Sheriff Hid In Grass
Gets Advance Information
For Belfast Seizure
Especial to Kennebec Journal)

| Especial to Kennebec Journal)
Belfast, Me-, July when Sheriff
| Littlefield, the man who is trying to
make Waldo County like unto the
desert of Sahara lay down in the
| grass near the home of Raymond
Roberts in South Brooks Monday
| night, his one idea vas to get a line
| on what was going on within, for he
had his suspicious. He didn't expect
to hear his name spoken quite as
freely as he did, and he proved the
old adage, "Eavesdroppers never hear
good Of themselves"
AS he lay in the stiffness awaiting
developments. four men came along.
deep in conversation. The Sheriff
heard his name spoken and pricked
up his ears. He heard them say what
they thought of him and what they
would like to do with him If they
could. The Sheriff chuckled as he
thought of what he intended to do.
AS the men entered the house, the
Waldo County sleuth crept from his
hiding place and stealthily followed
them in. There he saw Roberts get
out something of liquid nature, ap-
parently good to drink, for two other
men were ready and did give him
good money for 1t. It was just at
that time, however, that the Sheriff
made known his presence, for he
reached in between them and took
the stuff himself. He confiscated in
all about five quarts, and with Rob-
erts returned to Belfast.
In the Belfast Municipal Court
Tuesday before Judge Carleton, Doak
Roberts was given a hearing.
Roberts had a familiar look when
he appeared before Judge Doak Tues
day morning, and the latter's mind
harked back to about a year ago
when this same offender was brought
before him, the first rum case to be
tried before the new official. At that
time he gave the man the minimum
Jail sentence of two months in Jail
and find him 800 and costs. Although
he appealed he later served his time
in the county Jail, but he was also
indicted by the September grand
Jury although the case was continued.
pending Roberts good behaviour.
Taking all this into consideration,
and as Roberts while pleading not
guilty offered no defense, Judge Doak
gave him the maximum jail sentence
of six months and fined him 5000 and
costs. with six months additional In
default of payment of fine and costs.
He appealed but unable to get the
$1,000 bail, was committed to jail at
noon.

CRIPPLED CHILDREN
To Be Benefited
BY FREE CLINICS

Hundreds of crippled children in
Maine will be received during the
next few months in a series of elm
les to be held under the auspices Of
the Maine Public Health Association
in various sections of the State. The
announcement was made here yes
terday following a joint meeting of
the executive committee of the
Maine Public Health Association and
the medical advisory committee
from the Maine Medical Association.
DR.. Ed G. Abbott of Portland was
named as cedical director of these
clinics for crippled children and he
will have associated with him as
clinicians some of the most noted
orthopedic surgeons in the State.
Public Health nurses employed by
local societies and committees af-
filiated with the Maine Public
Health Association as we'll as other
local public health nurses will &C
lively assist in the clinics by visit
ing the patients in advance of the
clinic and obtaining data on each
case which will save the time of the
busy doctors on clinic days.
Rotary clubs and other organiza-
tions throughout the State will also
actively assist the clinics by provid-
ing automobiles to bring the little
patients to and from the clinics and
oftentimes by providing braces and
other things which may be required
as the result of the expert examina-
lions provided at the clinics.
In each instance the arrangements
for local clinics will be worked out
in conference with committees or
representatives of the county medi-
cal society. Much assistance in the
preparatory work for the clinics was
obtained through the crippled chill
dren's census conducted by the
Maine State Department of Educa-
ton. A general advisory board has
been named including DR.. B. d.
Bryant. secretary of the Maine MeGi-
cal Association, DIR. c. +. Kendall,
State Commissioner of Health and
DR.. Augustus o. Thomas. Commits
sioner of Education. Women's
clubs, oranges, .parent-teacher asso-
Citations, and other civic organiza-
tons are invited to have a part in
this great State wide effort to give

MORE DEMOCRATS
Than TWO YEARS AGO
VOTED THEIR TICKET

Listening to some OF the converse
ton on the street one might easily
infer that nearly all the Democrats
voted either for harrington or for
Brewster. The returns to the Gov
enor and Council tell different
story. however.
AS a matter of fact 4430 more
Democratic votes for the Democratic
candidate were thrown in this pri-
mary than were thrown in the pri-
mary of 1922.
This year Pattangall received IA
439 votes, whereas in 1922 he re-
ceived but 10.o09. So some Of the
Democrats voted for q Democratic
candidate.
Again, those who are much con-
cerned over reported scarcity OF Re-
publican ballots for the use of this
primary may be interested to learn
that $4,000 Republican ballots were
sent out and approximately $4,000
were cast, leaving around $4,000 that
were wasted. There were less than
six towns in all the State that failed
to have sufficient ballots before clos
ing of the polls. Almost two ballots
were sent out for every one that was
used.
Those who believe the primary
law should be amended are met by
the inquiry, What use is there in
amending q law, the provisions of
which are now widely disregarded in
practice?"
A fact-it seems to be a reasonable
deduction from the evidence IL It IL
not a proven facts that the late
hour Of keeping the polls open con-
tributed to the confusion in properly
counting the ballots.
Another fact, which obtains under
normal conditions. which those of
the last election may hardly be call
ed, Is that a recount never changes
the result materially.
This lends interest to the claim
advanced by a prominent harrington
supporter on hearing the report of q
change of 81 votes to Farrington's
favor as a result of the inspection at
Rumford. This claim is to the eff
feet that II recount shall be had.
Harrington will gain over the re-
suit as officially announced by the
Governor and Council.
1t probably will be known by to-
night whether recount is to be call
ed for. The law provides that no
correction Of the returns can be
made without application within IA
days after the returns are opened
and tabulated and that application
for examination Of ballots by the
Governor and Council be made with
In III days after the returns are op-
ened and tabulated.

ROME. August 1s.-On the initia-
tive of a group of American news
paper correspondents, Premier Mus
solini yesterday authorized his chief
OF cabinet. Marquis Paulucci. to issue
statement outlining the Italian gov
ernment's views concerning emigra-
ton to the United States. This was
tho first time the government had
made any official expression on the
new policy of the United States with
regard to immigration.
The Italian government" says the
statement. does not claim the right
to discuss immigration laws, which
constitute an internal affair of the
state which adopts them, nor does it
pretend to give advice to the Ameri-
can people. who are the best judges
Of their own interests and unques-
tionably have the right to take all
measures they deem necessary for
national economy.
VIII Welcome study.
urally will be pleased at an initiative
which the American Government
might wish to make at an opportune
moment with the aim of studying or
discussing the best practical method
for reconciling the interests of the
two countries.
The immigration policy pursued by
the Italian government toward the
United States. as toward all other
countries, aims to avoid sending
abroad persons who do not corre-
spond to the economic and social
needs of the country of immigration.
It believes that sending such persons
harms the country which receives
them as we'll as that which sends
them. The former is damaged in it's
economy and the latter in it's credit.
Lots of Good Workers.
The Italian government is con-
vinced of the desirability of sending
g America good workers. technically
skilled and sociably peaceable. OF
such workers Italy has an abundance.

has an interest In realizing the maxi
mum benefit from the above policy,
and for this reason the state serv-
ices which deal with emigration are
broadly organized and vigorously ad-
ministered, precisely in order to ap-
ply the legal provisions of immfgra-
tion countries before an Italian
worker leaves his own shores.
"The cultural, professional, moral
and sanitary preparations of emit
grants permits Italy, through it's
state services, to proceed efficiently TO
the selection of emigrants in such
manner as to accord with the laws,
needs and desires of each immigra.
tion country. Shus, eE.igrants are e&-
amined and painstakingly selected in
order that they may be sure Of being
permitted to land in an immigration
country.
Italy Able to Select.
"If the United States Government
desires to modify its legislation in
order to make sure that foreign
workmen arriving at American ports
already have been carefully chosen
and selected, the Italian goverumenc
has the means, as 1t has the desire. to
conform to this criterion, always with
the understanding that the cnoice
and selection of Italian emlgrantS Will
be exercised by functionaries of tins
Italian state, without interfere nee
from foreign representatives"
This last sentence is UNDERSIGNED.
THE Republic of the United States"
the statement continues, cannot but
approve the wholesome principle that
an emigration policy is the concern
of emigration countries. just as an
immigration policy is the concern of
immigration countries, both in action
and in spirit of cordial and sincere
collaboration.
His excellency, the president Of

satisfaction that Mr.. Davis, Secre-

may be any learning, there must be

child. Any obstruction and there is
no learning. Yet many and many q
child arrives at school with his mind
set against the teacher
Why, I've told him that he must
do everything the teacher says. OF
course he wants to learn"
True. He wants to learn, but hs
can't. All those five years he STAYED
at home with his first and most DOW
erful teacher he was unconsciously
learning that grown folks have little
use for little folks; that many times
they don't care much for some grown
folks, and on the whole 1t is best tc
look out for people. Doubt is in his
mind and protest. He does not know
1t, but IL is there, because careless
people planted 1t there.
HE sits there the whole day
through, but he makes very little
progress" says the teacher IT don't
know why. He seems to be intelli-
gent, but nothing seems to reach him.
He does a little, but not at all what
he ought to do. He isn't with me,
that's all"
That's all. And in school if you
aren't with the teacher you might
better be somewhere else. Those first
five years are with you, pulling hard
on your unconscious mind.
1t is time we thought more about
this. Mothers will have to remember
that they are the real teachers and
that the term is a lifelong one be-
ginning with the first five years.
