A Personal Legislation "Joker."

| The army provision in the admins
more shameful make-shift than that
which led to Secretary Garrison's
resignation. Our former secretary Of
war warned the President Of the
senseless inadequacy of the Demo-
cratic military program. The Presi-
dent chose to accept Garrison's resig-
nation rather than take issue with
Chairman Hay, whose chief contribu-
ton to the legislation has been the
getting Of as much Democratic pork"
into it as possible.
Mr.. Hays effrontery as a promoter
Of pork" is astounding. He slipped
a joker into the bill in the conference
committee at the last moment which
makes his work in this particular,
masterpiece. This joker reads:
provided. further, that of the va
cancies created in the judge advocates
department by this act, one such va
cancy not below the rank of major,
shall be filled by the appointment of a
person from civil life not less than As
nor more than so years of age. who
shall have been for ten years a judge
of the supreme court of the Philippine
Islands, shall have served for two
years as a captain in the regular or
volunteer army, and shall be proficient
in the Spanish language and laws"
The only man who fills the require
ments Of Hays joker, is Judge Adam
G. Carson. Of the Supreme Court of the
Philippine Islands, now on leave in this
country. Judge Carson is a deserving
Democrat, and lives at Riverton Va, In
the Congressional district of Chairman
Hay.

And again, why were not funds
available" while prices were yet
within reach Of the appropriation?
Did not the State have money with
which to carry out the provisions Of
the Legislature? We had understood
that the administration had a "wad"
in every pocket.
1t seems to US and to those whom we
meet and those who write to US. that If
the intent Of the Legislature had been
"honored" within reasonable time, the
full purpose could have been met, well
within the appropriation. At this late
day, under the benign influence Of
Democratic reduction Of the high cos:
of living. that is impossible; SO now
the Governor and Council, propose to
do something else in their own way.
without authorization from any source,
setting their own judgment and desires
above those of the trustees. the Legis-
lature and the people.
In our humble opinion the Governor,
by interfering with the prerogatives Of
others and holding up the activities OF
those given a distinctive duty, has
seriously blundered and should be held
accountable for the cost to the State.
If he has a good and sufficient excuse
for delaying work that should have
been done, the opportunity for in
forming the people has arrived. Our
columns are open to him.
This is only one Of the disclosures;
there are others to which we hope to
refer without putting any sting into

Those Responsible.

During the coming campaign there
can be no lodging the issue on the
part of the Democrats. They have
been in complete control Of the Gov
eminent for about four years. Be-
cause the bulk Of both the members
and the leaders Of the Democratic
party come from the South the direc-
ton Of public affairs has been almost
wholly in the hands Of that section.
There is no way of showing this more
wildly than to print a list of the
principal committee chairmanships in
the Lower House;
Ways and Means-kitchin North
Carolina.
Webb. North Carolina.
Banking and Curreney-Glass, Vir-
glnia.
Commerce Georgia.
Rivers and Harbors = Sparkman,
Florida.
AsricuIture-Lever South Carolina
Foreign Affairs-Flood, Virginia.
Military AHairs-Hay, Virginia.
Naval Acknowledged, Tennessee.
Post Office-Moon. Tennessee.
RuIes-Henry. Texas.
Appropriations - Fitzgerald, New
York
that of Appropriations. held by Fitz-
gerald of New York, Is located north
of Mason and Dixon's line.-Collier's
Our exchange left out one of the
most important chairmanships of the
House, that of Public Buildings Of
which Clark of Florida. is chairman.
Then let us look still further into the
control of the government" by taking
note of important chairmanships Of the
Senate. Here they are:
Observation-Disclosures of Texas.
Banking and currency-Owens Of
Okla. from Virginia)
Commensurate Of Arkansas.
Agriculture-Goreo Of Okla. (Born in
Mississippi, lived in Texas before set
Ting in Oklahoma.)
Foreign Affairs-Stone of Missouri.
Military Affairs = Chamberlain Of
! Oregon. Born in Mississippi)
Naval Affairs-Tillman Of So Caro-
lima.
Post Offices-Ban khead of Ala
Rules-Overman OF No Carolina
Appropriations-Mar of Virginia
Public BuiIdings-Swanson Of Vir-
ginia.
No comment is necessary. If study
of the House committees is illuminat-
ing, a pursuit Of the same study in the
Senate is effulgent. The Solid South"
has had full opportunity to demon
strate it's genius and power.

the Augusta state Hospital appropria-

something to say to the Kennebcc

characteristic directness. to make re-
ply. Anticipating this. we embrace
the opportunity to urge the Governor
to make plain the right of the Governor
and Council to delay the duties of the
Hospital trustees. to inform the trus-
tees that the appropriation was mot
would be authorized" or "honored."
to delay the call for bids after the
plans had been approved and, above
all. what right the Governor and Coun-
ell has to take this matter out Of the
hands Of the trustees and proceed with
other plans than those laid down by
the Legislature and appropriated for
by that body.
These are some Of the questions
which are being asked by the people
who sent their representatives to Au-
gusta TO provide for their unfortu-
mates. The people have a right to
know. As we understand it the Legis-
iature intended for the Governor and
Council to withhold expenditure II they
could not conscientiously approve the
plans Of the trustees within the pro-
vision made. We cannot believe that
the LEGISLATURE intended for the Gov
ernor or anybody else to take the maj
ter out Of the hands Of the trustees,
otherwise why bother with trustees at
ell; why not put the whole matter IN
the hands Of the. Governor and his Of
fetal family?

"our Chief"

The sudden and wholly unexpected
death Of Hon. Edwin c. Burleigh. the
Governor" Our Chief" has almost
incapacitated the editorial force Of
this once. His friendship for all those
in connection with his newspaper, and
his ever thoughtful kindness and con-
sideration for them and theirs, had
endeared him to those whom he had
drawn around him as few men are
loved by associates. To write Of him
ir: this hour Of grief is the most diff
experience. To touch upon the closer
associations with this man whom all
Maine loved and honored is to tread
upon sacred ground, for we have never
known finer appreciation between
father and family than in the home
life Of Governor Burleigh. The per-
sonal charm of Governor Burleigh was
set in the concrete Of love for all hu
manity. His tolerance of others and
teristics impressed upon all who came
in contact with him, and those who
knew him best have loved him most.
That brilliant tact" which men in
the nations affairs recognized and re-
spected. was at its best in Governor
Burleigh's home surroundings. The
love for his fellow men which was
evident every hour in his associations
with the world was perfected as hus-
band. father and grandfather Big as
ne was in mind and body, he was never
beyond enjoyment of the presence and

ingly significant Of the decision which
he vas bound to reach. His whole
nature was sympathetic and when

cision was always for what he be-
lieved to he the ultimate best
Governor Burleigh bore his bereave-
ments bravely and softened his own

devotion and unceasing attentions of
his children. He told the writer that
he had promised her" to be brave for
the children's sake. but they saw be-
meath that brave exterior.
Realizing all these things from years
of close association with Governor
Burleigh. and flooded with a thousand
others that arise as we write, we feel
the ineffectiveness Of words. Perhaps
in calmer moments we shall write
more fully of the kindly spirit that
