A Mass Meeting
Of Civic League and w. C. T. U. Workers
in HOultOn.

Of CIVIC League ana w. u. L. u. workers
in HOulton.
HOULToN, Me, Jan -. A mass meeting
OF the Civic League and W G. T. U. dele
gates from many sections throughout East
ern Maine, was held in Houlton, Thursday
afternoon, to protest against the laxity in
the enforcement of the Prohibition law in
Aroostook county.
The meeting was held in the county house
and was the outcome of widespread agta-
ton for the enforcement of the State LIQUOR
law.
Gov. Llewellyn Powers had received an
invitation to be present and he and County
Commissioners Ambrose, Dunn and Thur
Tough attended.
The court house was crowded with dele
gates representing % towns.
Rev. Charles Harbutt of Presque Isle pre-
sented petition signed by 1000 citizens in
the county demanding better enforcement
of the prohibition law.
Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens of Portland, presi-
dent of the Maine W. q. I. u, County Com
missioner Dunn, Mrs. &c. Porter of Caribou,
Mr.. W. G. Spaulding, Mrs. Adelaide John
son of Fort Fairfield, Rev. c. E. Owen and
Rev. H. L. Mccain spoke for the temper
ance workers of the State.
Gov. Powers made a statement announc-
ing that he would answer any questions the
delegates desired to ask him concerning the
methods employed to enforce the law.
A number OF questions were asked and
His Excellency replied to them, showing
that his sympathies were with the temper
ance cause.
The petition bearing 1920 Signatures of
Aroostook county citizens asking that the
officers be instructed to enforce the prohibi-
tory law, was next presented to Gov.
Powers.
In response the Governor spoke 20 min
utes, assuring his hearers that he felt with
them that the law was not rigidly enforced,
but Governor he had inSiat
that the officers enforce the law.
The meeting came to an end soon after
and Governor Powers held a short recep-
ton.
While the Civic League hearing was in
fact general one, it seems that the Cover
nor had only promised to meet a committee
of the league to receive the petition
However, the Governor was well received
and the event became of more than local i'm
portance.

Congressman Burleigh's tribute to the
late Congressman Milliken, delivered in
the House of Representatives last Satur-
day, and in part reproduced in another
column, was able and eloquent, worthy
of the subject and of the occasion. We
are glad to make this mention of the ad =
dress because of the slur of Democratic
newspaper at Congressman Burleigh in
advance of its delivery. We thought
then, and think now, that it is very poor
politics for a Maine paper to attempt to
belittle one of our Representatives in
Congress because he is a Republican. MI
Burleigh has been before the people of
Maine for many years and has received at
their hands the Offices of State Treasurer,
Governor and Congressman; and he has
filled every position with which he has
been entrusted with credit to himself and
honor To the State.

Body of Thomas McGreen Found.

The body OF Thomas McGreen wa
found Sunday morning. The water wa'
shut out of the canal below the gate house
about O'Clock, and half hour later mes
of the body was found caught on an iror
rod about half way between the gate house
and Flint's mill. Strictly speaking the
larger part of the body was found on this
rod, and minor parts of the body including
one of the feet were found farther dowr
the canal. A diver from Boston was pres.
sent, but his services were not required, a.
without his assistance practically all of the
body and all the clothing were found.
1t is the opinion of those in position to
judge best that the body was caught under
the gates when they were lowered Friday
this seems the only explanation of the hor-
ribly mangled condition in which it was
found. The funeral was from St. Charles
church yesterday morning with burial in
the old Catholic cemetery.
Thomas McGreen was one of the Oldest
residents of Bellows Falls, and in his death
