STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council Will Be Held at 10 A. M.
Friday, April "a.

Names blue sky" law has been in
effect three months, having become
operative January first last, and in
this period 11S individuals and firms
have been issued certificates as
teachers by Harry NJ. Smith of Ban
gor, the State bank commissioner.
Commissioner Smith considers this a
highly satisfactory record, particular
ly as in this same period a number of
applications have been refused on the
ground that the applicants failed to
come up to the standards required
nowadays from statesmen of securities
who wish to do business in Maine.
There has been some misapprehen-
sion as TO the plan followed in issu-
ing certificates said Commissioner
Smith Saturday. I'VE do not pass
upon the securities offered before the
certificate is granted for the reason
that it is considered demonstrations
al, under our laws. to take away a
mans liberty to do business or to con-
denim the proposition in which he may
be interested. The salient point
which covers the issuance of the GER
tifcate is the applicants good re-
pute.
mo individual or firm can offer for
sale investment securities unless they

are licensed by the banking depart
ment. Violation Of the law means liza
bility to fine of $1,000 or 60 days in
Jail. The warrant does not have to
come from this Office. Any trial JUS
quickly just as in the case of an al
legged thief
After a dealer is registered and if
he has residence in some state other
than Maine, he must make the COM
missioner his attorney TO enable SER
vice of papers on the commissioner in
case of suit under the law. The reg
istered dealer must give full details
Of his securities to the commissioner
il it is requested, and if the represent
tations are not made honestly and in
good faith, with the disclosure of the
pertinent facts necessary to enable
the intending purchaser to form judg-
ment on the nature and value of the
securities. and without intent, to de-
ceive or defraud, the commissioner is
empowered to prohibit the dealer from
Offering the securities for sale or ad-
vertising them in the State.
I'VE are frequently asked how to
know whether a dealer is registered.
Every bearer of certificate is ex-
pected to carry it with him and to
produce it when requested to do So
but it should be borne in mind that
the certificate expressly states that
the commissioner has not investigated
the securities and in no way stands
sponsor for their value.
I'm purchasing securities, the pub
lie should buy only from men in whom
they have confidence. If they wish to
make purchases from strangers, they
should at least consult their banker as
to his opinion on the prospective pur-
chase. Another thing to remember is
taht advice of this sort should be ask
ed in person. 1t cannot be expected
that a banker or any other business
man would commit to writing his
condemnation of a proposition not no
toriously bad. In some cases there is
a difference of opinion among equally
good authorities. Your banker and
my banker may have the same bust
ness standing. What my banker
might advocate purchasing, your
banker might consider an undesirable
investment Every man or woman
contemplating the purchase of securi
ties should consult the banker in whom
he or she has the most confidence.
TT is an axiom that the uninitiated

Candidate May Not Belong to Political
Party to Represent 1t

According to an opinion given out
Saturday by Attorney General Scott
Wilson of Portland in response to an
inquiry by Secretary of State Joseph
e. Alexander, a person may be NOM
mated for an office under the Maine
primary law even if he is not mem
Der of the political party which nom
mated him, or in other words, one
may be selected to represent a politi-
cal party as its candidate without be-
longing to it.
The opinion of Attorney General
Wilson is as follows:
"As to whether members of a politi-
cal party can nominate, as one of the
candidates Of that party and have his
name appear upon their party ballot
at the primary election, member
of some other political party | have
examined the text of the so-called
primary law and am of the opinion
that such a proceeding is proper.
1.-The language may not be absolute
ly free from doubt but we think the
only reasonable Interpretation of ii is
that the political belief of the candi-
date is of no consideration. 1t is the
political belief of the sieners of the
petition that must appear in order to
make it a strictly party nomination.
We do mot think that it was intended
to limit he rights of the members of
a party to nominate any citizen they
pleased whatever his political faith
may be.
THE words political party which he
represents in the fifth section apply
70 the candidates but we think that
it means that, viz: The party which
he is to represent at the primary cleo
ton, and, if there nominated, then as
its candidate ct the polls. 1t is not the
party to which he belongs. One may
be selected to represent political
party as candidate without belong
ing to it, and herein, we think, lies the
distinction.

Next Thursday. April 8. will be the
anniversary of the surrender of Gen.
Robert E, Lee at Appomattox, which
rings to mind the fact that an Au-
Eista man, one of the most distin-
suished of the many brave soldiers
Which Maine sent to the Rebellion,
played an important part in that sur
render. He was Gen. Seth Williams,
Inspector general on the staff of Cen
Grant at that time, who personally
Earried to Gen. Lee the historic letter
demanding the surrender of the Army
bf Northern Virginia. 1t was he for
whom the Seth Williams Post, G. A.
H.. of Augusta was named. Gen.
Williams was also one of the II
rnion officers who were present
Nth Gen. Grant at the interview with
Zee at Appomattox village, when the
Negotiations for the surrender were
Ebmpleted on that memorable 9th OF
April. Gen. Williams was adjutant
General of the Army of the Potomac

Hooker and Meade, and at Gettysburg

raj of volunteers for bravery in bat
