Sending common drunkards continuous
ly to Jail is an ancient travesty not un-
likely To disappear in the not distant
future, says the Springfield Republican
Pointing in that direction is the recon-
1nendation of the legislative commission
appointed to Study the subject-a report
which, it is to be hoped. will have weight
with the present Legislature. Simple
drunkenness, in the light Of our modern
knowledge can never be cured or check
cd by Jail sentences. Incbriates are what
they are because alcohol has destroyed
their power Of control and they are pro-
per subjects for hospital treatment. To
treat them as criminals deserving merely
punishrnents of fltful nature is a mark
Of a backward civilization.

There is to be a democratic banquet at
Minneapolis on the Oath. Originally it
was announced with some flourish that
this was to be a get-together affair, all
differences to be smoothed out, and all
sides to get recognition. Some consci-
entlous democrats in Minneapolis be-
liexed this, but before they got very far
found out that this was a framed BAN
quet, that unless the banquet was run to
suit Boss Lynch and his outfit, they
wouldn't play" It was proposed that
in the interests Of fair play that certain
speakers be invited, who, While not
satellites of Lynch, have a long and hon.
orable record as democrats This would
not do, and what will happen is that
some more or less eminent gentleman
from the east will do most Of the talk
ing, and if there is any other speaking
it will be edited before being sprung. Mr..
Putty-possibly Purdy is the right name
who with StockwelI represent Min
nesota's Roger Sullivan in Minneapolis
is on the committee on arrangements,
and democratic democracy will take a
back seat. The meeting ostensibly for
a sort of general come together, is really
intended to help the outfit running things
to find a man willing to go before the
state as a candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor with the Lynch
label pasted all over him. They don't
like Andrist, but if no one else can be
found they'll chance him. They want
Hammond, but the congressman can go
back to WASHINGTON Why should he
pull Lynch's chestnuts out of the fire.
They don't want eastman. His views on
the liquor question would be incongruous
with Lynch's attempt to placate the
: brewers.
Little Falls herald., 1914-02-13

Winn Powers, one of the pleasantest
brewery candidate for mayor of st. Paul,
and Lynch is so strong for Powers that
he has been trying to pull off other can
didates. If there were anything really
democratic about Lynch, he would sup
port Louis Nash, a democratic demo-
crat. Lynch is so anxious to utilize the
liquor and other corporation interests
that he is doing all he can for Powers
In New Jersey Woodrow Wilson gained
a reputation by fighting Boss Smith,
and the system he represented. AS presi-
dent he certainly has not changed his
views. Yet the man who claims to have
all Of the federal patronage in this state
represents everything that made Boss
Smith obnoxious in New Jersey. Not a
single word has ever come from Smith
or Lynch showing them to be in favor,
or Of even understanding, what demo-
cratic democracy means. No measure in
the legislature looking toward better
things has ever received any considera-
ton from them.
Has anyone ever learned of one single
constructive idea in democratic doctrines
put forth by Lynch? His attitude is
typifed by what he said of the people
of St. Paul when they voted for new
reform charter--tllat he didn't think
there We're $1,000 d fools in ST. Paul"
Any candidate who puts the Lynch label
on himself is surely worthy of all the
label implies.

One of Augustus fishermen who has
just returned from trip to Moosehead
lake where he went with party of
friends from Somerset county, allows
that the local fishermen who make &C.
casional trips during the, winter months
to the ponds in the vicinity of Augusta
after pickerel don't really know what
ice fishing is Last Saturday, the day
which the party devoted to the enjoy
ment of the sport, the mercury did not
rise above zero for the day, and the
wind was blowing half gale, driving
the snow down the lake in clouds
which at times prevented one seeing
so feet in any direction. The ice on
the lake was three feet in thickness
and on this was six inches of water.
while on top of all was a foot and a
half of snow, and to cut the holes nee
essary in order to fish required labor
OF the hardest kind. After the holes
We're cut and the fishing began the fish
ermen were compelled at times to lie
down by the holes on account of the
wind. They caught some trout and
eusk and in way were satisfied, but
the Augusta man is willing to admit
that the most enjoyable part of the
trip We're the hours passed in camp.

improvements are soon to be made
in the commercial office of the New
England Tel. s; Tel. Co. on Water street
that will add not only to the conven-
fence but also to the appearance of the
office. The whole interior of the office
will be lightened by painting the walls
a light buff and the woodwork, with
the exception of the counter a color
to match, the counter and the furni-
ture being left dark as at present. The
Gill work on the counter, which has
already been removed, will be done

In Conclusion.
State Treasurer Simpson says in con-
clusion
1.-The business of the department, in
general, has increased very materially
during the past few months, owing large
ly to the payment of all bills from the
treasury of the several State institutions,
which were formerly paid by them.
mo provision was made by the Legis-
lature to take care of this large volume
of business, which the department neces-
sarily was obliged to assume, but by the
present force giving more time than the
regular business hours, the work in each
desk has been carried along and the dis
bursements made with the usual prompt
ness A small appropriation, however,
should be made to provide for additional
assistance when necessary.
1.-The form of checks has been some
what changed, and all checks must now
be countersigned by the chief clerk OF
the treasurers office. This is an entirely
new feature, and I believe one OF much
Importance in safeguarding the funds OF
the State. Under the present system
there are four active depositaries, the
Portland National Bank of Portland, Au-
gusta Trust Company and State Trust
Company of Augusta and the Merrill
Trust Company of Bangor. These banks
furnish all the checks without any cost
whatever to the State, thus making sub
stantial saving over former years, and
especially at this time when something
| like 25,OO0 checks are being used an
nually.
1.-The rate of interest on daily balances
has also been increased during the past
year from per cent. to q per cent
Rising 100000, however, of the cash bal
ance on hand Dec. 81, 1913, is on deposit
in the savings department of the sew
eral banking institutions in the State al
the rate of 4 per cent"
