The Saloons Strongest Hold.

At the dedication of the Rumford
Mechanics Institute. Rumford Falls,
Me, Thursday afternoon. President
William Dewitt Hyde of Bowdoin
College, said that the second need of
man is wholesome recreation; that the
third side of man Is good fellowship,
and added: "A Latin proverb tells
us linus homo. nullus homo one
man alone is no man al all Wha'
we are and what we are worth de-
ponds on our relations to others; the
friends we have the time we spend
and the interests we share with them.
This natural craving for fellowship on
free and easy terms, much more than
the craving for liquor, gives the saloon
its hold. A building like this where
good fellowship can be had WITHOUT
LIQUOR is the best possible ally to
temperance"
He might have added that those
who organize. in any way support or
give countenance To. clubs which add
beer and other drinks 10 the free and

The oaths Men Take in Office.

Al City Hall, Augusta, Thursday
evening, Gov. Hoch of Kansas told
OF prohibition in his own state. He
said that Kansas had been under con-
s.itutional prohibition since 1880, but
| that at some periods it had not been
strongly enforced. He cited his own
experience in driving out the 200 il
! legal saloons from Kansas City. Kan,
city of 10000 population, as proof
that the prohibitory law can be en-
forced in large cities. He was obliged
however. to order a mayor, who was
opposed to the enforcement Of law
removed in order TO bring about TINS
result. He had the assistance OF an
attorney general, who was IN sym
pathy with the movement TO aid MN
but was obliged To rely upon his pow
or of removal of county attorneys ana
mayors. rather than upon any state
constabulary.
The governor described banquet
nj Kansas city after he, as the states
chief executive. had begun die clos
ing movement in that city. The pre-
siding officer al the banquet made 4
speech without mentioning the Gov
ernor, but in such n manner that
everybody knew who was meant. crit
icizing outside influence being brought
to bear upon local officials. 1t was

my manuscript away and made an
speech in which ! told the
gentlemen that l had taken my solemn
oath 10 enforce the law, that IL was
not a personal opinion at all, but il
was a matter of oath and duty; that

CARELESS of consequences.
Let us dream, Let us paint Gov
ernor Plaisted throwing away his
connection with the liquor interests,
and picking up his oath of office
Let us consider that he remembered
to have taken a solemn oath to en-
force the law, instead of an inereas-
ing attempt to invalidate and repeal
it. Let us, while We can maintain
the chimera believe that the Governors
of Maine intended 10 be true to his,
oath, regardless of consequences.
Cultivate the fancy until We see him
calling upon city and county officials
to enforce the law or step down and
out.
And, then, in a supreme flight. let
us picture the ubiquitous Pattangall.
