The Portland Press, taking up the
Biddeford Records question: What
has Governor Plaisted to do With di-
recting the sherffs to enforce the
law" states that the governor has
no evident responsibility, whatever
in this respect, and that he and his
party have taken good care that he
should not have. Inc Press goes Oil
to say: "'rhey have resisted every
proposition to make county officers
removable for malfeasance in office or
Ia subject them in any way to the
authority of the executive. They
made haste To repeal the law author
lzlng the governor to remove county
attorneys for persistent failure to per-
form their duties, and they could
hardly wait until they got into power
before repeating the law empowering
the governor to take enforcement into
his own hands when sheriffs proved
unfaithful. Processing allegiance to
the law and determination to respect
II, they have in practice encouraged
lawlessness. The Biddeford paper
says it is silly to ask why the gov
ernor does not direct the sheriffs to
enforce. 1t is too matter of fact APP
parently 1t is unable to appreciate
sarcasm Really nobody expects tho
governor to do any such thing, not
even to employ the moral suasion
which he might exert

which, of course, includes the railroads

move for the railroads to consider. If
the weather should be favorable and
a reduction of fares which you have
heretofore favored this state with for
this exposition, should be granted, it
VIII be as greatly appreciated at this
