In reviewing the attempt of Boston
Herald correspondent to enlighten the
readers of that paper on Maine politics
or perhaps we should say to misin-
form them, which is more in the Her
AIDS line so far as this State is concern
ed Portland Evening Express sums
the matter up as follows:
Meanwhile the Republican organiza-
ton is intact, the State is being well
governed, its people are as contented,
prosperous and happy as the people of
any other part OF the globe, and the
Democrats are the only ones who are
doing any worrying.

The brewers of the United States in
their recent national convention at At
lantic City, n. j., made no secret of the
fact that they are alarmed over the
great advance in prohibition sentiment,
and the National Wholesale Liquor
Dealers Association, in session at the
same place, found itself confronted
with a like condition. While the brew
ers were charging the distillers and
dealers with bringing discredit on the
saloon business, the distillers and deal
ers We're declaring that the brewers
were responsible for the Glow dives and
disreputabe resorts" which have, they
allege, caused undeserved prejudice
against the liquor trade. The break
between the two organizations was
made complete by the liquor dealers
refusing to appoint an arbitration COM
mittee to meet the brewers, and in
stead they voted their Endorsement of
lor that henceforth the organization
throw it's influence and support with
the temperance cause; Temperance,
in the liquor dealers vocabulary stand
ing for moderate drinking. To this end
they favor model license law" and
strict enforcement. President Taylor
in his opening address said: During
the last twelve months the prohibition
lists have made grave inroads upon this
business. Unless we work with more
energy and determination to stop this
tidal wave. every State in the South
will be closed against u.s." One of the
reforms he proposed was the elimiIla-
ton of the drunkard from the saloon
business. He said: "Let us cut off,
root and branch, the minor, the drunk
ard, the criminal, the dance hall and
the vicious of every kind" That would
truly be an heroic measure, as in many
places the classes named are the prin-
cipal customers of the liquor sellers
and are constantly recruited from the
ranks of those who begin as moderate
drinkers.
The brewers on the other hand pro.
posed to sever all relations with the
distillers and dealers in liquor and to
conduct an educational campaign in
favor of their product SO that the PEG.

In speaking the other day of recent
local railway accidents, believed to be
due to the spreading of the rails, Bel
fast man suggested that this might be
obyiated by metal ties, as the rails spik-
ed onto soft wood ties would naturally
be expected to work loose after time.
A few days later we came across this
item in an exchange:
Steel ties have proved failure on
American railroads. After thorough
trial, the Pennsylvania will replace
them with cedar and Georgia pine ones.
A recent serious accident on one of the
trunk lines is declared to be chargeable
to the contraction of the metal ties on
a sharp curve, forcing the wheels Oft
the rails.

Common Sense Spreading.

One of the most gratifying evil
dences of the development of COM
mon sense in Indiana is the growth of
the sentiment for the practical pro-
lection of fish. The latest county or
ganization for the enforcement of the
fish and game laws is at Crawfords-
vile, where seventy-two prominent
citizens have banded together to put
stop to the seining, spearing and
dynamiting that have almost depop-
ulated Montgomery county streams.
Koseiusko county, which took this
course some months ago, reports that
there is already marked improve
ment in its lakes and streams that
promises return to their old-time
excellence.
Al the same time comes a report
from Richmond of investigation by
the Fish Commission of charges that
the Richmond Artificial Gas Company
is again turning refuse oil into the
Whitewater and killing fish by thous-
ands. If guilty the company should
be punished to the full extent of the
law; In all probability what is called
refuse oil' is something that would
make valuable by-products if Z the
company management knew how to
utilize it, But whether it is or not,
they know the wrong they are doing
for they have been complained of be-
fore and have promised to discon-
tinue the nuisance.
1t is folly to make sewers of the
natural streams, and folly that must
result in injury to health generally.
1t is folly to allow the destruction of
acqpatic life by dynamiting and SEM
ing 1t is folly to permit the reckless
and useless prevention of a large food
supply that nature would provide if
mere opportunity were given. 1t is
folly to drive away numbers of pleas
uresseekers who are drawn by the
beauty and convenience of Indiana
lakes and streams when they can get
fair fishing. 1t is folly for masses OF
citizens to submit to deprival of an
innocent and enjoyable pastime be-
cause some people insist on violating
the laws. 1t is folly for any one who
believes in law enforcement to treat
lightly the persister- violation of any
law.-Star.

Young Heroine Fire Victim.

Search of the ruins of the Univer-
sity Building at Kansas City recently
burned revealed that Miss Aurora
Wittebort also lost her life Thurs
day in the FIRE in which Professor
George DeMare was killed. Ali the
other missing persons have been ac-
counted for and of the injured it is
believed none will die.
Miss Wittebort, who was 25 years
old, was pianist of much talent, who
had recently returned from Germany,
where she had studied for two years
1t is believed she persisted in her
room on the fifth floor, and that her
body was carried down with the de-
bris to the basement.
Miss Wittebort was the hero of a
train incident in Indiana when she
was a girl, twelve years ago, and for
her bravery, which resulted in saving
a fast passenger train which bore a
number of French and Belgian Off
Gals, en- route to Chicago, she was
decorated by the French government
A small bridge on division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad near Hartford
City Ind, where Miss Wittebort then
lived with her family, caught fire.
The "Cannonball' passenger train,
westbound, was due to arrive within
a short time and Miss Wittebort. the
first to see the danger, ran to the top
of steep grade east of the bridge
and awaited the arrival of the flyer
She succeeded in tagging the train
with her red skirt and enabled the
engineer to bring it safely to stand
still within few yards of the bridge.
The incident was brought to the at
tention Of the French government,
which, later, decorated Miss Witte-
bort, while the passengers raised a
fund that was used in giving her a
musical education abroad.

AS thou desirest the love of God
and man, beware of pride. 1t is a
tumor in the mind, that breaks and
ruins all thine actions; worm in thy
treasury, that eats and ruins thine
estate. 1t loves no man, and is be-
loved of none, it disparages another's
virtues by detraction, and thine own
by vainglory 1t is the friend of the
fatterer, the mother of envy. the
nurse of fury, the sin of devils, the
devil of mankind 1t hates superiors,
scorns interiors, and owns no equal.
In short, til thou hate it, God hates
thee-Bolingbroke

w. c. T. U. Speaker So Terms It in
Bitter Arrangement of Polyganay.

Utah was characterized as a traitor
state and number of personal exper-
fences were related depicting the per-
secutions of womanhood and the
practice of polygamy in its boundar-
les during the opening programme of
the Cook county w. c. T. U. spring
institute at the First Methodist
Church, Clark and Washington
streets Friday afternoon.
There were also a number of adj
dresses made and much discussion in
dulged in concerning the subject of
temperance instruction in the public
schools and the total abolition of
liquor traffic from the country.
Utah and polygamy were brought
before the meeting first by Mrs. A.
Z. ONeal, who read synopsis of
the speech of Senator Julius C. Bur
rows for the unseating of Senator
Reed Smoot of Utah. She told at
some length of the treachery of the
mormon priesthood and leaders that
brought defiance and contempt for
the United States government into
the attitude of Utah citizens after
their enfranchisement She described
the secret endowment house" of Salt
Lake City wherein promiscuous mar
riages are performed and kept from
the record books, so that men are en-
abled there to marry as often and as
many spouses as they choose.
Following the reading Mrs. c. A.
Walker contributed an address on
her recent travels and impressions in
Utah.
In the speeches that followed the
sentiment was forcefully expressed
that temperance is the paramount is
sue before the public now and that
the time is soon to come when sa-
looms and distilleries will be shorn
of their license and legality. At
night literary and musical program
was rendered.
Judge Samuel Artman, who recent
ly became noted for his decision
against the licensing of saloons, spoke
before the meeting also.
