The Temperance Situation.

Our temperance laws are adequate and we
are all agreed that if put in force they would
etfectually and at once put stop to the pre,a-
lent, habitual, and increasing drunkenness
which is an enemy to the thrift of all a him
drance to moral and social elevation. and a dis
grace TO our city. There is also no lack of tenn
perance agitation, precept and oratory. but
rather surfeit 1t costs $4,000 to support our
poor for the current year, outside of private
charities, which are numerous and in some in
stances large. In ten Years il will cost twice as
much. according to present indications. Had
the laws been rigdly enforced during the last
decade, it is safe TO say that the expense of sup
porting the poor would not be over $500 a
year at this time. No one will deny that al
least three-fifths of the poverty and pauperism
is directly due to the use of liquor. Nor is this
all. We find criminal costs increased. We
find night watch necessary. There is ncreas-
ed jeopardy of both life and property. Bust
ness is hampered. Every business man makes
bad debts which in most instances the debtor
could and would pay did he not waste both
time and money in Incorporate habits. These

While he works only to support Il rum shop.
They object to helping to pay his debs. rs they
a,surcdy do, because the trader must live out
of the customers who pay. They Object TO al

can hold, and i bottle full to take along in his
pocket, and then turn him out among decent
people and make them hire police to lock him
up before he does damage; meanwhile the
county OF city pays the costs of trial and the
taxpayers support his family. On the other

The movement for the repeal of the lobster
law at the coming session of the Legislature
will meet with opposition, but it may be sue
ce>sful. The intent of the present law Is, no
doubt. to prevent the determination of the lob

ermen who are moving for the repeal of the
law say that il not only does not have this eff
feet but works to the advantage of the can
ners and to the disadvantage of the fishermen.
If this be true the law should be repealed or
modified. A correspondent of the Rock land
Opinion says the battle is between the rich
Gamer on one side and the catcher and eater of

RAILROAD NOTES.

RAILROAD NOTES.
The Somerset Railroad is emerging from its
misfortunes. 1t now is in the hands of the
bohdholders, and seems TO be established on
solid business basis. The earnings of recent
years have been devoted to needed permanent
improvements and the road is now in a better
condition than ever. Probably it will be eX-
tended 10 Bingham ere long. This is one of the
few branch lines of railroad in Maine which
the Maine Central has not absorbed.
The second annual report of the officers of
the Budgton Saco river railroad, Just issued,
shows the gross earnings for the year ending
sept 3Oth, to have been ST. .S0066; operating
expenses and tax 1913 ,349.37. The total number
Of passengers for the wear is II 80 amount Of
freight S.l6S tons.
Ii is rumored that Mr.. Payson Tucker will
have his headquarters in Bangor under the new
arrangement made necessary by the Boston Il
Maine lease.
1t appears by the directors report that the
Maine Central Railroad earned less money this
year than the year previous. bul saved more by
cutting down expenses.
The Eastern Maine Railway Co. will petition
the coming legislature for permission to reduce
their capital stock to S200.0 900.
