On Broad Grounds.

UNIV TORI lllHco.i
The President brushes aside all mar
row considerations and bases his ac-
tion on the broad ground of the Execu-
tive responsibility in the enactment OF
laws, as TO which my discretion" ne
remarks, is equal to that of Con-
gress." We cannot without injustice
to the document summarize the argu-
ment of the President. His message
is one that every citizen should read,
ponder and inwardly digest. 1t is very
comprehensive, soberly stated, clear
simple and practical.

When Physic and Logic Clash.

DIR. S. C. Gordon, head of the Maine
! Nom Partisan Local Self Government
| League, INDUCED, last week, in a let
ter intended TO squelch Major II. y.
: Shorey, the veteran editor and pub
Usher of the Bridgton News. AS might
have been expected, the veteran dis
penser of pills and physic came out
of the little end of the horn in bat
of ideas and logic. DR.. Gordon haz-
arded broadside of that played-out,
Rum Trust argument which consists
of murderous assaults upon the pro-
hihitory law because it has done and
is doing just what it was designed for
Ito do away with the constant temp
tation to the weak: the sleepless at
tack upon the appetites and passions
of men
Of intoxicants in Maine to a basis OF
small profits for booze manufacturers
and their agents and dealers, the Rum
Trust and its allies, such as DR.. Cor
den. are desperately determined to
slaughter it.
II appears that after DR.. Gordon
had written his letter to Major Shorey
the latter had asked a few pertinent
questions. Here is DR.. Gordon's reply:
Fryeburg. Aug. Is, 1911.
Dear Bro. Shorey:-fou ask me what
stand for? | stand for taking all
Statutory laws out of the Constitution,
especially sumptuary ones. You So
called temperance people have revised,
improved 90 and intensified the pro-
hibitory law at the session of nearly
every legislature, for the 60 years
since It's adoption; and the last condi-
ton is worse than the first.
The people of Maine have stood for
the prohibitory law but "agin It's en-
forcement," for nearly all these years
Last election they said they We're sick
Of the hypocrisy and wanted some
change / believe they should nave AN
opportunity to see II there is not SOM
better way of dealing with the franc
than the one that has been such
stupendous failure in promoting tell
pcrance and Sobriety.

no unkindly thought can be toler-

REMEMBER THE SABBATH
DAY.

After eighteen hours Imprisonment
at Wilmington, Delaware, for violat-
ing Sunday laws prohibiting the play
ing .lof sports, Upton Sinclair and
members OF his single tax colony
were given five hours at hard labor.
While Sinclair may have splendid
views on physcultopathy, athletics
and hygiene, he does not see INTO care
much for the laws which he prattled
at his good old mother knee, and
which laws have been handed down
from generation to generation, from
the time the finger sof God wrote
them upon the tablets of stone and
gave to Moses on Sina's mount. Re
member the Sabbath Day and Keep II
Holy"
While Sinclair is doing good in
teaching people to obey the true
laws of nature, il would be truly en-
nobling II he would practice the old
Mosaic law whether he believes in
religion or not. Its common sense
ethics appeals strongly to the human
race, and by obeying this alone II
gives the tired body little rest from
overwork and strain and care.
We think mans maxim should
be eight hours for sleep. eight hours
for work and eight hours for play. and
that 1t will give plenty of room for
recreation in the time specified.
Natures laws, Mr.. Sinclair, are
Gods laws, and though the Sabbath
day has been handed down through
tradition, every nation, every kindred,
every tongue and every people has
received the same injunction from the
same fountain head, that 1t would be
folly not to recognize its supreme be-
ginning. While latterday Freethinkers
may not be impressed with the relig-
ious import of the Mosaic law, yet
all law from time immemorable has
received its incentive from that
self-same source, and while it may
not have supreme advent In the
eyes of Mr.. Sinclair and others, they
will have to agree that the world has
been made better for the ten com
mandments and that they are the
real foundation for all principles OF
law and order, therefore common
sense should certainly rule.

attended to so that the fair will have
no hindrances and all will go off
smoothly
Seven head of fine harness race
horses are being trained on the
grounds every day. The pair OF two
year old fillies which are being train.
ed ARE the finest ever seen on a the

men will make the entries in few
days.
The program and the premium lists
for the fair will be completed in a
short time.

BIG SILVER CUP FOR STATE FAIR

A big, handsome, silver cup, stand

senting masterpiece in design and
workmanship, was yesterday donated
to the State Fair association by the
Boyd Park jewelry firm, as special
prize for the county which proves its
right to the title OF first" in the
matter of horticultural products. Be
ginning with the next fair, which
opens just sixty days from yesterday,
the county which wins first prize in
the horticultural display upon three
different occasions will be declared
the winner of the prize cup.
Secretary Horace S. Ensign yester-
day expressed the opinion that the
beautiful offering would not only
bring on keen competition among the
counties of the state, but prove of
educational value as well. In seeking

The last legislature granted to coun.
ties the right to spend certain sums
annually for advertising county re-
sources and inducements. The right

literature would be of immense value
TO any county.
Mr. Ensign also reported that in,

OTHER TRUSTS TO
FACE PROSECUTION
illegal Trade Agreements Made
Abroad viii be investiaated--Ef.
fects Carried Out Hers-vioIators
to be Prosecuted.

Washington. Aug. THE coffee
trust, the steamship trust and other
concerns which are charged with
making illegal trade agreements
abroad and carrying out their effect
in the United States will, 1t was said
today, be prosecuted by the depart
ment OF Justice, probably under the
antitrust sections OF the Wilson tariff
act of 1894, which contains five Sec
tons designed to meet just such
cases.
The Wilson law provides that any
persons or corporations who import
commodities to the United States
and combine to restrain trade or fix
prices, although the trade agreements
are made outside of this country, may
be fined or imprisoned and the i'm
ports may be confiscated by the gov
ernment. Decisions of the courts re-
garding the applicability of the Sher.
man law to combinations conceived
outside the United States probably
will force the government to fall
back on the Wilson act in these par
ticular cases and others which are
similar.
The antitrust sections of the VIII
son law were preserved in the fran
ing of the Dingley act of 1897 and
were not repealed by the Payne-Al
drich law OF 1909.
