while at San Francisco distance and cost
would make the attendance composed
chiefly of the idle rich. They are not
sufficiently numerous to make EXPOSE
tions successful. ~
Because the climate of New Orleans
in winter is milder than that of San
Francisco in summer. and less oppres-
sive in summer than that of New York,
Cincinnati, Philadelphia or St. Louis.
In the latter mentioned cities successful
expositions have been held in mid-sum-
mer.
Because it is time the South should be
given the opportunity to demonstrate
her capacity once more to handle situa-
tons of the first magnitude.
Mr.. Editor, can you not help us in this
contest? The legislature of your State
meets January 4, 1911. May we ask you
to urge that body to signalize its friend
ship for our people by making the adop-
ton OF resolution endorsing New Or.
leans and requesting the senators and
congressman from Maine to support that
city as the location for the exposition?
Sincerely thanking you in advance for
your efforts in this behalf, beg to re-
main, Yours fraternally,
w. C. CHEvIs.

Help Your Public Library.

Here are a few suggestions, says
panion for January. "You have a guam
tlty of old magazines; some rainy after
noon have clipping bee, get the chill
dren to cut out the pictures, leaving the
name, another day mount them on heavy
paper OF a uniform size and give them
to the library to loan to the schools.
Postcards are also most valuable
and have filled many a gap; think of the
library, if you have any of interest.
eff you can tell stories to children,
offer your services to the librarian; that
will create a new interest
ut is the same way if you have any
special collections, such as etchings,
prints, photographs, book-plates, china,
or old fashion-plates which are now
stored away. Offer to loan them to the
library and be there one or two after
moons to explain them to the casual
passer-by or to persons interested. If
you have garden or a greenhouse,
remember the library, for nothing adds
so much to the friendliness of the place
as flowers.
IF you haven't thought of the matter
before, remember it is your library, and
the more you use it the greater chance
it will have to prove it's usefulness and
Importance to the general welfare and
uplift of the communitv.'

manners andsmethods of the stump to an
arena where courtesy and Cancellation are
required Mr.. Hale knows the conven-
tions, and obeys them-no man better.
He is going out, and his friend is coming
in. He who is about to die salutes the
one who will take his place. He has of
course no other thought but courtesy and
neighborllness.
And when Mr.. Hale has departed and
the new man taken hold, the latter's
personal relations with his Republican
colleagues will of course be cordial. He
and Mr. Frye, though of opposite politi-
cal parties, will find much of interest to
Maine to bring them together. And both
will stand for Maine every time. 1t will
only be on political questions proper that
they will divide.
The war, for season, is over. Mr..
Cannon and "Cannonism" were good
targets while the war was on; but now
that the drums are silent and the battle
clouds have lifted-or words to that eff
fect-it is the caper to be pleasant. Mr..
Clark expresses the hope publicly that
when he retires from the Speakership he
may enjoy as much personal respect and
good will as "Uncle Joe." Which shows
that there are two Cannons one for pub
LEGATION and campaign purposes, and the
other for true feeling and good faith.
While the thunders rolled during Sep
TENDER and October, Mr.. Tawney was
often lambasted. Though defeated for
denomination, he survived for campaign
purposes. Now there is Democratic
boom for him for the Presidents best
favor. His defeat is lamented as a ma
tional misfortune.
A Democratic Senator from Maine will
be a novelty, but the holder of the COM
mission will not have novel experience.
He will find himself in an assembly where
good feeling between men of opposite
parties is not only the rule of conduct,
but essential to success. Washington

On the Route to the Canal.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. If
business man of Portland, we shall
say, should set out to visit the Panama
Canal, the route he would be most likely
to take would be by rail to New Orleans,
from thence by steamship to the lsthmus.
By that route the distance would be, in
round numbers, l. 720 miles to New Or
leans and 1880. miles from that city to
Colon; an aggregate of 800 miles.
Should he undertake to make the journey
via San Francisco, the distance would be
$500 miles by rail to San Francisco and
$500 miles by steamship to Panama;
aggregating 1000 miles. The saving by
way of New Orleans would be 5000
miles, the distance by San Francisco be-
ing more than twice as long.
This tells the whole story why an ex-
position intended to celebrate the COM
pletion of the Panama Canal should be
held in New Orleans. Briefly, when the
man from Maine comes to New Orleans
he is travelling in the direction of the
canal; when he journeys to San Fran
cisco he is going away from the canal.
In spite of all that has been said to
the contrary, the American people are
fond of attending expositions and the
great shows that have been held in diff
ferent parts of the country have per-
formed an educational service of meal
culable value to the people. We need
another one to introduce the nations of
the earth to the Panama Canal, and to
emphasize the inestimable Importance
of that triumph of American engineer
ing science, genius and courage.
And it should be held at New Orleans.
Why? Because that city is nearer to
the canal than any other great seaport,
because New Orleans is nearer to the
center of the country's population by
2, 900 miles than her California COMPETE
tor is.
Because New Orleans commands the
gateway between the mighty valley of
the Mississippi and the Panama Canal.
Because New Orleans steamships make
the voyage to Colon in four and half
days, while the San Francisco steamers
make the distance in twenty-one days.
Because at New Orleans the people
would visit it and it would be success;

MR.. HALE AND HIS SUCCESSOR

That is an amusing story which comes
out OF Maine respecting a compliment
Mr.: Hale recently paid the Democratic
leader who is likely to succeed him in the
senate. The Senator praised the mans
a6illty and character, and said it would
ai1ord MIN much pleasure to introduce
his successor to his friends. At this, we
are told, some of the Maine Democrats
arched their eyebrows, and wondered if
Mr. Hale was setting trap for the new
man. with the view of influencing his
course in the Senate.

There are some little naval episodes, one
Of which | will relate, in which one
American naval officer was more than a
match for four Britishers, and in a COM
bat with them single-handed managed to
floor them all. 1t was this way: During
our war with Mexico several of our ships
of war, together with British ships, were
laying at anchor at the Belize, British
Honduras. One of our ships was COM
manded by Captain Gregory, who had an
invitation to dine on board one Of the
British ships on certain day in the near
future. Now Captain Gregory knew that
the officers on board that ship had the
reputation of being very hard drinkers,
and he also knew that this invitation was
for the purpose of landing him under the
dinner table during the banquet. He
knew also that in order for him to keep
his head and legs during that struggle he
must use strategy. Be it known that at
that time it was the style for the officers
of the American navy to wear about
their necks as cravat very high stock,
made of stiff buckram and covered with
silk or satin and quilted, and so high that
it required two buckles to secure it in
the back of the neck. This stock, and

UP TO The PEOPLE.
To Say Whether the State Shall Have Saloon,
After 1914.

The question as to whether
splrituous liquors shall be man
ufactured or sold in West Virgin
is now up to the people of the
state and they will vote upon the
matter at the next general cleo
ton in 1912. The submission of
the prohibition amendment to
the state constitution prohibiting
the manufacturing and sale of
liquors has been passed by the
legislature, the house acting
tavorably upon the senate resolu-
ton. If statewide prohibition is
adopted by the people it will be-
come effective the first of July,
1914.
AS many people are Of differ
ent opinions as to what the re-
suit will be since the amendment
has been passed by the legisla-
ture and some do not under
stand it, we give the procedure
that will be followed since the
action of the legislature.
At the next general election
November, 1912, the voter will
be given a separate ballot. On
this ballot will be printed the
amendment passed by the legis-
lature. Under the amendment
will be printed For Ratifica-
ton" and Against Ratifca-
ton.
Those desiring to vote for pro
hibition will mark *" in front
of the line For Ratification" and
those desiring to vote against
prohibition will place their mark
in front of Against Ratifca-
ton"
To adopt the amendment it will
require a majority in favor of its
passage Of the votes cast upon
the amendment. Many may not
vote either way on the amend
ment and it will not require q
majority cast in the state. only q
m ajority Of those voting on this
one proposition.
If the amendment carries, pro
hibition will become effective
July l, 1914. The manufacture
of spurious liquors will be pro-
hibited as well as the sale.
1t will then be up to the next
Legislature Of West Virginia to
reenact the state license laws
that they may conform with the
order of things. The laws re.
lating to the sale Of liquor will be
dropped and laws passed fixino
penalties for violations and re.
gulating the sale of liquors by
druggists for medicinal purposes.
If prohibition is adopted by the
voters and if at some date after
it becomes effective its opponents
desire to get back licensed
saloons they must make an effort
to secure a repeal of the amend
ment and the same procedure
would have to be gone through
again. 1t would be necessary
for those against it to secure a
two-thirds vote of each the
house and the senate in favor of
resolutionto submit the repeal
OF thetamendment. 1t would
then require a majority Of citi-
