MAKE THE LAW.

In the recent raids by the gov
eminent in which thousands Of
reds were arrested, only aliens
were taken into custody. Reds
who could prove American citi-
zenship were allowed to go un-
molested.
The reasong 1t appears that
there is no federal law under
which a red who conspires to ov-
erthrow the government can be
punished, if he is an American
citizen. If. this lamentable state
of affairs be true, nothing is 70
be gained by crying over spilled
milk. But we can at least pre-
vent the milk being spilled sec
ond time. The situation is so
grave as to demand immediate
action by congress. Inaction at
this time may produce fatal re-
suits at a later date. Congress
should Immediately supply law
sufficiently drastic to effectual-
ly dispose of any person who con-
spires against the peace and Sc
curity of the government, wheth-
err that person be a citizen or an
alien.
This is not a political question |
1t is a vital matter of safety to
every law abiding citizen Of theI
United States.

BELFAST
C.. Of C.. Visits knox

Knox station was the rendezvous of
the Belfast Chamber of Commerce
this week and on Thursday night, so
strong, the members motored to the
little grange hall where one of the
most sumptuous banquets it has as
yet enjoyed. was served. The Cham
Der has begun to think that Waldo
county has a resource it has not as
yet advertised but which when all is
said and done, is about the biggest
resource of alI-the cooks in the out
lying towns. If the banquets which
have been served to the Belfast men
on these occasions are any criterion,
the women of Waldo county should
all have blue ribbons for the tempting
.yiands they have spread befose the
visitors from week to week have been
fit for king. 1t goes without saying
that as the proof of the pudding is
the eating, that the cooks themselves
have been satisfied with the. result of
their endeavors..
However it is not the inner man
alone that has been satisfied. Food
for thought there has been a-plenty
and at the meeting on Thursday
night the central theme of the after
dinner speaking was the building up
of Waldo county.

linguist of the Chamber. who can use

toast master and started the after
dinner speeches with some of his

serious vein with his hobby, Child
Welfare. He called upon Mayor Wes-
colt a native of Knox. who never fails
to receive a cordial welcome when he
visits his old home. place he has

building for Waldo County was most

Oct. rs, arriving at Chesuncook
Farm that night. The next day the
wardens reached the State Camp at
Eagle Lake, where they remained
that night. The following day. start
was made in q heavy rain to locate
the alleged beaver trappers. The
wardens padded down the lake to
the well-known Zeigler campground.
then went by trail to Horse Dam, So
called. Here they found the camping
ground of the suspected trappers.
The outfit consisted of two tents and
two canoes, indicating that at least
two men were implicated. Having
located the headquarters of the par
ty, the wardens quietly returned to
the warden camp and started out
again that night, at 10 o'clock, pro-
cceding down river to Churchill
Lake, where at the head of the lake
they noticed a light at the fire war
denis camp. Going over and landing
quietly, they looked the canoe and
outfit over and decided that there
was only one party at the camp, and
they suspected that he was one of
the men they were looking for. They
concluded he had evidently left the
home camp shortly after they were
in the vicinity in the afternoon, APP
parently coming down to look at
some Of the traps set around Church
i'll Lake. The wardens did not dis
turb this man that night, but went
down to the foot of Churchill lake.

the 28th, found. Game Warden Brown
and his assistant, who were then on
their way up river from a trip to the
great Northwestern boundary, where
they had been on duty.
II is needless to say that Warden
Brown was much surprised-this is
expressing it mildly-to have Mr..
Flint and his companion appear in
that country at that time of night.
After talking the matter over. the
wardens decided to make start early
in the morning up the lake to the fire

regular reports made by the scores of
chief, deputy and special game war
dens, some of them even thrilling in
description and detail. 1t so hap

have with them story Of interest

good foundation for long story or q

John X. Flint, chief game

", reports the payment Of
fine of 800 and costs taxed
at $3.50 by one Leyite Char
cite of Fort Kent for the iue-
Sal trapping OF one beaver.

ty. as made by the former in an ac-
companying report to the department
are much more exciting that the
brief business report.
The investigation was brought
about by information recently re-

the commissioner to believe that
beaver were being trapped in viola
ton Of the law in the vicinity Of
