The Campaign Ahead

II is generally understood in SHOW
hogan. Representative Gould's home
town. that the congressman will keep
mighty mum on the rum question.
The real rum-supporting centers In
the Third district are few and small.
and in Gould's own county they have
no use for it. Even some of the
we'll known Democrats are leading
temperance men and they believe In
prohibition and law enforcement
-kennebec Journal
That's right And it is mighty IN
convenient for the rest of the Demo
Gratis of Maine.
1t is surely too bad that public
sentiment" is so much against NULL
feation in old Somerset
1t confuses the Governor and his
creator, the attorney general.
But it just can't be helped.
Confidentially. public sentiment
against notification would be just as
strong in all other parts of Maine If
men like Governor Plaisted and At
torney-General Pattangall would give
it fair chance to express itself.

The reason for the non-enforcement
of the Prohibltory Law, according to
the Acknowledgement of Maine, is that
'there Is no healthy, active, public
sentiment back of it,"
That's the wailing slogan of the
democratic spellbinders.
You will hear it on the stump all
through this campaign.
May W. put question to these ora
tors who like the Attorney General
seem to hold brief to speak for the
people? May we humbly ask who in
Maine is responsible for the present
sentiment toward the enforcement of
the prohibitory law?
And may we answer It?
Governor Plaisted, Attorney General
Pattangall. and the democratic press
of Maine
These men have for years made po-
litical capital out of this enforcement
business.

forcement SO much that even where
there is fair enforcement they have re-
fused to see 1t.
They wanted to get into office and
they have made their chief issue that
of the non-enforcement of the law.
Any school child knows that.
These men have a good deal to &C
count for later on.
They are responsible for the lax con-
ditions in the state to-day.
They are responsible for much of
the lax conditions in the past. too.
Suppose for one moment that these
men and the democratic press, like the
Sentinel and Portland Argus, and Mr..
Plaisteds New Age, should join with
the enforcement-loving people of this
State and demand the enforcement of
law, instead of taking every opportun-

Burleigh "Knows the Ropes

If experience in the halls of ma
tional legislation counts, the SLOW
climbing of the ladder which leads to
renown-if the rung-by-rung way
from the very foot of the stairway TO
near the top-if these qualities count
for ANYTHING, here in Maine-then the
progressive career of Edwin [. Bur
leigh In the national House should en-
title him to whatever is best within
the bestowal of Maine voters. He
has been an unquestioned Republican
from his boyhood He was fed upon
the doctrines of Charles Sumner
Hannibal Hamlin and Abraham Lin
coin. He was never bolter from
the convention nomination. The
party was always far better TO him
than any man within the party lines.
Like LaFollette of Wisconsin, he
never betrayed or tried to betray the
interest of any party nominee. he
has often joined in disputes and
wrangles within the party lines, but
he has never dreamed of getting out
side of the party lines. Like Gen
erals Young, Greedy, and many other
priyates within the ranks, he has

when he Is about to receive the very
best which Maine has to bestow.
Many other most excellent Maine
men have made a seat in the United
State Senate merely incidental to
rounding out of a career. Mr.. john
son of Wateryille leaped to the Sem
ate from a large and lucrative law
practice. Mr.. Gardner of Rockland
gained the Senate by the grace of ap-
pointment from Democratic Cover
nor, who was shrewd enough to see
that a leading Granger Democrat
would serve the double purpose of
conciliating the farmer vote and slap
ping the prohibitionists squarely
across the face. And for the sake
of securing the senatorial plum, Mr..
Gardner consented to betray the Of
ten-repeated Maine-Granger vote, and
sentiment, in favor of a rigid en-
forcement of the Maine prohibitory
law.
AS Mr.. Burleigh wifi come before
the Maine legislature to oppose Mr..
Gardeners claim for continuing in the
United States Senate. all Maine
Changers, Prohibltionists, most Maine
soldiers and all Maine voters, who be-
lieve in loyalty to any principle, must
support Mr. Burleigh as against MIR.

of silver coins were seen along the
business front and since other bunch
es of party melted English silver
pieces, ranging from scent pieces to
half-dollars, have been discovered
near the same location and there is
more than the usual amount of specu-
lation as to where they originally
came from. as no English coins are
ever seen in this city by storekeepers.
In one of the collections seen Monday
was n silver coin of 1915 and all were
we'll preserved, with the exception of
having been somewhat burned or
partly melted in some slow fire as of
wood. City Marshall William ]. WIZ

plea in his threadworn harrangue
Waterville the other night that every

what party you should support with
out any reference whatever to other
campaigns" Three minutes thereaf-
ter, the Professor pointed out elo-
quently that the Republican party was
not worthy of support for its record
of the past. 1t was great logic-for
an Attorney General.

ON THE RIVER
THE FAMOUS wH1sKEY BOAT CASE
ENDED,
The State Supreme Court Sustains Va.
hdity OF Agreement Between Missis.
sippi and Arkansas.

Jaekson.-In a lengthy opinion read
by thief Justice Mayes the supreme
sustained the constitutionalitv of
the statutes enacted by legislatures of
mississippi and Arkansas, each state
ceding to the other concurrent iurisd;c,
ton on Mississippi river in order to sun
press Illicit liquor traffic.
The defendant, Barney CUNNINGHAM
so'd iiquor on a ferryboat floating on
the river, keeping on the Arkansas side
OF the stream, but getting his chief pa.
tronage from the Mississippi side di.
rectly in front of the town OF Tunica.
The decision of the court overrules
the decision of the trial Judge, who held
mat Cunningham was not guilty.. and
discharged him from custody. The state
took an appeal, and Chief Justice Mayes
directs that hereafter prosecutions for
violations of the state laws on the ter.
ritory of the Mississippi river, included
within the compact between this state
and Arkansas, be conducted with this
decision.
