BEWARE THE PRECEDENT
In disapproving the resolve to re
imburse a concern for a fire, said to
have been caused by a patient on pa
role from an insane hospital, Gover
nor Baxter stated that the resolve if
approved would establish a dangerous
precedent. While expressing the
opinion that there is neither legal
nor moral obligation upop the State
• he refers to the minority report of
the committee that considered the
claim. This would permit the parties
aggrieved to bring suit against the
State and Governor Baxter con
cludes: “should the Legislature have
any doubt as to the State's liability
the Court is the proper tribunal to
determine this question.”
The friends of the measure later
took steps to have this minority re
port accepted, and. if it is, the Gov
ernor, although he expressed the
opinion that the loss should remain
where it fell, will probably permit the
matter to go to “the proper tribunal."
The long discussion which was had
over this measure served to excite
sympathy for the concern that suf
tered the loss, nevertheless it must he
clear that the burden to which the
State would be exposed were it held
accountable for every future act of
every ward released from its care
would indeed be a formidable one. At
least It seems but fair that such
claims should receive the scrutiny of
the court. We think the public will
feel that the Governor did his duty
and should be commended for it.
MUCH SMOKE—THE FIRE?
If it is true as charged by Sheriff
Grant that the consignment of
liquors which was seized at Ashland,
yesterday, and conveyed to Houlton
jail today, was in charge of a fed
eral officer who was acting illegally
then matters have come to a very
strange stage.
Sheriff Grant’s deputies, acting
legally, were interfered with in their
attempt to seize the large quantity
of liquor by a man who simply dis
played a badge and asserted that the
car had already been seized by him
and that it was in his possesion. To
the deputies he gave one name and
to the' officials at Bangor, where he
telephoned he gave another.
Later this man was arrested and
released under bonds of two hundred
dollars, a trivial sum which any than
in his predicament, if guilty, would
be glad to pay.—Aroostook Daily
News.
This recalls the seizure in New
York a few days ago of a quarter
million dollars worth of wines and
liquors owned by a concern occupy
ing four floors of a building on one
of the principal streets and equipped
throughout for big business, having
two wine vats, each capable of hold
ing 1000 gallons.
It would appear that this was the
first the revenue agents knew of the
place. One would suppose that if
their eyesight were poor their sense
of smell would have located it.
The moving picture question and
answer column of the Boston Herald
says: “H. K., Hingham—Mona Lisa
is not married. Address her care
Weber Production, 6411 Hollywood
Boulevard, Hollywood, Cal." And so
it’s come to this. After all these
years, that "come hither” look in
Mona’s eyes has made a capture.
Local authorities look out for the
"Divorce Miller” Miller—the man
who made divorces as per order in
New York City. They say he is miss
ing and the mill is Bllent. At the
rate that divorces are turned out in
other localities, other than New
York, maybe there are other "mills.”
This country should do one of two
things, either repeal the law for
sending stowaways back to the coun
try they came from or enforce it. If
the latter, then the lord mayor of
Cork, who has been in this country
for three months in defiance of law,
should be sent home.
They speak of Sarah Bernhardt’s
purpose to fly to England as some
thing remarkable. Considering that
she is seventy-six years old and has
a cork leg, her playing the role of a
love-sick youth of 26 seems rather
more remarkable.
Russians are swapping horses for
matches and salt. When they get to
swapping bolshevism for soap and a
shave it will be possible to make the
Russian rouble of something better
than paper.
Now for “eat an onion week." The
following week could be devoted to
the Interests of the makers of per
fumes.
They do say business Is “picking
up." Sort of a spring tonic for that
spring feeling!
A DUBIOUS ACQUISITION
There has been of late more than
the usual talk about Republican pos
sibilities in the South. The younger
generation is supposed to be less
prejudiced than was the older and
its men of affairs must recognize
the superior effectiveness of the Re
publican administrations, the great
er confidence which the country man
ifests toward them, and approve the
application of Republican theories to
the tariff. There'Jj plenty of reason
why the South should Bupport the
Republican party, but there are reas- ,
ons why such support would tend to
weaken that party.
A public which tolerates peonage,
a horrible revelation of which has re- ,
cently occurred in Georgia, a public
satisfied to retain representation in
congress based on the colored vote
and tolerate conditions which deprive
the colored people of the vote, in
other words a public contented with
slavery is not one whose enthusiastic
support of the Republican party
would be a cause of genuine enthu
siasm in the ranks of the Republican
party at its best.
The revenue from the British coal
mines not being sufficient to pay the
wages demanded by the miners they
are striking to compel the govern
ment to* make good the deficit. The
same spirit and lack of economic
reasoning was shown by American
miners in some districts, who, be
cause there were more of them than
were needed for year round work
wished the government or some other
fairy to pay them for eight months’
work what they would earn if they
worked twelve months. They ought to
move over to Russia, where they
would he drafted into the army and
set to work—or shot if they refused
to work.
They hope to convert a criminal
into a law abiding citizen by remov- j
ing a bullet from his brain. Now if it
were bristles from t .e oack instead of
bullets from the brain the operation
Wouldn't be successful.
Having released those who at
tempted to kidnap Bergdoll Germany
may eventually get around to sur- i
rendering Bergdoll himself. Who
ever would have thought of him as an !
international disturbance?
American Legion posts are being
furnished with a copy of eacli local

those lists of slackers will “come in j

If, as is stated, Ireland spent two

Spring Pever
Spring time in the country,
Spring time in the air.
Blue sky up above us,
Dream time everywhere.
Blue birds winging over,
Wild geese back at last.
All the spring signs tell us
Winter time is past.
Spring time's just the time for dream
ing.
Not tne time for work or play,
All my tasks lie there unheeded
While i si^ and dream away.
Then 1 wake up from my dreaming,
All my day dreams put to rout,
For ma s gone to the cupboard.
And gotten her spring tonic out!

Here and there and everywhere we
see victims of the irresistible •'home
brew.” One came to the front the
other night in Saco, when a slim young
man was arrested by the police on
the charge of drunkenness. He had
come to town to visit friends, became
acquainted with a man who made home
brew and in sampling the beverage
evidently took an overdose. The po
licerhan who took him into the station
asked of him, “What's your name?"
The man tumbled in his pocket, pro
ducing after numerous endeavors a
small syrap of paper. Handing it to
the officer he muttered, '‘You'll lind it
written there, my friend.” The officer
saw a name and holding it up to the
light read "home-brew.” "You’re
rightly named my man,” remarked
Sir Officer, when he discovered a re
ceipt for making “hootch’’ on the re
verse side of the paper.
The Grafftes are about the whole
show in Dennistown. At the annual

was chosen to be first assessor; I. I.
Graffte, third assessor; A. A. Graffte,
clerk; A. A. Graffte, treasurer; A. A.
Graffte, collector; A. A. Graffte, school,
committee. On reviewing the situa
tion it would seem that there's a lot of
Graffte in Dennistown.
Four deer grazed for an hour in a

Years ago there was great competi
tion in the Boston-Kennebec steam
boat service when two lines were
operating on the river. People were
carried to Boston for 50 cents and
supper was furnished them on board,
so keen was the competition. The
price was so low that a number of
boys from an up river landing near
Bath, who had, never been in Boston,
decided to make the trip, so they paid
their fares, of half a dollar each and
sailed for the Hub. Upon reaching
that city it looked so big to them that
the youngsters got worried and fear
ing that if they started out to explore
the city they might get lost, they did
not leave the dock for all day and
boarded the steamer at night to re
turn to their homes. One of their
number, who has since traveled In all
parts of the world, loves to tell this
story of his boyhood expedition to
Boston.

OLD BOY VERY SICK
Was Thin, No Appetite, Had Swollen Lips, Stomach Pains, Itching Nose
A hardy woodsman and enthusias
tic fisherman, Joseph K. Lane, of
Lincoln, Maine, has a very interest
ing record to report. He writes.
“As a boy, thirty-seven years ago, I
began to take Dr. True's Elixir. Once
after six months hauling logs, I came
oiit of the woods and found rpy two
year-old boy very sick. He was
thin, iiad no appetite, had swollen
lips, pains in stomach, an itching
nose, was suffering from constipa
tion, for months.
"I had not been in the house an
hour when an elderly lady—a good
neighbor—came in and told my wife
to get a bottle of Dr. True’s Elixir,
saying she had seen numbers of simi
lar cases which it had relieved.
“My boy was given a half dozen
doses of Elixir when he passed a lot
of little worms, and right away began
to show improvement; he began soon
to eat with a relish, play around and
look healthy. He did not have to take
a full bottle, and in later years,
whenever he got off his feed, a few
doses would . straighten him out
quick.
“When I get constif>ated, a couple
of teaspoons of Dr. True’s Elixir fix
me O. K. ,
“My son is grown up now and has
a family of six children, and he has
practically raised his family on Dr.
True’s Elixir. The children go out
and get hold of something not good
for them. It's hard to watch all the
children, and so when they eat some
thing they shouldn’t and get sick, the
Elixir is given and the family is put
in good shape again.
, “I have read in the papers you
have to take a half dozen bottles of
some remedies, but you don’t have to.
(do this with Dr. True’s Elixir. Sim

The three generations of Lanes have
I been kept healthy by using it.”

Nearly every' grown up and every
child needs a Laxative. The fond

Neal D. Stanley was In Bangor
Wednesday to accompany home Mrs.
Stanley, who has been convalescing
| in a hospital in that city, after a
surgical operation.
An alarm was pulled in from box
37 near the McGilvery Cummings
; Cos’ mill on Hunnewell avenue at
about 8:30 Wednesday evening, by
some one who had a queer sense
of what constitutes a good practical
joke. The department responded
promptly. This ringing in false fire
alarms is a serious proposition, from
a business standpoint anyway, as it
costs the village corporation prob
ably not less than $25 every time
someone feels inclined to indulge in
that sort of pastime.
The Universalist Indies A\d So
ciety met in the church parlors
Thursday afternoon. The hostesses
were Mrs. Agnes Berry, Mrs. Jennie
Hunter, Mrs. Jessie Whittier and
Mrs. Abbie Buxton.
The New Era Auxiliary of the
Free Baptist church met at the
home of Mrs. Asa Craig, corner
Lancey and Nichols streets, Thurs
day afternoon. The attendance at
the meeting was good and a very
pleasant afternoon is reported.
B. E. Milton and little daughter
were in Bangor recently where the
young lady had her adenoids re
moved at one of the hospitals in
that city.

“BOW MY POOR
BACK DOES ACHE!”
Many a woman keeps Sloan's handy
for this, but it’s great for other
pains, too.
That dragging, wearying back
* ache, that so many women regu
larly suffer from, is quickly eased
by a little Sloan’s Liniment.
But it is good for all the family.
Apply it, without rubbing, for all
kinds of aches and pains, from the i
sharp neuralgic twlftge to the dull,
tearing ache of rheumatism.
Then there’s sciatica, lumbago, sore !
muscles, stiff joints. Keep a bottle
handy, for you never*U know when
you trill need it.
Largest size is most economical. At
all druggists—35c, 70c, *1.40.—Adv.
