Tho Governors Historic Future.

(Ie&lSlOH
Governor Plaisted has no desire to
leave the State of Maine; he is will
ing to be the next governor of Maine
and he won't hurry about naming the
successor to Senator Frye. These
things he tells the Bangor News, in
an Interview.
The Governor was in Bangor, Mon
day night. From the foregoing paAa-
graph it can be seen that he had d
perfectly lovely time, for he had u
chance to tell what a great admini5tTa-
ton he was running. 1t has paid OF
thousands and thousands of dollars Of
debt, and the Governor told the News
so, but he didn't say where the funds
TO do it with came from, and that they

After that the Governor said that
prohibition was doomed. That ought
to settle tine whole matter. II being
so, why hold al election on the 18th
of next month"; All nonsense and use
less waste of money. He believes in
local government and police regu-
lation for he said SO. That was what
they had in Augusta during the re-
cent race-a police regulation, which
meant wide-open gambling and pool

as did the Governor and occupied seats
where the pool selling was in plain
view.
Oh, yes, the Governor lodged the
question of whether he thought lie
would be the next candidate for vice
president on the Democratic national
ticket, at least his answer to the query
as printed by the News indicates that.
He said in reply to that question: II
have no desire to leave the Good Old
State of Maine, and when the time
comes for another State election, If |
am alive, and enough Maine Democrats
show that they want me in the direct
primaries, I'll be a candidate for re-

he doesn't want to leave Maine, but
if that v r. nomination person should
come towards him he'd meet 1t hall

error on that point. The Governor
would grip it so firmly that 1t would
feel sure it had had permanent abid-
ing place there for years.
And how tickled the Democratic
bosses would be IL Kernel Fred could
only be "shelved" in some appropriate
niche: for sure as preaching they
know that he can never again be elect

Saloon Corner Chosen in Augusta.

A prominent Augusta business man
says he is reliably informed that a
party has secured option on a prom
inent corner where it is intended to
establish an attractive saloon if the
law is repealed. This corner is To-
Gated so as to command the trade of
the employees of a large manufactur
ing plant.
Just what that would mean to any
business concern, may be easily un-
derstood.
1t means also that such saloon
would establish a credit system and
that many of these workers would
become patrons-and that they would
pay their beer and whiskey bill before
they would pay their grocery bill.
1t means that the influence, aside
from the business detriment. would
cause the ruin of hundreds of boys.
1t means that a neighborhood and
business section, which now prides it.
self upon its responsibility, would be-
come the resort of boozers and buns
and the scenes of countless brawls
and fghts--a section where women
would not dare go after dark, and
would dread in daylight hours.

Editorial Comment
The Young Man, Sept. nth.
(Lewiston Journal.)

A1t"lSlOli iidist
But the young men, The stalwart
types in which Maine abounds; young
men who are anxious to deposit clean
ballot: ballot that carries Names
best interests morally and physically;
these noble fellows have no other in
terests so selfish or so large as to warp
them in their choice of what is best for
them and best for Maine.
To these young men, Names future
looms large on their horizon. Names
future is their future. They are think
ing and they are deciding and we be-
leve their decision will be a wise one.
Our interest in them if kindly shown
will bear fruit on Sept. 11th.-Water-
vile Sentinel.
This appeal to the young man to vote
for the open gin-mill, licensed by the
State and controlled and owned by the
Kentucky Distiller and the Milwaukee
brewer is almost as beautiful ar .
touching as the historic argument al
the gentlemanly party who talked to
Little Red Riding Hood in the nursery
tales or of the Spider who beguiled the
Fly.
The stalwart type of young man; the
ilOplc yDuilE IIidus INC SVuAi5 iiiub "
whom the future looms large on the
horizon, has only to vote for the open
rum shop in order to clean a state; 70
purify the market place; to enrich the
future How simple. how efective;
how beautiful, How fair it ripples on
the tongue of the eminent Waterville
political leader, who combines so many
functions in one and who is fighting so
valiantly for more. How disinterested
his appeal combiaing editorial with Of
fetal relations ii the heart of the polit-
zeal dynasty of the Imperial kennebec!
But there is a reason why the young
man sees It differently. He sees it dill
ferently because he is being educated
differently. Today in our Maine col
leges where twenty years ago the
Christian sentiment was scanty and i'll
nourished, there is abundant evidence
of revival of that spirit. Today over
| 80 per cent. of the college men of this
State are affiliated with the college Y.

pose beneath this wheeling call, they
will be disguised and in our opinion
will register on Sept. II in the spirit of
| the letter and the truth against this at
tack by the saloon organization on the
good name and the righteous purpose
of Maine. 1t is a fight against the
the monopoly of the saloon-the same
fight waging everywhere the nation
over, a fight in which most young men
are on the side of the Eternal Right.
And that side is not the side of the

they keep multiplying.
There were 10 saloons in the 18th ward
of this city and they became nuisance
to the residential portion of that ward.
The residents applied to the mayor to
have their licenses withdrawn, and in
consequence it was put to vote OF the
ward. The w. c. T. U. ladies were there

North DakOta's
Governor Sends
His Endorsement

Portland Me, Aug. 2i.-(SpeCiaD. -
DR., Wilbur f. Crafts received today
the following testimonial to Prohibi-
ton from the Governor of North Da-
kota;
At each session of the Legislative
Assembly since statehood, and until
the session OF 1909, a resolution to re-
submit the prohibition clause of the
constitution to the people was intro
daeed. The resolution had fewer ad-
herents at each session, until finally
they became so few that no resolution
has been offered since the session of
1907; SO that il would appear that pro-
hibition has become d settled policy
in this state
Many of its adherents supported pro.
tibitien for moral reasons, and. l
think, quite as many for business rca-
sons. The farmer says that if rainy
day came during the busy season,
" hen we had saloons, many of his
hired men would go to town. become
drunk and be worthless for several
DAYS while they We're SOLDERING up;
while under prohibition the employee
cannot get the liquor, or il he does 1t
is in such limited quantities that it
does not interfere with the farm work.
and hence the farmer is a prohibition
list.
The merchant claims that under pro
hibition there is more money i'll the
legitimate channels of trade, that col
lections are better and people general
IL buy more. They are better fed, bet
ter clothed. better schooled anG bet
ter citizens; and hence the business
man becomes a prohibitionist and pro-
hibition becomes settled policy in
the state.

The Four Questions to Be Voted On.

In our State House department We
have published in detail the four ques-
tions to be voted upon at the special
election in September. 1t seems there
is more or less public inquiry concern
ing these questions. The memory of
the average mortal is so brief that
matters of this kind readily slip be-
yond the grasp, and people of more
than average intelligence and who
are considered well posted on public
affairs, frequently find themselves
stumped when some unpretentious
chap comes along and inquiries:
What. besides prohibition, are we to
vote upon in September"
Within the week. we have received
letters from the editors of two news
What is Maine to vote upon on
September IL, in addition to the ques-
tion of repeal of the prohibition Jaw?
he four questions to be voted on are.
% The repeal of the constitutional
amendment, providing against the
sale and manufacture of intoxicating
liquors in the State of Maine (2)
The proposed amendment making Au-
gusta forever the seat of government.
go The proposed amendment permit
ting towns of 10000 inhabitants to
increase their debt limit. (4) The
adoption of the Davies direct primary
bill.
The first is a subject OF discussion
on the streets, in the homes and in the
newspapers, every day. 1t is being
thoroughly aired and no doubt will he
| better understood on Sept. IL, thar
| at any time in recent years
| The second is a proposal to make
| Augusta forever the seat of Names
| government, and thus avoid sucf
of some ambitious politician to dras
the capital to richer city. Such ac-
ton was instigated by the attempt OF
the city of Portland to increase its
legal debt limit to seven and half
per centum of its valuation. 1t was
feared by many in the central part
of the state that, although Maine had
expended more than 100000 recently
in increasing the beauty and useful
ness of it's State capital, the giving Of
a city like Portland such an advan.
tage of increased possible indebted
. ness might furnish the wherewitha
! to drag the Capitol away into a cor
ner of the State. On this question, /
/ is believed great majority of tn
, people of Maine would prefer that TIN
State capitol should remain where i
| is, as near the center of the State a

was approaching these citizens with a
stock selling or banking scheme, OF
wanted their votes for an office. Why
did il not include the foreign element
and .he native. too, of Dexter and VI
cinity2
Rut the Journal did NOT say the
peorle enumerated by the Sentinel pay
no taxes. With its usual perVefsity,
the Sentinel states what is absolutely
false and furnishes proof of it by pub
fishing what we DID say, except Tor
slight changes which we generously
credit to typographical blunder
We DID refer to the foreign out
laws" who are hastily enfranchised by
tho Rum Trust, and il is to THAT
class of foreigners that we have AL
WAYS referred, as most of the Sem
tinels readers know, for few there are
who do not have a NEWSPAPER in
the house, even if they tolerate the
Waterville Blatherskite.
we notice lndI our HdlINc oN'lo"9
and refugees seem to "disrelish" our
stigma on thugs more than do our clti-
zens of foreign extraction who know
the truth of our statements.
In spite of the desperate resorts
to which the rum press is driven, we
are quite safe in predicting that the
greater proportion of our citizenship
of foreign birth or parentage will vote
for prohibition on Sept. Il. We only
hope that our rural native population
will be as sure to go to the polls.
We presume that We have as good
right to denounce foreign outlaws
as we have native outlaws, and the
Sentinels attempt to put all our for
eign-born citizens III that class is
quite liable to act as boomerang.
We presume ii was some of the Sen
.iners henchmen who attempted to

The third is in relation to Port
lands appeal to be allowed to increase
rs debt limit. 1t is doubtful If q
great number of voters throughout the
state will have interest enough in this
matter to vote upon it. one way or the
other.
The fourth concerns the adoption of
a direct primary bill, which would
all nominations of candidates for any
state or county Office. including
United States senator. member of
Congress, and member of the State
Legislature.
In addition to the latter question,
the voters of Aroostook county in
cluded in the northern registry Of
deeds district of the State. will be re-
quired to vote upon the question
whether the registry of deeds for that
district shall be removed from its
present location, and if removed.
whether it shall be located at Fort
Kent or Van Buren,.
Briefly. the above sets forth all the
questions that will come before the
voters on September II, but the ques-
ton of vital Importance to the people
of Maine at this time is the rum
trust assault upon a law which has
made for moral and financial progress
fer a quarter of a century. The enc
mics Of the law have ridiculed and
denounced it, yet we know and every
one knows who has seen conditions in
licensed States, that the prohibition
law of Maine has not only saved thou
sands of its best sons; has saved the
mothers. wives and sweethearts, but
ii has increased the State bank ac-
count. lowered the State taxes and
lessened the number Of criminals and
insane.
1t is hoped that majority Of the
voters of Maine will mark the NO"
square on the ballot and save the law.
but it will be necessary for every voter
Whfo favors the home and the stand
ard of manhood which now obtains to
go to the polls on September II and
vote
On election day, every man, and
every human animal which looks like
a man, that can be dragged TO the
polls and made to mark his ballot by
the use of money and rum, will be
there to vote: and every one of these
will vote Yes" under instruction and
command of the Rum Trust forces,
led by the Democratic machine which
has espoused the Rum Trust cause
Every voter should remember. if he
votes Yes he will vote with every
newly enfranchised foreigner who can
be recruited from the ranks of the dis
earded thugs of foreign nations, to
vote against our intelligent young
men in battle to preserve the welfore
of the State.
