WILL HAVE TO REFUND FEES
Will County Officials Who Have Co
lected More Than 5000 as An
nual Compensation
Frankfort Ky State Inspector and
Examiner Thatcher turned into the
stato treasury 2500 received from
Sheriff Davison of Kenton county
which amount represents what Davl
son has received over and above C000
as his annual compensation during tho
years 1906 to 1908 Inclusive Section
236 of tho constitution provides that
no public officer except tho governor
shall rccclvo more than 5000 annual
compensation Section 4108 of the
statutes fixes the compensation of
sheriffs at not exceeding this amount
Although the General Assembly has
never provided for the specific enforce
ment of the statute the governor con
tends that tho law is selfenforcing
And following an examination of tho
Kenton county sheriffs office he de
termined that Davison owed tho state
Eomo 3500 if the law was enforced
Davlson took tho position however
that some of tho excess was used for
office expenses and deputy services
and tho settlement of 2500 to the
state was a compromise agreed upon
by tho governor attorney general and
auditor According to Thatcher coun
ty officials throughout the state who
have collected In fees more than 5000
as their annual compensation will have
to refund to the state or defend legal
action for its collection and It Is ex
pected that a thorough Investigation
and cleanup of county offices will
result with thousands of dollars con
e ted to the state treasury

WHISKY IS SCARCE IN MAINE
Officer of Maryland AntiSaloon
League Finds Little Drunken
ness In Pine Tree State
Mr W11 Anderson superintendent
of the Maryland State Anti Saloon
luague has returned to Baltimore aft
er a visit of three Weeks to different
points in Maine During his stay In
that state ho made a close study to
ascertain It the law against tho solo
of liquor Is enforced His conclusion
is that despite statements to the con
trary the law is enforced and that
whisky is n very scarce article
I went to Maine said Mr Ander
son to obtain a rest and to ascertain
for my own Information If tho liquor
law Is enforced My headquarters
were at Owls Head a resort on tho
coast where it was impossible to ob
tain an Intoxicating drink I visited
Portland which is the largest city in
the state Rockland a city of 10000
population and Camden nnother city
of considerable size I was told in
Portland that If I really wanted n
drink I could find one but I would
have to go up back alleys through
filth and amid the slums to obtain It
This certainly does not agree with the
statements that liquor can easily bo
obtained in Maine During mj whole
stay in the state I saw only two
drunken men Each had a bottle in
his hip pocket One of tho men was
in the custody of the police
There is a bottle trade In the state
the whisky being shipped from Dos
ton Congress passed ft law which will
be effective on January 1 by which
there will be no C O D sales of whis
ky brought from another state The
law will also require that all packages
containing Intoxicants shall have la
bels designating their contents in
eluding their quantltly and quality
Maine prohibitionists believe that this
law will considerably reduce tho bot
tie trade
tradeWhat
What impressed mo mtBt how
ever was the absence of drlrklng by
young men A new generation has
coma on the scene since the saloon
was abolished in the state This
means a removal of temptation to
drink Hence the absence of Intem
perance among young men I was told
that the amount of liquor sold In Port
land would not equal by a largo mar
gin tho amount of liquor that would
be sold over the bar of one open sa
loon In the city
There has been complaint Oi the
violation of the antiliquor laws in
Bangor This violation was mostly
by lumbermen who imported their
supplies of liquor I saw by tho news
papers that state deputies had been
sent to tile city and that several ar <
rests had been made
I visited the state penitentiary near
Rockland It Is not much larger than
one of our county jails Its convicts
numbered about 200 I was told that
this Is above tho average of 175 be
cause of recent arrests for violation
of the liquor laws As you nro prob
ably aware tho savings bank accounts
In Maine exceed per capita those of
any other state
By the wny did the fact ever strike
you that Maine although n small state
has for half a century exerted more In
fluence In the national congress than
any other state In tho union It has
been represented In the senate by
Fessenden and by Frye and Hale
who are reelected just as soon as
their terms expire In tho house there
have been such leading men as Blaine
Reed Dingley and Llttlefleld There
Is no liquor question to dlturb poll
tics In Maine It does not shelve a
man In that state capable members of
tho house are promoted to the senate
nnd then to the national congress I
was told that any effort to repeal the
liquor law would meet with disastrous
failureWhile
While In Portland I called upon
Mr G W Norton editor of the Ex
press one of tho leading dally news
papers in the state He assured mo
that the law Is observed and the abo
lition of tho saloon has been a die
tinct success
I also had an Interview with Mr
J R Libby the largest merchant In
Maine He owns a department store
In Portland He corroborated all Mr
Norton said about the enforcement of
the liquor laws
I am thoroughly convinced nfter
my Investigation in Maine that state
ments that tho laws are not enforced
are misleading In fact I am con
vinced that whisky Is a very scarce
article there and is hard to obtain
Why the proprietors of the fending
hotels at Poland Springs one of the
most popular resorts In the state will
not tolerate liquor on their premises
and contribute liberally to tho tem
perance cause
Mental Disease Due to Drink
Dr Th Zlehen professor In the
University of Berlin and director of
the clinic for mental and nervous dls
disieases
eases is a most conservative writer
on the alcohol question and has not
even so far committed himself as to
advocate total abstinence yet In a
pamphlet on The Influence of Alco
hol pn the Nervous System he
writes I believe I can show that
drink Is wholly or largely responsible
either directly or indirectly or
through Its inherited effects for
every fifth case of mental disease In
