DIRECT PRIMARY POPULAR.
Saratoga Convention Gave Reform
Measure a Big Boost.

Christopher NJ. Gallup, a local rep
resentatiye of the Direct Primary
League of Maine, secured the tiftieth
signature to the initiative petition
which he has been circulating, We'd
nesday, and forwarded the document
to President Howard Davies Of Port
land. The dramatic events of the Re-
publican convention at Saratoga made
the securing of names since that date
very easy. Everybody seems to know
what the direct primary is, and to
feel sure that he wants it for Maine.
The cenyass will be continued until
the necessary 1000 names have been
secured and then the petitions will be
fled with the secretary of State. Tn
der the recent amendment to the con-
stitution the Legislature must then
enact the proposed bill into law. or

Alfalfa. the plant that has lifted

cred Sunday growing wild on Water
street right in the heart OF Skowhe-
gan. The little plot of ground along
the west side OF the railroad track
and south OF the street contains quite
lot of 1t. Enough to prove that the
soil and the climate here are both
favorable There are plants of ali
sizes, indicating that the older ones
have produced the seed from which
the younger sprang. The original
seed probably came with baled hay
from the west. since the larger plants
are nearest the railroad track.
For feeding stock a ton of good al
falfa hay is equivalent to ton OF
wheat bran. and wheat bran is now
retailing around thirty dollars per
ton. One acre we'll seeded will pro
duce three crops each year in the lati-
tude of Maine. and one ton OF dried
hay per cutting is a small yield, One
good seeding will last from ten to
twenty years. so that a farmer with
thirty or forty acres we'll seeded has
something pretty nearly as good as
government bonds running up into
five figures.

REPORT OF DIRECTORS.

The report of the board of directors
of the Maine Baptist Education society
was presented by the secretary, Rev.
George Merriam of Skowhegan, as
follows:
The independent-reporter., 1910-10-13

The report was followed by a spirit
ed temperance address by Rev c. f.
Owen, ID. D.. representing the Chris
tan Civic League. He said in open
ing that in this question four classes
were to be dealt with: Those who
positively want the liquor traffic abol-
ished; those who positively want the
liquor traffic regulated by license and
local option; those who don't care
and the liquor dealers The first class,
he declared. want prohibition because
they believe it to be right and that
under it the State would be safer,
saner and more prosperous State.
They also want it for the sake Of the
great prohibition wave that Is sweep
ing over the country for they feel
that for Maine to take a backward
step when Representatives will go to
Washington from the South that favor
prohibition would be backward step
that would greatly injure the cause of
temperance.
he second class want the traffic
regulated because they want better
liquors for our men and boys to drink,
80 lHby say 1 utA HaliL itSpt' NdbA'
places to drink il in instead of dens.
They would have our men and boys
drink good liquors in peace and COM
fort and good men to do as good
liquor business as possible that shall
be as decent and respectable as
preaching or farming. and they would
have the saloon men to help pay our
taxes.
The third class don't care. They are
Indifferent and it Is this class that we
want to win over to the cause which
the first class is confident is right.
There is danger that so many of this
third class will unite with the second
and fourth classes when the contest
comes as to make the result close.
And right here you want to remember
that this contest will take place be
fore the Maine Baptist Missionary
Convention holds its next annual
meeting. The election upon which
this question is to be voted upon, II

NIT. will be held in September, 1911.
not in September 1912.
The liquor dealers. the brewers, dis
tillers, wholesalers and retailers OF
the whole country desire protection
for the liquor traffic because 1t gives
them advantages. The law will help
them collect their bills and show their
goods and give them legal status.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Complaint
against the flour rate from Glen Elder,
Kan, to New Orleans was filed with
the interstate commerce commission
Thursday by the Kansas City Railroad
Commission. The Kansas City organi-
zation alleges that the rate is so dis
eliminating that the firm of F. M.
Kaul & Sons is being shut out of busi-
ness with foreign countries which
heretofore they enjoyed through the
port of New Orleans. The Kansas
commission asks that a rate of
2S cents per hundred weight be de-

tain and the Texas and Pacific on jan

complain that Glen Elder gets less

MAIL CARRIER WAS
Held Up With GUN

New Orleans, La, Sept. 24.-Joe
Williams, a diminutive negro, pleaded
guilty before United States Commits
sioner Henri Chiapella, Friday morn
ing, to the charge of assault and rob-
berry on George Pichon, mail car
rier, and was committed to the higher
court under bond of $3.50.
The charge against Williams was
preferred by R. H. Wood, postmaster
at Bonfouca, La. The negro is said
to have held up Pichon at the point OF
a pistol and robbed him of % cents
and a pocket knife. 1t is alleged that
at the time of the robbery Pichon was
performing his duties as mail carrier,
hence the charges in the federal
courts.
