From the beginning. she
said. 1--WE realized that one of the
chief dangers lay ia the fact that
the people of Maine did not know
. the iaugcrs of the licensed saloon.
They had no conception of what
% saloon really is and they under
estimated the power OF the liquor
forces in the land. The success of
prohibition in Maine has caused
many people 10 fall into state of
Indifference with little realization
of the benefits they were enjoy
ing.
II trust that this convention
will endorse the proposition con
tanned in the proclamation of Sep
TENDER 10th and will work for its
leading provision-National Con
stitutional Prohibition
Upon the converting Of Con
gress, Congressman HObson will
introduce a bill for submitting an
amendment for national constitu-
tional prohibition and will give 10
the measure his hearty active sup
port. ! trust that thas measure
will receive the cooperation of
the Men and Religion Forward
Movement and that they will pro-
claim national prohibition a fun
damental remedy for the political
industrial and social unrest of the
day.

~ n common with the great
majority of the thoughtful peo-
pie interested in the pure food
movement, we are much gratified
that DIR. Wiley, the head Of the
bureau of Chemistry has received
the presidents exoneration off
cially. II is coincident that
while expressing satisfaction at
the retention of DR.. Wiley, we are
also expressing most emphatically
our dissatisfaction that Secretary
a." remains a member o. he
Uni,, States Cabinet. On first

lie that Secretary Viii
