Why Not All Shcriffs Resign?

\ strong sentiment is abroad for vol
untary relinquishins of the sheriffs
offices in all counties of the State, witt
the object of saving possible long and
expensive inquiries, perhaps unjust
charges, and 4 certain public convic-
ton that few if any shoriifs are Going
their full duty.
The plan suggested would be for each
sheriff to place his resignation in the
hands Of the Governor to be accepted
at any time the chief executive be-
comes convinced that conditions in
dictate inattention to duty. or encour-
agement of any illegal traffic for pri-
yate gain The Governor would then
name q new official requiring ut the
same time, such new sheriff's resisna .
ton TO be placed on file
No official Of Maine, who honestly in
tends to perform the duties of his Of
flee. could have any objection to 50
placing himself in the hands OF the
Governor. And any sheriff or county
attorney now under bar of the Lesis
lature. would show his common sense,
fairness. and loyalty TO the welfare
vi his State ty 1T once placing his
resignation with the Governor and save
the discomfort and expense of Legisla-
tive hearing.
1t seems - be easy enough 10 prove
that wide open conditions have been
Winked at by some OF our sheiiffS; that
:.ny officer OF citiz,n III some of or
cities could liont oul any nulnber If
places wher, drinks or bottled goods
eoulG be bought i would hardly be
fair 10 The intelligence OF sllcrins to
attempt to prove thai they did not
know OF some of these open bar rooms.
Then why do they not enforce the
law Is il because they fear tine peopie,
or is it because they are paid gener-
ously To let these dealers alone?
II these shefiffs fear the local senti-
ment let them put the blame upon The
Governor, by making him responsible
FOR enforcement. If they are unwilling
TO Go tliat. they suggest the other sup.
position.
The tacit admission that they nave
been letting things go as Of old, IS
the sudden issuing of orders. here and
there. to saloons. dives and rum clubs.
to close up or suffer.
The liquor traffic promoters keep on
shouting fake and farce" Shall we
let this wholesome movement become
farce ny peterinS out as soon as
the Legislature adjaurns, or shall we
go ahead and see that enforcement is
carried out to the letter for the next
two years. Conditions are dry now
why not keep them so?

The Surest proof that the bar and

This proposes to undo all the effort
which went into the framing aud en-
actment of the most salutary piece o.
liquor legislation which this Com
monwealth has enacted in recent

reduced the number of saloons i'll the
state by 2J0, and the number of places
where liquor could be bought i'll
quantity is reduced by 1900. Among
it's less obvious and more vital re-
suits was the material reduction Of
that disastrous trade of the woman
with a pitcher wife who visited
the saloon whilst her husband was alb

was steadily cankcrins into the homes
of the poor and recruiting the ranks
of the outcast

contcndcd by those who obtained the
enactment Of the bar and bottle lax
that il was, first of all, desirable that
the volume of the liquor traffic III this
Commonwealth should be decreased.
They might have affirmed that Tor
every dollar of revenue which the
traffic brought in, the state paid out

but they presented their ease. and
won it, on other grounds without rails
ing this dispute at all. But now the
shoe is Oh the other foot. Since -
has been shown that the bar and hot

traffic in this state, the question now
becomes Do the members III The |
