Prohibition In Maine.

and says she is prepared to speak
with greater authority than ever be-
fore on the subject Of prohibition on
its native heath. While she unques-
tionably found towns where the law
was violated she also found towns
where il was as prefectly enforced as
any other law upon the statute book.
IN one place the president OF the
union said 10 her: If we were to
see a man staggering upon our
streets we should be much more like

never see" In another place the min

example or two will show the trend

ALCOHOL RESPONSIBLE.
Are TrnceabIe TO DrinL-He-
fuddIed Brains.

Many Of the most serious railroad
and steamboat accidents have been
found in the final analysis to be due to
tie bad reasoning and faulty senses of
the responsible persons in charge.
When these accidents are studied they
are traceabie to distinct physical
causes, among which the use Of alco-
hol is most prominent. Thus the engi-
neer who, tired and worn. takes a
drink Of spirits. which all unconscious
~ depresses the acuteness Of his senses
and dulls his reasoning power. Later
the train orders are confused and the
danger signals are not correctly seen,
and a frightful accident follows. i'm
which be peri~hes. NO one realizes that
all this was due to the glass ~ spirits
taken tOrelieve his wearied state. The
captain Of q great steamship used
spirits TO keep warm while on the
bridge. and a few hours after made
terrible blunder. No one recognized
the connection between the spirits
taken and the accident. and yet 10 was
simply cause and effect His usual
mental clearness was duled and his
Judgment impaired An architect
planned a great block Of buildings
which collapsed. and he was punished
as dishonest and fraudulent. In reality
ii was the alcoholized brain - man
who drank daily. and yet his friends
saw no connection between the faulty |
plans and the accident which followed. |
An engineer who drank AZ night and in I
so-called moderation decided that q /
reservoir dam was safe and would bear |
any pressure. Iaterit burst and many .
lives and immense property was de-
stroyed. Here the same mistake was
made in trusting TO the faulty reason
ing Of the engineer. This list of dis
asters and losses might be extended
almost indefinitely. and only recently
IS there any suspicion that the use 81
alcohol was an active predisposing
cause. The delusion that alcohol used
in small quantities never impairs the
integrity Of the senses and reasoning is
contradicted by daily experience. 4

ing the inebriate TO be simply moral

II was one of our homely old philos-
o2hers who said: "Whcn you've
struck lie stop boring. Many a man
has bored clean through and let the lie
run out at the bottom" There is a
world Of wisdom in knowing when to
stop, especially in our efforts to aid
others. Many n hint might be accept
ed when bald advice meets only re-
sentiment. Many times a word that
might be effective loses its force when
it lengthens into a lecture, aptly says
Wellspring. Scolding is always weak,
