AMOS JOHNSON is FREE
ON BOND OF $500
On Charge Of Shooting Negro
MCLeDdOn

Amos Johnson, the young man who
killed the negro, Ben McLendon, he%
Wednesday afternoon, was given a
committal trial yesterday morning be-
fore Justice udson and released from
custody upon the nominal bond of $500
on a charge Of manslaught er.
The bond was quickly given, and
young Johnson again walked forth TO
freedom, after having spent one night
in custody
Mr.. Johnsons brief statement Of
the tragedy made it appear that his
act was one of self-defense.
He told of a previous difficulty
with the negro, McLendon, when the
latter threw a brick at him in his
(Johnson's) store He also said that
the meeting Wednesday in the alley
was unexpected, as he was hurrying
to the Clark & Johnson garage, when
he met McLendon.
The negro Immediately hurled 4
brick at young Johnson, who then
drew his pistol and fired.
Shoot again, damn you," was Nc
Lendons reply to the first shot, at the
same time applying a vile epithet to
Johnson; one that no man would
take.
Then it was that the pistol got busy
in real earnest, three or four other
shots being fired.
Two of these struck McLendon IN
the breast, and from these wounds he
died in a few minutes Messrs. En-
glish, j. H. Beard and Walter Brown
also testified at the hearing yesterday
relative to what transpired afterward
None of these saw the fight in progress
or the details thereof.
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. John
sons statement of the tragedy he was
admitted to bail in the sum of $500 TO
the grand jury in May.

knows that Mr. Voter himself has all
ready regulated his own affairs SO that
outside interests could not come in and
control or corrupt the men whom Mr..
Voter sends to Augusta to make law.
That is what the constitutional amend
ment was for-to provide against the
interference with or the influence of
the men whom Mr. Voter elects.
The same red ink poster declares
that, IF the constitutional amendment
is repealed the Legislature may mod
ify the prohibitory system, subject to
the approval of the people but until
such action is taken. all the present
prohibitory law remains in fun force
and effect
AS we said before. that is the object
of the constitutional amendment, to
prevent the Legislature from modify
ing at the behest of the rum trust, the
laws which Mr.. Voter has so long APP
proved and maintained. In the face of
the constitutional amendment, the
liuqor wholesaler must deal directly
with Mr. Voter, instead of the smaller
number of lawmakers who represent
Mr.. Voter under statute law. With
the constitutional amendment removed,
as demanded by the liquor trust and its
friends. the laboring oar would be with
the people. whereas now it is with the
interests which are working to repeal
the amendment The amendment. last
year, saved Maine from license and
open saloons. II may perform this
same important service for Mr. Voter
at some future time, if he has the wis
dom to retain it.

their activity is second only TO that of

An examination of the prosecutions
under the pure food laws shows why

the Remsen board ruled in favor of
benzoate of soda, the fight against ben

Senator johnson on the Issue.

ttatmlngton Chronicle.D
The most unfortunate incident in the
campaign for prohibition which we
have Yet seen is the reported interview
or Senator Charles F. johnson. in
which he is stated to have opposed the
coming of Congressman Hobson TO
speak in The Maine campaign, on the
ground that Maine Democrats Rad Sc

Will not thank any Democrat to come
into the State and oppose them on
their winning issue,
This incident rapidly hastens the
drift which had already set in toward
creating partisan division on this great
moral question. AS the question came
before the people from the legislature
II was not a party question. The al
lignment of daily newspapers since
then has given it a strong partisan
bias, but the action of Senator johnson
is sure to fix the mark of craftsmanship
upon it. This is to be deplored, not
because ii argues success for the prop
ostion, for it does not, but because an
issue so distinctly moral ought not to
win any great party to its support In

Reputation by an indignant moral
constituency. George Fred Williams
was right when he advised the Demo
cratic leaders of Maine that they ought
to adopt some other issue than rum if
they would win the confidence of the
voters.
We believe Senator Johnson is
wrong, however. when he attributes
Democratic success is the attitude of
the party toward license. That had
been the attitude of the party for many
years. The same ching which elected

appealing To partisan support. There

Medical INSPECTION in Schools

President Robert j. Alley of the Uni
Yersity of Maine emphasizes the i'm
portance of medical inspection IN
schools in an article published in a re-
cent issue of the journal of Education
He says that one of the most striking
results of medical inspection, thus far,
is the proof that il was needed He
predicts that the time will not be far
distant when every school child in
America will be thoroughly examined
by competent and we'll trained
physician. Both the spoken and writ
ten utterances OF President Alley since
he became the head of the University
of Maine. for the most part, contain
sound, practical, common sense, and
there is little doubt that he will
prove worthy equal of other Maine
college presidents, who have been with
us longer.
