making drunkards has gone on neverthe-
less, and laws have been passed to re-
strict the sale of liquors and take away
some of the temptations that would in
duce men to drink. We are not arguing
that the laws against selling liquor, and
the laws for enforcing those laws, are
the best that could be done, but we do
claim that it is not by lack of an effort to
create public sentiment against intern
perance that it has not resulted in great
er advance. And we do not believe that
repeating the Sturgis law, or the prohibit
tory law, and passing license law, will
improve the situation any, any more than
repeating the laws against other kinds of

Cats and Dogs on British Ships.

There is law in regard to what con-
stitutes an abandoned vessel in Great
Britain which states that nothing shall
be considered wreck out of which cat
or dog escapes alive. This grew out
of the fact that many years ago wreck
ed vessel, like many other things, belong
ed to the King. But innumerable legal
bubbles arose as to just what degree of
injury or abandonment constituted
wreck. To settle these the above law
was placed on the statute books, the out
come of which has been that there is not
a vessel coasting about the British
Isles without cat or dog mas
cot on board. Whether those nav
igating it like cats or not, puss
is as secure in her place as any of the
crew, and for which she renders no SER
vice unless she chooses to catch an occa-
sional rat or a mouse for her own amuse-
ment, as she is we'll fed and doesn't have
to.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT VS. INTEMPERANCE
Governor Plaisted in his inaugural said

Governor Plaisted in his inaugural said:
eff small part of the energy which has
been expended in our State in an attempt to
lessen the evils of intemperance by law had
been directed to the creation of a strong pub
lie sentiment against intemperance greater
advance would have been made. Instead of
relying upon the good judgment and intelli-
gence of our fellow citizens, and their desire
to make the most Of life and its opportunities,
we have pursued the false course of relying
upon law"
But has there been time when there
has not been efforts to make a public
sentiment against intemperance? There
have been temperance societies for the
past fifty years engaged in the work, the
churches have stood for it, and of late
years the public schools have been in
structed in the injuries that Intoxicating
liquors do to the health. These efforts
have doubtless saved good many from
becoming drunkards, but the work of

regiments in the Civil war When the
old State house was demolished, the flags
by order of the commission were stored
in room on the fourth floor where they
now repose in their cases. Rep. Mace
made speech in which he declared that
both parties would unite in asking that
the flags be returned to the rotunda at
once because of the lessons in patriotism
which they inculcated. t'They can not be
seen too much,' the order says. The
motion that the order be given its two
readings at once under suspension of the
rules was made by Mr.. Hersey of Houl-
ton. The motion carried and the order
was passed and sent to the senate for
concurrence. The flags are tattered and
in many places rent with bullet holes.
The utmost care is necessary for their
preservation. The cases they formerly
reposed in were air tight and it will be
necessary that they be handled most
carefully when returned to their new
resting place.
The session of the legislature Thurs
day morning was not lengthy one al
though number of important measures
were introduced in both house and SEN
ate. Adjournment was taken at the
close of the morning session until 4.30
O'Clock on Monday, Jan. 23d. There is
really very little for the legislature to
do until the committees are ready to
report on the measures before them.
The past year has been by far the
most successful year in the history of
State road building in Maine, according
to the annual report of State Highway
Commissioner Paul D. Sargent. A total
expenditure of S428, 638 was made during
the year on State aid and trunk line
roads of which the State furnished SILL
4S1. A total of 33 miles of State aid
road and 7.99 miles of trunk line road
were completed during the year. From
the 1910 appropriation of 1921, 1859, which
was three-fourths of mile on State val
uation, there is an unexpended balance
of S102, SIS besides 81, LOG balances from
1908 and 1909, available for improvement
of Maine thoroughfares.

Congressman Swasey's Prediction.

In recent address before the W. C. T. U. Of
Washington, D. c., Congressman Swasey gave
the most conclusive proofs of the fact that
"prohibition does prohibit in Maine." He re-
viewed the matter from the beginning and
showed the amount of liquor imported and
manufactured in the State in the old days,
when every general store sold rum, people
were poor, and drunkenness was common. He
asserted that now all is changed-the people
are prosperous, rum sellers are convicted, and
there is more money in the banks than there
are voters; he predicted that the bone and
sinew of Maine would stand by the p1ohibitory
law.
