Editorial Comment.
Bull Moose Bankruptcy

washington Post, independently.
Signs OF the changing times are ap-
parent in the announcement by Charles
Elliott Ware, chairman of the Progress
sive party's State committee in Massa-
chusetts, that the party is insolvent
and will be obliged to settle its bills at
so cents on the dollar. Creditors of the
Progressive organization filed attach
ments against the Progressive head
quarters and are rather doubtful that
they will receive as much as so per
cent.
or course financial insolvency does
not always mean political insolvency;
but the fact that the former is ad-
mitted by the State organization on the
eve of an important election is tanta-
mount to notice that no credit is ex-
pected in the approaching fight.
The incident is given added signifi-
canoe by reason Of the withdrawal of
Charles Bird as Progressive candi-
date for governor. Mr. Bird twice
previously made the race but this
time seems to feel that a fight would
be hopeless. Charles Fl. Davis, who
was the largest financial hacker of
previous Progressive campaigns, has
gone to Europe. leaving the party with
out funds.
Highly desirable as it might be to
be able to conduct reform movements
without funds. no one has yet invented
such system. 1t was for this very
reason that the practical men in the
Progressive movement in the nation
resented the efforts of the brothers
Pinchot to GUST George W. Perkins
from his position in the party Mr..
Perkins had furnished the sinews OF
war, and without the sinews the war
could not have been waged.
The financial hackers of political
movement, however, must be assured
of "a run for their money" before they
will produce their check books.
Their withdrawal is the best evidence
that the complete disintegration of the
Progressive party is in sight. The
out-and-out support that Col. Roose-
welt is giving to candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor In
New York and the expectation that he
will support Republican candidates in
other States indicated that complete
consolidation of the forces opposing the
Democratic party is to be witnessed in
the near future.

appeals to us as a boyish subterfuge.
The burden" would be upon the tax
payers, and the Democrats would make
political capital out of it, as would you
and your close political associates. The
Governor who would knowingly inflict
a useless expense OF many thousands
Of dollars upon the taxpayers for the
sake of putting the burden" upon an
irresponsible and don't-care political
opponent, would not be fit for Gov
ernor.
Were not the Democrats responsible,
likewise for defeating the workmen's
compensation law, woman's suffrage
and other measures desired by the
people of Maine, and for inflicting the
public utilities referendum to delay
the law? And, what satisfaction has
that been to the taxpayers and citi-
zens?
This talk of doing expensive things
on other peoples money, to place the
burden" upon an opponent, is poppy
cock. AS responsible man Of affairs
and as Governor looking after the
interests of Maine in manner beyond
honest criticism, we know and you
ought to know, that Governor Haines
cannot do that We might say that, as
you favor calling such an unavailing
ard useless legislative session. the
burden" would be on YOU, as a can
didate. but it seems to US that such
would be a pretty small excuse to offer
the taxpayers.
The Governor is responsible offic-
ial and wholly above such political
subterfuges.
Your open letter to the Governor"
had our full attention, we assure YOU,
before we ever published it--and we
deemed it one more example of your
"heckling." and of no credit to you or
your political associates.

Police Notify List of Places in Bangor
Selling Intoxicants to this Effect
Patrolmen Will Make Reports.

Hereafter there will be no dispensing
intoxicating beverages in this city after
the hour of 10 o'clock in the evening or
on the Sabbath day If the police can pre-
vent 1t. The word has gone out from
the police department to this effect, and
the mayor says that he is going to put
stop absolutely TO present existing con-
ditions. The chief of police has instruct
ed every patrolman of the three squads
operating in the city to submit to the
department a list of all places known
or suspected of selling liquor, all houses
of ill-fame or disorderly places. and all
of the places that are keeping open Sun
days or after 10 o'clock in the evening,
that they find on their beats. These lists
are to be submitted to the department
over the signature of the patrolnan MAX
ing the report and are to be placed on
file.
Chief T. E. O'Donohue, when he was
asked in relation to the new orders, ad-
mitted that the department was going
to enforce the regulations in regard to
closing at night and keeping closed Sum
days.
Some of the places in this city have
been selling all night and on Sunday.
There should be at least some decency
in the matter" said the chief when he
was asked about the new orders.
I'VE have been cleaning up lot of
the houses of ill-fame and disorderly re-
sorts in the city so far this year, and
have been working along this line with
as much progress as we have had time
for"
The mayor did not deny that the word
had gone out from the police department,
although he was not sure In what form
notice was given to those interested.
There are places in Bangor today"
said the mayor, especially clubs, where
more business Is done after 10 o'clock at
night and on Sunday than at any other
time
These places are frequented by the
younger element especially.
1--WE know that the condition exists and
now we are going to putaa stop to it, alb
solutely."
This is not the first time that Bangor
has been under a regulation from the
police department. In the time of Chief
Davis all saloons and other places where
liquor was sold were observing 10
O'Clock closing rule and nothing doing
on Sunday. 1t was observed. too, as IN
doubtedly this win be.

"Rusy Mr.. Gardner Again.
Portland, Me-. July 80, 1914

Editor Kennebec Journal:
In an editorial published in your is
sue of July 30th you say that because
| have discovered that the Governor
cannot call a special session OF the
LEGISLATURE to remove multiplying sher-
ifs | have stopped to the political
trickery of constantly heckling the
Governor
Will you please call to mind that the
Governor at one time in this campaign
made prohibition and the enforcement
of the prohibitory law the main is
sue of his campaign. He said that
he wished to be elected again in order
to enforce the prohibitory law and his
supporters on the stump and in the
newspapers constantly refer to con-
ditions in the State as supporting this
contention.
The situation in Penobscot county,
where I live, to say nothing of the
four or five other counties in the State
where liquor is sold more or less open
ly, is a matter of great importance in
connection with this issue.
I called attention to this situation in
your columns and the Governor asked
Sheriff O'Connell to resign. He did
not resign He is now the regular can
didate of the Republican party in Pc
nobscot county for sheriff. The Gov
ernor has met and conferred with him
in Bangor as a part of the regular Re-
publican organization. The Governor
asked for additional support for the
sheriff and said that conditions would
improve An extra attorney was CIV
en- Sheriff O'Connell to assist him.
Notwithstanding there is no record that
the regularly elected county attorney
had ever refused assistance.
The taxpayers of Penobseot county
have some concern in this matter and
if calling attention to the continued
and present notification of the prohfb-
tory law in Penobscot county is
"heckling' the Governor it is Of the
kind that is necessary and merited.
l call your attention to and ask you
to publish, headlines and all, the fol-
lowing article in the Bangor CONNER
cial CT July 29th, relative to the ac-
ton of the municipal officers in which
they have decided to take action to
close saloons after ten o'clock at night
and on the Sabbath; this action indi-
eating the gross notification of the
prohibitory law in Bangor.

Winfield Thompson, the Maine writ

ing expert on the Boston Globe, and
an authority on yachting matters ev-

Bath built yacht Defiance never had a
chance. AS we stated in this column
last week, the hull is of excellent de-
sign and faultless construction, but a
serious mistake was made at the out
set in the rig. The Defiance was over
spared and when this defect was dis
covered and an attempt was made to
rectify it, the yacht lost her speed. Mr..

Oxygen was discovered 140 years

senting English clergyman who had
turned scientist, obtained the hfth-
erto unknown gas by igniting mer-
curic oxide. The oxygen he thus
produced he called "dephlogistigat-

In those counties in Texas which

These are not the words of a

which has offered the most effective
opposition to the state wide prohibit
ton proposition in Texas. 1t lie an

Nevertheless, this paper backs up its
former assertion by continuing:

The Sting Of the Party Whip.

In the House of Representatives the
Republicans have been conducting a
long fight against the secret caucuses
by which the Democrats have bound
their members to united action on all
big legislation, thus placing individual
Congressman, who might otherwise
display little brain matter, under
the sting Of the party whip. The
Republicans have discussed all legis-
lative matters in open conferences,
and the public has been invited to be
present. The Democrats have framed
their bills in secret committee ses-
sions. smothering out all opposition
in their party In secret caucus, shut
ting off all debate by the gag rule,
and passed the bills through the lower
branch Of Congress just as they have
been sent over from the White
House.

"When He Ariseth to Shake Terribly
the Earth?

The very possibility of all Europe
becoming embroiled in war is APP
paIling. The human mind, If 1t
could, can hardly muster the courage
to picture the awful possibilities OF
such a conflict. With the sudden
ness, almost, of lightning from the
clear sky, has this possibility fallen
upon the world. Scarcely a week
ago, it was, that Austria Hungary is
sued an ultimatum to Servia that may
result in human bloodshed that will
wash in rivers where all the wars of
this hour bulletins from old world
centers tell of the hurried prepara-
tons for eventualities Martial rule
is being declared in every capital,
and the troops of every nation mobil-
lied for instant action. No one who
has followed the jealousies and am
billions of old world powers, in the
last double decade would deny that
Austria is already prepared and has
been watching for an excuse upon
which to sweep down and obliterate
the little power of Servia as a factor
In civilized affairs. How much far
Their this ambition extends, it is
hardly safe to conjecture, yet 1t is
known hIE ri hu
powerful German ally, longs to reach
the Aegean sea and thus be in strik-
ing distance of Constantinople. And
thus forever shutting off the recog-
nized purpose of Russia to accomplish
that end
Russia could not quietly submit to
this program and its recognized end
ing of its aspirations. Although
called upon suddenly to meet the con-
tingeney, it can hardly be expected
that Russia would do otherwise than
fight. The Servians are of Slavic
blood, which the Car and his ad-
visers could not permit effacement. On
the other side, is Germany, with its
great war lord" and his ambitions.
without doubt counseling, and count
ing the cost of, Austria's aggressive
policy. 1t is quite possible that
at this moment only one man in
Europe can withhold or infiict the
awful consequences of an over
shadowing conflict-and Emperor
William knows that the moment the
German war dogs are loosed upon
Russia in furthering the purpose of
Austria, France will strike from be-
hind with the ranying cry upon their
lips Of Remember Alsace- Lorraine"
England, too. can not sit quietly
while Germany and Austria expand
toward the Mediterranean; and the
hour would be opportune for Britain's
war party to advocate the breaking
down of Germanys powerful and
rapidly increasing naval rivalry.
Should the Emperor of Germany
urge Austria on. until Russia and
France are drawn into the conflict. it
seems probable that almost before
the world can grasp the possibilities,
every nation will be embroiIed and
Europe reeking with blood and havoc
