There was a busy time with the

Hawthorne and Dueling.
1t has been thought by most of Haw-
thornes biographers that his theory Of
the fatality of acts was founded large
ly upon a tragic experience of his own
life. In the belief that a young lady
whom he well knew had been insulted
he challenged the supposed offender to
a duel, but was prevented from carry
ing out his purpose by his friends,
Pierce and Cilley, who showed him
that the supposed insult was entirely
mythical. A few years later Cilley
was himself challenged by political
enemy, and the fact that Hawthorne
had been willing TO 6gbt duel Is
said TO have persuaded him not to de-
cline, and his opponent killed him.

The Readers and the sIeepers.

How true it is that it is impossible
to please everybody! In spite of the
millions spent, and the magnificence
of the structure. there is a class of
people who are disgruntled over New
York's wonderful new public library.
They recognize that the structure cost
100000, and is in reality a book city
in itself; that it is equipped with SO
miles of shelves, capable of holding
100000 volumes. and that in itself
the problem of handling such an array
of books is one of great magnitude.
They recognize that this great work
has been underway ten years, and
vans have toiled back and forth from
Astor place to AID street laden with
cargoes of books. They admit that
for years before that the library staff
was busy devising the elaborate sys-
tenn by means of which it was possi-
bic to move the 100000 volumes of
the Astor collection and the 100000
volumes of the Lenox collection to
their new home without loss. They
view the dimensions of the reading
room (Which is 1916 feet long and II
feet wide, so feet high) with the same
degree of appreciation of magnitude
as do other people. but they are dis
satisfied just the same. This class, to
which we refer, is known as the
'sleepers." They found the old struc-
ture most convenient place for quiet
maps. But this will be impossible in
the new building. and that is why
even Father Knickerbocker lavish
expenditures have not pleased all his
children.

The Vote Buyer.

| Kennebec Journal readers are famil-
lar with Ohio's election scandai-the
| debauching of voters in Adams coun-
| ty. There were nearly 1000 arrests of
small farmers, newly naturaliZed for
eigners. a doctor or two, even min
lister or two, for selling their votes
at from 81 to $50. The thing had been
going on for years and had become
such Drain on campaign funds that
the opposing Democratic and Republi-
can committees got together and re-
protection. Sixteen hundred of these
guilty voters We're disfranchised for
five years.
Volumes of editorial have been writ
ten of these political sinners and some
dwet severely on the buyers, but it
was reported that the judge who sem
fenced these volators of the franchise.
in a measure, defended the buyers
He is said to have claimed that the
buyers We're working for party and
were engaged in an honest attempt
to VIM
God pity the honesty of the man
who debauches voters with money or
strong drink, He is in the class with
the honorable" and respectable"
men who sell Intoxicating liquors for
tipping purposes.
But now comes the charge with
sworn affidavits to back it, that
Judge Blair. who disfranchsed 1900
voters for selling their votes, himself
purchased and paid for some of the
ballots of those who were fired and
barred from voting. If this charge be
true no wonder he tacitly defended the
buyers! That a man who has been
lauded to the sky as a reformer
should be discovered as assisting in
creating the conditions he advertises
to purify. is enough to shock the
country.
Verify, the ways of the devil are so
numerous and winning that the honest
man may tremble for his own welfare.

are undermining :, rule of the higher
moral element in an endeavor to Gre
ate conditions by which the anarchist
may survive without work at the ex-
pense of the worker. The thug who
stands behind the bar to dispense Ii
quor to his fellow is almost invaria
bly, too lazy to win an honest mans
claim upon a living.
In another address We find this typ
ical phrase of the man who deals in
morals at the expense of his fellow
citizens: Surely there are other ways
to control and restrain the liquor
business than through local option or
prohibition in any form" OF course
there are other ways to control ana
dealers understanding of those two
Words the liquor business, and that
is why they are so desperately at
tempting to overthrow the consttu-
tional prohibitory law of Maine-that
they may. control and restrain the
liquer dealers business according to
their own manner of thinking. and
thus increase the sale by advertising
the business and make hundreds of
dollars in the Pine Tree State where
they are acquiring only dollars at the
present time That is why they are
meeting in Chicago at this time, to
perfect methods by which they may
overthrow the will of the people, who
have for half century been looking
toward better things and a gradual
improvement of the morals and well
fare of the Pine Tree State.
Reading through this blast of rum
inspired literature, one is over
whelmed almost, by the fallacy of
their arguments, and the flow of rea-
sons why the people of Maine should
rise in their might to defy and defeat
these interests which brazenly haunt
the flags of their humanity destroy
