R. W. DUNN, WATERvILLE.

l believe the principle of State wide
prohibition of the liquor traffic in Maine
should be retained. Any other method
would largely increase the evils resulting
from liquor drinking. While our law
forbidding its sale has not annihilated
the traffic, it has restrained it to such
degree in most parts of the State that
its resultant evils have been reduced to
a minimum. In license States they have
fully as many cases of illegal selling,
i. e., violation of the prohibitory features
of the license law, as we have and all the
sales allowed by license besides. The
only virtue of license law is in its pro-
hibitory features and everyone knows
how persistently and openly these are
violated. Neither minors nor drunk ards
have any difficulty in getting liquor,
when they have money to pay for it, and
Sunday sales are so common as to attract
little notice. Prohibition has driven the
traffic Oft our best streets and into places
that are not at all inviting or attractive.
License would open very attractive sa-
looms on the corners of our best business
streets into which many of our boys
would be enticed and ruined. The help
from our mills and factories and shops
could congregate there and spend their
earnings for drink which ought to go for
the comforts of life and for the support
of their families, in the case of those
who have families. AS manufacturer
and employer of labor l have taken
pains to investigate and compare condi-
tons in other States with ours and find
that where we are occasionally annoyed
or interrupted ir our work because of
drunkenness, such trouble is of frequent
occurrence in license States and for sew
eral days following pay day so many of
the help are drunk or recovering from a
drunk that it is impossible to secure help
to run all of the machinery. They are
continually discharging help on account
of drunkenness and hiring others in their
places. In spite of our prohibitory law
liquor is sold and evil consequences fol-
low, but with a license law the sales
would increase ten fold with the attend
ant evils IN proportion. R. w. Dunn,

Maine Educators for Constitutional Prohi-
bition.

At the opening session, July 18th, of the State
Conference of the Maine School Superintend
ents in Castine, the committee appointed the
previous day reported the following resolu-
tions
Whereas the present non political campaign
concerning the temperance question we regard
as one of the most important issues ever pre-
sented to the citizens of a free commonwealth,
and
Whereas, we, the superintendent of schools
share in large measure the responsibility for
promoting the physical, mental and moral in
terests of the boys and girls, soon to be the
men and women who will control the policy of
the State,
Resolved that, without regard to our polti-
cal or religious affiliations we thoroughly be-
lleve that the material interests of the State
will be best subserved, and the highest welfare
OF the present and future generations will be
best secured, by continuing in force the pre-
sent prohibitory amendment;
Resolved, that we appeal to the electorate of
the State to reaffirm Sept. IL next, the princi-
pie established by our fathers and maintained
by the State for the last so years, that there
shall be no alliance between the forces that
tend to lift, elevate and ennobIe and those that
tend to lower, debase and destroy all that is
best in humanity.
Resolved, that copies of these resolutions be
sent to the Associated Press with a request
that the same be given the widest publicity
The resolutions were discussed and unani-
m ously and heartily passed.

Should the Principle of Curbing the Saloon

0Aouiu the EIWCiple OF NurDin2 the SdlOOn
in Maine be Rejected or Retained.
GEO. E. MACoMBER, AUGUSTA.
1t has been my good fortune to travel
generally over this State for the last
twenty five years and have noted with
good deal of interest the matter of
liquor selling and liquor drinking.
have also Travelled very generally in
about every State in the Union and |
have no hesitation whatever in coming
to the conclusion that the prohibitory law
is better and less liquor is sold under it
than under any other system of regulat-
ing the liquor traffic. This does not
prove that no liquor is drank in Maine,
as such condition of things is utterly
out of the question, but there are practi-
cally no open saloons. The educational
advantage of such condition to the
young and growing citizens of Maine,
who will be voters in agfew years, is, in
my opinion, beyond calculation. If these
young men and boys are educated to
leave liquor alone there will be no drunk
ards to bother in the future. lido not
believe the people of Maine will ever
sanction any system of open saloons and
liquor selling. Geo. E. Macomber, Form
er Senator, Insurance, Augusta, June 49,,

ZENAs THOMPSON, PORTLAND.

State wide prohibition should be re-
tanned in Maine and my reasons are as
follows: % | have lived long enough
to see the rural people of this State grow
out from under the cloud of poverty and
wretchedness brought upon them by the
free use of intoxicating liquors, and be-
come prosperous and happy with pleas
ant homes. (2) | have seen farming
communities where once were untitled
fields, tusnbled-down buildings and
broken windows stuffed with old hats,
(the farmers spent their time at the tav
ern or corner grocery where liquor was
sold), gradually change to prosperity
with finely cultivated fields, growing
crops, herds of blooded cattle, buildings
in good repair and general air of pros
perity in all surroundings. 81 | have
seen our country villages become thrifty
and their citizens living in comfort and
their children we'll dressed and happy
and all upon much higher social plane
than formerly. (D l have lived in
Portland 81 years and have seen the open
saloon driven out and only dives and
kitchen bar rooms take their places, and
the rum-seller become an outlaw and
skulking in the dark to conduct his I'M
lawful business. In this period l have
seen the whole State of Maine become
prosperous and respected among the
people of the whole country and her ex-
amples regarding prohibition followed
until the temperance wave is threaten
ing to overwhelm the rum traffic
throughout all our land. don't believe
in any compromises or substitutes.
What we want is true men in the official
positions. That time is coming if we
stand true to our principles. Zenas

The co1ored voters throughout the
length and breadth of our land al
ways have had, and I predict always
will have, an Unborn sense Of gratitude
for that political party which befrlend-
ed them when they were sorely IN
need of friends. True, they have been
severely criticised for this seeming
fetish loyalty, but they have continued
election after election to demonstrate
to the world that it was from a high
sense of gratitude, more than all else,

Of public schools. "

VI PADAAN oNAAOOAOs
DR.. Davidson arrived in this city
yesterday morning and Immediately
went to the Franklin School, where
ne had long conference with Mr..
Stuart. During the day a number of
the school officials and teachers called
at Mr.. Stuart's office TO meet the man
who IS to head the local school or
ganization after July I.
During his talk with the retiring SUI
perintendent, Dr. Davidson had an Op-
pOrtunity to learn something of the
questions which confront the school
authorities at present. He was &C
quainted with the fraternity question
in the local high schools when inter
viewed yesterday afternoon, but said
that he was not sufficiently versed in
the discussion to make any statement
at the present time.
Asked whether he was a believer IN
high school athletics, and especially
high school football, DR.. Davidson re-
piled that he believes in any high
school sport that is good, clean sport
On Record Against "Frats."
Speculation as to what course Dr
| Davidson will take regarding the local
| high school fraternity questions has
! been increased because of the fact that
| the incoming superintendent was
called uon to settle a similar question
while at the head of the Omaha
schools.
Under DR.. Davidson fraternities
were abolished in the Omaha high
school two years ago. The question
; in all its aspects came up then, anC
the Omaha Board Of Education, under
recommendation of the superintendent
adopted a rule whereby no member o.
fraternity was eligible for student
honors. This rule was rigidly en-
forced At first, fraternity member:
thought they would stick it out, bu
not much time elapsed before the boy:
and girls gave in.
DR.. Davidson will remain in Wash
ington until Wednesday evening, whel
he goes to New York for a day. Re
turning here then, he will go back Il
Omaha the evening of July I to at
tend a final board meeting there Jul.
3. After that he will pack up hi
goods and chattels and return t.
| Washington to remain permanently.
