SOUND CONSERVATION POLICY.

'Woodman, spare that tree" is fine
sentiment, but not finer than Brewer
spare that youth" Half century ago,
slaves were worth 81, 200 in this country.
From a purely economic viewpoint, and
as national resource, good. clean,
healthy, well-educated American boys
ought to be worth much more. If you
will stop for moment and think how
many are annually ruined and utterly
destroyed by the saloon and its influences
you will be so appalled, that you must at
least begin to appreciate the value of
prohibition as an economic policy.
If you think it is not business ques-
ton figure carefully on the annual reve-
nue. derived from saloons and see how
far it will go to meet the losses of boys
alone through the criminal Institutions
which are fostered under the wing of the
grog shop; for | assert that the brewery
is originally, and the saloon is ultimately,
the spawning place for the gambler, the
prostitute, the robber, the Wife-beater;
and, finally, the murderer. The gam
bling house and the house of prostitution
are so closely allied with the saloon that
when the latter is compelled to move out
of a community the others must go with
it as they have done in our State.
Prohibition in Kansas is not the result
of atmospheric conditions. The climate
had nothing to do with it. Reason was
at the bottom of it ALL 1t was not
brought about by fanatics, but by sane,
sober, patriotic folks who had longer
heads and more common sense than the
average of American people had at that
time. 1t was not new theory. 1t was
as old as the abuse of liquor. Eleven
hundred years before Christ an emperor
of China decreed that all the grape vines
be pulled up by the roots and burned to
ashes. Centuries before Christ, Lycur-
gus, the great law-giver of his people,
did precisely the same thing in Greece.
The Carthaginians prohibited drinking in
their army 300 years before the Christian
era. Draco, in his laws, made drunken
ness capital offense. All through his
tory you will find it and wherever it was
observed the nations became greater,
and the people more virtuous. Prohibi-
sas is simply protecting its people from
the arch enemy of human happiness.
Kansas homes are protected from an in
finitely worse enemy to society than the
burglar.
Prohibition has simply muzzled a
brute, that is ten thousand times more
vicious thar mad dog. 1t has only es-
tablished a quarantine against plague
more destructive than cholera. 1t has
merely cut out useless expense that
was more burdensome on the people
than all of the State and county taxes
combined. Gov. Stubs of Kansas, in
the Union Signal.

WHAT MAINE PAPERS SAY.

License is wrong in principle and wrong
in practice, and no thinking, conscien-
tious man can stand on license plat
form, if he views the situation as we do.
Maine cannot afford to give up prohibi-
ton, nor will she unless the fool friends
of the cause keep on making fools of
themselves. Lisbon Enterprise.
When Plaisted stood on the Cheney
theatre platform and with tragic wave
of his right arm, declared that, if elect
ed governor, he would have enforcement
that would make Maine as dry as a COW
cred bridge, he was insincere; he was
talking through his hat, and large num-
Der of rumsellers in the audience knew
it, for they applauded the statement.
That he was insincere has been proven
by the wide open" reports from Lewis
ton and other cities. Falls
Times.
The Democratic party has reached
point where it publicly boasts itself the
enemy Of prohibition. 1t has staked its
future on that issue. 1t proposes openly
to swim by the aid of the liquor interests
or sink because of it. Its chief legisla-
ton was in carrying out party promises
to overthrow prohibition, and it is before
the people to say whether they prefer
open bar rooms, increased drunkenness
and immortality to prohibition and the
best enforcement that can be had. Ken
nebec Journal.
As the time approaches for the cam
paign for the retention of the prohibi-
tory amendment in the constitution to
open, the attention of our people is be-
ing seriously drawn to the question.
Would it be an advantage and an orna-
ment to the Town of Houlton for retail
liquor saloons to be established by law on
Market Square and upon some of our
most prominent business corners? A
very prominent business man, speaking
of this matter said, 81 believe in no
license. do not want to see grog shops
legalized where my wife and daughters
must daily pass them as they traverse
the streets, and do not want to see my
boys filled up with Intoxicating liquors. -
Civic pride, love of family. economic
wisdom, combine to bring the judgment
of men to conclude that legalization of
the liquor traffic would be blot upon the
beautiful Town which we love. -Aroos-

A BLOOD BUILDER
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Cured
This West Virginia Man.
He Was Anaemic and His Stom-
ach Was in Bad Condition and
Ordinary Remedies Did Him
No Good.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find the
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-
coded the decline in health.
Obscure influences, something I'M
healthful in ones surroundings or

ment of the blood and an enfeebiement
of the whole body. When serious
stage has been reached there seems to
be nothing that will acc cunt for it.

climate or OF work will sometimes elect

BOY SCOUTS.
The Chief Scout Points Out Difference Be-
tween British and American Boy Scouts

>.
Ernest Thompson Seton, Chief Scout
of the Boy Scouts of America who re-
Gently returned from visit to the Boy
Scouts of Great Britain, has written a
letter to the Boys Of the United States.
He praises the boys of America and says
that the American Boys are in many
ways superior to the British Scouts. He
writes that the American Boys are spe-
cially skilled in all matters pertaining to
camping out, while the English Boys are
better disciplined. Mr.. Seton suggests
that troop OF the finest Boy Scouts of
America be sent to England soon to show
the American attainments in scouting,
and that a British troop be sent over
here. This question is now being con-
sidered by the Executive Board, and
should such an exchange of international
courtesies be decided upon, much care
will be taken in selecting the troop to go
to England. Following is Mr.. Seton s
letter:
Cos COB, CONN.,, April 6, 1911.
To the Boy Scouts:
Last week | returned to this land of
sunshine after spending couple of
months in our motherland. One of my
objects in going there was to compare
notes with the British Scouts. Sir Rob-
ert Baden-Powell, the Chief, gave a
luncheon to enable the American visitor
to meet those who were active in British
scouting and we had many important
ideas and experiences to exchange. Their
chief trouble is much the same as ours,
namely, the scarcity of good scout mas
tiers. But our American Scouts are ahead
in many ways as we'll as in numbers. l
found, for example, that our boys are
far more skilful in everything that per-
tains to camping out. This is doubtless
matter of climate and opportunity. |
found, on the other hand, that the Eng
lish boys were better disciplined.
Another thing that struck me was that
the American Boys seemed to have great
er lung power than the English lads. The
English Boys do not give their yells with
the same enthusiasm and power that the
American Boys do. like especially this
expression of enthusiasm among the
American Boys.
1t is proposed that we send one of our
finest troops over there in the near flu
ture to demonstrate our methods, and
our cousins will be invited to send one of
theirs over here. Such an interchange
of visits would doubtless be of immense
advantage to both organizations.
Faithfully yours,
.(Signed) ERNEST THOMPSON SETON,
Chief Scout.

CAPT. BILL SNOW.
Noted as One of Most Famous Halibut
Catchers on Coast.

Catchers on Coast.
Capt. bill Snow" paid brief visit to
Portland yesterday.
Capt. Snow is a famous skipper. The
Nen of the younger generation in the
fish business may not know much about
him, for the stalWart captain has not
been here for over Is years. But to the
middle aged men and the older men,
there has not been man on the whole
coast like him, What Capt. Sol Jacobs
has been to the mackerel business, Capt.
Snow has been to the halibut industry.
He has been recognized as the haiibut
king for years and is still regarded as
such.
When he used to come into Portland
over Is years ago, he was the skipper of
the Parnell O'Hara and so often did he
come here that he was regarded almost
as a Portland captain. Of late years,
however, he has been sailing out of Bos-
ton. When he arrived here yesterday,
he was given a hearty greeting by his
old friends.
Capt. Snow is now in command of the
trim schooner Quickstep which he brought
into Portland yesterday. That he is still
catching halibut as much as ever was
evidenced by that fact that he had TO-
900 pounds of this kind of fish on board
as we'll as 10000 pounds of mixed fresh
fish. The former were sold to F. M.
Harry of the New England Fish Co. and
the latter to the F. S. Willard Co. The
Quickstep had been out only ten days on
the Seal island grounds. During the first
few days bad weather was met, but after
that it was good fishing weather
''Halibut catching now is about as it
always has been,' said Capt. Snow in
conversation with Press reporter.
''There seems to be just as many fish as
there ever were. The only trouble to be
met is tie weather. If the weather is
bad, then the fish cannot be caught. If
it is good, than lot will be landed.
Sometimes they are in deep water and
sometimes in shallow. This present trip
was landed in IS fathoms, about one-half
what the other fishermen have been fish
ing in. can't see that the business has
changed any,"
That is the opinion of the man who
has probably caught more halibut than
any other man on the New England
coast. 1t should be regarded as authori-
tative by those who say the fisheries are
decreasing. Portland Press.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTO RIA
THE SCHOONER PURITAN.

The old freighter Puritan, which is now
loading at the south side of Central Wharf, is
claimed to be the widest freight carrying
schooner in this country. She was built at
Belfast in the year 1886. Her net tonnage is
ITO. She is 85.5 feet long and 2s.7 feet wide,
and draws feet of water. Captain Lyman is
her commander and his home is at Seal Har-
Dor. The Puritan ran between Bangor and
New York for several years carrying coal, and
was always very successful on her trips, not
meeting with any bad accidents. When the
schooner Emma Day was taken off the route,
freighting between Portland and Bar Harbor,
the Puritan was purchased, and was brought
to Portland to take the place of the Day. The
Puritan has now been running from tbs port
to eastern points for nearly two years, and is
what the captains call trim little craft for
the kind of business she is in.
The Puritan was built by Mcdonald & Brown
for c. j. Hall, to bring stone from his quarry
at Somes Sound to his granite works in this
city; but what promised to be large and pros
porous business was broken up by the abroga-
ton of a government contract by Demo-
cratic House, and by labor troubles. The Puri-
tan, despite her great beam and the fact that
she was designed for carrying rather than for
speed, proved a good sailer whether light or
loaded. The Puritan was taken out on Gil
chrest's marine railway last week, was launch
ed Thursday and sailed for Portland.
