ton after his election, or somewhere
else ON another occasion, with reference
TO the enforcement of the liquor law
Now II the public utteranees of Gov
eTnof Plaisted We're to be found exeIu-
slvely in his correspondence like those
or Governor Burleigh, all sorted, canned
labeled and indexed, how easy il would
be TO produce what our contemporary
nnds II so difficult to ascertain-Bidde-
ford Record.
We have had no difficulty whatever,
friend Record, in finding what Gov
ernor Plaisted said at Skowhegan and
elsewhere. I'm fact, neighbor. your
flight of imagination, white lie, or
whatever you call it. is as far from
the truth as your statements usually
are, To be quite frank with you, the
sayings of Governor Plaisted, Boss
Pattangall and some others are "all
sorted, canned, labeled and indexed"
perusal of these now and then
proves highly entertaining.
AS specimen of what Governor
Plaisted has said, let us quote you
one. 1t is from his inaugural and,
as the Governor furnished the copy
and read the proof it is undoubtedly
correct 1t is somewhat illuminating,
in view of what he and other Demo-
cratic speakers are saying now. The
Record may remember that certain
of the Democratic paralyzers are
claiming that they never promised to
enforce the prohibitory law-because
they are neither liars, hypocrites nor
fools.''
Before the members of the 18th
Legislature, Thursday, JAM 5, 1911,
Governor Plaisted said (among many
other things which we have sorted,
canned, labeled and indexed")
There can be no question that it is
the duty of every official to enforce
the prohibitory law so long as it re-
mains upon the statute books"
1t was no trouble at all to find it.

enough of these to please you, Just
call on; we have fine assortment.

Davis Bound to Be Wrong.

At Mechanic Falls on Thursday
evening, the Democratic secretary of
State, who is extremely sensitive on
the subject for one so clearly and abb
sclutely divorced from the Profits OF
State printing as he vociferously tells
the public he is, is promptly reported
on Friday morning in the organ of the
State printer to have said in a public
speech:
Nothing which the Kennebec or Lew
iston Journals or Mr.. Heath may read
into the law to suit their political pur-
poses will change me in this opinion The
law plainly says that two sets OF ballots,
each of not less than sixty for each
fifty and each fraction of fifty votes cast
at each voting place in the next preced-
ing election, state or national, correspond
ing to the election for which SAID ballots
are to be provided.
Suppose they had secured 300 registra-
lions for their ticket making we VIII say
1900 Republicans where last fall showed
a thousand. suppose the secretary OF
fall Republican vote only one thousand
ballots and after these were used up
other voters came forward asking Tor
such. The clerk would say; We have no
ballots for you; the secretary OF state did
not provide Them ("
Now if the agitated and ratified sec
rotary printer will pause long enough
from his stump speaking to get the
force of his own great argument, he
will see that, accepting his own figures
of the Republican vote in this city in
191G-which, however, in line with many
of his statements. is incorreet-the
two sets of ballots would have given
the Augusta Republicans 2400 ballots,
or 100 more than they would nave
asked for. The clerk would have had
no occasion for making such pathetic
plea And the law would not have been
violated by the secretary printer, as II
was violated when more than 2o,ooV
ballots were printed for this city.

Herbert Milton Heath.

from home to home, Augusta, today,
mourns the loss of one of her best
known and best loved citizens, Hon.
Herbert Milton Heath.
AT this time Mr.. Heaths home city
can hardly realize its loss of a man
OF whom il was justly proud. For Au-
gusta was proud, as vas Maine, and
New England, of Herbert NJ. Heath.
His splendid mental power and legal
equipment were recognized and felt
as an asset. His opinion was respect
ed everywhere. as was his sincere per
sonality.
In mind and character Herbert NJ.
Heath was cast in large mould. lie
fought with great problems and gave
his people the benefit Of his solutions
His cutting down at the period OF his
greatest usefulness is not for man II
criticize or attempt to justify. Let US
accept II as part OF the great scheme
of life and remember that Death loves
shining mark.
Words are futile when we wouid
have them mean so much. but perhaps
we would best enlighten those who ds
not know, by saying that Herbert NJ
Heath was loved most by those whe
knew him best he was all that hus.

The Poisoning Processes.

Black Hand activity has taken a new
form in New York. Criminals are now
engaged in poisoning the horses on the
east side in cases where their owners
refuse to heed demands for money. In
pioneer days in the West the man who
stole horse was promptly hanged.
East side vigilance committees might
find something to do in Gotham.-Wat-
erville Sentinel.
We wonder if vigilance committee
could find anything to do in Water
vile, where officers refuse to serve
warrants and where the city marshal
and patrolmen refuse to visit scene
of riot.
But then, the waterville System is
engaged only in the pastime of pol
soning the citizens who have been
converted to personal liberty" AMI
are willing to pay for the poison.
