Attorney General Pattangali has
given an opinion that no appointment
made by former State administra-
ton to fill vacancy occurring within
seven days Immediately preceding
the expiration of the term OF the
governors council should be valid,
provided that the law in sach case re-
quired the confirmation of the coun-
Gil. The opinion was rendered in the
case of the appointment of W. s. Pay
son, of Castine, to succeed himself as
q member of the State board of den
tai examiners. Mr.. Payson's term
did not expire until January l, and
the attorney general contends that
the retiring governor had no right to
make an appointment until vacancy
existed.

The island Of Mt. Desert has taken
warning by the inroads being made
on the forests OF the island by the
movable saw mill, and Representa-
tive Morrison, Of Eden, has presented
in the legislature bin for the protec-
ton OF the forests of the island. .This
bill goes as Ear as it can in aiming to
protect the forests from fire. Protec-
tioc from the axe can only come by
purchase of lands and creation of forest
reservations. Why should not Maine,
which reaps SO large harvest each
year from it's summer resort business,
take steps to conserve this business
by creating forest reservations? And
is there a better place to begin than
Mt. Desert island? Doubtless wealthy
summer residents of the island would
contribute literally to any State fund
created for the purchase and perpet-
nal reservation of forest lands on Mt.
Desert.

the abbreviation for February-Feb. = means
freeze everybody, and that man looked frozen
in his ulster. 1t was apparent that he needed
the kind Of warmth that stays, the warmth
that reaches from head to foot, all over the
body. We could have told him from personal
knowledge that Hoods sarsapariila gives
permanent warmth, 1t invigorates the blood
and speeds it along through artery and vein,
and really fits men and women, boys and
girls, to enjoy cold weather and resist the at
tacks OF disease. 1t gives the right kind Of
warmth, stimulstes and strengthens at the
same time, and all its benefits are lasting.
There may be suggestion in this for you.

Lucilius A. Emery, ex chief justice of
the Maine supreme court, contributes to
The Yale Lnw Journal thought prove ok
enough of our states to justify calling it
general, 70 change the working OF our
jury system by transferring to the jury
men part Of the power intrusted under
the English common law TO the Judge.
This, in Justice Emery's opinion, de-
creases rather than increases the proba-
bility that trials will end in just and cor
rect decisions.
Jurymen, he ssys-and of course it is
undeniable are more likely than are
judges to be influenced by the avowedly
partisan appeals OF counsel, and when the
judge is forbidden by statute, rs he is in
several states, to do more than expound
the law applicable in . given case, the
relativesski and eloquence OF the respec-
tive counsel on the two sides are apt to
weigh more in its determination than do
the instrinsic merits.
In Georgia, new trial is granted il the
judge expresses or even intimstes an
opinion as to what has and has not been
proved. The sympathies and prejudices
of community, too. have greater weight
with jurymen than with judges, and JUS
tice Emery instances the Frank case as
one in which the accused person was con-
victed against the weight OF evidence
on evidence that now il generally believed
to have been Enthusiastically and insult
cient. Had there been on the bench an
unfettered Judge, with the common Law
privileges OF instruction and comment,
the result, he Gays, might have been diff
ferent.
1t is notorious that the party sure that
his cause is just is usually willing to have
it decided by judge, or board OF judges,
while those without this confidence prefer
jury trial, with the jurymen as free as
possible from control from the bench and
as much as possible at liberty to heed the
arguments of the cleverest lawyer. Then
'stwelve ordinary men, fortuitously as
sembred, without individual response
bility, often inexperienced and unskilled
in the sitting and weighing Of evidence,
forbidden the aid OF disinterested. experts,
aHu oiFu phohc ~ uectoe uPou AUPuicS VI
first impressions, rather than after pa
tient, dispassionate, laborious reasoning,
decide questions affecting the citizens
liberty, property and reputation" This,
Justice Emery declares, is government by
jury, not by law.
The article referred to in the above edi-
turial from the Times will be repu biished
in full in the Maine Latr f2epiep.

The State Highway.

While the State highway commits
sion has not as yet, as we understand
it, officially designated the route for
the State highway from Bangor to
Bar Harbor except that part of it ly-
ing between Ellsworth and Bar Har-
Dor, it is understood that the commits
sion has decided to adopt the route by
way Of Bucksport.
The proposed route follows the
river road from Bangor to Buckspor.,
thence east on the Bucksport- Ellis
worth road to the To-day pond road,
thence by the To-day pond road to
Surry and from Surry to Ellsworth.
Members of the highway commission
and it's engineers went over this route
last summer. While the route is
longer by several miles than the d.
rect road between Bangor and Els
worth, the commissioners believe the
expense of construction would not be
as great.
The route throughout the western
part of Hancock county will undoubt-
eddy meet with the hearty approval
of that section, and when the State
highway is tapped by State aid roads
built by the several towns. it will give
that section OF the county asplendid
system. This is fiourishing section
of the county, with large farming
interests and rapidly growing sum-
ner population. 1t deserves good
roads; what is good for one section Of
the county is good for all, and which
ever route the State highway follows
is good for Hancock county.
But what Ellsworth, Bar Harbor,
and the eastern sectionsof the county,
as well as Washington county, de-
mand is good road between Bangor
and Ellsworth, call it by any name
you please. This road is one of the
poorest, most dangerous and at the
same time one of the most travelled
highways in eastern Maine. The
hills, sharp turns, lodges and narrow
stretches OF the road make 1t danger
.ous for automobile travel. These are
the very things which make it an ex-
,pensive road to build-too expensive
for the towns alone TO build properly
and to maintain. Instead of the ex-
pense being an argument against the
designation Of this road as the State
highway, it should be an argument in
1ts favor.
There IL now before the legislature
. resolve for special appropriation
OF S25, 600 for the Improvement Of
this road. OF course, II this il passed
there will be less cause for complaint
in the eastern section Of Hancock
county, for as We said before, what ID
demanded IL . good road by any
name, be it State highway or State
aid.
