Since 1858 Prohibition Had Been In
eorporated In Constitution
The defeat of prohibition in Maine
is OF peculiar significance because it
was the first state as distinguished
from towns and districts to prohibit
in every form the liquor traffic. Some
OF the earlier states had put veto
upon any sale OF liquor to Indians.
and Connecticut in 1889 adopted 10.
cal prohibition
Meanwhile Maine was suffering
greatly from the trade in rum with
the West Indies, and in 1886 an edu-
cational campaign was started. The
leader in this was Neal Dow, a Quak-
Ter, who toured the whole state in ia
vor of the prohibition law. AS the
result of his eloquence and zeal the
Prohibition law was made effective in
1851
1t was amended from time to time,
and in 1858 was incorporated into the
constitution. Since that year many
minor amendments have been made
in the endeayor to make it really eff
fective but, however, prohibition may
have succeeded in the country dis
tricts, it has been generally recogniz-
ed that il could not be absolutely en-
forced in the cities.
The victory of the Vets in Maine
comes after twelve months of strict
J enforcement of the law The turn
over in the state in 1910 which drove
out of power for almost the first
time since 1856 the Republican state
administration was regarded by the
Prohibitionists as a great victory for
the cause.
J The Prohibition movement has
| spread widely throughout the country
Kansas, North Dakota, Georgia, Okla
homa, Alabama, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Missouri
Oklahoma and Oregon have voted fol
| Prohibition.

Standard Oil Agent in Court.

Ignorance is not accepted as an ex-
cuse in the eyes of the law, and for his
lack of knowledge of the state laws
with regard to the sale of oils, L. A.
Babcock, local agent for the Standard
Oil Co., paid fine of SIS and costs in
municipal court Monday afternoon.
Babcock was arraigned on complaint of
r. j. Maltpress of Edgerton, state oil
Inspector for this district, charging
Babcock with selling naptha for power
purposes without first having it tested.
Babcock pleaded guilty and on motion
of District Attorney Stanley Dunwid-
die, Judge Fifield levied the minimum
fine.
The state statutes require that oils
used for power purposes must be tested
but if sold for use in painting the test
is not required. Recently Babcock pur-
chased car load Of naptha which he
had been retailing for painting pur-
poses. He was unaware, however, of
the change that had been made in the
law, and when Milton customer de-
sired the naptha for power purposes,
Babcock sold it to him. The case was
brought into court to serve largely as
an example to other dealers in oils.
Mr. Maltpress is vigilant In his efforts
to see that the statutes are obeyed to
the letter, and further violations will
result in more severe dealing with the
offenders. Gazette.

We have been more Impressed very
recently with the danger of grade
Crossings than ever, before. We are
always careful i'm crossing a railroad
track whether in a buggy or automo-
bile and have generally felt that when
these accidents occurred they were the
result of carelessness. We are forced
to modify that opinion and to urge
more strongly the Importance of be-
ing rid of grade crossings wherever it
lis possible to be rid Of them.
! In the trip to Little Mountain on
Wednesday in Mr.. F. H. Dominick' s
Eord he drove carefully and we looked
up and down the railroad track at
each crossing. Just before getting to
Little Mountain the same thing was
done at the crossing and no train was
seen and neither was the sound of one
heard. We had not passed the cross
dng more than 80 feet before freight
came rushing by at thirty miles an
hour. If there had been the least hitch
in our crossing or the engine had
schoked on US or any accident, how
ever slight, that freight would have
caught US right on that track. And
no one could have been charged with
carelessness. The thing to do is to
avoid these crossings.

IRA B. JONES FOR GOVERNOR,
Possibility of His Candidacy Taken
Seriously-What His Home Pa
per Says.

Columbia Daily Record
That Chief Justice Ira B. Jones Of
the State supreme court may become
a candidate for governor is a posi-.
bdlity thta is being taken seriously
Several newspapers have commented
on his fitness for the position, and the
Lancaster News, the home paper OF
the chief justice, in its last issue, re-
produces these comments and adds
the following:
1T is very gratifying ito Judge Jones
host of friends here to know that their
distinguished fellow townsman is be-
ing urged to enter the gubernatorial
race, and it IS earnestly hoped by them
that he will be prevailed upon to do
SO.
Judge Jones would make an ideal
chief executive. His irreproachable
private character and spotless public
record, his ;preeminent ability, fine,
discriminating Judgment and univer-
sally recognized impartiality in the
administration of justice, his wide
knowledge of men and affairs, peculi-
arly and happily fit him for the Office
OF governor of South Carolina,
'As a candidate Q for uue Office, judge
Jones would be irresistible. He has
no superior in the. State as a. stump
speaker. EV er cool and deliberate
quick and ready in debate, resourceful
nrm and courageous, eloquent and
torceful in delivery, the Judge is a
man whom few if any would care to
tackle In public discussions before the
people in a political campaign"
Career of Chief Justice.

tyro in the political game. He served
