Governor Sweet of Colorado, though
a Democrat, refused Democratic adj l.
vice from such eminent members of
his party as Woodrow Wilson, Will
lam G. McAdoo and William Jennings
Bryan, when it came to appointing a
Senator to represent the State of Col
cIado. The selection appears to be a
good one from a Democratic stand
point, nevertheless, though opposed
by the so-called progressivcs of T., t
party in the State. Anyhow Sweet
has emphasized the fact that he and
rot Bryan or Wilson has the respon-
sibility Of making the choice.

ney to surrender. Probable cause

is made out by John J. Dorler of the
Congress Square Lunch in this city

"A MATTER OVERLOOKED

Some of those, who have stood in
line to get their license to drive a
/, car. have been impressed by some
who have secured license. Not
however. impressed with the idea
that they would wish to have those
particular individuals drive car fol
them or would care to meet them on
perilous turn in the road. On the
contrary the impressions received
were such they naturally ask why
aren't applicants for license to drive
automobiles examined more carefully
here in Maine.
Now this is pertinent question,
but is little belated for receiving
immediate attention. The Legisla-
ture should have been asked to
change the law SO to require that
this should be done and provide
means for doing it.
Massachusetts requires the appf-
cant for the first license to pay five
dollars. Three dollars of this are set
aside to pay for the cost of sub
hitting he applicant to a thorough
examination. Even so, all who get
by are by no means worthy, it would
seem from the reports. but it is an
effort toward improvement, an eff
fort Maine should make. The apID-
cant for renewal doesn't have to pay
Tor foll~wing examination if his
record be good, but receives il for
Two dollars. This is matter that the
last Legislature might well have pro-
vided for but seems to have over
looked it,
