Seized Liquor Under ''Pure Food''
Ban.

Seized Liquor Under 'sPure Food,
Ban.
Chief of Police Newer of Old Orchard
has sprung a.brand new point that seems
likely to be effective in overcoming, in .
measure, thethandicap that the interstate
commerce law has been to local officers in
the enforcement Of the Maine prohibitory
law.
When he made two big seizures Of
liquors ct the Boston & Maine freight
sheds and the American express office, two
weeks ago, everyone supposed he had done
it with the sole intention OF making Old
Orchard dry the next day, Sunday, and
that the well known provision Of the
interstate law which protects from seizure
OF liquors in transit, would necessitate his
returning the load as soon as claims were
filed.
Chief Newer, however, had been look
ing up the pure food laws and, believing
that there would be Q chance to strike in
that line, he consulted federal authorities
and had tests made OF the seized LIQUORS.
1t is said that the tests showed all the
liquors seized to be under standard proof,
as much of the whiskey that comes into
Maine for sale is known to be. The rail-
road and express companies filed claims
for the seized liquors in question, but
when confronted with Chief Viewers al
legation that the liquors were shipped in
violation of the pure food Laws they de-
cided not to press the claims. No one APP
pearing TO answer the officers charge, the
court ordered the liquors destroyed.
II the precedent thus set by Old Or
chard's chief OF police is generally fol-
lowed throughout the State, i. will be
likely to result in materially lessening the
shipping Of low grade liquors into Maine,
and will give Maine officers an opportu-
nifty to hold up for investigation liquors
in transit heretofore protected until they
reached their destination.

The Importance of the Prayer Meeting.

The Importance of the Prayer Meeting.

"A testifying church. might well be
printed in every church paper and in

church can never flourish while one
man, however eloquent and gifted,
does all the preaching and all the
praying. 1t is undemocratic, unscrip-
tural, suicidal. The community of the
disciples in the upper room, we may
infer from the narrative, did not listen
to sermon, but did engage in a
prayer and testimony meeting. Wher-

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR.
Prays- Meeting Topic For the Week
Beginning Aug. Is.
BY REV. s Il. DOYLE

Topic.-ForcigD nissions-Christ In Mex
vco and South America.-Ex. AK. l-6.
The topical reference In that which
1t forbids sets forth the true religious
conditions in Mexico and South Amer
lea. Since the earliest settlements of
these great lands they have been large
ly dominated by Roman Catholicism.
This fact, taken together with the nat
ural conditions OF the inhabitants of
Latin America, has made the vast ma
jority of them idoiaters and image wor-
shippers They have seen Christ repre-
scented in images and symbols and have
not been able TO get far beyond the
images. Their conceptions of the real
Christ have fallen far short of what a
true Christians conception of Him
ought to be.
But. a brighter day is dawning In
Mexico and South America. Vast
progress has been made, especially in
South America, in the last twenty-five
years, industrially and politically. The
great wealth of the various countries
is being realized. and they are coming
more and more in touch with the life
OF other nations The character OF
the people is being gradually raised TO
higher standard.
Moreover. Protestant missions were
introduced about the same time as the
industrial awakening took place, and
good results have followed. The diff
culties in the way have been very
great, but >they are gradually being
overcome. The prosecutions that once
stained the soil of these countries with
the blood of martyrs has entirely
passed away. Though Mexico is so
close to the United States. yet in the
days of early Christian work no less
than sixty or seventy missionaries suf-
fered nlartyrdom in that land. The
American Bible society, the Christian
Endeavor society and the prominent re-
ligious denominations Of our country
are earnestly at work in both Mexico
and South America. Almost every
country in South America is now
opened to the gospel. with the result
that thousands have been led TO Christ.
In Brazil especially good results are
being produced. and as Brazil goes so
60 largely the other countries of the
continent But there is still vast
amount Of work to be done. and every
Endeavorer should do his part. Mexico,
and South America need, above all
our prayers and our sympathy. Conse-
Grated workers are also needed As
our country, under the Monroe doc
frine. protects them from foreign in
rasion, the Christian church, under
Christ's commission. should protect
them from sin and superstition. What
will you do In this great work?

ARE
NOT WORRYING
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN STABILITY
OF CONDITIONS IN THE UNITED
STATES.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-While the SEN
sation mongers here and in other Eu-
ropean capitals have seized on the
crisis in New York to discredit Ameri-
can finance and financial methods,
there is a strong note of optimism in
more reliable and saner quarters.
Though acknowledging that the crisis
is disturbing to the nerves of the
financial world, it is not forgotten that
the industrial and agricultural pros
perity of the United States is extreme
ly satisfactory. The money market
trouble, coming with the admitted gen.
eral prosperity, seems to bother all
pervasive professional critics of Amer
lean financial conditions, but all are
willing otherwise to praise the prom
inent institutions for so splendidly
withstanding the runs on their Golfers.
The situation described as a rich
mans crisis, but poor mans panic.
At the same time, it is insisted that
while the unreasoning fears resulting
ing in the panic may be assuaged, the
crisis remains. The crisis is alleged to
have been due to gamblers who have
built up a tottering fabric of manipu-
lation and chicanery on the broad bas-
is of general prosperity" It is point
ed out that prosperity will be cleaner
for the removal of the rotten super
structure, and in the wreckage caused
by the downfall of the gamblers, in
vestors will find more of an opportun-
lty for picking up cheap and sound
stocks"

HEAD OF BERKELEY DEPART
MENT OF HYGIENE, ADVISES A
LITTLE ALCOHOL.

BERKELEY, October 2S.-Dr Allen
F. Gillian, head of the department of
hygiene at the University of California
instructed his class in the culinary art
in a recent lecture, and, after explain
ing the best methods of preparing a
tough beefsteak and other food the
doctor remarked that a little alcoholic
refreshment now and then was not at
all detrimental, but really aided in
preserving" the food For French
dinners, wine is essential according to
DIR. Gillian.
He advised the students who board
themselves that health is a more desir-
able asset than a college education and
therefore to be sure and eat sufficient
food
The preparation of coffee and tea
was dwelt upon These beverages
said DR.. Gillian, should not be boiled,
as the process produces certain insi-
dious poisons which are harmful to the
human organism. Cereal foods were
classed as the cleanings of gTanaries
mixed with coloring and put up In
fancy packages.
1t was not so very long ago that DR..
Gillian was credited with recommend
ing coal oil shampoo for the head.

The Fleet And Its Mission

The wisdom or the menace of send
ing the battle ship fleet to the Pacific
coast must be determined by the in
ternational view of that incident. The
transfer of the ships from one ocean
to the other may be as innocent in it's
intention and as peaceful in it's mis-
sion as naval review in Oyster Bay.
But it must be admitted that if Euro.
pean, and of course Asiatic, sentiment
persists in regarding the incident as
of belligerent character, it will be diff
ticult to prevent imparting to the ma
val movement a significance which
the representative of the administra-
ton have been prompt and emphatic
in denying. These official expostula-
tions will avail little if British, Ger.
man, French and japanese opinion at
taches to the transfer of the fleet an
object which is unfriendly.
1t is, therefore, something more
than merely interesting to know what
the British newspapers are finding in
the incident Two great organs of
opposite sides of British politics. the
Spectator and the Nation, for instance,
come together with a unanimity Of
view which is refreshing.
The Spectator says of the general
situation: AT first sight and even at
second sight it seems unfortunate
that the cruise of the battleships
should take place now when the OBJ
ject of every responsible American as
we are convinced is not to paint the
international situation in more vivid
Colors, but rather to reduce it to an
agreeable dove color. The
uncomfortable conjunction of facts
which makes the visit inopportune has
been brought about by accident and
not design" The paper denounces Ad-
miral Evans and Secretary Metcalf for
using language which was capable of
mischievous interpretation and then
asks why President Roosevelt, recog-
nizing the harm that may be done by
an unwise Interpretation of the cruise,
does not use his power to postpone
it. The editor then proceeds to an
swer his own question in this inge-
NOUS fashion:
I'VE believe that President Roose-
velts character alone is the answer
He is kind of moral aristocrat whose
high courage is almost arrogantly inn
patient of motives meaner than his
own. He sweeps mistaken words by
public men and foolish words by the
yellow press to one side as though it
were impossible that they could have
any power for evil. Perhaps he I'M
derrates the power of folly, but that
is part of his character. He goes
marching on as if the yellow press
could not poss bly, use the trans
ference of the fleet to the Pacific as
an instrument of mischief" Finally
the Spectator warns the United States
that if Japan does not wish to res
trict immigration to the United States
and Canada, Great Britain can not
join the United States in compelling
her to do so.
The Nation agrees that President
Roosevelt is a shrewd enough politi-
clan to be we'll aware that his action
would work up a war scare. What
really disturb the minds of sober per-
sons" says the Nation, lis not the

WILL INTRODUCE
SHIP SUBSIDY Bill
REPRESENTATIVE HUMPHREY
SAYS DECLINE OF MARINE
MAKES 1T IMPERATIVE.

SEATTLE, October 26.-Representa-
tive w. E. Humphrey will go to Wash
ington about the middle of next month.
He thinks the next session of congress
will be one of the most important in
the history of the country in view Of
the far reaching Importance of the
questions that will come before it.
81 propose TO submit a ship subsidy
bill at the coming session." he said
last night. 1T is a subject of particu-
lar interest to the Pacific coast, as we
have seen the results of the present
policy of the government in the fact
that out of fifteen American vessels
that were in general service on the Pa
cific only eight are now running, six
having dropped out and one having
been wrecked. | understand that the
owners of the remaining steamers are
only too willing to sell their vessels.
This is a condition that is of vital inn
portance to the Pacific coast, and real
ly to the business interests of the
country generally. l believe the whole
subject Of ship subsidies will receive
more extended sympathetic discussion
during the next congress than it has
received in the past.
president Roosevelt included the
subject of the upbuilding Of the mer-
chant marine in conversation with
me as one of the three great problems
of national Importance. The others
were the regulation of the railroads
and Of corporations and the Panama
canal.
"The conditions of traffic on the Pa
cific ocean have greatly changed since
the Japanese-R Russian war. The ORR
entail situation now offers opportuni-
ties to commerce such as never existed
before The present meet of American
vessels is declining in numbers, Near
ly half of them have gone out of SER
vice, and the owners Of the other half
are willing enough to drop out because
the financial burden they are asked to
bear in the development of the Orient
al trade is more than they can bear.
Certainly the Pacific coast will get a
