite apt to
give only one side of the case because
of the eagerness of the accused to Sc
cure popular sympathy for themselves.
Prejudices, thus made, might make it
far harder to get exact justice when
the cases are brought before the proper
tribunal when the evidence on both sides
is presented in the usual manner. Then,
again, some of the statements of the
persons accused are so ridiculously
biased that they appeal to the risibil.
tiles of their readers rather than to
their minds, thus defeating the evident
purpose back of them. However, in
either event the publishing of the state
ments seems improper.
