Il visited Portland. Bangor, Bath.
Brunswick, Augusta. Lewiston and
Waterville in the State of Maine and
to my surprise I found that there was
far more drunkenness in those towns
than in any other places such as Bos-
ton, New York. Brooklyn, Philadel-
phia, which are license towns.
Before 1 proceed further let me say
emphatically that it is every mans
duty to promote the sacred cause Of
temperance, morality and the spiritual
welfare of the people. and if / found
that prohibition helped to temperance,
morality and the Christian religion,
which in our Western civilization lies
at the bottom Of all morality, 1 should
be bound to support it. But what l
did find was quite to the contrary"
Mr.. Thomson gave a number of sta
tistics regarding drunkenness in
Maine and was of the opinion that
prohibition did not serve the ends ex-
pected.

noteworthy success IN their splendid
production in the Grand Opera House
last night Of "The Life of Martin
Luther" or the 25o persons IN the
cast not one failed TO carry the as-
signed role TO a successful finale The
production, ON the whole. was artistic,
and the large and appreciative attend

of the play.
Especially pronounced was the sue

William Thompson of New
Zealand Collecting Data
in This Country

William Thompson, of South New
Zealand, who has been sent, to this
country by the party Of which he is
head, to collect data on the liquor
question and on the prohibition laws
in the portions of the country in which
they are operative, is registered at the
Clayton House Mr. Thompson is in
Delaware preparatory to taking trip
across the continent. to end at Van
couver, b. c.. on November s. This
is Mr.. Thompson's FIRST visit to
America.
"I like American officials exceeding
ly," said Mr.. Thomson to-day. "They
are the very essence of cordiality and
politeness. The American people I like
very much. Their ideals are high.
Their energies are great and they are
a hopeful people. They struck me oc-
casionally as being somewhat solemn.
For instance travelling anywhere in
England, Scotland or Australia you
can get into conversation with fellow
travellers who enjoy all the wit and
humor you can give them and give as
much in return. The American strikes
me as being somewhat reticent Per-
haps the fault may be my own.
Sees Some Problems.
There are some questions here
which constitute problems larger in
some ways than the Anglo-Saxon race
has yet had to face For example the
negro problem. The magnificent ideals
Of the immortal Abraham Lincoln,
President Grant and the other idealists
of the sixties do not seem to me TO
have been assimilated by a great many
of the Southern population. The mar
riage question presents quite a new
phase in America to the British visitor.
The number Of your divorces are quite
incomprehensible to me. What is the
cause? How long is this state of
things going TO continue?
President is Great.
your President we look upon as
one of the greatest mer living. and If
he were to visit London tomorrow,
no American city could give him a
more roval welcome than London

IN speaking of his mission to this
country and what he had encountered
in the way of conditions regarding the
places where prohibition exists. Mr..
Thomson said:

MERCHANTS PLAN
TO COLLECT TAXES
System to be Adopted Of HaV-
ing a Central Bureau
to Father Money

At the meeting of the Mercantile
Association last night it was decided
to establish a system by which the
merchants who have bills of long
standing on their books can be protect
ed. The advisability Of establishing
a central bureau for the collector of
delinquent bills has been considered
for sometime. The bureau is now an
assured fact The following report
was adopted without any opposition:
I'VE would recommend the old sys-
TEN of 1928 letters be used We would
recommend a bureau of information.
a center to which all such delinquents
.should be reported by such members
for the benefit of the members at
large. We would recommend that such
bureau be central ami that we ac-
cept the offer of E. Mettler. at No.
ZIG Market street. Bornot building, as
our quarters. We recommend Mr..
Mettler as manager Of the bureau of
information, ana further recommend
that Mr.. Mettler be paid a percentage
on all moneys paid on accounts hand
ed to him for collection. the amount
of percentage to be agreed upon by
the members and Mr.. Mettler at the
time the accounts are placed in his
hands for collection"
This report was adopted by the or
ganization, and the bureau win be es-
tablished at once. The members be-
lieve they will be greatly benefited by
it, and they think bills they have had
trouble in collecting win hereafter be
paid without any delay. AT the meet
ing there was some discussion by the
members on the adyisab.lity Of having
such bureau. and all those present
were favorable 10 the proposition.
