Prof. Bateman Once More
AssaiIs Administration.
Discusses PIdisted's Promises
In Campaign and Betrayal.
Takes Up Inaugural, Also Law and
Letter from n. W. Cakes.

The Lewiston Saturday Journal pub
fishes the following letter from Prof
Luther c. Bateman;
1t is safe to say that never in the
history of Maine has a golden oppor-
tunity been thrown away IN so reck-
less a manner as Gov Plaisted has
thrown away his public career
True, we do not expect great intel
lectual ability and transcendant gen
ius in every governor, and neither is
this required to administer the routine
affairs of our State as they are largely
automatic in their operations.
1t does, however require manhood
and true worth as well as devotion to
principle and plighted faith.
We have had governors in Maine
who have played double with the peo-
pie and played possum with our laws
tut never in our history have we seen
a governor who had disregard for his
public promises until Mr. Plaisted as
sumed that office.
| wish my words to be free from all
ambiguity and so plain that he who
runs may read. For this reason
again repeat that never before in our
history have we seen a governor so
lIippantly betray his plighted word to
enforce the law. Less than two years
ago Mr.. Plaisted was going up and
down our State solemnly proclaiming
that if elected governor he would
faithfully enforce every law on the
statutes. 1t is useless for him to deny
this for a cloud of witnesses heard it
from his own lips.
As printed words are harder to eff
face than those which are spoken
viii again call attention to his own
platform. Here are the exact words:
IF invested with power 1.-THE Dem
Ocratic party-WilI enforce the laws
by means of. regularly elected officers. ="
on that platform Mr. Plaisted stood,
and that plank he endorsed in every
speech. On that platform he was
elected and in his inaugural address
lie again emphasized his position in
these words:
Every promise made in the plat
form adopted by the Democratic party
and upon which it waged it's cam
paign must be kept. squarely and fair
ly without evasion or equivocation.
We must be actuated solely by an
honest desire to promote the welfare
of the State and set our stamp of dis
approval upon all alliances between
those who would violate every law
and those charged with its execution.
= Leaving aside the question of
whether tie present law affords the
best regulation of the liquor traffic, a
question over which there is an honest
difference of opinion-there can be no
question that it is the duty of every
official to enforce the prohibitory law
as long as it remainsSon the statutes, :
There are the words that Mr. Plais-
ted emblazoned on our public records.
Has he kept that promise? Has he
even made the faintest attempt to
keep that promise? Nothing of the
kind
The sporting element is in full con-
trol of our state and rhm shops. gam

a servant The house is that of James
Wilson. who has been divorced from
his wife a year previous, and on the
night of the quarantine Mr.. Wilson is

has no knowledge of his divorce and

Unexpectedly on the scene, and in or

HOW MANY WOMEN
KEEP YOUNG

"A woman may be old at Is and
young at So" says Mrs. Margaret
Holmes Bates. prominent Chicago
club woman. Years don't matter.
Didn't Ninon de L'Enclos have a pro-
posal at 90?"
The youth of our women is more
lasting than it was a generation ago,
because we are becoming acquainted
with simple physiological laws. When
the first aging marks appear-wrin-
kles, baggy cheeks. neck and chin
we realize that the cause is a loosen
ing of the skin and softening of the
tissue underneath. We know the
cause must be removed. Instead of
laying on pastes we send to the drug
store for an ounce of saxolite and a
half pint of witch hazel mix them
and battle face. neck and hands in the
solution. We know this tightens the
skim solidiiies the tissue, induces n
healthy circulation. We treat causes
rather than effects. We use reason
and stay young.
