Memorial Day, 1911.

Thanks be to God for this blest day
OF retrospection, sadly sweet;
Children with flowers and soldiers gray
Are marching on the village street.
My heart is touched as on they come,
With starry banners waving DER
And music of the fife and drum,
Pausing before my cottage door.
Soldiers, your numbers now are few.
But years do not your zeal retardi
In Freedoms cause, as ever true,
Your thin blue line 10 still on guard.
30 will 1t be In untold years,
As silent. one by one, you fall,
Until the last old comrade hears
The Great Commanders final call.
Yet when your numbers all are gone, -.
And dim has grown your long.past strif
Memories of you will still live on
Unfadipg in our nations NE; c,,,

In a few weeks, if everything goes
we'll, the wreck of the Maine will be I'M
covered, so that it can be ascertsined
with certainty whether the explosion
which destroyed the vessel was inside or
outside. Meanwhile the partisans of one
view and the other are taking advantage
OF the few remaining weeks of ignorance
to rush into print with dogmatic expla-
nations of how they know it was either
one or the other. And what real differ
ence does it make, any way?

In some of the prohibition litera.
ture circulated in Maine by the Wholesale
liquor dealers associations is this ex-
preston: Local option may be excused
only on the ground of expediency. Is
there any different principle involved in
voting men out of business in restrict
i've district, from depriving them of their
property and livelihood through State
wide prohibition" That is plain and
frank. Anti-prohibtionists are fond OF
declaring that local option license is the
ideal system. But the wholesale liquor
dealers don't want local option. 1t
doesn't look right to them that the
majority of the people in a municipality
should have the power to say that liquor
shall not be sold there. In fact, there
isn't an argument for license as against
prohibition that isn't equally an argu-
ment for unrestricted sale as against any
form of license.

that only 6S persons from outside this section at

somehow due to prohibition.
