Since the Governor and his council will have to determine the result or the prohibition election In Maine, the unofficial figures leaving the exact re sult in doubt, one is apt to get the im pression that popular opinion in that state Is equally divided on the wis dom of selling spirituous and malt liquors. At this distance, however, it has not seemed clear to us how the line of cleavage could be quite so distinct, although the press dispatch es have almost invariably placed the drys on one side and the wets on the other. It must be borne in mind that liquor has been sold in, the larger towns in Maine for years, this being done through a system peculiarly Maine's own. Whiskey and beer have been dispensed right along in many places, without reference to the con stitutional Inhibition and prohibition, through blind tigers of varying de grees of blindness, this blindness being determined by the extent of the pro hibition sentiment in the various com munities. It has always been asserted that the owners of these tigers, as a . cold-blooded business proposition, were even more anxious than the prohi bitionists to prevent a return to the high licensed saloon, and this element, It has been amimed, would always vote against the resubmission of the constitutional amendment. Looking at the matter in this way, the moral of the recent election, or the immoral significance of that event, is plain. However this very close election may ultimately be determined by the higher officers of the state, it is ap parent that a majority of the voters of Maine, less the blind tigers (if as alleged the prefer the status quo), after trying state-wide pro hibition for a period covering a great many years, are now in favor of giv ing the liquor traffic the sanction of the State. If It shall be determined that they have lost, residents of the larger incorporated towns will find themselves In a rather bad way. A decided majority of the voters of these larger towns favoring a legaliz ed liquor traffic, it is likely that even a less effort will be made to enforce the prohibition laws in the future, with the result that tigers will multi ply. It Is a condition of affairs that leads one to the conclusion that Maine ought to do one of two things: The State ought either to vote wet good and strong ,lf the people want whis key, and license the saloons to sell it, or the people ought to record them selves in favor of prohibition and then enforce the laws. It is an an omalous situation that has obtained In Maine for many years, a situation that has contributed little toward the moral uplift of the people on the one hand, nor has there been disclosed anything like a wholesome respect for the law, on the other. The Maine election appears to have been Just as warm as is the wont of uch campaigns." On the day preced ing the election the New York Bun published a dispatch which sent forth the facts: While former Governor Hanly was making his Lewleton address to sev eral thousand persons who had gath ered in park this afternoon a crowd ofwet sympathisers charged his au dience waving placards and banners marked "Vote yes" and catcalling and Jeering so that it was impossible for the speaker to be heard.. Some of the more belligerent drys Ditched Into the disturbers and a squad of police was called on the double aulck to prevent riot. Several arrests war made. The parade of the Young Cam paigners, an organization of school children ranging from 1 to 15 years, brought a climax fo this branch of the campaign, -whi has been managed 1V Miss Anna A. Gordon, vlue-presl-! ! t of the Woman's Chrlstnvt Tern- ! I vUm. The streets of Port- 1 i wt lined Wth p..n,l to watch t - J : - Al.-Mt 2'f'i!) covered with such : Inscriptions as "Vote No" and "A no vote Is a vote for us," "Which do you want, beer or boys?" The prohibitionists in this city are considerably encouraged by the tre mendous reception given to Congress man Hobson. The Jeff rson theater, where the rally was advertised, was soon filled to overflowing and an ad jacent Baptist church was utilized for an overflow meeting. Mrs. I M. M. Stevens, national president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, presided. At a rally last night at Waterville George F. Cottprlll. a State Senator from Seattle, Washi, speaking for the retention of the amendment, was in terrupted by a mob of wet sympathiz ers and the meeting was broken up. One feels certain that such pro ceedings were altogether Irregular in untropionl Maine, where the average citizen Is popularly supposed to be nothing is not decorous. In the fore going narrative, however, the reader will find little that is pleasing, save the fact that our own Hubert Hroml nax Ulenn escaped the rioters. TIIK HKNDEltSONVIM.K CASK The coroner and his Jury at Header- sonville knew how the young girl, Myrtle Hawkins, came by her death, but officially they said they did not know, with the result that the press of a number of cities have made a profound and sensational mystery out of the case where none existed. The character of the rime has been known from the beginning by those in po sition officially to be advised; it is only the perpetrators of the crime who are at present unknown. In rendering their official verdict in conflict with their officially, if pri vately, acquired information, the cor oner and Jury were influenced by the hope that the persons who committed the crime would be thrown off their guard, that there would be imparted to them a feeling of fancied security. While the motive for rendering n ver dict not warranted by the facts may be regarded by some as commendable, we believe the officers set a precedent which is not likely to command uni versal approval. The coroner and his jury have a certain very definite function to petform and it would be just as well, perhaps if these officers would discharge that obligation in the conventional way, and leave the rest to other officers and detectives. It Is most gratifying to the medical fraternity In Hendersonvllle and their professional brethren to learn, from the statement of Coroner Kirk, that no suspicion attaches to any Hender sonvllle physician In connection with the Hawkins case. Among the many statements supposed to have leaked out from the coroner's jury was that i"a doctor" was under suspicion, and one story published in some of the pa purs said that it was "a young doc tor of Hendersonvllle." Now there are but three young physicians In the town, and their emotions, on rending this story, were decidedly unpleasant, to say the least. Perhaps we may be permitted, without disclosing too much of the unregenerate sld eof your nature, to lament the fact that we are not to have a good circus inconnectlon with our fair. A good circus or so every year must be numbered among the necessities. We have got too many laws, one of our inalienable rights is the pursuit of happiness, and human happiness cannot be complete without and occasional circus. President Taft had as well keep out of the enemy's country, since he can hardly convince those western people against their will. Those insurgents have made definite arrangements to insurge permanently. We judge from Senator Bailey's re marks that this time he will not re consider, unless the senatorial salary is boosted mightily In the next year or so. Stocks have decreased a billion dollars In value during the past four weeks. How much have you lost? There is considerable difference of opinion oa the subject In Maine. IS TRYING TO COLLECT . ON 0L0 WITNESS TICKET A man named E. P. O'Kelly from the Upper Hominy section, Is In town today trying to locate some money, which he claims the county owes him for serving as a witness In Superior court during one of the terms of 1807. K. 8. McCall was eolicltor at that time and was prosecuting a case against Turner Israel for carrying a concealed weapon. In which Mr. O'Kelly waa a witness. The latter states that he received his witness ticket but did not get his money, as he left almost immediately to Join the army. He remained In the army until two years ago when he re turned, and has since been living In the Homluy'gecUon. As a soldier' he served for some time during the Phil ippine insurrection and has seen some very hard and dangerous service. Mr. O'Kelly Is trying to find some record of the amount he claims is due him today, but has not yet been able ot locate It. The county auditor has no such record but It is possible that, there may be some record of the mat ter In the clerks' files and he seemed hopeful .of finding the record.

Attached to train No. 21 from Goldsboro to Ashevllle, yesterday af ternoon was an extra co!uh, and al though the coach when the train rolled into Greensboro was filled al most to overflowing with human fn-lirht as cheerful and happy as a pleasant home on a Christmas morn all within the car was as silent ns thu grave. There was not a sound, not a whisper. The Inmates of the coach were all deaf and dumb, bound for Morganton to enter or re-enter the In stitution which the state of North Carolina has provided there for its unfortunate children. The train remained here 20 minutes and during that time the children aboard amused themselves by "talk ing" to several about the station who knew the sign language. There were both girls and boys among the mutes and with rapidly moving fingers and facial expressions conveyed to those familiar with the language their joy on returning to school. They showed that t;iey were bright mentally, that they have been well trained, while every one of them presented a neat apparance. There were three or four girls among the little afflicted ones as pretty and as winsome as could be found perhaps In the state. I'utlillinlrrw I'ass Through. The pathfinders of the A. A.
