R. L. Beams Fast Trotter.

In notes on the horses at Readville the
Boston Herald says: "They reeled off some
merry miles at the customary Friday morning
workouts at Readville, last week. R. l.. Bean
of Camden, Me-, came down to see his mare
Lady Tilloy, that has been in Carpenters
string all season, and as she is entered
in the amateur race at Goshen Mr. Bean got
up to drive her. To say he was more than
pleased with what his mare showed is putting
it mildly. Mr.. Bean worked her two heats
alongside of Baron Aberdeen, driven by Car
penter. The pair went the first mile, timed by
dozen watches on the lawn, in 2.13, and came
back for the second mile in 2.1l, some of the
rail-birds getting it fractionally faster"

If prohibition is to be retained in the

to clear the way for a license law, and

You often hear the wish expressed that
the temperance question could be taken
out OF politics. If by that is meant a
cessation of the contest between the
liquor interests and the temperance
forces, that can only be brought about
by the complete and overwhelming
triumph of the latter. In this State
the question is taken out of politics as
far as possible by the prohibition amend
ment to the constitution. If the people
Of Maine on the 18th of September de-
clare by their votes that that amend
ment shall be retained it will put stop
to agitation in that direction for some
years to come. A contrary result would
bring about conditions which every citi-
zen of Maine would have reason to de-
plore. The door would be opened to the
allied forces of the brewers and liquor
dealers and they would be active in every
State election to secure members of the
legislature who would vote to enact laws
in their interest. Their money and their
agents were potent factors in our last
State election, and will be felt in an ever

The Belfast correspondent of the Wa
terville Sentinel says that collection of
taxes is "one'month late owing to lack
of an order of rebate for prompt pay
ment." Why not tell the truth? The
election of a tax collector was DELAYED
that the political and personal ends of
the mayor might be served and more
than month after the election the COL
iector had not obtained bond and was
not qualified to collect the taxes. The
matter of a rebate had nothing 70 do
with it, and the short time allowed for
the rebate was to induce prompt pay
ment to replenish depleted treasury.
