When asked Monday If he were
to be a candidate to succeed himself
as county attorney of Kennebec
county, the present incumbent,
Frank E. Southland of Augusta, said
that he was going to be a candidate
In the coming primaries.
County Attorney Southland had
some rather interesting observations
to make In regard to his office. An
investigation of the records shows
that during the year just past, that
the county attorneys office has han
died to q conclusion 169 cases. Of
! this total, there were three homi-
cldes, three arson cases, 20 for the
crime of larceny. two of robbery.
seven cases of assault and battery,
three of forgery, two for passing
worthless checks, 21 cases of driv-
ing under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquor and 80 for violation of the
| liquor law, with the remaining IS
for miscellaneous causes such as
non-support and so forth.
1t is very interesting to note that
of this total of 1859, only 10 were ac-
quilted. The figures further show
that of those convicted II were sent
to the State Prison at Thomaston,
~ served time in the county Jail I'M
der Sheriff Cummings. while one was
sent to the mems reformatory. For
ty-seven paid fines to the state or
county and IL cases were mol pressed
by County Attorney Southland. Of
these IL, four were disposed Of be-
cause the spotter employed by the
county vas not believed by the jury
and two cases We're mol pressed be-
cause another party on the GRIM
inal docket took the blame and was
punished. The other seven were mol.
pressed because of insufficient evil
dence.
There are several cases now pend
ing on the county attorneys docket
of rum runners and sellers who
have forfeited their bail and fled to
parts unknown and who have not
been apprehended by the officers,
County Attorney Southland has also
brought one injunction case against
an alleged violator of the prohibit
tory law and has had a permanent
injunction issued against the prem
Uses.
The figures at the county treasur-
er's office reveal the fact that up to
November the county had taken In
S1S,691 for the violation of the pro-
llAOllOly law ttIld d lew OtilcI ililuOI
offences although the great bulk of
this was so-called liquor money. This
Is larger sum than any other year
since 1920 barring 1923.
County Attorney Southland also
stated that sometime during the year
he expects to invite all the county
attorneys OF the state to Augusta
and have a session devoted to rec
concentrations and proposed changes
in criminal procedure. Mr.. Southland
feels that our probation system as
now conducted is not as efficient as
it should be and this through no
particular fault of the probation Off

GleasOn's Pictorial
AS 1t was in 1852

A Journal reporter found Judge
Bassett the other day in possession
of copy of Gleason's Pictorial pub
lished at Boston, March 6, 1852. He
had found this among the papers of
the late Chief Justice Cornish. This
edition included woodcut of our
State House, also one of big fire
in Portland, which destroyed the
American Hotel and stables and a
number of stores and dwellings, a big
fire it was thought, although Port
land was to suffer from much
greater one in 1866. OF the flremen
at this fire the Eastern Argus is
quoted as saying, every man was a
hero" That seemed sufficiently in
elusive and one would hesitate to
doubt it after considering the wood
cut of the scene. The firemen were
breaking down" hand engines, one
of which bore the familiar title
"Casco", with an energy to which
even the facile pen of the versatile
Argus could hardly do justice. In the
foreground high hated figure
astride a prancing steed appears to
be supervising what looks like in
adequate efforts to cope with the
sweeping flames. @
"A SllIlldf inquire on horseback
adorns the foreground of the artists
portrayal of the State House. the
cornerstone of which was laid in
1929, almost % years before. 1t was
completed in 1881. The drawing
shows no terrace of the grounds. no
fence about them, no gates or long
flight of stepsa If the drawing be ac-
curate it would seem to have been
made prior to 1888, as North's His
tory tells us that Ruel Williams COM
pleted the building and grading of
the grounds in 1882, that the in
habitants of Augusta, under bond,
We're compelled to contribute of the
funds to do this the sum of 81, 1866
rs. This bond had been obtained on
threat to return the seat of State
government to Portland. The article
accompanying the illustration states
that at that time. 1859. Augusta
contains a population Of about ten
thousand inhabitants. and is highly
prosperous in business matters"
This issue of Gleason's contains
serial story by Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.
"A Story of Old Virginia's Early
Days, of mildly melancholy hunt
err, who rescued beseeching maiden
from Indians by aiming one bullet
through the heads of two savages,
who had accommodatingly got In
line, and who simultaneously eX-
pired greatly to the relief of the fair
maiden. Verify, them was the
days."

1.-THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY STRANGE BUT
EXERCISING TALE OF P Asst and PRESENT
The master hand of DeMille is man.

The master hand of DeMilie is man
ifest all through the screen interpre-
tation Of the strange tale THE Road to
Yesterday" which opened three-day
billing at the Opera House Monday.
The perturbation Of the famous
stage success calls for roles that are
tragic and the director happily chose
gifted artists in this line. Joseph
Schildkraut as Kenneth. he with a
semi-paraiyZed arm, and Jetta Goudal
as Malena, are given ample opportuni-
tv to portray emotion.
Supporting this pair of screen TRACE
dams are Vera Reynolds as Bess and
William Boyd as Jack, with Rady in
a serio-comic part that serves to re-
lieve the tension at times.
The story Is part modern and part
medieval and deals with the loves of
Ken and Malena and Jack and Bess.
The story opens with the wedding of
Ken and Malena and for some unknown
reason Malena is in deadly fear of her
husband. Ken believes it is aversion
because of his crippled arm.
Ken talks with Jack, who is a min
lister. and is told to keep his faith in
God. Ken Is told by his doctor that
he must go at once to San Francisco
arm. At the same time Malena de-
cides to flee from Ken. They both
board the same train unknown to each
other.
Also on the train are Jack, Bess and
Rady, whom Bess has promised to
marry because she cannot marry
minister" Here comes the big scene
of the film. thrilling crash of trains
with attendant horrors
Then the scene shifts and "the
road to yesterday is depicted with the
principal characters in roles of long
ago but with an ever-recurring refer
ence to the present. There are many
interesting scenes of the long ago. in
Guiding ye old time tavern. castles.
meats. sword play and exemplification
Of ancient fortunes.
Here tragedy stalks rampant with
scarce a cheering scene. but tolerated
by the spectator in the knowledge that
it is Of yesterday and that the story
must again emerge into the present.
Happily it does and the tangled love
affairs are all satisfactorily adjusted.
1t is an amazing and most unusual pic
ture and one only a DeMille could
handle.

ground to cover. He feels that a
better plan can be evolved and one
that will work to better advantage,
both to the state and the probation
err. Mr.. Southland also stated that
the laws of Maine in regard to liquor
traffic should be altered so as to
eliminate some of the elements Of
proof in case of illegal possession.
1t Is now incumbent on the state
to prove an intent to sell. This is
sometimes hard to do even in the
case of a we'll known vendor Of the
forbidden beverage. Many states
have done away with that element
of the case, and make possession of
Intoxicating liquor the offense.
Various other changes were also
suggested by the county attorney
and he hopes that this conference
which he has proposed will bring
to the forefront suggestions that will
tend to make Maine a law abiding
state and one in, which it will be
hard for the criminal to prosper
and one where justice will be sure
and swift.
