After SO Years of Prohibition
Will Maine Vote Back the Saloons

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. Z. - On
the 18th of September the prohibit
ton amendment to the Maine
constitution will go to the people
again, on referendum.
Maine has been a prohibition
state for over so years.
The failure of prohibition to
prohibit" is cited by the enemies
of the amendment.
They submit these facts to bear
out their contention:
There are 1000 public dring-
ing places in the state, over 200
of them I'm Portland, 200 i'm
Lewiston, 100 in Bangor and 02
in Augusta.
One Boston wholesale house
ships into Maine 100000 worth
of liquor a year.
The state pays for liquor an
nually (estimated) between three
and four million dollars.
Portland alone consumes 400
gallons of whisky and 100 bar
rels of beer a day.
These are facts that can't we'll
be denied. Indeed nobody does.
But the prohibitionists contend
that with all her Illicit drinking
places Maine is better off than the
states that still have the open
saloon.
So they are going to put up
big fight. Mrs. l.. M. N. Stevens,
national head of the w. G. 7. u,
lives in Maine, and she is on the
job with a vengeance.
The w. G. T. U. is backed by

CLAPP Is FOR

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 6.
Sen Moses e. Clapp of Minneso-
ia, the Oldest progressive in con-
gress, is in favor of the United
States having absolute charge OF
the development of the Alaska coal
fields. His reasons are few, though
powerful.
''The United States govern
ment is building the Panama
canal" said Sen. Clapp. ut

States government can mine
Alaska coal and do that well.
The pIanto lease the fields to
the big business interests is

why? Because II the business
interests are allowed to control the
fields under lease the government
might just as well make then a
present of all the fields. The
reason for this is simple.
We have interstate commerce
laws, yet we all know that with
the railroad combine working to-
gether it is possible to freeze out
the independent dealer, despite all
the laws ever written. With the
railroads owning the railroad to
the coal beds, it would be impos-
sibie for any outsider to lease a
section because the railroad would
refuse to handle his output.

Marrying Minister
May Lose His License

Justice Barnard, Of the District Su-

the question of the revocation of the
permit issued to G. ]. 8. Hunnicut to
marry couples In this Jurisdiction. Dis
trict Attorney Clarence w. Wilson
strongly urges the court to revoke the
permit, and Is backed by the Pastors
Federation Of Washington.
Testimony to expose the Gaping
system" in vogue at the City Hail
brought out the fact that in addition
to outsiders. three employees at the
court house have directed couples to
Hunnicutt and have been paid. This
is a phase OF the matter that will be
the discharge Of the employees in ques-
ing that the 'disgraceful practice Of
Gaping permeates even the court
house."
''It is q disgrace to the dignity of the
court and prostitution of the holy
sacrament of matrimony to permit these
practices" declared Mr.. Wilson In his
argument
Hunnicutt was given a hearing yes
terday afternoon on the rule to show
why his permit to marry couples should
not be revoked, on the ground that 1t
was obtained by deception, and that
1t has been abused since 1t was issued
October %, 1909. He took the witness
stand, and gave the court a heated talk,
asserting he was being prosecuted. He
admitted he had given money to men
who had directed couples to him, but
maintained he has a right to do so.
