l am in favor of prohibition |
hope the vote in September will
show such a strong sentiment in
favor of the prohibitory law that
the officials viii be compelled TO
properly enforce the law. be-
lieVe that prohibition is the only
right method OF dealing with the
rum question. and that any other
is legalizing a wrong. The oppon-
ents of prohibition seem to base
their arguments ON the fact that
il makes officials dishonest I'm
fortunately the evidence is too CON
Nincing to deny the fact that dis
honest officials and politicians
have used the law to their own
benefit. but this should not con
denim the law. 1T is rather sad
commentary on human nature,
The same men would be dishonest
under license or any other law.
Unquestionably there is in ether
cities as much violation of law un-
der license as there is under pro-
hibition. AS bad as the conditions
are in Maine under prohihitory
law. they would be infinitely worse
5 under license. ! hope / shall never
see legali2ed rum shops in my ma
tive city or State. If the present
conditions cannot be improved
prefer that they continue as they
are. and the evil kept in dark and
out of the way places rather than
be Haunted in our faces on the
principal thoroughfares. I, how
ever. look forward with hope to
the time when officials viii do their
duty fearlessly and unselfishly
and we shall see the results and
receive the blessings of an honest
enforcement of the present pro-
hibitory 1aw.-Albert b. Hall,

| your son without taking the chances
of Jail sentence, az we'll as fine
That is why they hate the law
profits are uncertain and the rum
sellers business precarions.
That is why those who are paid TO
oppose the law attack it so fiercely.
That is why the Portland Argus.
the Lewiston Sun, the Waterviile
Sentinel and Biddeford Record, every
day heap calumny upon the law, upon
the pulpit, upon the w. C. T. T., and
upon the law abiding newspapers,
If you are working. heart and soul,
to better the conditions of your fellow
men, 10 save your father, brother or
son from an inebriates grave. or your
sister or daughter from dishonor, you
are opposed by the liquor interests
and their henchmen-such newspapers
as we have mentioned.
One of these boasts of its declara-
ton: 1T tmeaning the prohibition
law has muzzled or made hypocrites
of most of the papers and most of
the clergy"
If such newspaper had any cireu-
lation worth mentioning it would be
worth while To take up its buster
advertising and accompanying lido
torials But as it has not, no one cares
to spread its foul doctrine by answer
ing its false and unsupported charges.
1t is the policy of the rum trust and
its agents and organs to denounce the
prohibitory law and all supporting it
and to hypocritically cry "hypoerite"
They hate the law because they
they can buy at fixed price. They
declare that the prohibition law has
debauched the courts.
If they mad anything but false
trumpet up by the paid
tools of the liquor interests, in sup
port of their license doctrine, instead
of Incorporating under the sheep
skin of the fairness of local option
il would be worth while to read their
doctrine. If our Ieaders will take no
tice the distinguished men whom they
quote live outside of Maine and know
absolutely nothing about conditions
here under prohibition, except what
has been pumped into them by the
representatives of the
liquor interests.
Against the feeble few, who are al
eyed at some time to have made a
break that can be distorted into sup
port of the saloon business, are hun
ireds OF thousands in this country and
other countries who stand for the law
as II is in Maine. They see in ii an
advance-a step ahead of the world
and all statistics prove the wisdom, oil
those who drafted the law.

Dave Hennen Morris. one of the
leading summer residents of Bar Har-
Dor and one of the most influential
in keeping automobiles off the island,
has, in spite of the fact that automo-
biles are still prohibited on the island
of Mt. Desert, given orders for the
construction of a large automobile
garage upon his Bar Harbor proper
ty. His large stables with their con
tents were utterly destroyed by fire
and Mr. Morris gives it as mis- opin-
ion that in a very short time automo-
hiles are bound to come all over the
island of Mt. Desert and that he feels
1t unwise to build large and extensive
stables. He has told his contractor

a garage and plans to succeed his
horses with motors just as soon as

Strange. .sn't it? In my opinion,
small as it is. | should say that the
bray OF a jackass had nothing what
ever to do with the question. But
IN the settlement of this question his
voice will be heard from one end OF
the State to the other.
AS | said, this mule died as ordinary
mules have been accustomed to do for
years. To buy mule immune from
death is an expensive proposition. At
least too much for Delaware. There
are mules or similar animals with the
predomnating notwithstanding
that never die, but they are OF no
value on a farm
In fact, they are OF no benefit to a
| community as | ever saw, but it is not
Tor me to say The Lord had some
objec in view or he would never have
made SO many Of them
AS | said, this niue died and with
due ceremony becoming State insti-
| tuition, was disposed of. Inquiries were
made and $3.50 was the price of that
noble animal in his vicinity. Some one
heard of one in Baltimore for sale,
and it was inspected, found to be a
| mule with the necessary requirements.
1t was purchased for $780, Being a
strange mule and railroad restrictions
preventing bringing him home in the
passenger train, the mule was shipped
by freight and not by express as some
would have us believe. He has proven
TO be a worthy animal and promises
to be the center Of interest during the
next sixty days. He is living and well

Auction Selling In japan.

Sealed bids are used in auctioring

audience that he has such and such

vites bids. Those who wish to bid
write their bids and names on slips Of
paper. The paper is folded and placed
in box. When the auctioneer sees
no more bids coming he opens the box
and sorts out the bids. The highest
bid takes the property. It is like a
bond sale-no one knows what his
neighbor bids. II bidder is anxious
to get the property he will not put in

will very likely bid all the property is
