The Bangor Case.


Sheriff O'Connell refuses to resign,
on the ground that no charges have
been or can be proven against him.
He says he has done better than any
sheriff before him, but he would like
to have more deputies and make
Penobscot dry. He does not deny
that he promised the Governor he
would resign any time his resignation
might be required. He asks help,
and the Governor seems inclined to
give it to him.
We believe the people of Maine
would gladly pay for drying up Penob-
scot county until the State would
have to make an appropriation for
vaseline to grease the cracks. But
the people who added their names to
the subscription list would be likely
to ask that in return therefore, old
offenders convicted of violation of the
law be given Jail sentences in doses
sufficient to make the rum business
UNSAFE 10 the person dH0 diS1Odi as
as business venture. That is all
that the people are now asking as
demonstration for or against the pro-
hibitory law If stiff jail sentences
and disheartening fines will not set
lazy booze pedding fellows to work,
as the rest of us work, then the law
is a failure-but it has never been
tried out determinedly and generally.
Penobscot can be made dry as well
as Androscoggin, Cumberland and
Sagadahoc, if such as Ferd Stevens are
given deputies enough to make life
miserable for the outlaw. No one has
disputed that Sheriff O'Connen had
deputies enough to make many seiz-
ures and to convict a small army OF
yiolators in the first few months of
his incumbency. What happened
then seems better calculated to dis
hearten sheriffs and deputies than
rumsellers.
The problem confronting Governor
Haines is whether he may yet secure
Penobscot as in other counties, with
out putting the State to the expense of
a special session of the Legislature.
The incident has served to show the
voters the necessity of a less expensive
method of Kidding themselves of faith
less long term officers, whether O'Con-
nell be guilty of neglect or not.
To us every phase of the attempt to
enforce the law is interesting and
satisfactory, for good is bound to come
out of it. The Gardner Dingley
bunkum will have its effect in more
ways than one-it will disgust many
Progressives with the pretense and
will result in all the voters becoming
aroused to the countless means that
are adopted to defeat the law. Every
advantage is now being taken of the
expense bugaboo of special ses-
sion of Legislature. The Governor
may we'll hesitate, for some of those
who are advocating a special session
are already attempting to poison the
minds of the voters who are told that
they will have to pay for the move
ment. Some of the men who are
making the most talk about getting
the liquor question out of politics are
constantly stirring the Bangor plan
with fhe hope of making political
capital out of it.

Latest Suffragette.

She's thin and fragile as can be,
Yet very crisp and sweet
Her figures rather fat. perhaps,
But dainty, small and neat.
She does not rave or rant or rush,
But likes right we'll to be
A quiet aid to those who guam
Their evening cups of tea.
She's welcomed into countless homes,
Although a suffrage token;
But no disaster comes of it
IT'S only she that's broken.
A strange anomaly, you say?
You feel you'd like to back her?
She's not a woman in the flesh,
But just the latest cracker.

FIRST ARBITRATION
UNDER NEW LAW

Des Moines, Aug. 17.-Iowa is about
to have its first arbitration case under
the new workmen's compensation act
Application has been made to Com.
missioner Garst for settlement Of the
case of Harvey Meats. of Centerville,
against the Pure Ice Co., of the same
place.
Meats injured his foot by dropping
a cake Of ice upon it while working
for the company, It is his claim that
the injury Is a permanent one. The
company refuses to settle upon that
basis.
According to the procedure in an ar.
bitration case as outlined in the
statute each party will choose an ar.
bitrator and Mr.. Garst will act as the
third member anod chairman. The
hearings will be held in Centerville.
The employe has engaged attorneys
and the company's end of the case will
be handled by its insurance company.
In order to save employees in such
instances from the expense of legal
help the state department will furnish
an employees attorney who will help
the workman to outline his case. While
IN the present case the injured ono is
hiring his own counsel it is expected
there will be many instances when the
