Under this regime for two years the

Crime has increased deplorably, and

Secretary of State Davis.
lOXfnrd Democrat.l


Secretary of State Davis is coming
in for a large amount of criticism for
the enormous number of ballots print
ed for the primary election in June.
He says that the number printed was
strictly according TO the law. Hon.
Herbert NJ. Heath. who drafted the
law, stated a short time before his
death that Mr.. Davis Interpretation
was incorrect. A layman reading the
whole law and using his common
sense simply. would certainly say that
Mr.. Davis is wrong. However the
legal aspect of the matter may be. Mr..
Davis underwent great chance of
position from January to June In
preparing the ballots for the senato-
rial election in Androscoggin county
for the special session of the Legis-
lature in March, he prepared no So
eialist ballots because no nomination
papers had been filed, though the So
cia lists We're clearly entitled to vote
at that election. When it came to the
State primaries in June. he went to
the other exertme. For instance, OK
ford county east 43 Socialist votes in
the State election in 1910, but he sent
into this county in June total of
190S0 Socialist ballots. And the SEN
tinel Publishing Company, without
contract, but simply with an agree
ment," printed them.

victed of participation in the Rosen-
thai murder. Not only are they APP
parently sure of immunity for past
misdeeds but it seems to be currently
assumed that they will before long
resume business, perhaps not in so
open a way as before, but neverthe-
less to their own great profit and suc-
cess. Few hesitate to critieise with
great severity the murdered man
whose crying offense is held to have
beer that of "squealing." Mayor
Gaynor whose policies We're beyond
question indirectly responsible for the
state of things that grew up in New
York just before the outburst of last

by some few of the more sober news
papers, and what is sid of him is
obviously biased by political consid-
erations rather than Founded upon
objection to his methods from the
viewpoint of morality and citizenship.
At the recent mass meeting of pro-
test against police conditions, there
was no lack of criticism for the alli-

of denuneiation was melted out to

was only the expression Of a small

New York Police Problem.

Cverworked from every point of
view, worn threadbare by the +" yell
lows" and treated with tiresome sol
emnity of iteration by the ''respecta-
BILE press Of New York, there are
some aspects of the police situation
in that city that still challenge atten-
tion. Above all else stands out the
peculiar attitude toward the Whole
subject that seems characteristic OF
Americas largest city. Perhaps the
most remarkable element in this at
titnde is the disposition to consider
the police situation a thing wholly
apart from the general thought and
hfe-a matter of no serious concern
Coupled with this is the apparently
universal belief that the maintenance
of lawless and disreputable resorts is
as uncomfortable as the tides of the
ocean. and that freauenting then
| is basic In human nature.

| relief in the current dedication o

resorts is as uncomfortable as the tides

resorts is as uncomfortable as the tides
of the ocean,"
That is the doctrine, the religion,
the daily text, of men who build up
vast fortunes at the expense of hu-
manity-men who make and sell that
which robs others of money, health,
character and friends. and gives them
nothing good.
On the product and the teachings
of these men, has been built the
largely popular fear that the laws
Of our country cannot be enforced.
The man who embarks upon the
service of the Rum Trust Immediately
begins to preach the necessity of
lawlessness. He tells you ir cannot
be controlled and must be dealt with
on its own terms.
He first tells you that no law which
restraints the liquor evil can be en-
forced. Then he tells you that gam
bling cannot be eradicated and that we
might as well accept it and get what
returns we can out of it by way of
pay for giving it legal sanction. Next,
harlotry is embraced the same way,
and we have New York. or a
Waterville under Pattangall, or a
Lewiston under Morey-the last two
patterned after the New York plan
as closely as size will permit.
Daily and hourly this 'crime can't
be controlled" logic is sleeping the
public mind and, after time, it be-
comes possible to elect officers Of
cities, counties and State who take W
the argument that it is impossible tc
| enforce laws which criminals do not
| like. because crime can't be con-
! trolled."
Instead of giving the laws thai
have been enacted the benefit of theil
support, they devote all their energies
| to opposition to the laws and en-
| enlargement of their violation, be-

the officers who have sworn to en-
force them.
