Does that correspon dent Of the New Age,
who dates from Houltou, know that the pub
fishers of that paper are in favor of prohibit
ton, and the proposed amendment to our
constitution? If so, will he be so kind as to
inform this community upon what authority
he builds his belief? They have been asked
several times to define their position on these
questions, but so far are silent. The best
opinion here is that they are opposed to both
prohibition and the amendment, and further
that they are in favor of license, which means
the open dram shop indorsed by the State.
All our local papers here are outspoken in
favor of both prohibition and the proposed
amendment, and against license. except the
New Age. Has not the Houlton man been
taking in taffy.

ed the mother of magazines in this
country Gray-haired l,en and women
remember it as an cntainer when their
hearts were young, and young people
associa te it with their first Introduction
