MIR. BLEAsE HAS A LIQUOR BILL.
Adept It, He Says, and the Whislkey
Problem is Solved.

Newberry, December 31.--State
Senator Cole l.. Blease, who led the
fight into the last trenches for the
State dispensary, and who was with
the State dispensary at its death, has
been In communication S,ith promi-
nent people throughout the State who
have taken an interest in reaching
some satisfactory settlement of the
liquor trouble. &sa
Senator Blease announces that he
has decided upon plan, and unless
something happens to change his
opinion between this time and the
opening of the next General Assem-
bly, he will Introduce bill in the
Senate on the opening day of the
next session embodying his plan.
Senator Blease thinks the solution
is to pass a prohibition law for the
entire State, to go into operation on
July /, 1908, with privilege to any
of the counties on petition of one
fourth tho qualified electors Of the
particular county to vote upon the
question of prohibition or license, the
license to be granted upon the prcs-
ent constitutional and dispensary re-
strictions. His bill would provide,
he said, that any holder Of license
sending whiskey In any quantity into
dry county should forfeit his IL
cense, and, upon conviction, be SEN
tened to serve six months in the State
penitentiary at hard labor without
the alternative of a fine. For violat-
ing any of the restrictions any holder
Of license should forfeit his license.
The license, IL granted, he says.
should 80 one-half to the city or town
in which 1t Is granted and the other
half to the general county fund, the
license to be regulated by the city
councils and the county board of
commissioners OF each county voting
for license.
In this way, he says. parties hold
ing licenses would see to it that
blind tigers were prosecuted, and he
believes that his plan would bring
about the solution Of the whiskey
problems
Senator Blease has announced that
he will be a candidate in the primary
next summer to succeed himself as
State Senator from this county.

WARDEN MEALS FARM.

Walter |. Neal, the watchful warden
who is superintendent Of the Bangor
clearing house for big game, knows
something about poultry as well as
moose and deer, and takes great pride
in a big farm that is conducted by his
son, F. Ray Neal, at Waldo Station. On
Thursday Warden Neal sent to his son
fifty of the handsomest Barred Ply
mouth Rock hens that ever wore feath-
ers, and these will make the hen popu-
lation on young Mr.. Meals place just
5OO-4OO Rhode Island Reds and 100
Barred Plymouth Rocks. The latter
breed, as is we'll known, are famous
for the production of big, sweet-meated.
brown shelled eggs, and they are much
better property than most OF the trot-
ting horses owned in Maine.
On the Neal farm where aristocratic
biddies and ROSTERS are so numerous,
they have accommodation that are moth
ing short of luxurious, the buildings
having been constructed with every care
for poultry health and comfort. A new
hen house, 20 by 100, has recently been
completed, with open front, plenty of
light, the purest of water and all the
little comforts of hen home that a
thorough understanding of the business
prompt On the Neal farm they know
that it pays to pamper the biddies, hence
all this luxury and, also, just the right
quantities and kinds Of food-not hap
hazard feeding on refuse. Mr.. Neal I'M
derstands that the quality of eggs de-
ponds upon the diet of the hens that lay
them. Nothing wonderful in that know
ledge, but it seems to have escaped many
poultry farmers.
A new water system, supplying resi-
dence, hen house and stable, has just
been completed at the Neal farm, Gem
windmill on a forty-foot tower pumping
from a never-failing crystal spring into
an L. Oo-gallon tank in the upper part of
the house. They raised big crops of
mealy potatoes and lots of oats and other
things at Meals, but this story is about
hens. Bangor News.

not badly scared. 81 was too young to
realize the danger"
The next time that he was wrecked
was off Sandy Hook, five years later.
He was member of the crew of a little
schooner which sailed out of Baltimore.
The vessel was coal-laden and while
beating up toward the Hook was run in
to by another schooner and sunk. The
crew were rescued by the other schooner
and taken to Sandy Hook.
The wreck of the schooner "Persever-
ance'' was the third and last in which
Capt. Willard figured. This was 20
years ago before he took charge of the
Sawyer Loaded with stone he was
bound for New York when storm came
up when he was near Cape Ann. He
headed his schooner between Thatcher's
Island and Lunner ledge, hoping to make
Salem harbor, when he struck on ledge.
Il misjudged my distance" said the
captain. at was ebb tide and we were
obliged to lay where we were for three
hours. At flood tide the vessel left the
rocks but in SO doing unhung her rudder
and went back again on the same ledge.
Well, finally we were in deep water
again, but we went down before we got
half way to the island. We had to take

When Capt. Willard was p he mar

There were seven children from the mar
riage, six of whom are living. They are

Olaf Stanborn of Lynn; William, fore
man at the factory of the E. T. Burrowes
Co. of this city, and Mrs. Fannie Thomp-
son and Miss Addie Willard of South
Portland. The resemblance of Capt.
Willard to the Wartime President is
remarked upon by almost everyone who
knows the captain and in many of the
ports where he calls he is known as
Abraham Lincoln. - For the past two
years, Capt. Willard has been special
guest at the Lincoln club of this city at
its annual banquets and on each occasion
has been given a seat of honor at the
tables. q never met Lincoln, - he said,
but have always been an admirer OF
his and only wish that had met him. -

Schr. NJ. B. Stetson Lost.

GLOUCESTER, December 9. A tele-
gram was received here this morning an
nouncing the loss Of the schooner M. B..
Stetson of Bucksport, Me-, bound from
the latter port to Bay of Islands, N. F.
She was on sailed herring voyage
under command of Capt. McIsaac, and
during the heavy gale OF Monday last
was blown down the Straits of Belle Isle
on the west coast of Newfoundland and
was disabled. The Gloucester schooner
Patrician rescued the crew and landed
them at Bay of Islands. The vessel was
abandoned. She was driven by the force
of the gale about 40 miles beyond her
destination.
The Stetson was owned by Capt. Thorn
as Nicholson of Bucksport and had re-
Gently returned from successful cod
fishing voyage. She was 1913 tons gross,
was built at Essex in 1888 and was valued
with outfit at $4,000.
1t is feared that other fishing vessels
in that locality have suffered by the
storm.

A MORIBUND PARTY.

The Prohibition party is attracting
more attention since election than 1t did
before, because of the demonstration OF
it's utter supertluousness. Some OF Its
most prominent members have reached
the conclusion that it is time to discon-
tinue the farce of putting presidential
ticket in the field every four years, and
do their fighting within the big parties.
Enough is known to make it certain
that this party has made the poorest run
in it's history. The tendency in many
States upon which it depended to make
brilliant showing has been largely the
cause of its unprecented weakness.
Where the issue has appealed to the peo-
pie they have taken it up, but with the
general feeling that it is very poverty
stricken party that can present only
single issue, and so they have maintained
their old political 'alignments in order to
continued heir relations to other respon-
sibilities.
In the West and South the principle of
prohibition has taken marvellous hold
upon public opinion, and has been made
a feature of new legislation to surprls-
ing extent But coincident with this
movement the vote for the Prohibition
national ticket has greatly lessened.
There was large falling off in Ken
lucky, which is now dry with the excep--
ton of very few counties. Texas had
152 dry counties before the last election
and the temperance sentiment is grow
ing, but this year its prohibition vote
was merely nominal and far below the
showing when Texas was wide open.
Under existing conditions, then, 1t
would be fatuous for the Prohibitionists
longer to undertake to keep up their
national organization as a political fac
tor They have never been taken serl-
ously in that relation, and their CLAIMS
are fast nearing the point of absurdlty.
Should reaction from the present ten
denotes occur, as it is quite likely to,
they might be able to attract some notice
again in the way of organized protest,
but today their field is as barren as was
that of the Abolitionists after the Civil
War. If it is any consolation to them
they can make the claim that their per-
sistent agitation has brought this new
movement to a elimination, though SUCH
a claim would have little foundation.
The Prohibition party missed its great
psychological opportunity. Had 1t quilted
the field at the beginning of the recent
campaign, with sonorous proclamation
that it's work was accomplished and that
it's services were no longer needed, IL
could have retired with all the honors OF
it's protracted, even if not over-dignitied
war; but now it must haul down its colors,
having hardly enough adherents tor
respectable dress parade. 1t IS not the
CONSERVATION any longer OF even Its one
lone principle. It is simply in the way.
