Editor kennebec journal:
When people complain of the results of
prohibition, critieising the principle be-
cause of the exceptions against IT'S uni
Versal observance instead of commend
ing il because of the good il has wrought
they utterly ignore the factors of in
ereasing and changing population and
comparison with what the results would
have been We're il not for prohibition.
The younger people of today who may
feel inclined 10 welcome the saloon as
an innovation, without having seen or
known anything of its effects In Maine
OF elsewhere even from heresay, are not
likely TO appreciate the necessity of their
voting right if misled by people who de-
sire 10 make money or secure advantage
from the liquor traffic II is therefore
the Christian obligation of every man and
woman who realizes the evil that LIQUOR
has done, is doing. and is capable OF
doing, To use every atom of influence they
possess not only with the young but with
older persons, TO retain what is good ana
prevent the introduction of whatever il
evil into their families, their homes, their
state and their nation.
The results of prohibition have thus
far been peaceful homes in Maine To an
who have preferred peace to ADVANTAGE
The results of the removal OF prohibition
can only be measured after the disaster
II would bring in its train You who be-
lieve in the Bible and try to practice its
precepts as all should do. can gain a
clearer idea of the possibilities incurred
by re-admiting the licensed saloon as
welcome guest by reading st Luke's Cos
pei 18th chapter DIST TO 26th verses.
when strong man armed keepeth
his palace, his goods are in peace:
But when stronger man than he shall
come upon him. and overcome him, he
taketh from him all his armor wherein
ne trusted and dvideth his spoils
He that is not with me is against me,
and he that gatheretn not with me scat
tereth.
When the unelean spirit is gone out OF
man, he walketh through dry places
seeking rest; and fnu.ng none, he saith.
will return unto my house whence l
came out.
And when he cometh, he findeth il
swept and garnished.
Then goeth he. and taketh to him seven
other spirits more wicked than himself.
and they enter in. and dwell there; and
the last state of that man is worse than
the first"
The re-introduetion of the liquor traf-
fic as a licensed business in Maine, quail
fled legally to deal in the lives and souls
of men. would be a parallel case to the
parable quoted.
The evil spirits more wicked than
the liquor traffic itself, but WHICH
ACCOMPANY IT. are easily rec
ognized in the various forms of
crime perpetuated under the infiu-
ence of Intoxicating liquor 1t is true
these are found in exceptional cases
where liquor is apparently not the direct
traceabie cause, but in the majority of
| cases they are the outgrowth of its eff
| fects.

al Cong; ess represent constituencies at
home who are asking 40 favors for the
saloon but a square dead for the home
against the saloon from the federal
government
Let this movement for putting the
saloon under the ban all over the conn
| try go on in the next ten Years as it
has in the past and it is inevitable
that the attitude of the federal gov
eminent must be reversed. our fed
eral government Will deny the right of
the liquor traffic to promote its bust
ness in territory where local laws pro-
hibit, and will forbid the use of its ma
chinery for that purpose
The liquor forces Of this country
understand this situation perfectly.
The fear Of losing their hold upon the
national government and the necessity
of maintaining il against all odds was
forcibly expressed in the recent letter
of r. l.. McDonnough, President of the
National Retail Dealers League and
published in the Champion of Fair
Play. June 10. 1911. Mr. McDonnough
was unable to be present at the con-
vention of the National Wholesale LII
quor Dealers Assoc iation. In his let
ter of cordial greeting, after urging
the necessity of union and cooperation
between all branches of the liquor
trade, he said: our fight has become
national one, and ii is highly essen
tial that our organization intrench
themselves as one solid. compact army
at the national Capital. 1t
Is my belief that the officers of the
wi
should have am annual meeting a few
weeks before the converting of Con-
gress tG discuss what laws would or
would not be for the best interest of
the entire trade"
1t is perfectly evident that they for
see the danger of a change of attitude
Of the national government unless the
popular movement against the saloon
can be abated. To qnench this move
ment they believe victory In Maine
where prohibition has been enthroned
| for half a century. Is most essential
| 70 knock Maine down from the head
| of the prohihitory column. thew hone
| would stay the tidal wave of prohiht
| ton, and would postpone for wears If
| not forever. the dreaded opposition of
the federal government to their bust
| ness.
Is the pro- license press of Maine ig-
norant of these things when it pleads
| that Maine shall surrender to the we'll
| laid plans of the organized liquor
traffic as plainly set forth In their
| trade journals?

"offieiaI Organ" of What?

1t is interesting To note that the
Maine Labor Advocate. the sheet
which was born at Bangor July 10,
and Endorsed by organized labor"
makes no mention of the fact that the

repudiated the action of the Bangor
convention on the prohibitory amend

Charles o. Beal and his position on

liquor trust. which is unceasing in its
work against moral Institutions and
all that makes for the ennobIing and

the saloon. Not only must the better
element of Cambridge fight eternally
for the enforcement of the law, but
must keep up n constant warfare
against the invasion of the sleepless
liquor interests to keep their city from
going back into the clutches of the
octopus.
In spite of the fact that one crop of
students in the primary and grammar
schools passed period of o-license
