A Pathetic Siuht

The bulletin boards which are on
the wall in the south corridor on the
third floor, just outside the entrance
to the Executive Department, on
which the list of acts and resolves
signed by the Governor are posted,
according to law for the information
OF the public, present a pathetic ap-
pearance, bearing as they do but two
lone titles, one of an act and one of a
resolve--the only measures passed by
the SOth Maine Legislature which re-
ceived the signature of Frederic H.
Parkhurst, during his brief tenure of
the office of Governor of Maine.
One was the emergency act which
provided for the expenses of the
session of the Legislature and the ex-
penses of all State affairs during the
session Of the Legislature. The other
was the resolve providing for the
maintenance Of the Blaine House. the
cfhcial residence of the Governor of
the State, also an emergency meas
ure.
These documents were carried to
the late Governor, who was of course
in bed. but who was always anxious
to attend to the States business
They were prepared with coverings of
paper and but the small space in
which the signature was to be placed
was exposed. The Governor, propped
up in bed, wrote his name-as clearly
and firmly as when in the prime Of
health.
The signature to the State expenses
act was attached on January 10, 1921.
That to the Blaine Mansion resolve
was on January 81.
