The prohibtory law of 1858 has always
remained on our statute books, with
amendments and notifications. 1t was
amended in 1859, and in 1862 our State
agency system, over which there has
been so much controversy, was estab-
lished. There is little question but that
the State agency law needs radical modi-
fications, but it is not my purpose to dis
cuss this phase of our law in these pa
pers. There We're more amendments to
the prohibitory law in 1863-4-5, and in
1867 the legislature passed the old State
constabulary law and Hon. Joshua N.
Nye, Past G. c. 7. of the Maine Good
Templars, was made State constable.
This law, which was very unpopular
among the people in general, was short
lived.
In 1867 Names gallant soldier and
hero of Little Round Top" on the IA
nous battlefield of Gettysburg, General
Joshua L. Chamberlain, was reelected
governor by the Republicans over Hon.
Eben F. Pillsbury, the Democratic can
didate, by only II 200 majority. Various
reasons were assigned at that time for
the large decrease in the Republican
vote, which l have not the space to quote
here; but there can be no question but
that Hon. Eben F. Pillsbury was one of
the ablest and most brilliant leaders the
Democratic party eyer had in Maine. He
resided in Augusta, was lawyer of great
ability, and as an orator was unsurpassed
in Maine and had few equals in the ma
ton. My father, who has always been
much interested in the temperance issue
as well as in all public questions, and who
bore arms for his country during the
Civil War, and was bitterly opposed to
Mr.. Pillsbury politically, tells me he was
one of the most eloquent political orators
in our State. In justice to Mr.. Pillsbury
| will state that he was not bitterly op-
posed to prohibition, as was the Hon.
Marcellus Emery of Bangor, one of the
ablest Democratic leaders Of the State
In the State campaign of 1869 temper
ance party appeared, headed by N. G.
Hichborn of Stockton as its candidate
for governor, and who polled nearly 5000
votes. Governor Chamberlain had said
in his message to the legislature in the
winter of 1869 that although drunken
ness was great evil, yet he thought
legislation upon what man shall eat
and drink was pretty strong assertion
IF State rights over those of the indi-
vidual. And good many of the more
radical temperance men of the State
thought that Gen. Chamberlain was not
entirely friendly to prohibition. Yet this
distinguished soldier of Maine in his Sec
md message to the legislature in the
winter Of 1870 said: '"That while the pro-
,ibitory law was somewhat in advance
# public opinion, yet the laws against
liquors were as well enforced
md obeyed as the laws against profanity,
heft, unchastity or MURDER
The Republican party nominated for
governor staunch defender of prohi-
,ition in the person of Hon. Sidney Per-
lam, Past G. c. T. of the Maine Good
Templars. In his inaugural address to
he legislature in the winter of 1871 he

79th Annual Convention to be held in

Institute of Instruction, which is the
oldest teachers organization in America,
as it was established in 1880, and is now
about to hold its 10Th annual convention,
July 9Th. 7th and 9Th. The organization
has done wisely in the choice Of Castine
for it's convention, as Castine is not only
one of the most beautiful of locations
from a refreshing and scenic point of
view but is of great historical interest as
well.
The program will be both practical and
inspirational, and will deal with subjects
Of vital interest to all interested in edu-
cation.
At the seventy-eig annual conven-
ton, held at Burlington, the report of the
COMMITTEE on the Affiliation of the New
England Educational Associations" was
adopted, and the executive officers were
instructed to carry out it's recommends
lions as far as they should find them pos
sible and advisable.
These recommendations are being we'll
received and substantial progress has
been made along this line with many of
the important associations of New Eng
land, so that at this date it seems prob
able that the meeting at Castine will see
the American Institute Of Instruction en-
tering the field Of its future usefulness.

A BIT OF ADVICE
First-Don't Delay. Second-Don't
Experiment.

If you suffer from backache: head
aches or dizzy spells; If you rest poor
1y and are languid in the morning; If
the kidney secretions are irregular
and unnatural in appearance. do not
delay. The kidneys are calling for
help. Slight symptoms of kidney
trouble are but fore-runners of more
serious complaints. They should be
given attention before it is too late.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure kidney
trouble. They are recommended by
thousands. Can Richmond residents
desire more convincing proof than the
statement of Richmond citizen who
says that the cure Doan's Kidney Pills
effected years ago has proven perman-
ent?
Mrs. Fred Heater. GOT N. Thir-
teenth Street, Richmond. Ind. says:
"Doan's Kidney Pills were used in my
family several years ago with the
best of results in a case of backache.
This remedy was procured at A. G..
Luken & Co.'S drug store and effected
complete cure. I publicly recon-
mended Doan's Kidney Pills in 1906
and at this time l have no hesitation
in confirming that statement"

As COLLECTOR FOR THE SIXTH
INDIANA DISTRICT AND IT Is
POSSIBLE HE WILL GET THE
PROMOTION.

indianapolis. March 26.-The story
has gone out that Elan Neal, internal
revenue collector for this district, has
been appointed Commissioner of In
ternal revenue for the government at a
salary of $4,000 a year, and it has
been printed as fact by numerous pa
pers throughout the state. The story
says that the appointment was made
at the recommendation of Senator Bev-
eridge, and one would think. to read
the story. that it was all settled. The
fact is, that nothing of the kind has
been done. 1t is true that there has
been some talk of Meals appointment
to that place, but nothing definite has
been announced. Meals term as in
ternal revenue collector for this dis
trict expires within the next few
months, and it is possible. Of course,
that he may be given the higher posi-
ton, but no such announcement has
been given out. Meals record as col
lector has been good, and there are
many friends Of his in this and other
states. who believe that he would make
q good commissioner.
Neal is one Of the several federal Of
flee holders in Indiana whose terms
will soon expire. and whose places will
have to be filled by Senator Bsveridge.
1t Is understood that the senator will
not make any re-appointments.
