NAMES SHAN OF PROHIBITION.

TO ROHIBITION in Maine has long been the joke of residents
E and visitors. The police records of Portland show more
arrests for drunkenness in a month than are recorded in
Newark in six months or a year, and Newark is the larger city.
Rear Admiral Robey d. Evans, retired, declares that he has had
more trouble over the drunkenness of sailors in the ports of Maine
than at any other port in the world. In Maine, as in all prohibition
States, the bulky malt beverages are excluded because of their size.
while the easily transported and concealed ardent spirits, much of
the same of a vile character, are readily traffcked in. The result
is as Admiral Evans describes and as the police records of Portland
show. Every election year the prohibition question comes up in
Maine politics, and it has served to keep inscriptions men in power
by obscuring important State questions. In that way the State has
suffered great injury, as well, also, in the loss of all public revenue
from licenses that would serve to tighten the burdens of tax on the
people.

Sir-What shall we do with our OK
presidents? One answer is make
them senators-at-large; that is. repre-
senting no one State. This would give
the country the benefit of experience
gained in it's service. and give the pub
lie servant still a special and honorable
field of duty, but If the alternative
must be a president-at-large, as at
present, another meaning of the term
is readily suggested-one implying dan
ger to the public. j. S. w.

A grand jury has indicted twenty-one
persons for murder in the first degree
in connection with the recent lynching
of a detective employed by the Anti
Saloon League in Newark, o. The city
officials are charged by the jury with
the cowardly abandonment of their
posts. No one can question the zeal of
this body of inquisitors, but 1t seems
that they have bitten off altogether
more than the machinery of the Law
can chew. 1t is one thing to indict a
large number of persons for an alleged
crime of his nature, and quite another
thing to convict them.

The government of the United states
must now put down an armed insurrec-
ton, the insurgents being natives OF
the province of Nueva Vizcaya, in the
island of Luzon. Since the Philippine
insurgents are unprotected by law and
public opinion and the season is al
ways open, so far as they are con-
cerned, the campaign against them
will be short, sharp and drastic. How
much more satisfaction there is to
be had in this sort of fighting thar
in that furnished by the battles of the
primaries. A lot of the animosity which
cannot be visited upon the insurgents
at home may now be taken out on u
insurging little brown brothers.

Wonderful as has been the growth In
population of New York city in the past
ten years, it is still a poor second to
London, the metropolis of the world.
Conditions in the tight little isle"
where nearly a half hundred million
persons are crowded into an area ap.
proximating that of New England, are
such that London would seem to be
reasonably sure of her laurels for some
years to come. 1t is difficult to under
stand why the Inhabitants Of New
York would want to see it grow larger
and more unwieldy, but the ability to
point with pride to the city of ones
birth or adoption as the largest city in
the world is painted for as though 1t
were the rarest of privileges.

TO capture the convention. line up q

support at certain strategic points.
According to the new order OF cam
didates Of which Blaiadell may be said
to be truly representative. the ancient
methods of campaigning must be rele-
gated and others Numerically opposite
used in their place. One Of the cardinal
rules of later-day candidates is to avoid
too great publicity early in the CAM
paign on the supposition that as soon
as candidate peeps UP over the horiz-
on too brazenly some fool killer" Is
going to land on him strong. AS long
as the candidate works quietly he can
get his own personality stamped on the
voter before the press notices picture
him at all.

WHAT IS HONESTLY

In the great reform wave which has
swept over the country since the life
insurance storm broke in New York and
the public began to call a spade by its
proper name-many ethical teachers
have been discussing public morals
with view to finding out exactly why
men are immoral
Wide differences OF opinion exist as
to exactly what honesty Is. Statements
which impress one group of men as lies
are not SO regarded by other men. Ed
ucation and environment change ideas
and ideals.
Practices which were regarded by
corporation leaders as legitimate a few
years ago are now in the outlaw class.
A writer, discussing this subject in
American Medicine, says:
| Within the last few years there has
been notable moral unrest among all
classes Of people. and the resulting in
vestigations in politics, railroad and in :
surance management, and countless
other fields Of activity have shown that
