MAINE WENT .DRY."

TN IUe6o6y Name v0Ce0 on Cne quest.
ion Of taking the prohibition clause from
its constitution. Two weeks ago this
paper indicated that through new con-
ditions caused by the influx Of foreign
factory operatives and summer visitors
that it was . new Maine that was voting
and not the old State Of Maine.
The results as shown by the kilograms
Of the associated press bear out our
representations. The first reports gave
the state to the vets by about 750
majority with about IA towns to bear
from. But from our personal knowledge
We knew that these towns were certain
ly rural, back-woods localities and that
they were sure to 60 ''dry."
The later dispatches showed this eur
mise to be true and Wednesday night
the majority for the 'sdrys'' had crawled
up to shout 800. This majority is moro
likely to be increased BY the Official vote
than decreased for severai reasons. a
There were about $1,000 yotss cast
on either side and the clossness Of the
vote is very remarkable. Az 70 how they
voted, the figures show that in . svote Of
"a, 600 which took IN all the larger towns
and cities, the .wets'' had 1900 while
the "drys" had but 5000. This was the
overwhelming majority that the rural
districts had to overcome, and shows
that they must have voted almost il not
quite as solidly for prohibition as did
the cities against prohibition.
This also proves our former statement
thst '.Old Maine'' is prohibition state.
One Of the results Of this election 10
that it is now possible to redeem Maine
from its late slump into the democratic
party. II the saloons lad been re-sstab-
lished there would have been hut little
show. While many democrats in Maine,
are prohibitionists and many republic
cans favor license, yet for al the years
that prohibition hss been an issue there
the republican party as whole has been
the temperance party while the demc-.
crats have been on the other side, and
nobody questions that the saloon
influence IN that state i itseH almost
purely democratic.
Itwas the hottest fight that haa ever
occurred IN old Maine politically, g both
|sides knew that; the syes d the whole1

HOW WE ARE GOVERNED.

When man is sick, it is comparative
ly easy for himself or his neighbors to
know the fact and observe the symptoms.
But there are but few people and these
trained physicians who are competent
to diagnose the disease and prescribe
the proper remedy. Thousands Of people
yearly attempt to doctor themselves and
die from their own remedies.
The body polite has its diseases, which
are evident 70 the individual, but as in
the diseases Of the human body, It re-
quires expert treatment to find therein.
edies.
The remedies for the diseases Of the
body polite are supposed to be found in
the statute laws. These are the prescript-
ions Of the political pharmacopoeia. They
are the remedies for all that goes wrong.
But while we send for the skilled doc
tor in the case Of own bodies, we trust
the making Of law to most anybody. We
elect all sorts Of business men and
tradesmen to doctor the state. These
legislators have no difficulty in finding
political disease but when itcomes to
the application OF the remedies they
naturally make some fearful errors. The
remedy kills in many cases instead Of
cures. s
One Of the most common failures il ii
the very writing Of the prescription.

HAD TROUBLE EXPLAINING
Devils Lake Business Man Tells Story
Of His Early Youth on the Farm,

A local business man, while in rem
iniscent mood with number of friends
recently insisted that the average
straight-and-narrow path would look
like the trail of a garter snake, COM
pared to the path he had followed all
the days of his life. For real "Simon-
pure" dyed-in-the-wool, ten-hour-a-day
rise-he is the human personifcation.
Here g the reason:
When he was small boy, his father
used to discourse fuently upon the
value of the paths of rectitude-used
to sit up nights with him and instruct
him in "How to Become a Manly
Man by Avoiding the Demon Rum and
Other Evils. ''And he listened, also he
avoided, until one night the temptation
to get out and mingle with the village
lights obsessed him strongly and he
fell. He tells it thus:
"Father had habit of coming up
to the room where his sons slept. He
came very early and lighted the lamp,
I, which was fathers way of telling his
offspring twas time to get up, milk
the cows and do the chores. One
morning, very early, he came up as
usual to light the lamp
The business man paused and for a
long while was silent. Then he con-
| tinued:

his fingers when he took hold of the
chimney.

explain what made it hot, although I
tried out every excuse of which I

Defeat Lake Views in the final Game
of the Season Sunday.

The Riversides copied the amateur
championship of Southern Wisconsin at
Rambler Park Sunday afternoon when
they gave the Lake Views the worst
trimming they received this season.
The game was the Riversides from
start to finish; the losers did not seem
to have their usual snappy playing
Hopp was batted very hard while An
derson held the Lake Views to four
scattered hits, being very effective
with men on bases and registering z
strikeouts against them. The Lake
Views by hard work saved themselves
from shut out in the last inning when
Binninger made their lonely tally.
Johnson, Werwie and Thomas were the
bright stars of the game in fielding, in
fact the Riversides all played their op-
ponents off of their feet. johnson held
runners tight to the bases, getting 5
assists to his credit on attempted
steals. Thomas led the hitting with
four hits to his credit. The final score
was S to l III favor Of the Riyersides.
