Destroy wiId-Cherry Trees.

The State Department OF Agriculture is
calling attention to section II of chapter
Is of the public laws of 1907, as amended
by section 3, chapter 81, of of the laws Of
1911, which reads as follows:
'Selectmen of towns and the municipal
officers of cities shall, before the first day OF
June of each year, cut, burn and destroy all
dead or worthless apple trees, and all wii,-
cherry trees within the limits of the public
ways, streets and parks of their respective
towns and cities. For neglect or failure to
perform the aforesaid duties. each of such
officers shall be punished by fine of not less
than fifty dollars"
This statute became operative July L,
1911. While few towns have given heed
TO its provisions and had their wild-cherry
trees and worthless apple trees cut and
destroyed, the majority OF towns have
failed to do so. At the present time these
trees are covered with tent caterpillars-an
insect that breeds very rapidly and is
destructive to the foliage of fruit trees.
The purpose OF the law was to destroy
the breeding places OF This very injurious
insect, and 1t was thought that if the
municipal officers of towns would lead in
the work by clearing the highways, in
dividual owners of real estate would con-
tinue the work upon their own premises
As long as the municipal officers are
negligent of this matter and fail to meet
the requirements of the statutes, it would
hardly be expected that a private citizen
would take up the work and carry il
along.
The law provides that these trees shall
be cut and destroyed before the first Of
June. While ii viii not be possible to dc
that this year, il is expected that the work
will be taken up and completed at the
earliest posi- BILE date. The department Of
agriculture is sending out notices to the
municipal officers OF the various town.
and cities, calling their attention to this
law and asking for its enforcement.

Maine Enforcement.


Beyond question, Maine is getting gen.
uine enforcement of the prohibitory law
from one end to the other. The sheriffs
whom Gov. Haines appointed to replace
those removed by order of the Legislature
for non-enforeement OF the law, are max
ing their counties as dry as the proverbial
desert. Portland, Lewiston, Bath, Rock
land, Augusta, Waterville, and even Ban
gor, are all drier than they have been be-
fore in generation. Many did not be-
lieve that such thing could be done.
But the worst seoffers are silenced and are
simply wondering now how long it can
last.
So close watch is kept on all channels
through which liquor comes for illegal
purposes, that when man is having any
shipped for his own personal use, he now
goes to the sheriff and tells him about it :.
Otherwise it is altogether likely that the
liquor will be seized at the express Office
or the freight depot. Even the railroads
now refuse to accept liquor that is obviously
designed for sale at Maine points. The
result is that the pocket peddlers and dive
keepers who still try to do business have
to import their stock in trunks as baggage
or to use automobiles to bring it across
the State line from New Hampshire and
Massachusetts,
All this is as it should be while the
statewide prohibitory provision is a part
oil the Maine law. The open evasion Of
the law has for Years encouraged con-
tempt for all law, and has been the basis
Of endless political hypocrisy. Gov.
Haines has taken the right stand, even
though it has made him so unpopular in
the cities that there is said to be not one
chance in hundred that he could be re-
elected at the present time. He has put
his oath OF Office above political deals and
lodges. He has also put it squarely up to
the people OF Maine whether they want to
continue the provision that Maine put in
the constitution many years ago when
conditions were vastly different. Ii was
one thing to have prohibitory law that
was enforced only as each locality or
county wanted it enforced; it is quite
another to have one enforced without fear
or favor in every part or the State.

honor, and his memory will long en-
dura
