What HUGHES Was This ?"

My. John Palmer Gavit. mapaoiro
editor OF the Democratic New York
Evening Post, has presumed to write
the political epitaph of Charles Evans
Hughes. Influenced by regret for the
nations loss, Mr. Gavit analvzes with
keenest comprehension the factors de-
termining Mr.. Hughes defeat He
conceives in admirable politica, saga
city the tragedy of the rejection hv the
people Of a Hughes who was not the
real Hughes. His article is headed
What Hughes Was This" He adj
vances the premise that the voters
have preferred Wilson because they at
tributed to him qualities which those
who know both men know are rather
those of Hughes.
They have rejected Hughes" he
asserts. because he permitted them to
see in him defects which in reality are
those Of WILSON,
Mr. Gavit is a part of the machinery
of great newspaper which, through
political expediency. appealed for Dem
ocracy's vindication. Freed of this en-
barrassing bond he is frankly mortified
by the peoples verdict 1t is a sterling
tribute to big man by big man who
understands. 1t is an apology for Mr..
Hughes misconception of his moral OBJ
legation to his record-said moral OBJ
legation being defined by Mr.. Gavit
The composition rings with sincerity.

Mr.. Gavit surpasses himself In his
harshest criticism of Mr.. Hughes
course he is beautifully compassionate
There is not, after all. such a differ
ence between the machinery of the
New York Evening Post and the ma
chinery Of a political party.

Mr.. Hughes subscribed so heartily to
the policies Of the men who nominated
him. to the Republican organization. to
the inoffensive tenets Of the campaign.
Mr.. Hughes might have realized the
overwhelming victory indicated last
July. He believes that Mr. Hughes,

shall hold Office during the pleasure of
the governor"
That law would be a gem. 1t would
be both explicit and unique. 1t would
be as original as it is brief. The gov
ernor would then become sort Of
super-sherif. His principal qualifica-
ton for the Office would be his ability
to handle enforcement in such a way as
to get the most votes for his party and
to ensure that perfect corporation of
the professional prohibitionist and the
rumseller which has been one of the
interesting features Of Maine politics
for many years and which, unfortun-
ately for both Of these classes of citi-
zens seems likely to be done away
with.
The people of Maine are beginning to
tire Of pretense. They are going to
demand enforcement all right. And
just as soon as they understand the
situation as clearly as does Judge EN-
cry. they will get it, because they will
then know how to get it. When they
realize that enforcement depends
wholly on local officials and the courts,
and not on the governor, they will take
care Of the local officials and find q
way to reach the courts.
Making the governor guardian Of
sheriffs and county attorneys is not
the remedy for notification. The
guardianship theory of government
played out years ago. The hole in that
proposition Is that governors are inst
as apt to need guardians as are sher.
MS and to make it fool proof it would
De necessary to give somebody power
TO remove the governor if he did not re-
move the sheriffs and then we would
need someone to remove the man who
ought to remove the governor, provid-
ing he did not act promptly in his

system got top heavy and fell down.
A whole lot simpler plan is to leave

Let Us Face the Facts.

In our Letter Box, this issue, we pub
lish a letter from Hon. w. r. Pattan-
gall. his second in a series of con-
troversial notes" between him and
former Chief Justice Emery. All the
letters are interesting and instructive.
We hope they will continue, in the
same spirit of friendly discussion. to
acquaint Maine with the weaknesses Of
its laws and the direct road to provi-
sions that will give the people what
they demand in spite of the apparent
determination Of part Of the courts,
and county and local officials to de-
feat that purpose.
We wish to applaud Mr.. Pattangall
for his unequivocal declaration for {.
fair trial Of the laws we have. That Is
all We ask, that all get together
courts, county and local officials, and
executive heads-and enforce Names
prohibitory law to the letter.
Neither courts, officials nor parties
have right to interpret the peoples
desire as contrary to a majority vote.
II the voters are hypocrites then let
them suffer for their pretense If, as
perhaps Mr.. Pattangall hopes, drastic,
incorporating enforcement Of the
law and infection Of provided penal
ties will throw the State back to DEM
ocracy and repeal of prohibitory law,
then let us accept 1t as the peoples
wish.
If there is a public desire not ex-
pressed in majority vote, then it is,
without question. in favor of the strict
est kind of prohibition-the desire of
the women and children who cannot
vote.
Courts. county and local officials
know what the people hoped for from
the laws they have made. This hope
has been betrayed by politicians, played
with by social folly, Knocked by the
courts, and conspired against by Off
Gals.
Let these legal experts get together
and provide means of Furnishing null
hfylng officials. Of removing those who
are Weakened or can't see, of holding
courts to such Interpretation of the
laws as shall secure the manifest in
tent OF the law. Let them put it in the
hands of the executive and hold him
and his party responsible for enforce
ment of law until majority shall re-
peal the law. If a majority desires re-
peal after term of real enforcement
Former Chief Justice Emery and
Attorney General Pattangall are on the
right track; let LIS have the facts and
lace them. Let such experts forget
politics and advise the people and the
peoples representatives how to secure
until we get enough of it, what the
people pretend to wish.

Henry Ford says that in order to sue
coed a man must understand human
fear criticism. whosoever does anything
will stir up critics. Criticism, he says, is
like such weeds as are full of fertilizing
qualities. Just plough criticism in and
let it fertilize your thinking" Everything
he has learned, he says, has been be-
cause of criticism and the thinking which
the criticism induced. Ford is quite right.

shows enterprise on the part of the
Pejepscot Paper Co. to be able to
supply an out of the State demand
for spruce trees from their nursery.
This week the company shipped 5000
trees out of the State, and soon
will send several thousand more. 1t
is the intention Of the company to
make this a profitable industry, as
well as to assist in the reforester-
ing of much waste land. This is Ger
tainly a commendable move on the

The Maine Historical Society has in its
possession bottle filed with soil from
old Dindee, a tract of land in Limington,
owned by the heirs of Sewell Thompson
The land has been in the possession of
the Smalls since 1918, when 1t was sold
to Francis Small by an Indian Sycamore.
Edward Small, an ancestor OF Sewell
Thompson, came to Limington, IN the
northern part of York county, In 1886,
from Biddeford, Eng.
The Bar Harbor rightly takes to task
the summer visitors at that resort who
arrive at the opening Of the season
with one or more kittens or cats, keep
them we'll through the summer ana
then leave them behind at the begin
ming of the cold weather, to shift for
themselves and perhaps to starve to
death unless cared for by the villagers.
It says:
1.-THE crop of stray cats which comes
into evidence upon the closing or the
various summer homes here, and the
departure of their owners for the city,
is testimony of the cruelty which is
wrought by thoughtlessness and care
lessness. 1t is so much pleasure to have
a kitten through the summer months.
The family enjoys so much the antics
of the cunning little animal In Oc-
tober or November, when the cottage is
closed and the family returns to the
city, it is too much trouble and ex-
pense to take the kitten along, and
there Is iiO place III eiS lily hoiIAC
where it may be taken care of. So poor
pussy is left behind. Cold and snow
come on and sheltered, sleek, cunning
pussy, the pet of the household, with
her bed down cellar or out in the shed,
and her saucer of cream and chicken
bones for every meal, grows gaunt and
unkempt. and wanders from place to
place, trying to find home, or at least
shelter from the chilly wind and a few
scraps from a neighbours swill barrel.
1t is a cruelty all the worse because Of
the thoughtlessness with which it is
committed. Pussy is simply deserted
by her owners and left to shift for
herself, to become. a famished spectre,
haunting back-yards and alleys. and
carrying disease germs from the scraps
upon which she feeds. If you must go
off and leave pussy for the winter, if
you cannot find a good home for her.
at least have her mercifully put out of
the way rather than to drag out
miserable existence till famine and cold
finish her"
