For the Worlds Peace.


We are believers in the coming of a
world wide peace, though we are not able
to forget that we have lived all our life
long under the shadow of threatened war
There may be conflicts yet; but these
treaties, if concluded. with the SIX ma
lions named, will, so far as we in the
United States are concerned make war
so difficult and. in view of that world S
opinion on which more and more de-
ponds, make aggressive war so hateful
and impossible that the whole color OF
the situation will be changed. Those who
want war are few. They are growing
fewer. Most of us. trained warriors or
followers of peaceful pursuits, will re-
spond with sympathy to the words that
Admiral Togo spoke of these treaties;
1.-The treaty is mighty good thing Tor
the powers of the world. / have the re-
mutation of being a fighting man, but l
love peace among nations more than any
thing in the world

SPEAKS FROM OBSERVATION. >
Editor Davis Tells Whystie VIII vots
For Prohibitory Amend rent.


During recent years have lived in
more than one license state and more
than one prohibition state, and in each
my business has giver me more than
the usual opportunity Tor observing
the manner and the results of the
operation of the liquor laws. This
experience has convinced me most
thoroughly that prohibition is the only
method by which any of the evils con-
nected with the sale of liquor can he
eliminated
a state in which liquor selling ia
prohibited is SO much cleaner in an
pearance. has so much less of tempta
tioa TO the young, and offers so much
less opportunity to the working man
10 spend his money for that which
destroys both mind and body. that
thefe Is no comparison at all beside
license state. The man lin Maine
VINO has not lived in a license state
mas no conception of the enormity OF
MS oiiense against good government
against the morality and Cleanliness
OF his city in advocating license. A
license law does not control the Ii
auor trafiic-it is simply system Of
getting as much blood money as pos
sible out of business that is only
evil in its results. Our great" men
and good men. who are talking about
the evils OF prohibition and the bene.
fits eff license, either have social
business or political interests in the
| liquor business or they are snpremely
| ignorant of the whole subject Why.
| even little children are capa bic of
noting the good efieets Of prohibition
in n city in Maine, by comparison with
a place where there are open saloons
For these reasons shalt certainly

The Suns False Grounds.

The Lewiston sun. speaking editor
ially of the addresses at the prohibit
ton rally in Lewiston, Tuesday even
ing, says:
We don't believe that the men named
by President Chase made the people of
Maine Industrious. That is about as rea-
sonable as to claim that the prohibitory
law made them abstemious and pros
porous
The Sun apparently shuts its eyes
to all facts and ears to all evidence
except abuse of this one law of Maine
The failures of local option and state
wide license laws to regulate" the
liquor traffic as their supporters claim,
goes without mention in the Sun.
The Sun does not recognize that
thousands of people have become in
dustrious in Maine because they have
not weakened their mental or physi-
cal powers by the use of intoxicants;
they have not wasted their energies
in saloons or the product OF saloons,
and they have thus become "industri-
Gus. abstemious and prosperous"
Why should the sun understand
these things which President Chase
Of Bates College said for its benefit?
The sun further says:
About murder. robbery and adultery
President Chase. what special provision
against them is there in the Constitution?
and what difference has il made in the
frequency or cnormity of murder or rob
berry or adultery? We undertake To say
you cannot give any reason why any
crime will be in any measure prevented
by being named in the Constitution"
President Chase can answer, and
furnish tie proof, that the presence

minds have long since discovered that

ests. which must be- done before any
liquor legislation can be enacted"
The Sun says I'VE believe President
Chase will not claim that the prohibitory
law has been better enforced under the
amendment than before. He speaks OF
murder does he believe the horrible muir
ders committed in Maine in the past %
years would have been fewer or less re-

it were far better that the law be in
