Mr.. Davenport concludes his sig.
nifcant and fearless report with the
following meaning statements:
1T is particularly obnoxious, how
ever, I'm that Il does rot come up from
year to year for action by the legisla-
ture and the public has little or no

necessary 20 enable a school 70 qualify

SkOwhegan Grange

The bad travelling resulted in rath-
er a small attendance at the regular
meeting of the Grange, April 2, but
those who came participated in an in
teresting program. The questions
were all of an agricultural nature,
thoroughly in keeping with the OBJ
jects and purposes of the order.
The result of the discussions would
leave one with the impression that
agriculture, rather than trade or
profession, offered the most attractive
prospect for the youth of our time,
and that, in point of reliability, one
year with another, hay was the best
crop for a Somerset county farmer
AS to the cost of producing potatoes,
all seemed to agree that 1t could not
be done for much less than 35 cents
per bushel, delivered at the cars.

Number One

Fairly quick work-throwing out
Ballou.
II took the Maine Legislature just
a day and an evening to investigate
enforcement matters in Sagadahoc
county and to vote against the Longer
retention in Office of Sheriff Ballou..
Sheriff Ballou had been sheriff for
IS years. They all say he Is popu-
lar old man of 80 years, genial and
willin' to let things run in Bath about
as the clique wants them run. That's
one source of his popularity.
At the hearing, it was pitiful to
learn how little the old Sheriff knew
about enforcement matters in his
county. He had delegated his power
10 his son. Down in Bath he had
allowed the municipal officers to
handle things there to suit themselves.
His was the right to delegate authori-
~ to others.
The Legislature taught the old
sheriff and others the stern old lesson
that popularity and faithful adher-
ence to duty do not necessarily go on
inseparably. or that popularity will
cover a multitude of other sins.
So out goes Ballou. Two things really
contributed to the overwhelming vote
against him When asked by AttoT-
aey General Wilson why he kept
deputies In Bath If he knew things
were in good condition there, the old
sheriff answered.: That's none of
your business" mo, not personally.
said the Attorney General, but this
convention would like to know" That
was one thing that made the big vote.
The other thing Is the fact that Will
liam II. Pattangall Is defending him.
The feeling Is pretty general all over
Maine that Mr.. Pattangall is the fell
low behind the democratic members
who is pulling the strings and moving
the figures on the little State House
stage; that Mr.. Pattangall Is stoutly
opposed to the work for enforcement
by Governor Haines; that Mr.. Pat
tangall, as always, Is opposed to the
retention of the Prohibitory law, and
Is doing everything in his power to
discredit the present party in power
1t is more than possible to believe
that the members-some of them
were voting as much against Mr.. Pat
tangall as against Sheriff Ballou.
Mr.. Pattangall lost his case.
Sheriff Ballou walks down and out.
1t was Number One.

Needs A Sitter Dose

Speaking OF the impeachment o
Sheriffs. we are reminded that som,
OF the minor officials like deputy
may stand watching. We are furth
er reminded of the fact by the fol
lowing clipping:
Brunswick Me. April 4-Depu-
ty Sheriff Worthing A. Pencil of
Harpswel was arraigned before
Judge Thompson in the Munich
pal Court today, charged with
cruelty manning and mutlating
his horse. He was found guilty
and fined $50 and costs, the total
amounting to $6S.04. He paid.
J. II. Rollins of Portland and
Hiram A Walker of Brunswick
officers for the prevention of
cruelty to animals. testified that
last Monday Pennell drove his
horse from Brunswick to East
Harpswell BY the time Gurnet
Bridge was reached the horse
was exhausted and there Pennell
took out his jacknife and stabbed
the horse twice, after which he
cut off both ears.
Edward w. Holbrook of Cundys
Harder, Daniel p. Toothaker of
Gun Point, two mail carriers, and
Alfred Rawstron of East Harps-
well also testified regarding the
condition of the horse. Deputy
Pennell told officer Rollins that
he would resign his position as
result of the trouble.-Boston
Globe.
So officer Pennell is going to resign
and pay a fine and costs amounting
to s68.04. The fine seems light tt
us people who believe In prevention
Of cruelty, and any person who coult
commit SO dastardly deed should be
put in place so solid and kept there
so long that he would forget that he
was ever privileged to drive horse

If this talk about wanting TO get
home comes from the members of
the Maine Legislature, some one ought
TO take birch rod to every mothers
son of them. They worked hard
enough to get elected as representa-
tives. and it becomes solemn duty
for them to remain at the State House
long enough to attend to all the
States business. 1t happens, too. at
the present moment that this business
is important enough Therefore,
