EFFICACY OF PRoHIBIToRY LAW

LEWISTON is still combating
the prohibition wave. The Tel
Ter argues that the cause Of
temperance is growing mainly
through public opinion and least
OF all through prohibitory laws,
and bases this conclusion on the
fact that it is becoming more
and more recognized that the
brilliant mind added with liquor
cannot compete with the sober
minded man with all his wits
about him, and railroad com
panies and other corporations,
knowing this, refuse to employ
men who cannot control their
drinking habits. All this, the
Teller points out, is tending to
promote the cause OF temper
ance by making it impossible for
the tippler to steady employ
ment or to rise in his business or
profession. All this is true. 1t
il good us far as it goes. But
the Teller is wrong in its con
clusion that prohibitory law is
doing the least to help the
growth OF the temperance cause
Why do nine of the states
have absolute prohibition and
all but five have prohibitory law
OF some kind? Ii these laws
have little or no effect on the
amount OF liquor consumed why
Are they not repealed, and why
indeed, do the liquor interests
ii ght SO hard to have them re-
pealed and to check their adop.
ton in other states? As a mat

having some difficulty in bringing L.
W. w. speakers to understand that
they have no right to obstruct the
streets by harranguing people on the
crowded thoroughfares. Some who
defed the law were arrested Tuesday.
They had been ordered to use build

to get the people to come to them, it
is claimed they persisted IN speaking
where the crowds were passing.

 0, Lord, another day has come,
 And we, a lonely band, Are met once more before thy throne
 To bless thy fostering hand. And wilt thou bend listening ear
 10 praises LOW aS ours. Thou wilt for thou dost love to hear
 The song which meekness poars. And Jesus thou thy smiles wilt deign, As We before thee pray, For thou didst bless the infant train, And we are less than they. Oh, let thy grace perform its part, And let contention cease, And shed abroad in every heart Thine everlasting peace. Thus chastened, cleansed entirely thine A flock, by Jesus led, The sun of holiness shall shine In glory on our heads. And thou wilt guide our wandering And thou wilt bless our way, Till worlds shall fade and faith shall greet The dawn of another anniversary wedding day. There followed an exhibition sword  drill. by master Clayton Smalling, aged five years, a grandchild, which was very entertaining. MT.

The present debt of the city as shown by the report is as follows: State i'm provement bonds, $40, 1000; less sinking 1 fund account of s9, ,504 10, or $50, ,49o.50, Reduction ia Csty Debf Before going further l wish to men, tion that while no department that needed improvement was stinted financially, the foregoing report shows a reduction of the city debt, ia result for which wish to sincerely thank my associates in charge of the different governmental departments for their able and economical management of affairs.
 The agreement entered into in 1905 between the city of Putnam and the New York, New sHaven and Hartford railroad relative to the new station, South Main street extension and Front street bridge improvement, and for which the city voted to pay the sum of S20,O00, is settled, both parties having complied with the terms of the lcon- tract.
 Harmonious Cooperation
 To the members of the honorable common council l wish to say that at the beginning of the present year, on accepting office, 1 made request that you put aside partisan feeling when considering all matters that might come before you for consideration. l take this occasion to personally and sincerely thank you for the manner in which you have aceeded to my request.
 l also welcome the newly elected members and trust that you will act in the same impartial way as your prede- cessors. While it is my wish to be as brief as possible, there Bare certain rec concentrations that I feel are of such vital importance that l wish to bring them before you for consideration.
 .Sescdge Improvement Needed
 First, the installation of an adequate sewerage to carry off the filth that is now polluting the surface water drain that runs through our city streets. The condition is such that unless some thing is ldone speedily for betterment an epidemic is liable to ensue, there being between forty and fifty connec- tions, including toilets, sinks, etc., ,inow emptying into this drain.
 rnDnid Inyes shoftfd Dc collected
 Second, recommend that .action be taken relative to the collection of un- paid taxes. The committee appointed to look the matter up will submit re- port al the next meeting. trust you will be ready to give this matter grave consideration in order that the books may Joe cleared up. For some time there has been some very disquieting rnmors afioaf :as to the irregularity of the assessed valuation on our grand list.
 Tar List ssosttd be Ps.tfisasd
 Therefore, I recommend that the tax list be published in the annual report of the city in order that the taxpayers, who should know the conditions. may have an opportunity to see for them selves.
 Lookup fa Poor Condition
 The accommodations and sanitary conditions, for lack of ventilation Of the lookup, in the Central hlock, are
Putnam patriot., 1909-01-08

such that would advise the common council to take speedy action to have il remedied or find better quarters.
 Police Changes Mistake
 There is clause in our charter which provides for the changing of the entire police department every two years. This, according to my mind, Is mistake, not in accord with the growth of the city or the spirit of the times. Iyeald recommend the honor able common council to petition the legislature for an amendment of the charter with the idea of eliminating our police force from politics and that i appointees hold office during efficiency and good behavior.
 l wish to thank and compliment the actingt thief of Police for the able man ner in which he has enforced the ordi- nance relative to pedlers, hawkers junk dealers, etc., making a material benefit to the city of over $500. l wish to thank the representative of our local newspaper who has regularly attended our meetings, for the impar- i tial manner in whichtthe proceedings were reported, and recommend that better desk service be provided for rep resentatives of the press. also invite the public to be present when our meetings are held.
 JOIN l. McGaRRy, Mayor. l After the message was read theCoun' cil elected the following officers. 1 President of the Council, l., E. Smith, l City Engineer, r. W. Wright.
