The Court Temperance Meeting

Because of the little notice given, the
very sloppy condition of the streets, and
a number OF stated church and other
events here and at Norway, the attend
ance at the court temperance meeting
Tuesday evening was rather small.
Clerk of Courts Charles F. Whitman,
who is the prime mover in these meet
ings, called the assembly to order, and
asked Hon. w. Fl. Eastman to preside.
Mr. Eastman took the chair, and asked
u. n. Han,lin of Waterford, the fore
man of the first traverse jury, to offer
prayer.
After prayer Mr.. Eastman said that he
trusted the small attendance was not the
measure of our enthusiasm. Maine has
long been the Dirigo state, and partly
because of her prohibitory liquor law,
This law is good in spite of all that is
said against it. Resubmission Is not an
issue Low, but the question 10, what
shall we do to meet the issue Of retain.
ing prohibition.
Rev. T. N. Kewley Of South Paris was
called upon, and declared that prohibit
ton is not ineffective. No law is inef-
fective. The trouble Is not with any
law, but with the people who should en-.
force it. License makes not for the
moral elevation of man, but for degrade.
ton. Behind the demand for license ia
the greed for gain on the part of those
who traffic in manhood. He quoted
some good temperance talk from Sam
Jones and from Governor Hanly, and
said he was strongly in favor of continu
ing prohibition in the constitution.
Clerk of Courts Whitman, being called
upon, said that he feared he had failed
in his duty in making arrangements fol
this meeting, that he didn't announce i
many weeks ago, so that other affair,
might not clash with it. The question
now before us Is vital. There must b
no license in the state of Maine. How
long do you think South Paris would b,
the model village that 1t is IL 1t had
licensed saloon?
J.H. Bean briefly declared his un
compromising stand for temperance
and urged organization and effort in tn
present contest.

to II years of age, and asked II there wa

boys and tell them that he thought
would be good thing for them to hav

He pledged himself to do what he coul,
to retain prohibition in the constitution
| N. G. Foster Of Mexico spoke briefly
referring to liquor as the great evil Q
the day.
| Nm. Hamlin Of Waterford made
good temperance talk, paying little hee
10 the legal phase Of the question, bu
dealing with It's moral aspects.
Closing remarks were made by Chair
man Eastman, comparing the allege
failure of the prohibitory law with tn
failure which he instanced of the Law
against murder and other laws which d
not do away entirely with the evil
against which they are aimed, but neve
,, theless no civilized people would thin
of doing without them.

Transcontinental Highways

The Colorado Good Roads Con ference
association finds that there are three
good feasible routes leading across the
state. These lead from Denver, Pu.
eblo and Colorado Springs. The first,
that from Denver, leads up Clear creek
canon past Grant, Fairplay and over
the Mosquito range into Leadville.
The second, from Colorado Springs,
leads up Ute pass across the South
park country through Buena Vista to
Twin lakes, thence across Indepen-
dence or Hunters pass to Aspen, then
to Glenwood Springs and on down the
Grand valley to Grand Junction.
! The third route, that from Pueblo,
follows the Arkansas river through
Canon City, SaIida, across to Doyle,
through Gunnison and on westward.
One proposed route provides for this
road to cross the Black mesa to Delta
and then down to Grand Junction
Another route, more favored by many
because 1t leads through rich agri-
cultural district, is across the Blue
mesa to MOntrose, thence to Delta and
on to Grand Junction. This route
would follow what is known as the
old Mormon trail.
These three routes would all come
together at Grand Junction. The
question Of a good road frC m that
point to Salt Lake City is being solved
by the Utah people, and each of the
counties in that state through which
such a road would pass have already
agreed to give $4,000 toward the ex-
pense Of constructing.
Much of the work for the routes out
lined above has already been done.
The survey over Independence pass,
where per cent grade has been Sc
cured, has been finished. Pitkin coun-
ty Is ready to advance its share of
funds for the road, while Fremont,
Chatfee and other counties interested
are anxious to press the work in their
sections. The state highway commits
sion is having surveys made and lay
ing its plans so that with the coming
of the next spring work can be pushed
forward to rapid completion. The idea
is that work shall not drag because Of
the Lack of men, but that all the help
needed to build road speedily shall
be put at work.
