Ellsworth yet it is true, and Ellsworth
swells with pride.
Not only Ellsworth, but neighhoring
towns have become enthusiastic over the
concert, and the advance sale OF certifi-
Gates for seats has been more than en-
couraEing. During the past week nearly
100 more certificates have been sold here
in Ellsworth.
Every seat in the hall is reserved, and
there are but 1876 of them. When the tes-
tival chorus gave its concert last July
every seat in the hall was sold before he
concert began.
The coming concert far surpasses the
july concert in point of attractiveness,
and ought to draw al equally large house.
1t is more than thirty years since such an
array OF musical talent has been seen IN
Ellsworth; that was when Hancock hall
was dedicated.

Prof. William X. Chapman, the mag

concert possible for Ellsworth, prides
himself on his Maine ancestry. Until he
was twelve years old he resided in Bethel,
and still retains the old homestead as his
summer home. His loyalty to Maine is
the secret of his devotion to the Maine
festival, to which he has given time and
work with little pecuniary profit to HIM

The outcome of the latest incident
in the enforcement of the prohbitory
laws in Burlington, as detailed in the
news columns today, will be awaited
with much, interest by the people of
this state. If liquor was served lille
gally at the late banquet of the Fish
and Game league at the Van Ness the
law should certainly take it's course.
There cannot be one law for the rich
and another for the poor. All must
be served alike. This latest move.
however, looks at this distance like a
part of an organized effort to discredit
the prohibitory laws and make them
obnoxious. Be that as it may, these
laws ought to be enforced just
the same as other laws. If they
are not what the people want
they will be repealed, or modified.
If the people really want thorough
prohibition, there are laws enough
now to secure it if they are enforced
While we have not always agreed with
Gov. Woodbury., we believe he has
endeavored faithfully to obey the
spirit of these laws and conduct first
class hotel in prohibition state. We
believe he is sincere in his professions
of temperance. Whether he is in
favor of such extreme measures and a
technical enforcement of the law is
another question. He certainly is ell
titled to much credit for keeping so
good a hotel, without the sign of a
bar, or without the sale of intoxcat-
ing liquor. The Van Ness has been
held up as proof that a temperance
hotel can be made to pay in this state.
Perhaps this very fact accounts for
this latest move in Burlington.
