State Lack of intelligence.

While we are considering our own
moral and civic problems, here in
Maine, it is well to thank our lucky
stars that conditions are no worse
We may look about us and discover
conditions so unjust, inconsistent and
withal so digustingly idiotic that we
hasten to murmur .Dirigo,"
/ Henry Is. c. Ditzen, a probation Of
ficer of Davenport, Iowa, points out,
in The Survey how his state fosters
defiance of the statutes and the laws
of morality by its provision for
delinquent. neglected and depen-
dent children. He says the laws
of Iowa prevent the admission of a
pregnant girl to the state industrial
school and at the same time makes no
provision for dealing with her. He
writes:
After confinement girls may be dis
charged il found to be pregnant, and
this offers an inducement to them TO
become so. If the rule is correct, a
girl in that condition can defy the law,
because she knows she cannot be
committed to the Industrial school
and her age will prevent her from
being put into jail-she can neither be
punished nor reformed"
Mr.. Ditzen cites another case where
the present scheme of state institu-
tions in Iowa and in other states
| breaks downfall of Il consumptive
| hoy charged with delinquency:
| THE lad is refused admission by
| the industrial school on the ground
that it is not IA sanatorium, and by
| the state sanatorium on the ground
| that ii is not a home for delinquents
| He was expelled from the publ,
schools as being dangerous to the
| health Of the other children. The only
| institution willing to receive him was
| the public street, and there he was al
| last report an outcast. He has nC
| chance TO be reformed, no chance &c
| be cured, no chance to be educated
except in the ways of the street That
| lad may do anything he wants TO, car

cause he less than sixteen years ole
and is not wanted at the industrial

Prohibition In Somerset.

The report of the jailer in Somerset
county shows that commitments for
intoxication increased in 1911 as COM
pared with 1910. Commitments for
larceny, an offense often due to drink,
or the desire for drink. showed a
corresponding increase. Yet in SOM
erset county. prohibition prohibits
The law is well enforced there. It has
the support of public opinion. So far
as the vigilance Of officials can make
IL so, Prohibition is effective. Somer-
set county is one of the prize exhib-
its of the professional prohibitionists
They point to it in substantiation of
their assertion that the law can be
enforced. And now. with the law
stringently enforced, it appears from
the official record that the Jail holds
an increasing number of inebriates.
Here we nave prohibition al its best
and a record which shows that it is
not a cure for drunkenness. The
failures Of prohibition are evidently
not all due TO the failure to enforce
the law. When 1t is enforced it
falls lamentably short Of the claims
of its apologists and defenders.-Wa-
terville Sentinel.
Yes. intoxication HAS increased
everywhere in Maine in 1911 over 1910.
1t is due to change of administra-
ton; it is because the present State
and county officials. as whole not
only nullify the prohibitory law but
encourage violation of it: because,
from governor down, they bitterly de-
nounce and abuse the law: because
so many Of these officials are in the
service of the liquor Interests.
But we are surprised to see the
Sentinel SO far turned about that il
is willing TO tell the truth about con.
ditions. We are glad, however. anC
hasten to applaud its new stand. Tha
is noble admission. neighbor. tina
pther crimes are due to drink. w

Editorial Comment
Where the Money Went

tBelfast Republican Journal)
In commenting on the proceedings
in Portland under the corrupt prac-
tees act. the Rockland Opinion says:
In the old days. we Democrats al
ways felt safe when mutual show
down of corruption was proposed. fer
our people never had any money then
and could not corrupt voters if we
were so disposed while the other fell
lows were always we'll supplied and
never had any trouble in finding heel
ers To take their money. But of late
years the Democrats have OCCASION
ally had a little campaign money, and
We do not suppose they are any bet
ter or worse than Republicans III such
matters.
The Opinion is modest in speaking
of "a little campaign money" as il is
pretty well understood that in the
campaign Of 1910. and in the Yes and
No campaign of 1911. the Democrats
had the biggest campaign funds ever
known in Maine. IN 1910 "a liberal
percentage of this money was put
where it would produce the most
votes. but in 1911 the general i'm
preston is that but little Of the money
contributed by the liquor dealers and
brewers got past the bosses.

American admiration for the scholarly
attributes of Woodrow Wilson, re-
ceives a severe curtailment in the dis
eovery that the political man of let
tiers is willing to wound an intimate,
faithful and hitherto useful friend, to
further, in an imaginary degree, his
ambition for national honors.
Abraham Lincoln once said that he
had never found any way to keep OBJ
jectionable men from voting for him.
DIR. Wilson seems to think he has, but
we venture the prediction that in
carrying his plan into effect he has
alienated the votes of many thousands
to whom he would have appealed.
The New York Tribune says:
Colonel Harvey was the discoverer
of Governor Wilson politically. Be-
fore any one else had thought of him
otherwise than as scholarly recluse
at Princeton the editor of Harpers
Weekly began to sound his praises
and urge upon the Democratic party
the consideration of his virtues as
possible Democratic candidate. Col
onel Harvey caused him to be men
toned though not very seriously,
perhaps, for the Democratic nominal
ton for the Presidency in 1908. This
sc far served to bring DR.. Wilson to
public attention that by persisting in
keeping his name on the editorial
page of Harper's Weekly Colonel
Harvey was able to make him the
Democratic candidate for governor of
New Jersey two years later. Since
his election the EDITORS assiduity in
his interest has been undated, but
this support has been thought en-
barrassing only since Governor Will
son began to court the favor of the
West"
We have frequently had occasion to
refer to DR.. Wilson's change of con-
vietions and policies, now it seems he
prefers a change of friends and sup
porters, also.

The Sentinel also says that drunk
enness is increasing where prohibition
prohibits, and pretends to marvel at
the showing Yet again and again we
have pointed out to the Sentinel, in
opposition to it's local option sophs-
try, that wet" territory always vio-

devotees find no difficulty in securing

With a rumseller on the northeast
ern border of Somerset, protected in
his violation of the prohibitory law by
Governor Plaisted and his council,
even the Sentinel might expect the
good work of a Democratic sheriff in
Somerset to be discounted in some
measure.
Half surrounded by territory in
which officials brazenly nullify the
law, Somerset boozers are not
troubled in securing the booze, but
they are promptly arrested when they
become obnoxious to sober citizens in
that county: while in Kennebec and
in several other counties such fellows
are unmolested by police officers or
are sent home to avoid arrest. thus
keeping down the number of arrests
for drunkenness in notification cities
and counties.
No, the failures of prohibition are
not due" wholly. to failure to enforce
the law. but more extensively to the
perfidy of officials who assist in vio-

become the paid tools of the rum
trust. when it is enforced it per-
forms precisely what its builders, sup
porters and friends have claimed, do
claim and will continue to claim
that it prohibits as we'll as any law

Franklin correspondent which sounds
very scary-a moose was scared,
horse was scared and a man was
scared. Harry Goodwin with his horse
was in the woods after hoop-poles,
when he heard at a distance queer
noise. Soon he saw moose, with
large. spreading antiers, coming di-
rectly for him. To say that he ana
the horse were scared is putting 1t
mildly. The NOSE came so near that
Mr.. Goodwin hit him with a hoop
pole to keep him off. The horse was
so scared it lay down. Harry was so
scared that he could not stand up.
Pretty soon the moose got scared, too.
and lit out for cover at a rapid rate.
Harry says that the hair on the
mooses back stood up three feet
high. Ellsworth American.
