LOOKED NUMBER FIVE FAT'
Man Is Disappointed In Description Of
HIs Appearance in the Eyes
Of Others.

Many a man has wanted to know
how he appeared in the eyes Of his
fellow men-and been sadly disap-
pointed to find out. Elihu Vedder,
writing in the Atlantic Monthly, tells
a story Of such a man.
Weary and hot from his long sum-
mer days work uptown, he vas wend-
ing his way to the South ferry. His
home was on Staten island. In antici-
patton of the cooling breeze on the
bay, with dripping brow he stopped to
refresh himself frequently, but in
vain-for it was a very hot day.
His last stop brought him opposite
a ready-made clothing establishment,
and the idea struck him that his COM
paratively thick coat was responsible
for his discomfort. Acting on this
thought, he stepped ACROSS the street
and asked the intelligent attendant If
he had anything in the way of a coat
more suitable to the season than the
Il he was Notwithstanding he
could put On at once and that would

The Scotland ball team, accom-
panied By all who could get ac.
Communications ia the automobiles
in town, went to Tyndsu last Sun
, day where the Scotland and Tyn-

from the remarks OF some Of those
present the game was somewhat
lacking in professional dignity, to
say nothing Of the unsportsman,
like methods practiced. However
the Scotland boys succeeded in

The Irrepressibie Conflict.
,Springvale Advocate

tSprlnSNdIt AuNpCdtt.J
The irrepres sible conflict between
those who desire to take the principle
of Prohibition out of the Constitution
of Maine, and those who believe that
il should remain there will be waged
with increasing bitterness between
now and the date set for the special
election. The man who desires for
the State to continue along the safe
and sure lines of the last half centu-
rv will vote No. The man who oc-
lives IN turning the state to the rum
oligarchy will vote Yes. The desires
of the liquor element were well set
forth in the extracts from liquor pa
pers and liquor men published IN last
weeks Advocate. These voice the pur-
pose and desires of those who desire
TO see the sale of liquor untramelled in
the State The corruption fund of
$3.50, 600 which the brewers are pour
ing into Maine at the present time is
the strongest Indication of their de-
sires. Anything to beat Prohibition.
The same lawless disposition always
manifested by the liquor sellers is
back of this corruption fund. Lately
they have been parading statement
alleged 10 nave DeeH ilidut bN EA-NoN-
ernor Cobb, and claiming that ne was
opposed to Prohibition. but the Cover
nor has issued a statement saying
that he shall vote in September as
every honest man ought to vote to re-
tain Prohibition in the Constitution;
and the Portland Argus and other IL
quor organs have been driven In con-
fusion to publish columns of alleged
explanations to cover up their cha
grin. Let every man who wants 10 see
Maine continue in its straightforward
line; Let every man who desires to
see our fair State undefled; Let every
man who wants to see the prohibitory
law enforced better than ever before
vote No in September.

Governor Wilson and Local Option

Lewiston Journal(
Much capital has been made in the
License newspapers over the espousal
of local option by Gov. Woodrow Will
son of New Jersey.
In reality it is an argument for pro-
hibition. New Jersey has no local OPP
ton law-hence to espouse local option
is to progress toward prohibition. In
1908. local option was advocated as a
step toward curbing the unbridled
powers of the saloon. The saloon has
had New Jersey in its clutches NOR
ally, socially, politically. 1t has die
tated candidates; made and unmade
| judges; swayed enormous power at
| the polls and corrupted everything on
which it could lay its hands
There has been call for something
| better. Local option is better than
wideopen license as prohibition is bet
| ter than local option. The saloon power
! fights on both sides of local option. In
! It's summary of the benefieent acts of
| 1908 the United States Brewers Asso
| citation Year Book for 1909 refers to
| the results in New Jersey in congra-
tulatory way and says Local Option"
was the main issue in the election of
members to the legislature. Most of
the candidates and all the leading
| ones in favor of local option We're de-
feated. During the past five or six
years the local option movement
throughout the country has assumed
formidable proportions under the ieao
ership of the Anti Saloon League. On
the other hand a reawaKenlng OF the
liberty spirit has been notlceapie eV-
erywhere Thanks to the energy OF

fairness of it's agitation the counter
movement goes on bravery.
This official declaration of the u ).
Brewery Association is important. IL
shows the exact attitude OF the brew
ers Association toward law. 1t nights
against local option in non-optlon
states; it fights for local option in pro-
hibition states Whenever a man like
woodrow Wilson stands for Local OPP
ton in non option New Jersey he be-
comes at once foe of the Distillers &
Brewers and is classed as an Agitator
and q Ramrod and a Butter-In, even
as are those who in Maine fight
against the legalizing of the saloon.
Per contra, the work of the U. S. b.
A. is plain. In prohibition states they
seek to lead the state to local option
and having secured that they become
the bitter foe of local option, and seek
to bring about general statewide IL
cense by licensing beard. Then sole
| interest is trade and profit. Nor moral
| consideration counts with them. They

|insurgent senators may be induced t.
vote with the Democrats on the In
derwood wooden schedule bill. The
Democratic leaders contend that the
LaFollette bill is not really revenue
raising measure in the same sense as
the Underwood bill
Thus we find the House Democrats
of the view that they would rather
have the Underwood bill defeated than
to accept the LaFollette bill. In that
event, the Democrats claim they would
be in a good position to go before the
country on the defeated bill. II is a
case of playing politics on wool.

next campaign controls the actions of

to have it known. that ss.erossins is an
extension of the sidewalk; that pedes-

held under control that a pedestrian
shall neither be injured nor menaced
in the due exercise of his legal right

their rights on the street. and each

Every automobile is compelled by
law to carry lights in front and rear.
as soon as darkness comes on and IL
seems only fair TO drivers of other
vehicles, as well as to the auto
moblist. that all vehicles which move
about after dark should carry light
of some sort, as protection. not only
to others but to themselves. An auto
mobilist coming around a bend in a
country highway in the night is liable
to be almost upon team before the
lights from his machine shine full
upon it, whereas. If the team itself
carried a light of some sort. il wouId
increase its own safety many per cent.
one of the most careful automobile
drivers in the city told the writer a
few days ago that his greatest source
OF anxiety in being out after dark was
fear of coming suddenly upon team
IN rounding bend where his own
lamps could give him view only of the
surrounding fields and pastures in
stead of the roadway ahead

Rights of Pedestrians and Vehicles.

The judge presiding in the court of
quarter sessions at Philadelphia has
issued solemn warning that when an
automobile driver only blows a horn
in approaching a crossing and strikes
and kills a pedestrian, he is guilty of
murder. The Judge declares that the
rights of pedestrians at crossings are
violated constantly, both by many of
the drivers of automobiles and the
drivers of horses, unless a policeman
is at hand to enforce their rights.
The trolley cars, with their near
side stops, do not menace pedestrians
| as much as either of the others. The
driver of an automobile is inclined to
| depend too much on his horn, He
does not want to run over anybody, but
many of them seem to think 1t is the
sole duty of the foot passengers TO
avoid collisions 1t is the duty of
both, and extra care and lessened
speed at crossings is incumbent on
the driver of an automobile.
| The great and increasing number OF
automobiles. or rather the number OF
those who own motor driven vehicles
makes it important that their rights
and the rights of pedestrians on the
