Governor Haines' Critics.
cortland Expressly


When the people of Maine come u
give serious consideration to the aues-
lions involved in the coming state cam
,aisn they will find that all the criu-
cism made of Governor Haines' admins
tration by his political opponents Is
really puerile There is nothing LOT
which the Governor and his friends nave
"a ano1gize. AS the people come to ex-
mine the criticisms that are attempted
thew will find the main proposition to be
the one with which the most fault Is
found, is the Governors attitude toward
the enforcement of law. Now the people
are not going to condemn an of1clai who'
having held up his hand and taken mis-
oath that he would sustain the constltu-
ton and the laws of the State, lives up
to that promise. Their condemnation is
waiting for the man in Maine VINO mas
broken that oath, and they have no pun
ishment in store for the Governor or any
other official who has lived up to It,
The second proposition which the
critics are using. is the claim that the
Governor should not have vetoed the 500
mile mileage book law. In the first
place, people nave Detl iHiSi cpA c9eiieiH6
the mileage bill 1t did not call for
two-cent mileage as so many claim was
the case. And the Governors reasons
for vetoing it, stated in his veto message,
were that the public utilities commission
law had been passed and it was fair both
to the railroads and to the people that
all matters concerning rates should be
decided after a full hearing by the COM
missioners instructed under the law to fix
those rates. And that law would have
been effective today If the Democratic
State Committee had not seen fit to in
woke the referendum.
There is a criticism of Governor
Haines because he appointed lawyers as
members of that public utilities commits
sion. This is not serious charge, what
ever else may be said about it, and If
men differ In opinion with the Governor,
they can see. if they Will, the ground for
the Judgment which he exercised. His
idea was that the commissioners COM
posed a court. Under the law they were
authorized t. employ all the expert as
sistants that they needed and finally, in
adjudicating differences between corpora
tons and private citizens, it seemed to
MIN as 1t does to us, that the officials
would be acting in judicial capacity
and should be trained as lawyers. Ger

tain II Is that any man who has a case
to try would much prefer men trained
in the law as judges rather than to leave
its legal settlement to blacksmith, ex-
actly the same as he would rather have
the blacksmith instead OF the lawyer to
shoe his horse.
And here the list of criticism ends If
against it may be set the unnumbered
evidences of good accomplished, the
splendid financial record, painstaking
and dignified attention to the duties of
office which has characterized, not only
the Executive but the heads OF all de-
partments under his administration, then
the verdict OF the people in September
will be the familiar one of well done,

Maine GOSSIP
In Blossom Time,

prize poem by Elizabeth Mitchell Dukes
cage IL. in June st. Nicholas)
The br9oklet sings lullaby, to butter
cups and clover,
The south wind, to the cloudlets high, a
drowsy song huns over:
The valley lilies ring their bells,
And dreamily the music swells.
Strawberries, round-faced topers red,
Drink sun-wine, in the garden bed,
While on a messy table green
Their fairy goblets may be seen.
To "Larkspur Inn" comes from the sky
A pigrim-'tis butterfly.
So calm, the waters of the lake
Against the shore no ripples break,
A primrose petal, like boat
Midst water-lilies white, would float;
While round the sun-dial roses climb,
And wait for their sweet blossom time. =
