Notes Of the Game.

SCOUT hitting was the batting fea-
ture for the Chebeague nine. The
morning game three hits with a total
Of six bases. three times at bat, were
recorded to his credit. which gave him
the highest possible average, while In
the afternoon game two singles In
three times at bat were made.
Thirty-fve runs to none Is going
some when a team has eighteen in
nings In which to score. This should
be considered as the worst kind OF a
whitewash for any nine on the dia-
mond.
During the eighth inning Of the
morning game the Irons held a batting
feast In which they secured nine hits
with total Of ten bases. That in
ming would have been enough to win
any ordinary game, but formed only
small part Of the heavy hitting OF the
game.
r. Ham scored every time at the bat
In the morning. This was one of the
extreme features Of the game, as he
made FIVE Of the twenty-three runs.
Walsh was In the box for the Irons
during the afternoon game, and
pitched well. Only three safe hits
were secured on his delivery. and two
OF those were made by Scott, tho high
est averaged man on the Chebeague
nine.
Capt. Hamilton made an unwise
move by removing Scott from the box
In the morning. Up to the fourth In.
ming, at which time he was replaced
by Bishop. q very few hits were made,
and the large number Of runs may be
laid to poor support In the field which
caused many errors.
The last inning Of the day came to a
close In most striking maner. Scott
In left field caught three flies from
the bats OF the Irons, which ended the
misery OF the Chebeague team.
The attendance at both games was
very large yet the collections were not
what should be expected.
No errors were made by the Irons IN
either Of the games, which showed
they were out for business all the
time.

THE SALOON AND
THE BISHOP

The Free Methodist is moved to in
dignation by the manner in which GER
tain clerical gentlemen have played into
the hands of the saloon. Quoting Bishop
Grafton, who is credited with partic-
ularly foolish and offensive defense of
drink, drinking and drinkselling, it says:
For illogical reasoning, and for al
most blasphemous statements concern
ing the Lord and his Son, it would
be difficult to find its equal He well
knows that the Lord Jesus never
turned that water into Intoxicating
wine. He is aware of the fact that
that which ferments by the processes
of nature is spoiled for use by that
fermentation He knows that Prohie-
bition laws can be enforced in every
community where their enforcement
does not depend upon rascally officials
who either love their rum or love the
money they obtain by refusing to do
their sworn duty. The trouble is not
with the law, but with the rotten poll

PROHIBITION IN NORTH
DAKOTA
Republican Paper Makes Careful
Statement of Situation After Twenty
Years of Trial -.
The Daily Herald Republican, of
Grand Forks, N. D., in answer to cor
respondent who inquiries concerning the
enforcement of the prohibitory law in
that state, makes dispassionate and
business-lke statement which is worthy
of careful consideration The Herald
says:
The absolute Prohibition of the sale
of liquor does not absolutely prevent
such SALE because the law is not uni
versally respected nor perfectly en-
forced. That this is true is not a
good argument against the Prohibi-
ton law, any more than it is against
any other law. To secure the enforce
ment of any law, or its observance by

voted to this purpose. Fears were en-
tertained by many that the enactment
of Prohibition law would cause many
of these locations to become and re-
main vacant This has not happened.
The saloons went, but other and bet
ter lines of business took their place.
And it has been so everywhere

feet of the stuff they have shipped
into Maine by means of bribery and
deliberate breach of the laws.
In the advertising in which this edi-
torial has appeared the liquor men have
been adding line which reads: "When
you Vote the saloon ont you vote the
Sbedk-edsy in" The North american
comments upon this line 1t calls it "a
proclamation of complete contempt for
any law" AS viewed in another light,
it reads it as a promise of the liquor in
terests of Pennsylvania to suppress the
unlawful resort, if the saloon shall be
allowed continued lease of life. Com
menting upon this promise it points to
the fact that the men who furnish the
money for this advertising know that
for years, while Philadelphia has had
large quota of legalized saloons, mora
than a thousand speak-easies and dives
have run openly every Sunday Sin VIC
lation of the city, the state, national and
moral law" Continuing this comment,
the North american says:
Year after year we aided D. Clar
ence Gibboney in gathering evidence
and in prosecuting hundreds of those
lawbreakers. We helped to convict
scores of the keepers of those lawless
dives. And as fast as we cleansed one
pest-ho1e the same men, who have
paid for this advertising and make this
implied pledge, backed other criminals
and opened new speak-easies.
We appealed to these same brewers
and distillers to withhold the sale Of
their goods from these dives. They
turned a deaf ear or jeered refusal to
every plea for decency.
Yet these same men are spending
thousands of dollars in this one week
to send broadcast promise not only
to Maine, but to every state, in the
name of their whole trade that if the
legal saloon be granted to them they
will obliterate the speak-easy.
What is the worth of their pledge?
Go look at the court records. Come
to us and let us show you the written
proof of how they broke faith with
this community. Their words are
smooth now But a dishonest past
forbids belief in present honesty. They
speak as they do, because for the first
time they are afraid.
The rule of all jurisprudence is that
he who seeks equity must do equity
and must come into court with clean
hands. He who asks to be believed
must not be one proved in the past
to be a falsiher and an accessory to
crime

THE SALOON THUG AND
THE VOTER

The Venamgo Daily Herald, reciting
some of the recent outrages of the liquor
raffic, arraigns the completely of the
respectable citizen Herewith, in the fol-
owing stirring fashion:
Will any license granted by Chris
tan judge make this thing right? Can
any such official wash his hands of
the bloody curse of the foul mother of
crime, which his authority turns upon
the people?
Will any plea of partizan loyalty ex
cuse from the criminal guilt of this
crime of crimes, this root and source
of curses and outrage, this consuming
fire of lust, violence and abonina
ton, the man who goes to the polls
and stamps with his approval the
party which does the devilish deed of
licensing the liquor traffic?
The racked and groaning body of
Mr. Bradley cries out for vengeance
on the liquor traffic of Pennsylvania.
And every Prohibitionist answers:
Here am I, send me-" What is the
answer of the other party, but this:
eco thy way for this time; and when
I have convenient season (when it
will not hurt my party) I will snlite
for thee"-what but this? -.
Do the people really stop to think
what the presence of saloons means
in this community? Can it be that
they know, that they realize what Ii
censing such institutions means? Is
it possible there is a self-respecting
man, in these days when party lines
mean nothing, who will allow the
fetch of party name to hold him
in partnership with the saloon?
What can we say, except this: The
next time you vote, by the light of
conscience, remember that the ballot,
whether it means anything else, or
not, means this: I now and herewith
declare for or against the continue
ton of the license policy for the curse
of curses and crime of crimes A bal
lot is either bloody or it is. clean.
Your conscience seals this statement
and you know it to be true.

ness on the part of the masses of the
people-not those of particular town
or village, but of the people at large
to be governed by that law, and
determination on their part to punish
violations of it. If laws were self-en-
forcing, if it were sufficient for the
state to say, "Be it enacted" we
would have little use for courts and
sheriffs and none whatever for jails
and penitentiaries. A law, to be eff
fective, must have the moral support
of the people at large, and sufficient
physical backing to make it operate
against those who would defy it. This
sort of support the Prohibition law
has in reasonable measure generally
throughout. North Dakota. There are
many communities in which the law
is surreptitiously evaded, and doubt
less there are still some in which it is
openly defed. But the latter are rap
idly decreasing in number, and the
open bar, where drinks are sold with
out question to whoever has the price,
is practically thing of the past.
AS to public sentiment in Grand
Forks it is safe to say that this senti-
ment is in accord with that in every
section of the state except the iso-
lated communities where there has as
yet been no real effort to enforce the
lava sentiment of appreciation Of
the law, and an earnest desire for it's
continued and better enforcement. AS
an indication of the change which has
come ever public sentiment since the
law was enacted may be cited the
statement of M. F. Murphy, of this
city, made at a recent meeting of the
Commercial Club. Mr.. Murphy is a
prominent business man who has lived
in the state for many years. He has
been a useful member Of the city
council and of the state senate. He is
now member of the state university
board. At the club meeting Mr.. Muir
ply said that when the Prohibition
law was under discussion in 1889 he
was opposed to it. He did not regard
it as practicable; he did not think that
it could be enforced; and he was con-
WINGED that it would deprive the state
and the municipalities of a great deal
of revenue without bringing about any
corresponding good. For this reason
he campaigned against it and voted
against it. After an experience of
nearly twenty years with it, and after
observing its operation in various sec
tons of the state he had found that
he had been mistaken, and he num-
bered himself as among the most earn
est advocates of the law He believed
that the state was vastly better off
morally and materially for its pas
sage, and he would get out and cam
paign for it as vigorously today as he
campaigned against it when the state
was admitted.
Under the head of benefits several
may be enumerated. The saloon is
generally recognized in this country
as a corrupter of youth. The Prohibi-
ton law has removed the saloon, as
such, from North Dakota Except in
the rare cases where communities
permit sale to operate openly the place
where liquor is sold is recognized as
place that is not respectable and it
is not considered GOOD morals or GOOD

SHAMELESS LAW

i he FnlldQelpHld NOItH American
Again Studies the Advertising of the
Drink Trade =.
The Philadelphia North american fol-
lows UP the remarkable editorial which
was quoted from its columns in this pa
per last week. with another, perhaps
equally remarkable. The later produc-
ton has for its text an editorial upon
the violation of the prohibitory law in
Maine which originally appeared in the
Daily Meas of Bangor and has been
widely published as advertising, by the
liquor interests in Pennsylvania and
elsewhere The North american quotes
the editorial, in large part, and says:
For sixty years Maine, as a Pro-
hibition state, has been subjected to
the continuous assaults of the liquor
interests. Their plan has been to de-
bauch the state, if it could be done.
They have stinted no money in con-
centrating their attack upon the towns.
They have used their money to be-
come a potent factor in local politics.
They have corralled and now control
the organization of both parties in
many communities. They have pur-
chased protection. They have bought
the privilege of defying and discred.
iting the law and the will of the ma
jority of the people.
And now, instead of trying to
hide the evidence of their offenses,
they proclaim it, they exhibit it to
the WHOLE public and faunt it in thci.
advertisements, not only in the face of
Maine, but before the entire American
people.
Maine is made the mark, because
the liquor dealers best argument is
that Prohibition does not prohibit.
And to supply that argument they
balk at no unlawful act which will pre-
vent the honest enforcement OF the
law
In their endeavor to prove that their
trade cannot be regulated, they make
the open boast that they have broken
down the law; they have overridden
and annulled the will of common
wealth, expressed at the polls; they
have forced their Struggled goods into
communities in defiance of the stat
utes, and by destroying local self
government have made the evils of
which they now make their brag.
In trying to make this point, see
what they say. They call upon all
good men and women to witness "the
sodden faces" and "the lack-luster
eyes," the derelicts that Teamed
against walls or tackled interminably
and senselessly" through the streets.
1t is no local option advocate who
paints this picture. This description
of the diseased drunkard is not an ex-
tract from a sermon by some extreme
Prohibitionist. 1t is quoted directly
from the costly advertisement of the
brewers and distillers.
Yet we can scarcely think that they
intended their readers to believe that
such wreckage of manhood is due to
Prohibition, abstinence or any form
of legalized temperance. Somewhat
strange strategy, surely, to call upon
the whole country to observe the eff
