BE UP AND DOING

It's gratifying to note tangible
evidence that American gumption is
asserting itself. The insolence Of the
thug is getting unbearable. The
idea that he is to terrorize the pub
lie is getting on the nerves. Out in
Chicago armed police are patrolling
the city and a part of their instruc-
lions reads as follows: Criminals
walk out Of the jails. they return
from the penitentiary without even
registering. and the courts turn them
loose. But they do not come back
from the morgue." Once 1t was said
the only good Indian was dead
one. 1t was cruel dictum, even In
time Of war. That IL being para
phrased in Chicago: the only good
gunman Is q dead one. Sawed off
shotguns are distributed to the police
along with the orders and there is
possibility that someone. other
than peaceable citizens. will be hurt.
Such drastic efforts bring injustice
in their train. They would not now
be needed had law-abiding citizens
not been 50 lax In their demands.
The negligence that has character
lied the public's attention to criminal
matters has largely been SO gross as
to be criminal negligence. And now
the gunman has declared war on
society. SO war and the horrors Of
war come chiefly because Of negli-
gence. yet that war must be brought
to q conclusion; though intelligent
attention to causes must persist.
In this war OF the lawless on
society 1t is further gratifying to
learn that all Is not being left to the
police armed with sawed-off shot
guns. Last Sunday evening in the
town Of WELLESLEY, Mass, HOO men

BY ALL MEANS INVESTIGATE

The Governor and Council may do
no less than investigate conditions at
the Maine state prison in the light
OF the charges made in aff1davits
signed and sworn to by those who
appear to have had opportunity TO
know somewhat respecting the af-
fairs inside the prison. Likewise 1t
is equally obvious that the investiga-
ton should be thorough, public, ana
its findings should receive prompt
attention.
If drugs and liquor are being freely
Struggled in; If prisoners go out and
come In at will, then is the prison no
fit place to send criminal; then Is 1t
time to bring the responsibility home
to those who are supposed to know
OF such conditions, II they exist.
All this is perfectly evident. There
doubtless are features not so evident,
that should be taken into considera-
ton. BY this we do not refer to the
statements which are yet to come
from those in authority, on whom
the charges reflect. We have in mind
the opinion that no penal institution
anywhere at any time. If subjected to
a thorough investigation. would be
found flawless.
The uncanny skill shown by those
in prisons In disobeying regulations
is matter Of record. 1t might al
most be said that man has never
been able to build dungeon that
would seal a prisoner from the world,
certainly not IL he be permitted to
retain his health and reason. and it
were better to take away life than to
consien it to rot in living death. This
generation IL not hanging people for
stealing sheep; neither should 1t sub
ject them to conditions inviting
sbuse. The public assumes to en-
force proper management Of a prison.
There has been first and last plenty
Of evidence that this is not always
done. Unit custodians sometimes
get control and exercise it scandal
ously. Recognition Of this fact, we
understand, has been in the minds Of
those responsible for some Of the
changes in methods Of discipline now
called in question. but 1t is very i'm
portant to know If the effort has been
a failure; very important to know
why. il half of that which has been
sworn to is true, those assuming re-
sponsibility for management have
not taken steps to punish and pre-
vent. They may be expected to tell
MS more about that. 1t is now up to
me public to insist on the truth of
that which has been going on in a
public institution, whatever may
have been the animus inducing the
Exposure. The merit of fact should
not lose its significance, even if it
come from source evidently not
pisinterested. No matter what the
purpose back Of the exposure the
Light should be turned on that which
the exposure may reveal.
There Is about some Of the charges
indication Of prejudice rather than
principle. II the public would prop
erly serve itself 1t will come to the
consideration Of this matter in a
spirit as free from prejudice as may
be possible TO the faliibls human
mind. It isn't question Of pros ,r
fntis; it II question Of the inteeri.

Belfast Burnham
Branch To, Continue
Under New Management

After six months of uncertainty as
to whether or not Belfast would be
isolated when the Maine Central
railroad which has for 55 years oper-
ated the Belfast Durham branch,
gives up its management when Its
lease expires at midnight on Jan. J.
1926, the announcement from Mayor
Orlando f. Frost, this morning that
the owners will operate under their
own management comes as great
relief. for the Waldo County towns
along the line depend largely upon
this road for passenger and freight
service.
sThe Belfast e Moosehead Lake
Railroad was built SIS years ago and
financed by the city of Belfast, a
few private citizens and about $780,
600 of common stock is owned by the
town of Brooks. The Maine Central
leased it for so years and at the end
of that time renewed it's lease for 3
years with the condition that it could
at the end of that time terminate It's
lease on six months notice. This no.
tice was given on July ! and since
that time citizens of Waldo County
have been much concerned. many
rumors have been in circulation ana
much speculation as to what would
become of the road.
