Auburn Men To Be
Made Constables.
Movement Supported by Men of
Both Cities.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

. Auburn, September ia nsW move
In relation to the enforcement OF the
prohibition law, and one which promises
to be effective, is given to the correspon-
dent of the PRESS. Several weeks ago
committee, which was composed OF
leading business and professional men of
this city and Lewiston, was organized
and steps taken for the furtherance OF a
plan which would result in the better
enforcement of the law against liquor
selling, which is open and notorious In
this county and especially in the city OF
Lewiston. This committee is composed
of men who are Republicans. They op-
posed the nomination of Republican
sheriff George e Huskins. This availed
nothing and they then nominated an In
dependent candidate, w. S. Larrabee.
He was defeated and the Republi can
elected in the election of Monday. 1t is
now stated that the intention is to have
the liquor laws enforced by constables
from this city. Mr.. Larrabee, who was
run as the independent candidate, it Is
said, will be placed in the charge of the
cOnstables, He at one time was a special
UcpuoyktO 0uAOIC0 Ou6 pfOnlDlbOIy law ana
SO knows the ms and outs of the busi-
ness. The PRESS correspondent is told
that meeting was held last night and
another this evening in the interests of
the proposed plan. It is further Stated
that the work of making seizures win be-
gin at once so that the cases can be
brought into the September term of the
Supreme court. In the past, attempts OF
this kind of enforcement have been
made, but they have all ended in being
farces. 1t is asserted that the men who
viii be employed as constabIes in this
latest movement viii be men OF charact.
er, who cannot be cajoled or bought. It
is stated that the intention is to close the
200 or more liquor places in Lewiston,
and make that town drier than it has ev-
er been since prohibition became a law.
The election of Mr.. Pearson sheriff in
Cum berland county has stimulated pro.
htD1tion people to take active steps to.
wards enforcement. Not only are gentle
men here interested in this movement
but men in Lewiston and other places in
the county are giving it active aid and
moral support

low for standing use; a small metal pitch
er and basin, the former never filled ex-
cept by special request; a single iron bed
stead, the wornout springs of which had
been replaced with boards, three snaky
chairs and a common wooden table.
The bed had single straw mattress
and a dingy red blanket, and the floor
and table were covered with dirty and
dilapidated oilcloth. The room was pa
pered in bright blue. and the single sash
curtain was Of dingy cotton. Tackled
along the wall beside the bed, probably
for ornament, was the remnant Of an old
felt piano cover.

MIR. MANLEY'S PROGRAMME.
Some Things 1t VIII PROFIT the Next
Legislature to Remember.

Lewiston, September .13 Chairman
Joseph H. Manley OF the Maine Republi-
can State committee, makes this state
ment to the Journal:
'There are many lessons involved in
the September election in our state,
which, it seems to me, the Republican
party should ponder we'll and profit by.
There are three things which believe
the Republican party must do in order
to retain control in this state. We have
an overwhelming majority in the next
legislature and will be held responsible
for whatever legislation is enacted, Z and
responsible for what we fail to enact
that the people demand shall be enacted.
First, we must revise our system of
taxation in accordance with the specific
promise made by the Republican state
convention, so that every kind property
OF whatever nature or description, shall
bear It's just proportion of the public
burdens.
Second, we must Insist that the pres
ent prohibitory law shall be strictly and
rigidly enforced in every section of the
state. The people have a right to any
law they desire. They are the soyereigns.
They have, whenever they had the oppor-
tunlty. voted overwhelmingly in favor of
prohibition. I agree that many of our
best men think the cause of temperance
should be better promoted by local
option, high license law. If the majori-
ty of people so think that should be the
law OF the state; and can see no pos
sible objection to again submitting to
the people the question, which would
have to be presented in a proposition to
repeal the present constitutional pro
vision. But until that is done, and the
people vote to repeal it, we have plain
duty to perform, and that is the enforce
ment Of the law.
'The condition today is that we are
having a practical license law because
in many, If not ALL the counties, in the
state, it is the practice to indict once
or twice year, every man who pays
to the United States special retail
liquor dealers tax. Heis indicted on
that fact. and in 90 cases our of 100 set
ties and pays what Is demanded of him.
This, L admit, sWells the receipts OF the
county treasury, but I submit that it is
not the wise and proper course to pur-
sue.
Next, we must wipe from the statute
book every law which contains the fee
system. 1t is obnoxious to the people. 1t
is unjust. Pay our officials a good, fair,
generous salary, and let the people know
what it received for their public services.
"Our last Legislature refused to in
crease the salary of the judges. If we
can afford to pay the judges OF our su-
preme court only So, 800, our chief magis-
trate $4,000, our stats treasurer, who has
the handling of s., OOO, 900 per year, 81, 600,
we certainly should not pay our county
officials all the way from $1,000 to S25,
COO; or permit any law to exist which
viii allow them to receive this compensa-
ton, directly or indirectly.
