(OXford Democracy
Many people profess to favor the re-
peal of the prohibitory amendment to
the constitution. not because they be-
lieve in the sale OF liquor. but because
they do not believe in Incorporating a
police regulation in the state constitu-
ton. il any one had an idea that the
principal strength of the movement for
repeal was in those who held such a
view, the organization effected at Au-
gusta Wednesday should work disi-
fusion. The very name of the or
ganization. The Maine Non Partisan
Local Self Government League" would
be significant. But beyond that is the
resolution adopted, which, after a pre-
amble of several paragraphs, declares
that we will do all in our
power to accomplish the annulment
of constitutional prohibition and will
heartily endorse legislation enacted for
honest regulation and control of the
liquor traffic"
That's license. without any equivo-
cation.

White House. 1t was beyond the
reach of politics. fully without the pale

congratulate the chief executive and
his estimable wife on the completion
of twenty five years of happy life to-
sether.
1t is one more illustration of the
character of the home life of men and
women who are great enough to be
the first man and the first lady of the
first nation in the world. The sweet
simplicity and striking character of
the home life of those American
Presidents within the memory of the
present generation is worthy of com

happy family of children who were
companions of their father and moth
err in every day life. And today, we
have the presence of President Taft
and his wife and their children to
show the people what constitutes real
Americanism in the home and family.
Congratulatory kilograms came from
all parts of America, and cablegrams
from the heads of nations. to show
that other peoples of the world admire
the spectacle of honest simplicity
which the first home in the American
nation presents to the world. And IL
demonstrates to the average citizen
of America that there is something
even greater than being President OF
the United States. 1t is being loyal
and true husband, "a kind and honored
father.
The celebration of such an ami
versary must have been something
more than agreeably personal to the
President and Mrs Taft 1t is mile
mark in the journey of life. where for
a day they drop the burdens of the
ceaseless round of activities in social
and political life and look. each to the
other partner, with whom they have
spent these years. and wonder how
many more will be allotted them to live
together.
Perhaps 25 years of happy married
life is more than the average In this
or any other country. Yet at the
completion of that period. man and
woman are just beginning to learn to
live together and to live right. There
is serenity and hope in the future.
There is looking ahead to the days
when the activities of life are past,
when they may sit together, ripe in
years and wisdom, and carry out the
great scheme of life that the elder
shall be left to guide the footsteps of
the younger and sweeten the days of
those following after. The family life
of the head of the nation plays not an
part in the affairs of the
people. The example of quarter of
a century. spent helpfully and under
standingly in accepting the expert
ences of life and in character building,
has it's weight upon those who look to
superior minds to lead them.
President Taft has reason to look
upon June 10. 1911, as one of the hap
piest days of his life, yet we doubt If
in this he can claim the rapture that
was granted to Senator Luke Lea of
Tennessee, the youngest senator in the
national body. who at hospital in
Washington on Sunday gave quart
of his blood to save the life of his
young wife. and the operation was
successful And thus we have one
more example of true Americanism!
