Why Does Maine Lead?

The Kennebec Journal has had
good deal to say about hestarmer and
the tariff. But it has not yet been
able to show that the tariff has bene-
fitted the farmers of Maine. Nor can
il show that the farmers OF Maine
would be injured by the tariff reduc-
lions proposed by the Reciprocity
Agreement.
The Kennebec Journal cannot point
TO one protective tax in the existing
tariff law that is benefit TO the peo-
pie of Maine.
Protective tariff is a curse to Maine.

Not All in Favor.

The Maine State Federation of labor
had considerable difficulty over the
attempt made Wednesday, to place the
organization on record as In favor of
the repeal of the prohibitory law and
ii was only after the liveliest kind of
debate that the resolution was finally
adopted at the Bangor convention.
One member of the committee on
resolutions. Roscoe A. Eddy of Bar
Harbor, who is one of the most promi-
nent members of the organization in
the State and who has served upon
its Legislative committee, refused to
sign the resolutions in favor of the
repeal of the amendment. Former
State Labor Commissioner Thomas j.
Lyons of Vinalhaven. spoke against
the adoption of the resolution and
others of the delegates, both by voice
and vote. protested against this put
ting of the laboring men of Maine on
record as favoring the saloon.
1t is to the credit of the Augusta
representatives of labor organizations,
present at Bangor, that six of the II
votes against the resolutions came
from members of Augusta unions.
Said laboring man to the writer in
discussing the action of the conven-
ton: 1T does not signify anything
as to the actual position of the labor
ing men of the State upon the liquor
question. The delegates who voted
could only express their own opinion
and by no means Represented the
sentiment of the people who sent them
in many instances. The stone cutters
and other Maine workmen under our

Atlanta's Food Screen Law.


Atlanta, Ga, has resolved on a
campaign that promises to make it
a iyless city. The Atlanta City Coun-
Gil unanimously passed a fly screen
ordinance that is double barrelled. 1t
requires the screening of all garbage
to prevent the breeding of flies and
the screening of all food exhibited
for sale to prevent contamination
from flies. The trainers of the ordf-
nance have made it understood that
they intend to enforce its provisions
with the aid of the health authorities
and the police.
This would be as good an ordinance
for Honolulu as for Atlanta. 1t is a
good ordinance for any city that de-
sires to take a most effective step for
safeguarding health. Such an ordi-
nance would mean heavy expense.
Certainly it would. But money spent
in putting such an ordinance into eff
feet and backing 1t UP in a way that
would keep it effective would be a
paying investment. II would lessen
the doctor bills and quarantine ex-
penseS.

on its feet with excitement. We can
readily imagine it. 1t was a grand

1T is quite likely that the same crowd
would go again; there certainly must
be thrills in seeing men dashed from
cars and in seeing the dead borne off
the field and in hearing the groans of
the injured. But if you call it sport
you've got the wrong name for it. 1t
is simply thirst to see something
sensational which may easily at any
moment result in bloodIetting and

wrong and inexcusable to permit this
sort of thing anywhere in civilized

The Danger of Rum Victory.
belfast Republican JournaD

tBtllaSt RepuDIlcdH Journal
During the agitation for resubmis
sion the past few years the generally
expressed opinion of Republicans and
Democrats alike has been that a de-
cided majority for prohibition was
assured whenever the question was
referred to the people. We believe,
however, that the Democratic leaders
We're as insneere in expressing that
opinion as they have been in regard
to enforcement. On the stump and
elsewhere they have declared that
though opposed to prohibition they
were in favor of strict enforcement of
the law while ii remained on the
statute book. but when they have had
the power to make good this declara-
ton they have failed to do SO. They
have advocated resubmission with the
hope that, by hook or by crook, they
might attain the end they have in
view-a license law, or free rum. Tho
result OF the State election last Sep
TENDER has afforded them great en-
couragement. Thaspum question was
an important If not a conspicuous is
sue in the campaign. Indeed, prep
arations to open saloons were begun
was announced. The election OF
Governor. State officers and practical
ly all the county officers, with the APP
pointments since made has given the
party in power a great advantage in
the coming contest and of which it
will not be slow to avail itself There
will be no lack of money on their side.
IT, as generally reported. and be-
lieved, the brewers contributed $25,-
600 to the Plaisted campaign fund
they can well afford to multiply those
figures by ten to defeat prohibition.
What they have to sell is more bulky
than the hard liquors and therefore
less adapted to surreptitious sales.
They have thus been practically
barred out of Maine and are anxious
to gain admission. Thus the friends
OF temperance have arrayed against
them the Democratic party as
party-there are, of course, temper
ance Democrats as we'll as rum Re-
publicans-the liquor dealers and the
brewers. on the other hand the
prohibition forces have no party or
ganization behind them, and they
must provide their own munitions of
war. 1t is an unequal contest. But
the temperance forces are fighting for
the honor, the material and moral
welfare of the State, and should pre-
vail against all the odds that can be
brought against them. Maine is Just
now entering upon an era of indus
trial and agricultural development
that promises great and increasing
prosperity in the near future. A rum
victory at this time would impair the
credit of the State and deal a blow to
her moral and material interests from
which she could not recover for a de-

license, would not be available to the

ed yet" and we would like to be SHOWN
one that had. The liquor interests
proclaim with every breath that pro-
hibition does not prohibit but after
seeing license work in dozen states
we have never seen the system per-
fected"; that is, do anything that its
promoters claim for it-regulate the
traffic, close up unlawful dives, sell
good liquors, refuse to sell to those
having money whether drunk or
sober reduce the amount of liquor
consumed, reduce town, county or
state taxes, build schools and church
es. provide better shoes for greater
number of children, Increase any
business but the liquor business, or
add anything to the sum total of
knowledge, morals or usefulness.

Automatic Electric Lighting.

Electricity is the only form of arti
fetal lighting which can be made au-
tomato.
One of the simplest forms of auto
matte lighting is the tiny incandes-
cent lamp in the dark clothes closet
which lights every time the door is
opened and goes out the instant it is
closed. Too many houses have been
burned to the ground because people
were forced to carry lighted oil lamps,
candles or even to strike matches to
find something in a dark clothes closet.
Usually clothes closets are filled with
highly inflammable material such as
dresses and papers, and the flying head
of a match, an overturned lamp or a
candle carelessly held against a bit
fire which cannot be put out. The
clothes closet may be equipped with
lamp and so connected that it auto
matically lights whenever the door is
opened and goes out when it is closed
This is arranged by inserting spring
switch in the frame OF the door, on the
hinge side, in such manner that
when the door is opened it releases
the spring plug and allows the lamp
to light. Closing the door pushes back
this plug and cuts out the light

tial Principles of Christianity
In all branches of the Christian
church today there are many who,
whether they know it or not, have
come to agreement in regard TO the
essential principles of Christianity
They believe in the fatherhood of God,
the brotherhood of man. the certainties
of the eternal life. the absolute au-
thority of righteousness and love, and
the mutual responsibility of all men
for the welfare of the human race
The time will come when, with one
accord; all good men will seek for the
agreements which should bind the scat
tered members of the church together
and make more of them than they do
of the disagreements which now sep%
arate them. We agree in our religion,
while we differ in our theology. We
sing the same hymns. but cannot re-
cite the same creeds. Some day we
shall know that the hymn writers and
