MAINE AND THE LIQCOK QCES TION. A fvw dnvs R.nce, when It wis ar nount-cd through . Portlmul i' that a ilctisii.H) had liniiliy it-.'i ' i' u 111 Utvur ii f lliu "ilrvs" in Main- . H was (Imilillt'ss assiiiurri ty iin'fi l"" pie that this decision Tkonl.1 mI'Ii :i The contrary appears to in" 'h' ' Uovi.-rr.nr Plaisted has" calle.i a si'-.-clal sossion of the leKislntuie to refonn the election machinery and to pat the way, as the Governor puts it, for the people to regulate the sale of in toxicating liquors within the State. The governor believes that the cities which went on record nt the last election by overwhelmingly large ma jorities as favoring a change in the statewide law of prohibition should have another chance to express their right of franchise on the liquor ques tion. Public sentiment in the cities demand resubmission of the license question, says Governor Plaisted. We quote: "Maine is many years behind in, her control of the voting booths and methods which have been employed in many towns and cities have made our annual elections long a farce, Maine has been so long Republican and has for the most part cast its vote on election days so derisively nn miihh- tlons that the great majorities have. stayea punuc clamor for recounts. "Accepting the words of the vari ous city and town clerks under oath as to the outcome of the ballots cast at the last election, and particularly with regard to the pro vote on the prohibitory amendment, was all that remained for the Governor and his council as required by the present law. "Public sentiment regarding the liquor traffic In Maine has not chang ed, and so long as the authorities wink at the Illegal selling of liquor Just so far distant is the time when prohibition in thi State shall be come such In fact. As it is now the open barroom in both city and town 1 disgrace and a mockery to our ssalousness for the law. "The liquor question is today the liveliest Issue in this state and so it will continue until it Is settled as It ought to be. Maine is by many rea son destined to become the greatest State in the Union, but no healthy and permanent expansion can be made until this eternal liquor question Is settled. "It Is high time that Maine as a Bute removed herself from the ridic ulous position she now occupies in the eye of the nation on this half cen tury of merely professed prohibi tion. "An honest enforcement of the statewide prohibition amendment as It now stands 1 impossible when two out of three voters in our cities favor the thing that the law decrees a crime. Tou cannot expect local police offi cials to enforce a law under any such violent opposition on the part of two thirds of the votern who have placed them In Authority." A number of thoughts suggest themselves after a perusal of the foregoing. One i that It is singular how so many of our northern friends are prone to resort to Immoral de vlcr In holdim; tl'clr elfotlnnp even when moral lre are Imulved. An other thought Is that It ran ni longer be doubted that the peopla of Maine occupy an altogether anomalous posi tion with respect to the liquor question,' AX EYE FOR AX EYE. Governor Mann' eoncls and con vincing statement of reasons for hi refusal to step between Henry Clay Beattle, Jr., and the death to which ths court have condemned him," la a state paper which many sen timentalist could with profit peruse. Punishment, hold Governor Mann, hould be commensurate to the crime. Regarding Beattle the cruel and deliberate murderer of the woman he wa sworn to cherish and protect. Governor Mann falls to see how he can, with due regard for his oath a an executive. In sympathy for the criminal's ctrlcken relatives, save him from the law extremity. He sees even In granting a respite, possibility of causing temporizing with the law to the detriment of society. . But Gov ernor Mann put hi case batter than ws can for him: v ' 'i 1 symiHthlze very profound ly with the father of H. C. Beattle, jr., would be glad . to help hlra If 1 , could with proper regard for public ' Interests, I cannot with any consider-V atton for those Interests interfere with' the due execution of the court' sen- S, tence. , . . To grant a respite In so plain a case would be to set a prec- edeht to temporize with the law and encourage appeals to' the Supreme court with the sole purpose of gaining time. I believe the best way to pre vent such crime a this 1 to punish them adequately, certainly and speed ny. inereiore me juuguieni. ui m Circuit court of Chesterfield will b r,"' w,thout ln,er-er"i court, swin-acting and just, act- lng through a yeoman Jury and sus-t talned by a firm executive, have taught this nonchalent . wife slayer that society is yet able to protect It- , self taught him and many ' another. Beattie seemingly is unable to realize the enormity of his crime or to com- prehend the blacknes of hi future. . ., . . , ., . But the effect of this vindication of the law will be incalculable. It may even offset the maudlin and half- admiring wonder at the stoicism of ,"., ,, the "boy of iron nerve," at most evi- dence of the man's utter depravity. I " I A SIGN OP THE TIMES. The ardent mayor of Norfolk, James G. Riddick, has Just received a douche of ice water. Mr. Riddick attended the Deeper Waterways association convention at Richmond in October and was quoted as having emitted on that occasion the following sentiment: "I am from a southern city and am a southerner through and through. If r had one drop of northern blood in my htirt. T would tear It out." Tin- hoard of aldermen of Mr. Rld- ;: saw (It at a recent meeting t. ii')'i'i!i)tp this "ir"s.sion, and In ilol.'i.ir " tiicy shoi-d ihcmtielves not n!y ,itrc:iKl of t h, times and patriotic riii.-i'iis, i,u: true fi n-nils of the South. rlit .!..! tir-W. i lii.-' lamina would have been non-j srnsii-iil 4n years ago, and that it j si:. mid ha' e been Indulged in so lnop- I portunely ' j? a man worthy to head an j important city Is almost incredible, j The waterways convention was repre sentative of north as well as south, and had for Its purpose a develop ment of vast moment to the entire At lantic seaboard and the country at large. Such words would rankle in many a mind and create distrust of the Interests the utterer purported to represent. Such an attitude toward their north ern brethren was foreign to those who gave the lost cause Imperishable luster even in defeat; It is opposed to the overwhelming preponderance of senti ment in the south today; and the course of these assembled representa tives of a people in condemning it can not be too highly praised. Fourth 'rate politicians have too long had free rein in militating against a united country. The south could utter no more pious prayer than that It be saved from Its remagaguic friends. SAGE ADVICE REVAMPED. "As for large discourses," wrote Francis Bacon, "they are flat things, and not much noted." He remarks that short speeches "fly abroad like darts." American writers and speak ers, conspicuous for their prolixity, would do well to keep i In mind this admonition from one whose practice and precept were that brevity Is the soul of wit The national fault is brought forcibly to mind now that public discussion is again the order of the day,, and the advice ia especially comm'ended to members of the coming congress. Robert Louis Stevenson said a man who knew how to omit could make an Iliad of a dally newspaper. A statesman who knows when to stop can make a "Joy forever" out of a tariff speech. Columbia State: " 'Li Hung Chang has a rare ability to scent the pop ular side. The sly old human Inter rogation point Is now taking the side of the Chinese rebels.' Thus the Dan ville Register. In the pre-Homerlc age when great Hector and the son i f Thi t,s hacked each other' breaat l Tar on the ringing plains of windy Troy,' U was the custom of the gods on Olympos, according to the Chian bard, to take side In the con i;ie below. It 1 Interesting, there fore, to know trat the Chinese pan- th,.ju -in whli'h tlie Register lntl inat.i M 11 ins ChttiiK Is translated mil. mud this partisan interest in uiiimlune a fairs. We surmise that the intelligence of Li's action was conveyed In a 'grapevine, dispatch from Confucius, on whose bosom he has been snoring these ten years." In other words, the Register doesn't know Wu it talking about "But 'murder will out' The guilty party will e no peace end will be brought to justice," said the Raleigh New and Observer. .'.'Let us hope so," comment the Btatbeville Landmark; "but when one think of the una venged murders, right here in North Carolina,' not to apeak of the country at large, he i forced to admit that the New and Observer 1 taking counsel of it hope rather than Judg ing th future by the past." "Al least six murders," the Concord . Tribune say, "have been committed In Cabar rus county within the past It or IS years for which no on has suffered punishment, tn some of the case not CHENEY'S r.XPECTOHANT cu-'Ti couch m c ;lci - ' " v - .

Red surprise awaits you. even an arrest has been made." There have been several in this sec tion, one easily recalls two in about as many years. "The boy without a playground Is father to the man. without a Job." Chicago has spent $11,000,000 in the last 10 years, and New York 16,000,- 000 In the same length of time, for playgrounds. Wonder if Asheville is going to wait to establish playgrounds for her children until it becomes as expensive as It has 'jcen in the cities mentioned? the Health Bulletin nsks. The extent of the happening In Charleston Is gradually becoming known. It leaks out that Vincent Chlcco was elected an alderman. The Chinese rebel flag is white with a black rim.

I have read the same through twice to the end, and I have no words that might express my personal feel ing on the subject, or do Justice to my thoughts, which have been greatly en larged since reading the article, so great an Impression It has made. I have always been aoclaHstlcally in clined, but I had no Idea that the subject could be photographed so bril liantly, and Instructively condensed in such small space; and I heartily thank you for the priceless Information you give, and trust that you may repeat the same often in your papers, for those who have overlooked or failed to notice the value, that they may be awakened; for I am sure that every true-hearted American I liberal minded enough to Interest himself in the general welfare of the community. There are many times in life when we would love to do. If we only could. For Instance, when we look around at the sorrow and suffering, at the sin and shame, at the great misfortunes and calamities that come to our notice day by day, which seem to be on the Increase, instead of the reverse, we ask the question, "Why?" And I venture to say that the thought of a desire for better condition 1 often centered in almost every mind. But how? Peo ple are in the dark; and what thei need Is learning on a subject which no one has better opportunities and capabilities than you, to enlighten thi masses. .Thanks, Mr. Editor, plea keep up the good work, and I am satisfied that the glorious ideal con tained In your article may come to a realization of present condition and future betterment which may secure 'quality of opportunity to all; and to each laborer the whole product of hi' labor,' or a nearly as possible, I a worthy object of any good govern ment i . ......
