A man selling a car of apples
on the track Thursday was arrest
ed and fined SIS for peddling
without license. If this be the
law regarding apples we presume
it would hold good as to potatoes
and other products. In this case,
however the man lived outside
the state and the apples were
very inferior in quality. He turn
ed the balance over to a resident
OF the town and they are being
sold at $500 per bushel. -Tyn-

MAINE CENTRAL.
Entering a New Era of internal De-
veIopment-A Large Territory OF
Great Resources.
(Boston News Bureau.)


Recent deyelopments with Maine
Central indicate that this northern
New England system, which, although
operated independently. is controlled
b. Boston & Maine through stock own
ership, and which itself owns or direct
~ controls nearly 1900 miles of railroad
in Maine. northern New Hampshire
Vermont and Canada, is entering an
era Of upbuilding and internal devei-
opment never before approached iii the
railroad history of that section.
Maine Central official, asked concern
ing the significance of the recent eX-
tensive inspection trips made during
the past month by representatives OF
the new board of directors, says:
THE Maine Central management has
adopted a new and comprehensive pro-
gram for opening up the vast traillc
possibilities of the region served by
its railroad and steamboat lines. FL :
forts have been inaugurated towards
DEVELOPMENT of it's natural resources
in three directions:
"First and foremost is the recent
farming impetus that has taken place
in Maine. Agriculturally. the great II
crude possibilities of Maine Central
territory are being exploited as never
before. Notable progress is being
made not only in diversified farming.
but also in orcharding, dairying and
poultry production. 1t is now estab-
lished that the soil of central and
southern Maine is as adaptable to po-
tatoes and other vegetables as that
of the jlorthorn part of the state.
Along the route of the Maine Central
lines alone. potato shipments have in
creased from 1S.4e1 tons in 1905 to no.
552 tons during the past year, gain
of nearly 600 per cent. A considerable
proportion Of this crop now goes direct
to the New York market While lum-
Der, pulp wood, wood pulp and paper
comprise at present fully so per cent.
of Maine Central's freight tonnage.
the strong card in our systems posi-
ton lies in the rapid growth of our
agricultural freight. (which forms an

difficulty of enforcement in AroostOOk

in across the border and handled from
pockets. Remote places in the lum-
herring and sporting regions difficult to
handle by sending deputies from out
side and to station deputies perma-
nently at such places would involve
Very large expense.
Prosecutions have been instituted
by the enforcement deputies in the
various counties as follows: Ahdros-
coggin, 1900; Aroostook /; Cumber

Penobseot. 1858; Sagadahoc. ~;

The fines collected in the various
counties are as follows: Androscoggin,
$4,000: Cumberland. $3.50; Knox.
$3.50; Penobscot, sl2,25o; Sagadahoc,
$3.50: total $4,000. The number of
Jail sentences imposed in the various
counties is as follows: Androscoggin,

cot, 22 Sagadahoc, a Washington, =;
total. 131.

amounts in the several counties would

minimum of 800 been paid in each of

The commissioners point out that
they and their deputies have only the
power of sheriffs and can only bring
the cases to the courts where their re-
sponsibilitv ceases as when the cases
reach the higher court they are direct
ly under the control of the county at
torneys and if these officers fail to
follow up the prosecutions the cases
amount to very little.
One feature VIII illustrates this
situation, says the report. when an
appealed liquor case is called in the
upper court and the defendant does not
respond, he is defaulted, and on de-
fault the sentence of the lower court
is affirmed. This constitutes a con-
viction, and in regular course a nlitti-
mus is issued, which is a warrant from
the court to arrest the defendant in
execution of his sentence. Bearing in
mind that the enforcement officers work
in any county only because the local
officers fail to perform their duty, and
that our deputies would naturally be
the officers selected to make the ar
rests, nevertheless, when a mittimus is
issued upon cases brought by the en-
forcement officers it has almost been
the invariable practice Of county at
torneys, who have the discretion in
this matter, to place the mittimus in
the hands of the sheriff or his deputies
INSTEAD Of the hands of the enforce
ment deputies, who have prosecuted
the cases. The result of this has
been constantly the extraordinary
spectacle OF Il court in session ready to
enforce the sentence. the mttimus in
the hands of the officer requiring him
to apprehend the criminal, and the
criminal walking unmolested about the

The report states that the commits

people likely to be interested in en-
forcement in all parts of the State.
Circular letters were sent to individ-
uais in every town, asking for in
formation and suggestion as to condi-
tions in the different counties of The
State. Later letters We're sent 10 many
individuals asking for information az
to whether conditions of enforcement
IN their locaifty were satisfactory and
whether or not they had been called

officials.
In 1909 at the beginning of the year,

Christian sei.ce. and Courts.

Owing to the prevalence of the
Christian Science belief, which as pop
| u!arlv understood, dispenses with
medical services in the event Of III
ness the following case from the Grim
inal court Of appeals OF Oklahoma. en- :
titled Owens VS.. State. 116 Pacific Re-
porter. 345. commands interest as 1t
| seems to be quite clear cut in Its terms.
A child was taken seriously Ill with
typhoid fever. but owing to the religi-
Gus belief Of it's father he refused to
allow it medical aid tho 1t was repeat
edly offered free of expense. 1t appears
that the father was thoroughly ap-
prised OF both the serious condition of
his child and OF the fact that he was
rendering himself liable to a criminal
prosecution, as the evidence shows
that the county health officer so adj
vsed him. The child fingered and
; died Religious BELIEF was the de-
Tense interposed in the prosecution
that followed under the Oklahoma
statute, which provides that 1t shall be
a misdemeanor for a parent to refuse
his child medical attendance. The trial
judge thereupon instructed the jury
that such was not defense, and the
appellate court affirmed the convic-
ton. saying that full and free enjoy
ment of religious profession and wor-
ship is guaranteed. but acts which are
not Worship are not and that par
tvs religious belief can not be accepted
as justification for his committing an
! overt act, made criminal by the law Of
| the land.
