The news CT the tragic and untlmely
death of Hon. Joseph Williamson OF Au-
pusta was received in Belfast, his birth
nj ace and the home of his boyhood and
Young manhood, with deep regret and
with warm expressions of sympathy Tor
those so sadly bereaved. AS boy Mr..
Williamson was a general favorite with
his associates, ard in the wider acqualnt-
ance acquired in the practice OF his pro-
fes sion and his activity in politics, his
genial manner and honesty of purpose
won for him Statewide popularity and
onfidence. A Democrat, as his fathef
and grandfather had been before him, he
had no personal enemies in his political
career. He worthily filled every posi-
ton of honor or trust to which he was
call ed and had won a high place in the
leg al profession. His death IS a loss tc
the State, to the profession he adorned,
to his family, and to wide circle OF
friends.

What promises to be a war involving
all the great European powers is now
on. When it became evident that such
conflict was imminent the worlds mar
keas were brought to standstlll, stock
and cotton exchanges were closed, many
failures reported, and the sailings OF
transatlantic liners under the flags of the
countries involved were Cancelled. The
effect of such war in this country is
conservatively stated in an editorial from
the Boston Transcript in another column,
and it hardly need be said that it must
involve a sacrifice of life and money that
will be felt in every part of the world
and will be tax upon industry for years
to come. Yet, despite the apparent pro-
gress of the peace propaganda. it has
been evident for some time that the
Great Powers of Europe were prepar-
ing for hostilities, and Germany has de-
alberately fired the train that has set the
hostile fleets and armies in motion. The
cause of it all is said to be racial Jealousy
between Teuton and Slav.
Each race wishes to gain footing on
the Mediterranean. Servia, backed by
Ru ssiap influence, through her advance
me Mt by victory with the other Balkan
Sta ties in the Turkish War, proved the
ma tch that started the flame. The other
gre at Nations became involved by reason
Of their political alliances. Germany,
Au stria and Italy form the Triple Alli-
anc e. Italy has declared herself neutral,

PORTLAND, Me-, July 20. Judge Mer-
rill of the Municipal Court handed down
an important decision today in the case
of Joseph Gilman, who was alleged 10
have made Is single sales The State
alleged that in each instance he sold
"whiskv." Sheriff King F. Graham
and Deputy Sheriff Henry L. Hunt had
testified to the effect of the liquor on one
man as they observed him. Judge Mer-
rill said that he was perfectly satisfied
that Gilman did sell intoxicating liquor,
but that the State having failed to show
that it was whisky, would order the dis
charge of Gilman Had the State al
legged the sale of Intoxicating liquor"
in a general sense. he added, it would
NOT have had to prove the sale OF any
particular kind.
This is another illustration of the fact
tb at the chief obstacle to enforcement
of the prohibitory law is the courts.
What matters it whether the admitted
ly Intoxicating liquor was labeled
whisky, rum or gin? In some cases only
an expert could name the stuff sold in
violation of law Another evasion of the
law is the concurrent" sentences. An
old offender is sentenced to 60 days in
iail on three or four cases, but the SEN
tence further reads that they shall be
served concurrently, which means that
the offender serves only go days, instead
of 100 or 24O. Time and again when the
sh eriff has done his duty and the grand
jury has found an indictment against
notorious offender the court on some
f1imsy pretext, or none at all, has oroer'
ed mol pros With the law administer
ed as it stands on the statute books
Maine would be as dry as Plalsted'
Gov cred bridge.

Extract From a Future History
CFrom the Chicago HeraldJ


But even in those dark days that had come upon
Europe and the whole world, days in which the slow
bought gain of ages seemed to have been swept away
and great nellects began doubt the future of
the human race, there evidences that the high
ideal of peace had by means been banished from
mems hearts and minds
ITO the United States of America must be conced
ed the supreme credit for uphodng this high ideal at
a time when events seemed most thoroughly to dis
credit it. Not only all the efforts of the govern
eXerted to this end, but there were popular
movements inspired by the same purposes
Most striking of all these was what is now known
as the Christmas Ship Movement This movement,
which had for its object striking lesson in interna
tional peace and good will took the definite form of
loading a great vessel, furnished by the United
States government, with Christmas presents of all
kinds for the war-made orphans of Europe. The eff
feet striking the time. But its really powerful
influence wholly appreciated until years aft
erWard
ct was then realized that this Christmas offering
from the children of America to the orphan children
of Europe had struck chords of feeling which moth
ing else could have touched and had helped lay the
foundations for the solid peace and the sincere good
will which the world today enjoys
