Prompt Canvass of Returns.

The instincts of a newspaperman
nalist always a journalist. The ambi-
ton TO crafty public demand for
news, once created. overcomes red
tape and official ponderosity. The
marked example at the State House,
Monday, is worthy of commentator.
Governor Plaisted, who has been all his
life a newspaper man. realized that
above all things the people of Maine
most desired to know the result of
Mondays vote. They were anxious to
know If town clerks made the same
plumbers in returns TO the Governor
and Council that they made to the
secretary of State. They wished as
snrance that returns made enormously
could be corrected.
Governor Plaisted understood these
things He not only gave assurance
that corrections within the legal period
would be made. but organized his
Council for tabulation according TO APP
proved methods in newspaper offices
The work proceeded rapidly and ac-
eurately, and when it was done the
result was made public within eight
hours of the opening of the session.
Coupled with the official figures was
the following from the Governor:
"The law provides that town and
city clerks may appear before the
Governor and Council TO make eorree-
tions ins their official returns within
20 days after result is apparent Tn
I'll that time expires and the clerks
have been given every opportunity to
show the true result the outcome of
the election cannot finally be known"

The Sieae of the Seven Suitors.

A gay, fantastic, blithely merry ro-
nance with intense mystery thrown
in for spice, is the newest book and
the brightest star in the crown OF that
Indiana purveyor of light literature,
Meredith Nicholson
There is comedy rampant from the
entrance of Miss Octavia HOLSTER
into the pre- Raphaeiite atmosphere Of
the Asolando tea room, the seventh
shop from Fifth avenue. She takes
her place at the seventh table from
the door, although it is the only one
in use in the room and proceeds to
explain her superstition of the num-
Der seven to the Young man who is the
teller of the story. Discovering him
to be an architect who has specialized
in chimney doctoring, she engages
him to investigate the antics of her
chimneys at Hopefield, magnificent
country house not far from New York.
Arriving on the scene in answer TO
a summons from Miss Octavia, who is
a dominant little woman of 50, the
chimney doctor finds to his disappoint-
ment that the chimneys are perfect;
but he finds for compensation that Ce-
ella, Miss HOLSTERS niece, is decid-
edly attractive. Then enter nine
snitors for the hand of Cecilia, one of
them being the best friend of the
chimney doctor.
Complications of various kinds fol-
low, increased by the entrance oil
ghosts into the house and the myster-
ious smoking of the chimney during
the ensemble cali of the suitors upon
Cecilia. The physician to chimneys
finds that he has more than enough
to de when in the course of human
events he meets Miss HOLSTERS other
niece Hezekiah who has been ban
ished from the house until her sister
marriage shall have been arranged.
The incidents that crowd fast upon
each other through the book are told
in Nichoson's best whimsical style.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Real friends in numbers are about
as hard to get as lot of money.
The best part to girl of being
kissed by a man is not letting him so
he'll do it again
The reason a woman can smile so
sweetiy at a rival is she always means
just the other thing.
It's the man who knows better from
experience than to speculate that goes
and does it first chance.
Literature that improves the mind
is what people want their children to
read because they never would them
selves.
First man loses his money at
cards, then his temper
When a man isn't afraid of the cook
he's taking his meals in restaurant.
Even when woman gets to be a
| grandmother she knows it isn't on
| account of her years.
| It's the way of girl to be able t.
look pretty to the man she likes

| pie for things they want 10 have thar

Open Letter to the Governor.

Honored Sir-You may have noticed

law has been nuliified by the sheriff
and county attorney.
Now Just say to these lawless Off
GERS; Execute the law. or | will ex-
ecute YOU and you will put the wet
counties solidly into the dry column.
To be sure, in Your administration
YOU have surrendered to the liquor
traffic your best weapon-the Sturgis
law-for il cut them through, but in
the law as il stands, or in the consti-
tuition. you will find executive power
enough To cut off the lawless officers.
You noticed too, in the recent cleo
ton, as we all did that a large part
of those who voted yes" did not do
so because they are drinking men. or
want To see an open saloon on every
corner, but because they were disgust
ed with the lax execution of the law.
Your predecessor, Fernald, made a
fatal mistake, which cost him his cleo
ton. when he vetoed the Hastings
first offense. Maine can well let North
Carolina lead her in the matter of
dealing with the liquor seller, That
state imposes no fine. The liquor in
terests have plenty of money. Instead

saIutarv Sentence for Nuisance.

The Kennebee Journal would call the
attention of its readers to a whole
some beginning in dealing out justice
to law breakers On Tuesday, Judge
Beane in the Superior Court at Au-
gusta. sentenced a liquor nuisance to
$500 and costs or 10 months in jail.
Judge Beane also warned the Violator
of the certain consequences of appear
ing before him again on similar
charge. The court made it plain that
the next offense by this violator or
any nerson representing him from the
same place of business, would win
long Imprisonment with no choice of
fine. sT~
That is salutary! When the rum
business is made too expensive to in
dulge in, or sentences are long enough
to give violators ample time to re-
ing number who are willing TO take
the chances of violating the liquor
law.
Suppose Sheriff Richardson notify,
publicly or otherwise, those engaged
in the handling of intoxicaRts III Ken
nebec county, to close up, and close
up for all time? Suppose he tell them
that on a date named he will begin
active work in the discovery eff evil
attorney is ready to take up the cases
as rapidly as reported, and that the
court is waiting to emphasize the fact
that the majority of Maine people
want the law enforced?
We have evidence that public senti-
ment will be behind a genuine Gov
cred Bridge" plan of enforcement of
the prohibitory law. We predict that
the sentence pronounced by Judge
Beane on Tuesday will meet with gem
uine public approval.
Let us have more examples Of max
ing the illegal liquor traffic unprof-
table. If a man or woman take
special pride in defying the law let
them suffer for their temerity If they
cannot get a living except by ped
ding liquors, let us support them on
the city farms, or in the almshouses:
1t would be cheaper
We would like TO hear of some move
on the part of the county sheriff. We
propose to get what we started after.
if possible, If officers refuse To go
after law breakers we propose to go
after the officers. and we believe the
people will stand with us
Let the sheriff get busy with the
court. and We will uphold his good
work as we have the good work of

Rose refreshed from out my slumbers
In the early flush of dawn;
Saw the sun rise Ger the meadows
Chase away the lingering shadows,
As the morning breeze was signing
In the fields of growing corn.
Like an army formed in battle.
In the pasture trooped the cattle,
And the dewdrops Shone and Slimmered
Pale and slinted on the lawn;
From the tangled hazel thicket
| Came the chipping Of the cricket,
Beating time-at least in fancy
TO the rustling of the corn.

Where the maple branches culver,

can see her smiles and bushes,
As | kissed her

Rests in days now lost and gone.
While from out the shadowy places
Peer the old familiar faces,
