Maine Authorities Obligated

Governor Baxter tells only the

violation of the prohibitory law are
the well-to do. They. make the
bootlegging and rum running bust
ness SO profitable by the prices they
seem willing to pay for contraband

where, under State prohibition, there
were scores. The poor person is
living within the law because he
cannot afford to pay the price but
the rich and we'll do are buying
booze lavfshly and, in our opinion,
will continue doing SO as long as it
can be bought.-Portland Press
Herald.-But we are yet under State
prohibition as we'll as Federal pro-
hibition. Our authorities, whose
duty it is to see that the laws are
enforced. are just as much obligated
now to prevent liquor selling as ever
they were. If conditions are dis

IMMIGRATION

"All that the upright and sensible
iority--want of us is that we learn
the language of the nation of which
we are a part, acquire its way Of
thinking, become familiar with its
institutions, take active part in its
social and political life and be loyal
TO their ideals. Such an immigrant
is always a desirable and valuable
addition and will be respected by the
Americans. Let us act in America
IS we would have the foreign born
act in Poland"
This excellent advice is from a
Polish paper published in this coun-
try. Would they all were giving such
good advice. That, however, is too
much to expect. Yet this country
must expect and insist on certain
things from the immigrant to whom
it opens it's gates.
In any country there inevitably are
those Indifferent if not directly hos
tile to the government under which
they live, to the ideals it respects and
lacking the initiative or even the de-
sire for improvement. When added
to these come millions of people who
de- not understand our language, do
not comprehend our laws, our pur-
poses or the processes under which
our civilization has been constructed
the country cannot help bat lose
somewhat of respect at home and
abroad. Such conditions continued
must be productive of grave menace.
This cannot be successfully denied;
ii is not susceptible of rational dis
pute; it ought to be apparent to all
intelligent people.
1t will not suffice merely to say
that the alien is thrifty and indus
trious. We must know where his
heart is, in this land or back whence
he came. 1t should not allay our
apprehensions to learn that he is
honest, we must know whether he
brings with him the prejudces in
grained by illtreatment under the
laws of his native country, and
comes to us in a spirit OF hostility to
all government control: whether he
comes with head full of vagaries and
with n mind unframed to think COR
rectly for himself. We already have
enough Of those. native and foreign
born; until we have properly dealt
with those we would be most unwise
to further aggravate a perilous con-
dition.
All this may seem unnecessary to
repeat. 1t is not. Already those
who are seeking cheap labor are agi-
tating TO let down the bars once
more. They are telling us the work
must be done. It were better the
/ work went undone than that the
country should become undone. 1t

NJ Deering, a prominent Bath ship
builder. This house was built in
1903 and was originally known as
>Skepard's Inn, having been built by
George Shepard for a tavern and
from one corner hung sign bearing
the name of the tavern and showing
a picture of a man dismOunting from
a horse. A part of the iron braces
which supported the sign are still to

Shepard's Inn was one Of the best
known public houses in that part OF
Maine and it was there that the big
yellow coaches used to draw up to
allow passengers to enter while the
horses were taken to the big stable
in the rear for their rations. The
house has been kept in the best OF
repair and kept as nearly as possible
in it's original form, with the eXcep-
ton of the second story, which in
the old days could be thrown into
one big room by partitions which
could be raised and hooked up to the
ceilings when occasion demanded.
Deep windows and shutters were
used while the place was an inn.
There is an open fireplace in every
room, a reminder that stoves were not
in vogue in those days. One feature
about this house which can be sell
dom found in New England today,
is the wall paper in some OF the

is covered with pictures, which gives
it the appearance of theatrical seem
