South PARIS, Me-, June 90, 1902.
Editor Democrat.
The article in the Maine Farmer of
recent date, with the above heading is
timely. The Republican party in this
state at the state convention held at
Portland on the 18th of this month put
itself on record, on the question of main
tanning the prohibitory law on the
statute books and its enforcement, in
the following emphatic language, which
friend and foe alike can fully understand:
"Every provision upon our statute books for
the Republican party which has always stood
for sobriety and thrift among the people Of our
state. We favor the continuance of all such
statutes and demand their faithful and impartial
enforcement by the officers of the law"
This plank in the platform was not
smuggled through the committee on
resolutions, nor did it pass unchallenged.
The original resolution prepared the
night beforehand was modified TO make
it stronger and more pointed. In its
present form it had the support of
almost the entire committee and when il
was read il was one of the two resolu-
tions which were loudly applauded by
the members of the convention. Moth
ing was said about re-submission, and it
is fair to assume that no such proposition
would have stood the least chance of re-
ceiving the endorsement of the CON-
mittee or of being adopted by the con-
yention. But what might have been
done, however, is not now in question.
The Democratic party of Maine at
Bangor last week, put itself pointedly on
record, as opposed to the prohibitory
law.
Here then is square issue between
the two parties in this state and on it,
they have gone TO the people. No modi-
fication of this issue should be injected
into the canvass. Who, in fact, has any
authority to do this? The raising of the
question of re-submission appears like
an overture to the enemy, while the bat
tie is already on.
The Maine Farmer does well to call
those Republicans who would shift their
ground or seek partial shelter, to their
duty, and remind them of the real issue.
The force of this cannot be broken by
allegations as TO what Mr.. Manley
thought about re-submission in 1900, but
il is of moment now, whether the con-
test shall be fought out on the lines laid
down by the Republican state conven-
ton.
One issue at time on the temperance
question would seem to be good policy,
and if there are those who would test the
question, whether the people of Maine
are in favor of re-submission they should
be reminded that it can have no place in
the contest this year and since, from the
nature of the case, it could in no way be
determined what proportion of the Re-
publican voters at this election are in
favor of resubmission, its introduction
at this time can only lead to division,
dissatisfaction and confusion among the
friends of the prohibitory law.

GREENWOOD.

There was to be game of base ball
between the boys of this part of the
town and South Bethel last Saturday, at
Locke's Mills, but the rain came on,
which of course, put stop to the game
before it commenced.
The men did good job on a part of
the road, last week, while in other
places it is quite evident they didn't use
much sandpaper with which to polish
up. They used lots of dynamite in blast
ing. and with good success except in one
instance; then instead of exploding as
usual the cartridge took fire and burned
like Roman candle, sending out flame
and shower of sparks until it was all
consumed. That, so far as the men are
aware, was something new under the
sun; and they would like to have some
one who knows it all rise and explain.

account of the cold weather.

Four days of fair weather and now,
Thursday, it is giving US good wetting

an over production of rain ever since
April came in and it seems a pity
that Texas could not have about one
half of it, since they are all drying up
there and shipping cattle out of the
state to save their lives.
