ing convictions in cases of grave
offense This state or things was not
so bad when sheriffs were entitled
to all the fees Of the office: but since
this system has been abolished and
all fees in excess of given sum
are turned into the county treasury,
there should be some provision to
defray the cost of capturing BLENDERS
who escape, II is no more right that
the sheriff should hear this expense
that that he should bear the expense

Senator Gardner ON the Election.
Senator Gardner attended the annu-
d meeting of the national grange re-
Gently held at Columbus, Ohio. The
State Journal Of that city in its issue
Of Nov. Is quotes the recently
appointed senator . saying:
sThe wet and dry question, so far ~ Maine
II concerned, 10 . misnomer. II the recent
election hadn't carried for the retention Of the
constitutional prohibition amendment, the
state-stiil would have had prohibitory laws
that would have been even better than organic
law against the saloons.
"sane and thinking Temperance people
didn't take part in the campaign. The hood
INNS and those who wanted to see liquor sold
in spite Of law favored retention Of the consti-
tutional amendment Why. Because, under
the constitutional regime, keepers Of blind
tigers, which were to be- counted by thousands,
had only to pay occasional mes. which i'm .
year amounted 70 mighty.low license.
with the amendment out Of the way, the
Legislature would vhave been free to pass
strong laws to enforce prohibitory legislation
ON the books. The amendment was declared
retained after some dirty political work. and
Maine stands in worse condition on 1the tenn
perance question than many States with little
or NO liquor legislation. Most professional
temperence workers in Maine are dishonest
"Sane and thinking temperance
people didn't take part in the cam
paign," says the senator; in other
words, the 10000 or 90, who voted
"no". were insane and unthinkiug-
AL except the hoodlums and those
who wanted to see liquor Illegally
sold.
This 10 Z rather serious indictment
against majority Of the voters OF
Maine, and important, il true. Does
the senator include among this army
Of the insane and incorporate and
hoodlums the democrats Who voted
ssuo',f
"With the amendment ont OF the
way" continues the senator, "the
legislature would have been free to
pass strong laws to enforce prohibi-
tory legislation on the books"
Aren't there strong enforcement laws
ION the books' already, senator?
And, BY the way, what IL your party
doing just now in the way Of enforce
mentf II stronger enforcement laws
than are now ION the books" are
needed, how does the constitutional
amendment prevent the legislature
from passing thsm7
Further on the senator says that
ssthe amendment wss declared re-
tanned after some dirty political
work.. Il would be interesting %

done.
