reform the devil does lot of backing
before he turns tail and runs. But
what we want is to put the devil on
| the run, face forward; and nothing
but national Prohibition, in the
hands of its friends, will do that.
! In spite OF saloon anarchy, on the
inside and outside, local Prohibition
has proven marked success when
| 1t Is compared with any other
method of dealing with the saloon.
| Who says II Is success?
The people who have tried It; the
people. like cities in New England,
who have lived under it and vote
year after year to retain IT. the peo-
: pie like Maine, who try 1t for thirty
years and vote to put 1t in the consti-
tuition as the settled policy OF the
state by vote of three to one.
If 1t were the failure It is claimed
to be, the results would be the
worst where they have been the
longest afflicted, and the most unin-
,viting field from temperance stand
point would be the state of Maine.
We are entirely willing to put the re-
that state against the record of the
regulated saloons of Rochester and
let the facts answer for the failure
or success of Prohibition.
The good times and prosperity which
we are told follow in the wake OF

to the saloon.

All the county prisons in Maine re-

Of Maine. Ns
| One of two things must be true,
either Prohibition to a very con-
siderable extent prohibits, and in the
absence OF the saloon the people of
Maine are more sober and more pros
porous than their neiehbors, or Pro-
hibition results in increasing the con-
sumption OF drink, and because
Maine drinks more whisky and is
more drunken, she has more homes,
more schools. more money in the
bank, and fewer men in the poor
house and jail. So that In either
case Prohibition is a blessing to the
people.

hinder-legs of the one above It, In
this way as many as 10000 bees may
be clinging together, and yet they
hang so freely that a bee, even from
quite the center of the swarm, can
disengage herself from her neigh

OF the cluster whenever she wishes.
IF these bees were left to them

In and out every hour of the day;
some bringing materials to build new
houses. Others food and provisions to

all appears confusion and disorder

to do, and perfect order reigns over
the whole.
Bees prefer to work in the dark.
They are gifted with double sight,
