During the recent campaign in this
State it was asserted by the advocates
Of prohibition, and denied by those favor
ing license, that under license there was
as much violation of law as under pro-
aibition The former were supported by
facts that could not be gainsald, while
the latter We're simply attempting to de-
eeive TIE voters. In this connection an
item OF another page under the caption
Of '.Conditions Under License, - will be
found Of interest. 1t relates to ''the
many open violations of the liquor stat
ute" in Woburn. Mass, where Law En-
forcement league, formed Of substantial
citizers. has been organized to remedy ex-
lsting conditions. There is no politics in
the movement and it is intended to pros
acute all violators of the law without

Gov. Foss Of Massachusetts, has failed
to comply with the demand of the Secre-
tary Of State that he amend his election
expense return to conform with the law
ealing for detail, which he signed him
self ard it is believed that he has no in
tention Of doing it. The constitution
protects him from removal from Office,
notwithstanding his ignoring Of the law,
and he is apparently resting on that.
The only alternative left to the Secretary
of State will be to present the matter to
the attorney general. AS it happens,
there is no penalty and the only real eff
feet is q moral one-that the governor
has refused to comply with the law which
he signed and which he made feature
Of in his campaign. And Foss is the
governor of Massachusetts!

When the bids for State printing were

When the bids for State printing were
opened last summer it was found that
the Waterville Sentinel was the lowest
bidder on the greater part of the work
and the contract was awarded to the
Sentinel. In other words the Secretary
of the State made a contract with him
self as publisher of the Waterville Senti-
mel In plain violation of Section II of
Chapter 121 of the Revised Statutes,
which provides as follows:
mo trustee, superintendent, treasurer
or other person holding place of trust
IN any State Office or public institution of
the State, shall be pecuniarly interested,
directly or indirectly, in any contracts
made in behalf of the State or of the
institution in which he holds such place
of trust, and any contract made in viola
ton hereof is void: and if such officer or
person receives any drawbacks, presents,
gratuities or secret discounts to his own
use on account of such contracts, or from
the profits in any materials, supplies, or
labor, furnished or done for the State or
such institution, he shall be punished by
imprisonment for not more than year,
or by fine not exceeding $500"
1t would seem that that was plain
enough to be understood by any one, but
instead of canceling the contract at
once the Waterville Sentinel has con-
tinued to do the State printing. 1t was
announced that Governor Plaisted had
submitted the question August 9Th to
the Supreme court but "the final
draft was not made until October Both, !"
and the decision, given out November
18th. declares the contract with the
Waterville Sentinel void. The opinion
was given without dissenting voice and
contains the signatures of each Of the
eight justices, so that it can in no sense
be called partisan decision, as Justices
Bird, Haley and Hanson, the Democratic
members Of the bench, signed with the
others.
If this is not clear case of graft,
what is it?
Itappears that this illegal contract was
depended upon to keep the Sentinel
alive; and now Mr.. Davis declares in a
signed article in the editorial columns of
the issue November Goth that "a reor-
ganization and foreclosure by the bond
holders seems inevitable.

The Rockland Opinion, whose editor,
Oliver Otis, is Democratic war horse, a
member of the legislature and chairman
of one Of the leading committees in the
last legislative session, agrees with the
Lewiston Sun that the special session is
uncalled for and a mistake. His reasons
he sets forth in two column article
which the Portland Press has summarize
ed as follows:
He can see no consistency in legislating
prohibition out of the constitution on the
ground that it has no place there, if IL
cense and local option is to be put in.
Not that he has any objection to license
and local option; quite the contrary. But
he is fussy about consistency. AS a
member of the Legislature which passed
the resubmission resolve he denies that,
at least so far as he is concerned, there
was any idea of a special session to re-
ceive the report of the vote This rea-
son adduced by the Governor he appears
to regard as frivolous. Besides, he
looks askance at the proposition to give
local option to the cities and deny
it to the country towns. He does
not regard it as a square deal. AS to
the Governors plea that the election
laws need revision, he recalls the fact
that the present Legislature has already
considered that proposition and declined
to revise, and he doubts whether it has
changed its mind; while as to the ir-
Irregularities complained of, they were not
the fault of the laws but of officials, and
he does not see how tinkerng the laws is
going to cure ignorance and carelessness.
Mr.. Otis tears the Governors reasons
into flinders.

1t will devolve upon the legislature if
called in special session to elect sue
cessor to Senator Frye. The Federal
Constitution says on this point: IF vac
ancies Tin the Senate) happen by resigna-
ton, or otherwise, during the recess of
the Legislature of any State, the execu-
tive thereof may make temporary ap-
polntments until the next meeting of the
Legislature, which shall then fill such
vacancies" Last September Gov. Plais-
ted appointed Obadiah Gardner to fill the
unexpired term of the late Senator FRYE.
and that is until March 3, 1913. Will the
legislature, if called in extra session,
confirm this appointment, or elect some
one else? Is Obadiah Gardner worthy of
the honor, and does he represent the
people of Maine? He went to Columbus.
Ohio, to attend the meeting of the Ma
tlonal Grange and, November 18th, the
morning after his arrival, the Ohio State
Journal published an interview with him
in which he is reported to have said:
''Sane and thinking temperance people
didn't take part in the campaign. The
hoodlums and those who wanted to see
liquor sold in spite of law favored reten-
ton of the constitutional amendment
A majority of the people of Maine are
hoodlums or the allies of the violators of
law, according to Senator Gardner. In
this category he places the women who
wear the white ribbon, the clergy and
leading professional and business men of
the State. This is gross libel upon the
people of Maine, and it does not seem
possible that even Democratic legisla-
ture would continue such man in office.

Washington, March 17-Complaint
that Duluth is being Disseminated
against by the railroads of the north
west in favor Of Chicago. Minneapolis
and Milwaukee as grain handling
ports, was made today to the inter-
state commerce commission by the
Duluth board Of trade. The proceed
ing is instituted against the Great
Northern railway and many other
lines operating in the northwest.
1t is alleged the rates on grain.
grain products and seeds from SOUTH
ern Minnesota and southern North
Dakota to Duluth are excessive. un.
reasonable and unjust, and that they
are unduly preferential and discrimi-
natory in favor of Chicago, Minneapo-
lis and Milwaukee. 1t is averred that
the railroads, in the making Of these
preferential tariffs. have violated the
long and short haul provision of tho
existing law as they exact higher
freight charger from the Duluth grain
operators than they do from the op-
orators located at equi-distant points.
The commission is requested to ad-
just the alleged inequalities of rates
and to fix the same rates to Duluth
as are in effect to Minneapolis from
the grain territory mentioned.

Ireland's Patron Saint and the Work
He Accomplished For the Emerald Island

Although it is we'll known that
when the conversion Of the northern
countries Of Europe to Christianity
was systematically entered upon by
the early church women exercised a
remarkable influence in securing
proselytes, there is, strange to say,
no record Of any special work of the
kind done by them in ireland. While
Clotilda. the queen of the Franks,
carried the faith Of Clovis, and Ber-
tina. the queen Of Kent, and Gisella,
the queen Of Hungary, were leaders
In their own countries. no Celtic wo-
mans name ts SO identified. st. Pat
rick seems to have had the. chief
work, as he has the chief glory, in
connection with the first religious
training Of the Emerald Isle.
Sent to Ireland by Pope Celestine
In the early part Of the fifth century,
he confined his labors to no special
part OF the country, but visited every
chteftatn and province In turn. To a
Welsh invader who had carried away,
among other prisoners, many neo-
phytes and had committed many
atrocities in his raid st. Patrick ad-
dressed the only letter Of his author
ship known to be extant. This and
his Confessions" are the only au-
thenttc remains Of his literary work.
Both the birth and death Of st.
Patrick are involved in so much un-
certainty that, as is the case with 80
many heroes. the anniversary Of
either event must be fixed principal
ly by conjecture. Some authorities
give a latitude Of ten years from 377
as the probable time when he was
born, and opinions as to his death
place the time anywhere from the
year 460 to 493, thus giving him an
age from seventy-eight to much be-
yond a hundred years. If an authen-
tic date cannot be fixed upon there
may be some authority for the char
acteristically Irish assertion Of
James Whitcomb Riley. that

most chivalrous champion and friend

enemy which myth and art have &c

A dance on the village green OF
near the town pump is one of the
great features Of the day. Sham
rocks are worn by everybody, and the
little girls wear crosses made up OF
gayly colored ribbons on their right
arms, over which is pinned a sham
rock, denoting their loyalty to their
country and the church. Local ora
tors deliver patriotic addresses, boys
bet. on the annual donkey races,
priests preach long sermons on "the
glorious patron saint" the police
watch for revolutionary riots, and
careful mothers look out for Cupid's
plots, but withal there is a tradition
in ireland that more people fall in

are made than on all the other holi-
