Correspondence.
Wanted; a Law and Order League.
ELLSWORTH, Oct. IL, 1901.


To the Editor of The american:
Some attention has been called of late
through the papers to law and order
league recently organized by the honest
and public business men of Cherrytield
The organization has sent notice to all rum
sellers in Cherryfield that it will prose-
cute and aim to get Jail penalties for every
violation of the existing liquor law, and
that these violations must and shall stop.
These courageous neighbors of ours are
an example to the honest business men
and decent citizens of Ellsworth. We
need similar organization, for il there
is any town of its size in this State more
cursed by these law defying dram sellers
than this town of ours, let some one tell
the postoffice are six places where liquor
is sold all day long and part of the night.
During the week of the fair, the sight
and. stencil of half-drunken men and
youths was disgustingly common. The
only men in this town that made money
during that week were these outlawed
rumsellers, every dollar OF which was as
illegally obtained as though picked from
the pockets of men and women on the
crowded streets.
Surely the sense of moral and social
right, the respect for law and State, is
not utterly and everlastingly dead here, is
it? We are not all of US towards nor all
of us dram drinkers, are we? Are there
not one hundred men in this town OF
over 1000 population who will get to-
gether, plank down some money aud en-
gage the professional services of the best
legal talent in the place and drive this
liquor selling gang out of the town or
into the Jail.
Let's get together and fight them; fight
them because they are standing menace
to our boys, our weaker citizens, our
women folks, our homes and our best So
cial and community good. This illegal
traffic is an unmitigated curse to the
best good of this town, even on the holy
and almighty dollar basis, for the cash
that goes for rum, ale and lager is so
much less turned from the legitimate
business OF the town-from the grocery
man, the market man, the dry goods
dealer, the clothier and the tax-collector
The writer will gladly be one of one
hundred others who will pay down $50 to
prosecute continuously, from now on to
the fulfextent of the law, these law-de-
flying, manhood wrecking, public-de-
bauching rum sellers of Ellsworth.

TIE Business Of Thinking.

The principal duty Of a good
citizen, after attending to his own
special business for the day, is to
take an interest in public matters
and to think seriously on problems
affecting the general welfare.
The best work that a newspaper
can do is to stir up serious thought
in its readers.
1t is far more important to make
hundred thousand men think
for themselves than to hire a
dozen able men to think in print,
says the Chicago American.
One purpose of the FREE PRESS
at the beginning Of the twentieth
century will be, each week, to
speak Of things worth thinking
about, and to record events of
current history which shall be
worthy OF consideration.
Many things happen each day
which are of general interest and
importance. 1t is impossible to
mention in complete editorials
even a small presentage Of these
current events. But it is possible
to call brief attention to the most
conspicuous happenings and let
the reader write his own editorials
mentally.
We shall take 1t as special
favor if our friends and readers
will let themselves be heard con-
corning the more important ques-
tons Of the day, and help US
speak of and think about things Of
importance in future.
