When it's too dark to see?

The rooster crows at dawn?

When I have grown man

The Lewiston Sun Cuts the Cord.

While those servers Of the Demo-
cratic machine that is fabricated by
the slush Of the liquor interests, are
sneering at DR.. Berry and crying
"bravo." at the Governor for his flip
pant antagonism Of friendly approach.
the Lewiston Sun, an honest Demo-
cratic paper that cannot be ridden by
machine or rum trust, speaks out the
truth. Law abiding Democrats Of
Maine who are tired of this party SER
vice Of the liquor interests. will be
grateful to the Lewiston Sun for the
following honest presentation of the
facts:
I'VE think Mr.. Berry IS right. Gov
ernor Curtis ought not to plead ne
can't do anything-not until he has
called the legislature in extra ses-
SION.
I'VE would like to see this legisla-
ture take Sheriff Davis in hand. Make
him explain his raids, as well as his
failures in raid.
GOFeTnOE NuTtIo PACu 49,
what is it but a pela that he isn't the
stun to make a governor Of?
And Governor Curtis plea clinches
on the Democratic party the respon-
sibility and the shame OF sheriff IL
cense in Lewiston"
II few more Democratic papers
would speak out as plainly and as
honestly state the case, there would
soon be no official connivance with
rum dealers; the talk of personal lib
erty" to raise the devil would cease;
and respect for law would become con-
tagious and infectious.
We are glad to see the largest and
best Democratic newspaper in Maine
sever itself from the suspicion OF rum
subserviency.

p,eted taking the school census of
Houlton has gone to a great deal OF
trouble and obtained much more val
liable information. The population OF
Houlton he finds to be 1924, an increase
of 1915 in the past 5 years, and this
gain TOO from the fact that many B.
& A. employees have moved to Oak
field with their families. Mr.. SWEET
finds the following: Children Of school
age ) to 90, 1904; population, 1924;
number of males, 1885, number Of fe-
males, 33Ss; number of foreign born.
1855; number of American born, 5139;

c. Harry Wheeler of Houlton, while
coming through the long woods near
Haynesville on Sunday about dark,
struck an object in the road. Stop
ping his car for investigation he found
young fawn struggling in the road,
which upon examination was found
to be uninjured. 1t was placed in the
car and brought home and on Monday
it was running about the house as
lively as kitten, seemingly perfectly
contcnted and drinking it's milk from
dish as though it had always been
accustomed to so doing. Mr.. Wheeler
has written to the Game commission
ers, asking permission to keep it.
While it is stated that Benjamin F.
Dutton. who recently died in Maiden,
Mass, was the first person in the Unit
ed States to employ women clerks in
dry goods store, Saco historians
assert that the honor belongs to the
late Benjamin F. Hamilton of Saco.
Mr.. Hamilton when alive made the
claim and 1t was never disputed. 1t
was printed in the Globe some years
before he died. Mr.. Hamilton made
frequent trips to Boston, and he told
his friends many times that it was
several years after he placed women
behind his counters that it was done
by Boston merchants. He said that
he had made repeated inquiries in
large cities, and he was positive that
he was the first man to hire women
clerks.
Fishermen are placing their own
construction upon the law passed by
the last Legislature relative to open
time on scallop fishing in Penobscot
Bay. Some say that the famous
Monroe Island beds are included in
this privilege, and others say that
the limit is to the eastward, and
opens only those islands in the east
ern bay. The open season begins
next Tuesday. and some of the fisher
men will not be slow to test the mat
ter as there is sure to be lively de-
mand for the shellf1sh. The market
is. however. limited to the State, and
as many of the smacks have gone
elsewhere, the scallop fleet will have
none of the numerical strength which
marks 1t in winter.

Pure Food Law.

No other national legislation within
the last quarter of a Gentry. has done
more to protect and promote the
health of the American people and
prevent financial loss through fraud
and deception than has the national
pure food law, which was enacted in
1906 by Congress that was Republic
can If both branches, and signed by
Republican President.
This law was peculiarly a Republic
can idea for it asserted the power of
the general government to enact legis-
lation of this kind a power which was
denied by Democrats who were advo-
Gates of the doctrine of States rights.
President Wilson apparently over
looked this law when he said recently
that the Republican party had not had
a neN. idea in 80 years. The only
votes cast against the bill were by
Democrats, and one Of those was by
Congressman A. S. Burleson Of Texas,
now postmaster general. the only
member of that Congress specially
honored by President Wilson.
While commonly referred to as a
pure food law" the act regulates the
manufac ture and sale Of not only food
but drugs, confectionery, medicines
and liquors; insures purity, prevents
misbranding. prohibits adulteration,
requires full weight and measure, and
forbids use of poisonous and deleteri-
Gus substances.
The law requires that If certain
habit forming drugs be contained in q
medical preparation. that fact shall be
plainly stated on the label and that
the quantity Of alcohol contained in
medicine be specified. 1t prohibits re-
moving part or all Of the contents Of
d receptacle and substitution of anoth-
er article different from that indicated
on the package. In the case Of foods
put up in packages. it requires that
the weight or measure be specified on
the label. Sale or packing Of partly
decomposed meats is forbidden. All
these provisions were necessary for
the protection of public health and for
the prevention Of fraud In the manu-
facture and sale of food and drugs.
The enactment of the pure food law
was largely due to the persistent rec
concentrations Of Republican Presi-
dent. The bill which became a law
was introduced in the Senate by Re-
publican senator, Hepburn Of Idaho.
and although it had only four negative
votes in that branch of Congress, those
four votes were recorded by Demo-
Gratis.
The bill met more vigorous oppose
ton in the House where a minority re-
port was filed against it by Repre-
sentatives Adamson, Bartlett and
Russell. Democratic members Of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce. who asserted that pure food
legislation is a matter within the
jurisdiction of the several states, and
not within the jurisdiction Of the gen.
eral government.
Only II members of the House had
the temerity to vote against the bill
but every one of these was a Demo-
crat. The pure food bill was one new
Republican idea that they couldn't ap-
prove.
A case of Maine interest in pure food
law has come to public notice in the
city Of waterville. 1t was charged
that a firm there had meat unfit for
food in Its store. The meat in
spector Of the board Of health ordered
1t held but It was removed In

STOCK AND CROP NEWS.

Indications point to heavy prune
crop in the Spokane district this sea-

The estimated damage to the fruit
crop at Prosser, Wash, from the cleo
trical storm runs into thousands of
dollars. Pear growers, who had just
started to ship, are the heaviest losers.
1t is too early to determine the losses
of apple growers.
e. Wagner & Son, through their
representative, ]. II. Dengel, at We
natchee, have now contracted for over
100000 boxes of standard apples,
straight orchard, at an average price
of 81 a box, and he is still buying
lots throughout the valley. On each
box of apples bought an advance OF
10 cents a box has been paid to the
grower or unit. The balance will be
paid on delivery. The majority of the
apples are intended for the Australian
and South American markets. In look
ing over the contracts it is seen that
80 varieties have been bought and
that over $25, 900 has already been dis
tributed.

ABE RUFF ASKS PAROLE.
Has Served Half of Fourteen-Year SEN
tence-Not to Resume Activity.

San NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ruef, once
a political power in San Francisco, now
serving a 14-year term in San Quentin
prison for offering a bribe to a San
Francisco supervisor, has included in
his application for parole a request that
he be debarred from entering San
Francisco county within 80 days, il
has been learned Ruef has completed
service of four years and five months,
half the net time of his sentence, al
lowing for good behavior credits.
George b. Keane, attorney for Ruef,
says Ruef feared his presence in San
Francisco during the municipal cleo
ton campaign now in progress might
result in enemies charging that he had
resumed political activity. To fore
stall this Keane said Ruef asked that
he be prevented from coming here.
Hearing on Ruef's application has
been set on the calendar for Aug. 81,
at San Quentin, by the state board Of
prison directors. No objections have
been offered to Ruef's parole, Keane
said, and he expects it will be granted.
The board has on it's calendar about
1866 cases. Ordinarily not more than rs
cases are considered at the sessions,
which are held monthly at each prison.
Meyer Ruef, the prisoners aged
father, died last year. His mother has
been very i'll for some time.

BR EVITIES.

The cod fishery along the entire
Labrador coast has been total fail
ure so far this season, according to a
wireless received from the Labrador
mail steamer Saginaw, which is now
in the north. She reports that there
is little chance for catch during Au-
gust and September.
A. w. Cooper, secretary Of the West
ern Pine Manufacturers association,
has announced the total shipments
and cut of lumber for the month
ended June 30, as follows: Shipments:
1914, 40 mills, 1905 carloads, S6,496,-

Preliminary plans designed to make
available the resources of the federal
reserve system in the annual fall
movement of crops have been worked
out by the federal reserve board.
Writing to the 10 regional banks the
board pointed out in letter made pub
lie this week how members of the sys-
TEN may help to finance the crop
movement. The boards action was
taken, the letter says, to forestall any
possibility of congestion of crops this
fall or lack of financial aid to move
them, and to avoid a recurrence of the
stringency which in the past has
marked this movement.
The tolls collected for use Of the
Panama canal during July were the
largest since the waterway has been
in operation. The total was $573, 1865

excess of earnings for the year ended
June 30 were $230,S3S, the total oper
ating expenses for the year being 81,
343,3S3. The total earnings for the
year amounted to $4,112,550, which
does not take into consideration the
interest on the capital invested
charges against depreciation, sinking
fund and other like general items, mol
about $4,000 which was deducted
from the earnings on account of gov
eminent vessels using the canal.

JAIL TRUsTY is ATTACKED.
Men Outside With Bar Flee and
Escape Bullet.

Escape Bullet.
Fenton Johnson, federal prisoner
at the county Jail in Spokane, who has
been allowed the privileges of trusty
while serving two months for improper
use of the mails, suffered a cut on the
head and wound on the wrist from fly
ing glass early Saturday morning when
individuals from the outside thrust a
bar through the window. The injured
man was hurried to the emergency
hospital, where it was found his in
juries are not serious.
Officer Bowers had heard noises in
the cells in the top of the Jail and had
gone to investigate when the scantling
was thrust through the glass and the
hand of Johnson was grabbed. Johnson
shouted for help and was released. Of
ficer Bowers rushed to the window and
saw the men flee. but was unable to
halt them when he fired.
While some deputies were of the
opinion the attack might have been
made by some enemy of Johnson or of
Bowers. the sheriff is confident some
one planned to aid a prisoner to es-
cape.
A foreigner and a soldier had been
seen about the Jail earlier in the night,
according to the officers. Martin Knez-
vich and Robert Wuescich, Montene-
grins held on murder charges, may
have planned an escape with the aid OF
an accomplice, according to Sheriff
Waller.

Self-development is the end to be
sought, if it is desired to expand the
capacity to achieve wealth, and to en-.
Joy it. Men have made fortunes by
making fortune-getting their sole aim
only to find that they were untitled to
take the place in life to which their
money entitled them, after it had been
acquired. With no interests in com
mon either with the working or the
leisure class, their positions are not
to be envied. Mental poverty is the
most distressing of all poverty.
