Should Be Considered SoIely~Upon It's
Own Merits =

The Democratic papers profess TO
an expression of the people of Maine
upon the question Of prohibition by the
submission of direct proposal to re-
peal the constitutional amendment IS
better than a resolve which would
secure a full free expression of public
sentiment upon the same question
through the referendum. They are
striving desperately, but Intellectually
TO keep this question, which should
appeal to the voters of our state purely
upon its own merits, within the narrow
limits of partisan politics. They
would send it to the people, with a
two-thirds vote of the Legislature
Fortunately th. Initiative and Re-
fairer method Of getting at the qucE-
ton Of whether or not it is the desire
Of the citizens 0f Maine to retain or
abandon the prohihitory principle.
Under the referendum tle whole
matter can come from tho people
themselves without regard to party
alignment or legislative action.
1t can be submitted To popular
vote at Il special election where
il will be considered solely upon
its own merits entirely divorced from
all question of party tickets, and tie
prcjudiceS of party contests. 1t is
not surprising that this manner of
determining the will of the people as
regards this great question of morality
and good citizenship should appeal
strongly to the honest voters of both
parties-Who believe that a public eX-
preston upon a matter of this magni-
tildr and importance, should not be
hampered by the turmoil of political
campaisn. or The distractions of
partisan politics.

FARMING in Aroostook County.

The WaterVille Sentinel lifts up ITS
r. adler of the Bangor Commercial" who
claims tn be Il farmer and to writ"
from Caribou. expresses the opinion
that the potato crop in Aroost ook Will
be far below the usual yield this sea-
son This was due to a late spring
and an exceedingly Wet summer and
fall. 1t will be regretted by all good
citizens except a few. who like the
Sentinel hope to exploit the results of
a backward ana unfavorable season to
political advantage. They doubtless
expect to show that all these un
favorable weather conditions We're
directly due to the Republican party.
The Sentinel expresses its solemn
opinion that farming in Maine is not
"a SYNONYMOUS occupation with clip
ping coupons from government bonds.
paratively few men in Maine 10 enjoy
the privileges Of the owner of the
Sentinel. Farming at best means hard
work for any man who succeeds in it.
The fact. however. that Aroost0ok
farms which sold twenty years ago for
$2.5oo. S3,5o0 and $4,000 have sold
during the past two years for $4,000.
$1,000 and $4,000 would indicate, to
anyone less biased than the Sentinel.
that farming has not been altogether
il failure in that county.
