IN THE DAYS NEWS


Today is the sixty-second birthday
of Gen. Robert George Nivelle, the
famous French soldier who is coming
to America next month to represent
his government at the tercentenary
celebrations of the American May
flower Council. Few French generals
have had more distinguished career,
both at home and in the colonies. AT
the commencement of the late war ne
was colonel of a regiment OF field ar
tillery. Then came his wonderful de-
tense of Verdun, which led to his ap-
pointment as supreme commander OF
the French armies on the western
front. General Nivelle, it is inter-
esting to note, is half English. His
father was married to Miss Violet
Sparrow, a member of well-known
English family, and General Nivelle
has several relatives in the British
Navy.

fuence of intoxicating liquor. State
vs.. Harry G.. Milliken, the witnesses
called for the State were Sheriff
John a. Foster, II. y. Maxim, father
of the dead boy, Roy Maxim, a
brother of the late George and War
rem Wilband, a member Of the party
in the other automobile which was
proceeding the car later emolished.
Deputy Sheriff Foster took the
stand. He said that he was called
in to investigate the automobile case
about > O'Clock Friday morning. He
went to the scene of the accident
and found a Ford automobile beside
the road quite badly smashed. The
top of the car was completely
smashed. The top of the car was
completely smashed the steering
gear was broken. lie went to a near
by house and secured two men to
go to the car and watch it. Then
Deputy Sheriff Foster telephoned to
Sheriff Harwood and County Attor-
rey Sanborn.
Information which he thought
sufficient was obtained by Sheriff
Foster and he went after John and
Fred Paradier. He found them at
their home asleep. He then went
to the wood lot back of Norris
where MillikeR was operating his
portable saw mill
Shriff Foster said that the first he
saw OF Milliken was about IL O'Clock
Thursday night coming out of DR..
Sanborn's office in Winthrop. The
sheriff further testified thar he had
10 conversation with Milliken al that
time and that he detected the odor of
old cider about Milliken. Plight around
2.30 Friday morning Mr.. Foster saw
the fatal car when the father of the
dead Maxim came after him. At that
time Mr.. Foster said that nc detected
the smell of cider on a blanket il the
car and on the ground around the car.
The care showed evidences Of going
off the road and looked as e it had
struck a big Sowlder on one side of
the road. He since had placed Mr.
Milliken under arrest.
Horatio y. Maxim of WAYNE. a
farmer and the father Of the late
George Morris Maxim, was next call
ed to the stand. His boy left home
Thursday morning about O'clock and
he didn't return Thursday evening as

from each candidate whether he
would continue the present policy of
keeping the Highway. Fish and
Game, Sea and Shore Fisheries and
Forestry departments, out of parti-
san politics, making efficiency the
test of the selection of employees.
The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court of holding the
18th amendment and Volstead Act
constitutional signalizes the final
triumph in the nation of Names
traditional policy of prohibition,
except for the possible adverse
action by future Congress
changing the definition of intoXicat-
ing liquors. If such a danger should
become apparent, would each of the
candidates advocate a State statute
fixing the percentage of alcohol at
one-half of one percent. the rate
embodied in the present Volstead
Act? Such a bill was introduced at
my suggestion in the last Legislature
but failed of passage. I was obliged
to accomplish the same result by
securing the passage of an act fix
ing the percentage of alcohol in ac-
cordance with the Federal act
Business men like those composing
your organization would especially
like to know whether each of the
candidates, if nominated and elected
would devote his entire time to the
duties of his office. No definite state
ment from either of them on this
point has been given to the public.
1t has been suggested that full time
service by the Governor is now re-
quired by law but in fact such is
not the case The law specifies
merely that the Governors Office at
Augusta shall be open four day. a
week with either his private secre-
tary or himself in attendance. There
is nothing in this Statute which
would prevent a return to the old
policy under which the Council met
only once month and the Govern
or spent a small part of his time at
Augusta.
l concur in your opinion that the
people are entitled to the best pos
sible information as to the policies
and qualifications of candidates for
office. You viii doubtless agree with
me that a public man can DE judged
more accurately by his record than
by his promises and the promises of
the candidate should be estimated in
the light of his record.
If. in any respect, I have failed
TO answer your questions clearly,
please let me know.
Very truly yours.

bonds. The respondent would have
gone bonds for Wilband but this was
refused as not appropriate. Messrs.
Staples and Frye. Milliken's bonds
men, also went bonds for Wilband.
Fred Paradier and John Paradier,
the occupants of the rear seat of the
car in which George Morris Maxim
met his death, were arraigned on
charges of intoxication. Witnesses
were called for the plaintiffs in both
cases but the defendants plead not
guilty and waived examination. They
were both found guilty and fined five
dollars and costs, the sum being in
each case, STD. .
The municipal court room was
crowded with witnesses and specta-
tors when these several hearings
were in process. Harry G. Milliken,
the respondent in the first two cases,
showed very plainly the effects of
the automobile accident as the right
side of his face was badly swollen
and corn.

perate resort in case all other means
for development fail.
There can be no doubt in the minds
of any considerable number of people
about my attitude on the water pow
er question. On this subject, as well
as other public questions of the last
Is years l am on record through my
terms of service as a member of the
Legislature and as Governor.
Speaking before the Republican
State Convention at Portland in
March, 1918. l said:
THE Importance of water power as
a great natural resource of our State
is emphasized by the present uncer-
tainty and scarcity of the fuel sup
ply. The State has two plain duties
in this connection: First, to retain
the power within our borders for the
use and benefit of our own people:
second, to encourage the development
of water power under conditions that
will assure its availability for indus
trial and household use at reasonable
rates without injustice to capital
honestly and prudently invested in
such projects. Our great danger is
the desire of selfish interests outside
of Maine to exploit our water powers
for their own profit beyond the Dor
derS of our State. This danger was
recognized ten years ago by Govern
or Fernald and at his suggestion the
Legislature of 1909 passed law for
bidding the transmission of electric
nptCida tho 70
company might sometime succeed in
evading this general law, but evil
IDENTIFY such a corporation would be
bound by the provisions of it's own
charter. 1t is. therefore, my belief
that all new charters of power COM
panies should contain a clause for
bidding the transmission of electric
power outside the State without the
express consent of the Legislature
and that every existing power COM
pany asking for an amendment to
its charter at any session of the Leg
islature should have this amendment
added also. Accordingly, after the
passage of a general law in 1909, it
was my custom as a member of the
Legislature to offer this amendment
whenever the charter of a power
company appeared before us, and,
during the session of 1917. gave no.
tice to the leaders in both branches
of the Legislature that l would not
approve any new water power char
ter nor any material amendment to
any existing charter without the ad-
dition of this clause. This will con-
tinue to be my policy if I have any
thing to do with another session Of
the Legislature"
My address to the Legislature at
the opening of the session in 1919
contained the following:
