PREACH GOSPEL OF HEALTH
Plan to Have One Sermon on Sunday,
April "a, Devoted to Scouree
of tuberculosis.

Following campaigns against con-
sumption that have been carried on in
the churches of hundreds of cities, and
sermons on tuberculosis that have
been preached before thousands of con-
gregations during the past year, a
movement has been started by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis to estab-
lish a permanent tuberculosis Sunday,
on which it is hoped that every one OF
the 100000 church-goers in the
United States will hear the gospel OF
health. This year the Sunday selected
is April "a. 1t is planned that on April
"a tuberculosis sermons shall be
preached in all the churches of the
country. Literature will be distributed
to members of the congregations, and
in every way an effort will be made to
teach that tuberculosis is dangerous
disease and that it can be prevented
and cured.
Clergymen who desire to obtain adj
ditional information in regard to tu-
berculosis will be able to secure litera-
ture from state and local anti-tubercu-
losis associations and boards of health.
as well as from the national asso-
citation.

about the Chinese in general and then left.
The Chinaman sgnaled to couple of men
across the street, who thereupon Swallowed the
college man to his hotel. 1t is not enough to
arrest smuggler; he must be taken at a
time and place that will uncover the contra
band goods that he happens to have on hand.
When the college man opened the door OF
his room In response to knock two men con-
fronted him. One Of them blocked the closing
of the door with his foot and the other reached
In and got the college man. Then they
searched his room and found the opium. which
was clearly contraband because II lacked the
stamp that Uncle Sam puts on the duty-paid
article.
The college man got term of years and
the Chinaman got his "moiety." "Moiety," In
this instance, Is what the court awards the
man who puts a smuggler and struggled goods
within the reach of the law. Its size depends
largely upon the value of the goods seized.
The courts are inclined to be generous, how
ever, and the 'moiety" for struggled opium
not infrequently has reached a thousand or
two thousand dollars.
The college man stuck to the business too
long. which is a failing of most smugglers 1t
is so easy at first that they think it will al
ways be just easy quite forgetting that
the dangers and difficulties increase with each
trip; for a man cannot cross the border often
without becoming an object of suspicion. So
Uncle Sam usually gets the smuggler in the
end, although IL occasionally happens that the
latter is frightened out of the business before
he is caught.
There Is case of Winnipeg man, for in
stance, who was member of firm that dealt
largely in opium. The Winnipeg sales were
not sufficient for this firm and, besides there
was something alluring In the price at which
opium could be sold on the other side of the
line. Men would cheerfully contract in Win
nipeg for opium at this price-if II could be
delivered in the United States--and the firm
went into the business of so delivering it.
The partner In question took charge Of this
detail of the business and he was most ingen
ious in his methods He made many "bus

of the line and this opium was shipped with

not directly. He is usually back of it.
The story of a sensational case at Seattle
will illustrate this. 1t relates to the days
when there was a big enough profit in opium
smuggling to warrant a wholesale business
before the reduction of duty made ii so much
of a one-man enterprise-and there was feet
of small boats operating in Puget sound Also
there was a United States inspector engaged
in the business. He reasoned that he was there
TO watch others but that there was one to
watch him, which is where he made his mis-
take. for he was caught one night in launch
with $4,000 worth of the stun.
Immediately there great excitement in
Chinatown. No Chinaman was on the launch,
but nevertheless Chinatown was so desper-
ately worried that some of the leading mer-
chants met in haste and put up the amount

thing. you know; he might uncover those be-
hind him-those who were putting up the
money and taking the opium 1t was much
better that they should lose both the opium
and the amount of the bond and that he should
have a chance to skip. They did lose both
and he did skip, but 1t is worth remembering
that he was brought back from Mexico some
time later He also stuck to the business too
long and Uncle Sam is tireless in pursuit
when he has evidence against an offender.

This is worth remembering in the case OF
the college youth. If his Vancouver friend had
suggested that he make expenses by cheating

would have been an immediate estrangement
and probably fight But to beat Uncle Sam
did not disturb his conscience in the least.
That was merely game an interesting game,
in which he matched his wits against the gov

easy that he did it again. Why go to the

36th CONVENTION OF
THE MAINE W. c, T. U.
Continued from Page One.)

England state and that Maine pro-
duces more teachers pro rata than
Massachusetts, speaks we'll for the
schools. The last report of the State
Board of Trade shows that the valua-
ton of Maine has increased $4,000
900 the last year; and this in cOnnec-
ton with the fact that every third
person in the State Including women
and children have a savings bank ac-
count, and the average amount in the
savings institution is $1S1.95 per cap
ita, does not betOken bankruptcy to
the State as some of the out of State
liquor people report.
Mr.. Peck of Wisconsin, who came
here representing Milwaukee, brewers
reported widely in the West and the
South that the people of Maine were
SO poor they were obliged to live
chiefly on potatoes and Goldfish and
that in many places business and en-
terprise were so stagnant that the
treets were grass grown. The thou
sands of tourists who come to Maine
in the grass season, leaving in the
State annually about $40, 900, 900 would
alone prevent condition such as Mr.
Peck claims to have found.
Maine Farmers Lead.
New York. New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania and the New England States are
classed together in the census volume
as the North Atlantic Division. The
census report shows that Maine
stands first in the prosperity of it's
farmers. More than "a per cent, of
them own their own farms, while up
ward of 81 per cent. own them with
out debt of any kind; Maine is less
favored by nature for farming advan-
tageS than many of the other states.
Since Maine enacted it's Prohibitory
Law it has more than multiplied it's
valuation by five, while neighboring
states have not multiplied theirs by
three. Every well informed. unpreju-
diced person will admit that Maine is
one of the most all around prosperous
States in the Union.
Prohibition Will Ee Upheld.
Resubmssion may be thrust upon the
State. If So there will be most i'm
portant campaign but the liquor fore
es will not win. Prohibition will be
upheld as it was in 1884, when it was
placed in the Constitution
Liquor selling like gambling is too
great and perplexing an evil to be
settled by local or county option and
to be brought before the voters at
each election to be voted up or voted
down. Local option is better than no
option, even as local prohibition is
better than no prohibition.
Notwithstanding the widespread cry
about the tariff and the high cost of
living. the greatest question before the
people today is What shall be done
with the liquor traffic ?" Maine Kan
sas. North Dakota, Oklahoma Ala
bama, Georgia, North Carolina, Missi-
sippi and Tennessee have outlawed
the sale and manufacture of alcoholic
beverages, and in addition to this up
wards of 30,000.000 people live in ter
ritory where the saloon is outlawed.
An automobile parade containing the
officers and the delegates will be a
feature of the convention Thursday
afternoon.
