HAS BEEN DRY FOR

Saturday, Maine Passed Six

Its Prohi History.

tNational News Association
AUGUSTA, Nc, Aug 5.-Sixty-five
years ago today the Democratic legis-
lature of the State of Maine enacted
the first prohibition law against the
liquor traffic, thus setting an example
Of statewide prohibition which was
not intended by other commonwealth
| until many years later. In another
month, on September II of this year
at a general election, the voters oil
Maine will be called upon to decide
| whether statewide prohibition, which
has been statutory from 1884 and con
sttutional ever since, shall remain
part of the States constitution or not
! Since the State of Maine enacted
the first prohibition law, prohibition
has made tremendous strides. The
movement is no longer state or even
national movement, but has assumed
an international character. In many
countries throughout the world the
war against the liquor traffic has been
taken up and the prohibition move
ment has met with varying degrees
of success. For this reason the battle
which Is now being fought in this
State is attracting worldwide atten
| ton. Maine was the pioneer of the
prohibition movement and maintained
statewide prohibition continuously
longer than any other commonwealth
in the world. 1t is quite natural, there
fore, that the coming election is await
ed with the most intense interest
| throughout the world. -
1t is generally admitted by friends
| of prohibition in and outside the
State, that great deal depends upon
the outcome of the coming election. In
fact, it is believed that the result OF
the vote will be of the most vital in
fluence upon the future of the prohi
bition movement. If the majority OF
| the voters in Maine should decide by
their vote that constitutional prohibi
ton, after test of 81 years, was
found by them unfeasible or undesir
able, this decision would mean a Sc
we're blow to the hopes of the friends
of prohibition who, for years, have
been working, inspired by the thought
that some day all nations would com
bine in suppressing the liquor traffic
The campaign now in progress in
this State and which will continue fol
another month, until the last vote
shall have been cast at the coming
election, began practically immediate
ly after the election in September OF
last year, when it became certain
that a Democratic legislature had
been elected, believed to be pledged
to vote for re-submission of the pro
hibition clause of the Constitution
People outside of this State cannot i'm
agine how bitter and desperate is the
fight between the prohibition and the
| anti-prohibition factions in this State
The campaign was begun by the pro
hibitionists with rush and steadily
increased in vigo- and bitterness and

Dreams or Senit:s.


An interesting book might be written
on the subject Of the dreams of genius
Stevenson maintained that much of his
work was only partially original. His
collaborators were the brownies who
ran riot through his brain during the
hours Of sleep. He instances the case
of DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" II had
long been trying to write a story on
this subject" he writes, ito find a

of mans double being which must at
times come in upon and overwhelm the
mind of every thinking creature. For
two days l went about racking my
brains for a plot of any sort, and on
the second night dreamed the scene
at the window and q scene afterward
split in two, in which Hyde, pursued
for some crime, took the powder and
underwent the change in the presence
of his pursuers. All the rest was

there is every reason to believe that
the remaining month will witness a
campaign in this State. unparalleled
in Rerceness in the history of political
fights.
So far the prohibitionists have been
theaggressors. As early as October Is

is rather strong language, but it is a
fair sample of the language used by
the prohibitionists in the present
campaign. Everywhere their cry is
Rum against Righteousness"
Even the opponents of prohibition
are forced to admit that the prohihi.
tionists are remarkably we'll organized
and are putting up great fight. The
leader of the prohibition campaign is a
woman, Mrs. l.. NJ. N. Sevens, national
president Of the w. G. +. u. She is a
Maine woman and a resident of Port.
land. She has fought for prohibition
many years, but she regards the pres
ent contest as the greatest battle OF
her life.
Under her direction the whole State
was flooded with campaign literature
of the most vigorous nature. She en-.
listed the churches, the Sunday
schools, the children and women to
fight for prohibition and brought
speakers from all parts of the United
States and even from Europe, where
prohibition has many staunch support.
ers.
The anti-prohibition campaign il
conducted by the Maine Non-Partisan
Local Self-Government League, which
is composed of men of high standing
and has enlisted the support of four
leading newspapers in the State. The
work of the league is carried on sys,
and thoroughly, but with
little noice.

The Columbus water works plant is
owned by the city and consequently
the rates are much lower than those
OF other cities. For this reason, of
course. the city Of Columbus pays no

proves that Columbus is profiting by
municipal ownership of the water
