ON WHAT GROUNDS?

Regarding the payment Of prison
ers for work in the State prison at
Thonaston the State auditor. we un-
derstand. has acted in what he has
believed to be accordance with the
requirements comprised in the Re-
vised Statutet.
Sec. 81. Revised Statutes. provides
"All fees. or other income which may
accrue to any institution, depart
ment. board or commission OF the
state. except educational institu-
tions, from whatever source accru-
ing. shall be paid by the official re-
ceiving the same. directly to the
treasurer OF State. ."
Sec. IS, provides: "All bills Of any
institution Of the State shall be paid
by the treasurer OF state, on war
rants approved by the Governor and
council. after proper vouchers there
for have been approved by the prop
er official Of the institution or de-
partment contracting the same and
audited by the state auditor. - :"
The Governor and Council have
passed an order instructing the
warden ito take monthly from the
receipts and income of the prison. a
sufficient amount to pay the prison
ers." etc. The Governor and Council
so assume the responsibility. 1t
does not appear on what grounds
they base their decision.

The News and Observer of Raleigh,
n. c., under date of Oct. % devotes
several columns to an interview and
reports of addresses made in that
State by Names Governor elect
Brewster. This information is re-
spectfully referred to the New York
World and some other Democratic
papers that have expressed solicitudc
respecting the whereabouts of Mr..
Brewster. In an interview he re-
marked that he was down there ito
show you southerners that you are
on the wrong track. So long as you
are methodically regular you cannot
expect to receive any consideration
from the Democrats Of the North
who control your party. The South
is becoming industrial and will need
protection. The tradition OF the
Democratic party from Jefferson to
Jackson is for protection and the
Republican party stands for that to-
day." Possibly if the Democratic
editors will read their exchanges
they may be relieved from their So
licitude as to the whereabouts Of Mr.
Brewster and may be able to profit
from what he Is saying.

BE FAIR AND AVOID CONFUSION

II may contribute to the public's
sense Of relief that the Executive
Council. passing an order permitting
Governor Baxter to erect In the State
Park a memorial to his faithful dog,
Garry. and expressing the hope
that the Park may never be used for
purposes of geological museum,
imposed no restrictions on making it
a geological memorial.
To have done so manifestly would
have been unfair to Governor Bax-
ter's successors, some of whom may
have a pet cat. a blithesome canary
or q confiding pollywog. which by
demonstrations Of affection and con-
flding trust may ease many wrinkle
from the executive brow. Should
their gratitude--we refer to tho Gov
ernors-be denied expression in
bronze at the State Park?
Think for a moment what the pur-
ring Of a cat against the executive
trouser might reveal to the con-
seriousness OF a Governor beset, as
most In official position are beset, by
those who hang ION princes favors" ;:
think Of that into which he might
fall did not the purring OF the feline
suggest that n purpose usually goes
with a purr!
Sir Thomas Browne once on a time
remarked: Man is a noble animal,
splendid in ashes and pompous in the
grave" Nevertheless we timidly
suggest to the Honorable Governor
and Council-also to the Park Com
mission-the possible propriety in
keeping the tomb OF one OF Names
early Governors at the Park apart
from the geological musum memorial
and 50 avoid confusion.
1t also might lessen chances Of
confusion and Of invidious distinc-
ton IL the tablets were generic rath-
err than specific. we've erected. for
instance. to commemorate faithful
dogs, cats, canaries, ct cetera. in
general. leaving the individual tri-
butes for the more intimate vicinage
of the family burial lot

CAMPAIGN FUNDS

Getting out a ma jority vote In
hundred .and-ten million country. or
placing before every voter no more
than.the reasons why he should sup
. port .any particular ticket. Is not a
task. which may be done without
large expenditures. Other things
being equal. there Is pretty sure to
be advantage in the best managed
and most extensive advertising cam
paisn.
The managers. who fail to secure
the funds they need and are so UNI
able to make much Roadway, often
resort to charges against the man
ager who seems to be getting ahead
Of them. Usually the shout Of "slush
fund" comes from the fellow behind.
This campaign II comes from La Fol-
lette. Four years ago 1t came from
Cox.
Now. not all the money in the
country is in the possession Of the
Republicans. Probably no better or
ganixation exists for collecting funds
than the labor organizations. though
the sources from (which they draw
are not rich. Here Is possible an
agency for raising big funds from
small individual subscriptions. for
campaigning outside the restrictions
under which a political committee
would work. There Is little doubt
but this agency is being exploited to
the limit. There is wealth. too.
among Democrats. Surely not all the
wealth Of industrialism or Of any
other ism IL susceptible to the appeal
OF Republican political managers.
But constructive capital wherever It
is fotnd y concerned for conditions
undtk which there Is promise Of pros
peroue conditions for the country.

I People who have been disturbed

BEWARE CRIMINAL
CARELESSNESS

Forest fires are licking the gran
lite lodges of New Hampshire bare
in many places. Maine woodlands
lie crisp and cracking underfoot
waiting for. the Grant match or
tipped aside cigarette.
I The fire menace in our woodlands
Is very real one. 1t means abso-
lutte waste of very valuable property;
is destructive Of soil and prevents
for years the growth Of trees to re-
place the burned. 1t Is a waste that
is, all things considered, tremen-
dous menace. Not all those ac-
quainted with forest conditions In
Maine believe that our forests are
indestructible or that the woodlands
are not rapidly being depleted. Some
say that while our Maine forest in
proportion to area is in much better
condition than are those of Canada
nevertheless, it is rapidly being les
sened. This is disputed by some
but we have yot to see proof to the
contrary.
Anyhow. while the demands Of the
consumer of wood products increase
fire year by year takes it's toll, which
cannot be replaced in this generation
at least. Suitable care and precau-
ton may diminish this wastage. Any
neglect in this respect is little short
Of criminal. Every sportsman found
in the woods where fire breaks ou,
might be drafted into the service OF
fire fighting without injustice. If the
sportsmen realized the likelihood OF
such procedure some Of them would
exercise greater care.
