Saloons Three Arguments.

Mr.. Baker declares in detail thai
the saloons at Newark, as everywhere
else, had just three arguments 10
make in defense of their existence
three arguments are advanced when
ever any attempt is made to regulate
any social eyil-whether the attempt
be to prevent child labor, regulate
| railroads. stop the congestion of tene'
| ment houses. or control trusts H.
gives the three reasons as: First, tbs
property argument; second, that per
sonal liberty would be interfered with;
and third. that the law could not be
enforced.
How familiar to Maine people arr

State is using them after the manner

GUARANTY.

The capital of w. w. Kimball Co.
is exceeded by but few of the larg-
est banks of the United States. This
enables them to buy raw material
in great quantities, to make every
separate portion of the instruments
in their own factories, and is the
strength of the Kimball guaranty,
which goes with every instrument.
This is the climax of w. w. Kimball
Co.'s ability to furnish the most for

LARGEST OUTPUT.

The product of the Kimball fac
tories is more than double in volume
that of any similar institution in the
world. To you this has much sig
nificance, indicating great popular
ity. 1t signifies all that unlimited
capital can command, as w. w.
Kimball Co. purchase for cash and
accommodate their customers as to
terms of payment. 1t means that
the manufacturers can afford to sell
at a small profit, obtaining results
from more volume of sales. This
is also proof of ability of w. w.
