Facts They Cannot DODGE.

After all is said on the question IL
is for the voters of Maine to decide
whether they want conditions as they
have been in the past. with prospect
of much. better epforeemo mt of the law.
or a condition of more liquor.
There is no way for the rummies to
dodge the fact that they would not be
making such desperate fight for the
control of Maine if there we're not
more sales in prospect, more income
from the trade, under some license
plan.
Even should we admit that present
violators would be put out of business.
liquor dealers would get all the first
profits as they do now. Then why do
they desire a change unless they ex
poet larger sales?
One argument of the liquor inter
ests is that only impure liquors are to
be had of violators of the prohbitory
law. Isn't there as much profit in bad
liquors as there is in good? In either
case. why are the beer trust and
whisky trust pouring hundreds of
thousands of dollars into Maine to
change its laws--unless sales are to
Increase
Think it over. Do you wish to see
any more liquor put out in Maine than
under the present violation of law plan
which is being SO fiercely denounced
by the liquor interests and their al
lies?
Do YOU wish to see liquors in the
store windows as you now see canned
goods? Do you want a saloon next to
your home or your place of business?
Do you wish to have a business
which you abhor Haunted brazenIy un-
der your nose as legal institution of
your town or city?
If the rum trust can afford to sink
millions ia cash to obtain control of
Maine. and then pay license fees in
towns snds Cities they must feel con-
ffdent of taking out many millions in
return. Have we any millions to
spare for luxury that DESTROYS
homes and robs human beings of
souls?
Give it little thought. and then
wake up from your apathy and DO
SOMETHING to aid the cause of pro-
hibition and Temperance Preach a
little sound sense into your wavering
neighbor. Point out to your own or
your neighbours son, or YOUR OWN or
YOUR NEIGHBoR'S FATHER the
awful folly of encouraging lntemper-
ance.

1T costs the city of Baltimore
$40, 600. 600 to save $1.000,000 in Ii
cense fees Baltimore is blazing
the way for Maine to follow.
Other high license cities and
states are making big gains in
that way and Maine is anxious to
be in the swim, so they say.
Seeing the prosperity of those
states that haven't prohibition in
the constitution" it gives poor
old Maine nervous prostration to
be so@feft in the rear.
our great ones claim that 1t is
not license, local option, nor free
rum for which they struggle and
strain but just to loosen things
and cut the bonds that bind the
law to the constitution" They
are looking forward to a more
satisfactory state of affairs. if they
may be believed and we have no
special reason to disbelieve them.
But we confess to feeling of
doubt of those whose company
they keep-the sellers and drink
ers and buns Are they. too,
looking with single eye to the in
terest of society at large? Well.
hardly. Possibly it may be
another case of the wheat and the
tares, the oats and the mustard,
only it is rather more difficult to
distinguish the difference with the
naked eye. OF course there is a
difference but 1t doth not yet ap-
pear. We have heard it intimated
that 1t is difficult for two to walk
together except they be agreed.
That must be a mistake. Arm in
arm they march to the polling
place together and agree on Yes"
but from different motives. so It's
claimed.
When prohibition is eliminated
hypocrisy all over Maine will die
natural death and there will be a
large class of that sort shedding
their packs and flocking to the
kingdom. The constitution of the
kingdom quite likely will not be
changed SO as to conform to the
rectided constitution of Maine.
The report has come to us that
the lid" has ben slammed shut

If the lid can be shut three months
we see no good and sufficient rea-

eternity is we'll on its way.
The thought has often come to
us that some of our leading poll

Puts II Up to PIaisted and PattanaalI,
Two days before election in Maine
last fall. a special election edition of
the Boston American was sent into the
Pine Tree State by the ton. Demo-
cratic committees distributed them in
automobiles and otherwise, on Sun
day. The mails were flooded with
them.
The Boston American figured large
~ in the election of the present incum-
bents. From portion of an edi-
torial published in the American on
Thursday we ask our readers to de-
eide If the Boston Democratic organ is
proud of its accomplishments in Maine
politics.
Does the Boston American wish to
make plain that under Democratic
violation of oath, conditions are as bad
in two of Names largest cities as they
are in Boston?
Does the Boston American wish to
show its thousands of readers that. in
addition to the ordinary hidden viola
ton of law in prohibition territory. in
Maine there now exists all the de-
pforable conditions of license with
the Democratic officials which it helped
elect, accepting the price of their
oaths in rum trust dollars?
The Boston American emphasizes the
declaration that in Portland its repre-
sentative found so bars "as open as
any in Boston, 1t makes strong the
fact that the Democratic officials.

STANDARDIZATION AND HYPOCRISY


Congress came to end by constitution
al limitation at noon on March fourth.
1t is well that it has passed into obliv-
ion. 1t ought to have died earlier, or
at least many of the members should
have passed an earlier political demise
The greatest president the United
States has had for a generation at
tempted to have beneficial legislation
passed, but by obstruction of democrats
and faction in the republican party
most enactments expected by the coun-
try were talked to death by long-range
spouters. The senate killed the pension
bill, reciprocity pact, tariff commission
measure, election of senators by direct
vote, and other big pieces of proposed
legislation. AS a result President Taft
has issued a call converting congress in
extraordinary session for April fourth
1t is one of the curious ir 7sisten-
cies of the times that the send, ,rs who,
for the purpose of exploiting their con-
ceit and making political capital for
themselves, raced from one end of the
country to the other shouting them
selves hoarse about Cannon and the
rules, were in the main responsible
for the disgusting hold-ups in the SEN
ate and continued filibustering to defeat
pending legislation. Cannon is a pa
triot and public benefactor to be admir-
ed when compared with the class of
self-seeking demagogues who proclaim
one thing and do the contrary.
