PEDEsrniAsisA AND PIErr. - Edward

gard to his little wink from Portland to Chi
cago, which he commenced Tuesday, Oct.
29th. He says he Is walking Oh a heavy

cy to pay his debts: he mikes his piety
and pcdestrinnism in n style quite novel, ut
least. He adds:
''Some people condemn me for this UNDER
taking, and look upon Il the same rs they
would upon prize fight. They think that be-
cause my Maker has endowed me with greater
walking abilities than most Of my fellowmen.
and because walk for q wager. no matter to
what laudable purpose my winnings villbe ap-
piled, u I an successful. that must be classel
with prize fighters. Now this is . Islander on IN
honest man who Is willing to do anything un-
der the sun that will legitimately enable him to
liquida.s his debts.

that. understanding my motive for this race.

tive, he will guide me to my journeys end"

scope TO virtue. Therefore, he would have the

and would discontinue public tippling-placcs,
surrounding licensees with all needed police
regulations, and giving TO judges the power OF
annulling licenses. In short Gov. Andrews logic
would 80 far conserve great cvii as "a
police it, and make it decent in mems
eyes. While the eminent eS-Goycrnoi
thus pleads the cause OF Reaction, Prohibition
is declared by its intelligent friends a success
both strong and strengthening. Seeing tins
can Massachusetts, afford to give up its public
virtue and abandon it, dearly prohibition
this is the question. 1t will perhaps require
legislative courage to decide against the pow
crfu interest of license, but we do not yet bellcvC
that Massachusetts will fall backward into the
guardianship of the Liquor interest.
