A Broadside From the Rum Trust.

Edward Stats Luther Of q William
street, New York. is offering the Aaihe
newspapers whole pages of interesting
matter free Of charge. 1t is not Simply
CODY which he offers, but mats or
plates for entire pages, including ooth
type and cuts, and the only expense
to the Maine newspaper is that the
express charge shall be paid at TINS
end. Anyway, this is the offer which
Mr.. Luther makes this paper, anu pre-
sunably he is dealing with equal
generosity with other Maine news
papers. The subject matter OF the
mage in question is made up of bitter
attack upon the prohibition laws of
Maine and so we leave it to the intel
,ieent reader to judge whether Mr..
Luther is a philanthropist and is in
this business for his health or whether
The bills are paid by interests which
would profit if the liquor traffic were
not under legal ban in this state.
The advance sheet Of the page which
Mr.. Luther has submitted for inspec-
ton is full Of such glazing mistakes.
such absurd exaggerations and such
unqualified misstatements that it in
dcates plainly the desperation to
which the rum interests are being
driven by the prohibition wave which
is sweeping over the country. We can
hardly give space to the whole page
which Mr.. Luther freely places at our
disposal, but we will give below a few
sample extracts. They speak for the
whole and are of such a nature that
they need no comment.
