Friday, Sept 10Th, 1902, being the I2sth
anniversary of the battle of Saratoga, the
Hands Cove chapter, daughters of the Ameri-

of East Shoreham to celebrate the day. The

otto quotations and then transacted the bust
ness before the chapter. After the reports
| from the different officers one of the most
pleasing duties that has ever come before the
chapter was the voting on the application Of

member of this organization When the
motion was put the ladies responded by ris-

the honor and distinction of being "real"
| Daughter, as her father was a captain in the

entitled to the Gold spoon, which the society
presents to all its real Daughters. An article

at Washington. The Advisory Committee was
instructed to nominate a committee to raise
funds for the purpose of erecting marker
near Hands Cove, to show future generations
the spot where Ethan Allen embarked on his
/ famous expedition to capture Fort Ticonderoga
After the usual recess, Mrs. Mary Root Abel
of Orwell read a very delightful ancestral
sketch of her maternal and paternal ancestors
who both bore the name Of Root and decend-
ed from John Root, who came to this country
in the year 1880. "1he Battle Of Saratoga
and few events which cast their shadows be-
fore, was the title Of an able paper by Mrs.
/ Nj. +. Collins, which came next on the pro-
gramme and was much enjoyed by all. Then
Miss Mabel Delano read VIM. Cullen Bryant
poem entitled, "1he Battle Field,' and the
meeting closed by singing America. During
the social hour, fine refreshments were served
and all dispersed feeling they had been most
pleasingly and proitably entertained.

BISHOP REGRETS DOLE
IN HIS ATTITUDE ON
The SALOON QUESTION
Government Should Be Ashamed of
Its Connection With Saloon
Business - Familiarity
Breeds Contempt

Under the caption, Government and
the Saloons" The Friend edited by
Rev. S. Il. Bishop publishes the fol
lowing:
We greatly regret to criticize adj
versely the attitude taken by Govern
or Dole towards the liquor traffic, be.
cause we thoroughly know him to be
both an enlightened and conscientious
official. But his long familiarity In
dealing with the business seems to
have rendered him in some degree in
sensible to its actual turpitude. We
refer to his expression which we heard
him use, Il am not ashamed to say
the Government Is in the business, and
responsible to a large extent"
II seems to us that this Is not the
attitude which the Government can
properly occupy towards traffic in
intoXiCants which Is devoted To
tempting the purchasers. 1t may pos
sibly be the duty of the Government
to conduct dispensaries, where no in.
ducements, temptations or solicita'
lions are made to purchasers. But not
50 with saloons. The proper attitude
of the Government Is that of a restrict
ing and discOuraging agency toward
that which is evil and destructive to
society, but which tne law forbids Il
to suppress. The money derived from
the licenses should be regarded as In
the nature of a fine going towards
meeting the immense police and prIs
on expenditure consequent on the eva
traffic.
The Government should not In any
sense be in the saloon business, and
should be ashamed to be thought 50
1t should be hostile to 1t. It is y
shameful business, and a deep disgrac,
TO all who participate in II. because II
is devoted to turning men into drunk
ards and thus destroying them In
body and soul.
