Federation of Agricultural Associa-

At this time. the name. Rutillus
Alden, inscribed in bronze will be
placed side by side with the names
of others who have done the most
for agriculture in the State of Maine.
Mr. Alden was born in Turner, July
20, 1870, and lived in Winthrop most
of his life. He was prominent
member of the Winthrop Grange and
4 member of the Pomona and State
Oranges. For four years he served
as selectman and for several years
as a Trustee Of the Kennebec Agri-
cultural Society.
In 1863 he went to Massachusetts,
and Connecticut to investigate the
possibility of establishing creameries
in Maine and 1t was largely through
his influence that the first two
creameries were built in this state,
one at Winthrop and one at
Sabattus.
He ably served his state and it,

per patent, he was Immediately sub.

IheSe members wanted to know
where lay the cause of discrepancy

out that the Lewiston hospital en-
ploys an expert pathologist at a high
salary but which does not enter into

clpal query remained unanswered. Dur.

opinion that high salaried specialists

EXPENSE.
DR.. Mitchell of Houlton stepped into
the breech in an endeavor to explain
the situation, but beyond giving fig
ures 10 show that the Madigan Hospi-
ia, Of Houlton operates at lower food
costs per day than the larger hospitals
in Bangor, Portland and Lewiston, he
was unable to give the reason for the
discrepancy between costs of running
| DR.. Miners hospital or the Madigan
Memorial Hospital and the larger hos
pitfalls.
He ventured the belief that any of
the Catholic hospitals can be run
cheaper and are far better managed
| than any the general hospitals of the
State. He also felt that the Bangor
Eastern Maine Hospital was the best
! managed large hospital in the State
Quoting figures offhand he showed
that the Madigan hospital pays So
cents per day for food, the Eastern
| Maine General at Bangor Sill, Central
Maine at Lewiston $1.24, and Western
Maine at Portland $1.37. He could
not see why the cities should not buy
| food more cheaply than Houlton since
! they could obtain wholesale prices. He
! thought 1t must be due to poor man
agement.

The Opposition

Charles S. Hichborn of Augusta,
a member of the State board OF pris-
on commissioners, said he had been
asked to conduct the opposition to
the bill, and was very glad to do 80
| and to add the weight of his own
personal opinion and judgement and
experience for what they were worth.
Mr.. Hichborn preferred to substi-
tute for the Mosaic law the teachings
of Jesus Christ, and expressed the
opinion that the fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man were
not intended merely for use in pull
pit oratory, but for everyday use.
Has society nothing better to do
with its erring son than to take him
out and kill him in cold blood?"
asked Mr.. Hichborn, adding that So
ciety had best wipe it's own specta-
cleS and clean up its own back yard
before asking for capital punish
ment for it's own protection.
He declared that nobody knows
how many are kept from commit
ting murder by fear of capital pun
ishment, nor how many do murder
do not agree and that there are
none which are comparable and
trustworthy.
Il cannot find penologist nor a
warden in this country who favors
it," said Mr.. Hichborn, saying that
he had written to all of them. He
read to the committee a long letter
from Warden Lewis Laws of Sing
Sing, in which Mr.. Laws expressed
the hope that Maine would not take
the backward step Of reverting to
the death penalty. He said that it
has long since been established that
MI u1 1tcI, Nnt opf
deterrent to crime and that he could
not imagine any other reason for de-
string to adopt it.
Professor Mccormick of bowdoin
Prof. Austin II. Mccormick of Bow
dom college told the committee that
in all his experience in the study of
crime and in talking with prison Of
ficials, he can find no one who wants
to re-establish capital punishment.
He said the question is not one OF
increased severity OF punishment, and
quoted the conclusions of the Ameri-
can Bar Association that what is
needed is to catch more criminals and
to convict more.
President Of w. c. T. U.
Mrs. Althea G. Quimby, president
of the w. C. T. u, stated that the
old order Of the spirit Of retaliation
had given away and increased sever
ity in penalty for crime should be
superseded by more attention to law
observance.
