PROHIBITION vs.. LICENSE.

The voters are not to ballot on the
question of license on the second Monday
of next month. The voters are not to
ballot on the question of saloons next
month. All the talk being made abor
the terrible wickedness Of the licensed
saloon is far from the point at issue. -
Waterville Sentinel.
This nonsensical assertion is reiterated
to WEAKNESS. Every man who knows
enough to go in out of the rain knows
what the real issue is. He knows that
the issue is between prohibition and
license. He knows that this attempt to
get prohibition out of the constitution is
not for the fun of the game, but there is
another object behind it. He knows that
a majority for the repeal of the amend
ment would be taken as popular man
date for the repeal of the statute and
the enactment of a license and local
option law. He knows that the efforts
Of the license party would then be con-
centrated on such object. He knows
that the Maine Non-P Partisan Local Self
Government league, which is directing
the contest for repeal, has declared that
if successful it will endeavor to bring
about the enactment of license and
local option law. He knows that repeal
would be the first and most important
step in that direction and that it would
be the removal Of the most serious OBJ
stacle. 1t is true that the ballot is not
to be, in form, upon the question Of the
licensed saloon, but it is true that in
reality it is to be. What's the use of
throwing dust? 1t deceives nobody. -

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

What advantage will it be to Houlton,
Aroostook County, and the State of
Maine to have Local option or High H.
cense? Will it increase the advantages
of town for strangers to locate IN?
Will it make better citizens of our men
and young people? Will it increase hap
piness in the homes? Will it increase
the deposits in our Savings Banks? Will
it foster an upright living and be bene-
fit to our neighbor? Will it be an honor
to our town to have the saloon legalized,
and be something which residents can
point to with pride and say Eyes, we
have open bars in Houlton, and are proud
of it." Who are the people that will
profit by the saloon? One class only
the man who sells the liquor and the
rest will suffer- Vote NO on September
