OF course the liquor interests and
Democratic allies will continue to deny
that their purpose in repeating the
prohibitory law was to increase the
business In intoxicating beverages,
but il is evident that brewers and
liquor dealers in other states have not
been so convinced. The inquiry of a
firm Of Pittsburg brewers concerning
the outlook for a brewery at Rockland,
Me-, is highly interesting at this stage
OF events. Possibly this representa-
tive of the rum trust had gained the
notion from Secretary of State Davis
trip TO the Beer Trust convention. or
other source. that the Maine vote
was to be declared yes" and that the
new field thus opened UP would pre-
sent splendid opportunities for enter
prising manufacturers of beer and
other intoxieants.

p. o. o. Out of Liquor Business.

Not that we believe any Maine post
master would give encouragement in
any way TO the liquor traffic, do we
recommend the action just taken by
the Post Office Department, in which
postmasters throughout the country
have been warned against taking,
soliciting. or in any way encouraging
orders for liquor The general order
reads. No postmaster or postoffice
empioye shall give information to
liquor dealers or others for the pur-
pose of obtaining commissions on
money orders issued
While the order may mean little to
the State of Maine at this time, it is
the first evidence that Uncle Sam is
considering the question OF gradually
going out of the rum business. Post
master General Hitchcock has also
taken further action. divorcing his de.
partment from participation in tn,
liquor business. The following rub
has been issued 10 rural mail carriers

PoRTUGAL's NEW GOVERNMENT
Endeavoring to Lessen Both Taxation
 and IlIiteracy

Lisbon, Aug. 9-Although there may be some minor changes made in the constitution already drafted by the assembly recently elected to estab- fish the present Portugese republic
 upon a regular basis, it seems certain that in it's main essentials, the funda- mental law will stand as now outlined.
 The plan is to place practically the whole of the governmental power in the hands of a national legislature of two chambers, the lower one popular ly elected and the upper chosen by the country'S various municipal coun- cils and other similar corporations. Both the president and the members of the cabinet will be chosen by the legislature, the president for term of four years and the cabinet members for so long as they are able to main tain majority in the two chambers. The cabinet will, while it remains in office, exercise executive authority but the presidents powers will be considerably more limited than in the United States or even than in France.
 Though the heads of the provisional government maintained from the first that it would probably be a long time before the burden of taxation upon the people could be materially frightened, considerable progress has nevertheless been made in the direction of reliev- ing the appalling poverty of the masses. The most important of these steps took the form of a correction
 of the system of paying rents, which
 were formerly collected six months in
 advance in addition to which the gov ernment levied a tax upon the ten
