Liquor Raids in Lewiston..

What is the meaning of this sudden
spasm of enforcement In Lewiston?
Who is behind it? Have respectable
citizens at last found way to force
Democratic officials to perform some
small part of their public obligations?
Or have Democratic leaders decided
on some new play for public favor?
This sudden wave of virtue on the
part of the Androseoggin sheriff s
forces and Lewiston police looks sus-
picieus. After months of the most
open defiance of public decency--eon-
ditions that have disgruntled hundreds
of their most loyal Democratic friends
these multiplying officials begin raids

Prohibition in Kansas.

I.eavenWorth, Kan, Nov. I, 1911.
To the Editor of Harper's Weekly
Sir:-In your issue of October 2lst,
in defense of your opposition to Pro-
hihition, you say:
Sexual desire affects the morals Of
men and causes crime, but the state
does not make it its business to sup
press it, though it does try to regu
late it"
Such an argument is of course be-
side the case and utterly misleading.
Sexual desire is an instinct, implanted
in every creature of flesh and blood,
but manifesting itself but little or
not at all prior to the period of sexual
maturity. The desire for alcohol is
habit, artificially created as a result
of repeated use and indulgence. Every
normal child, or the young of the low
er animals, experiences sexual desire
as it grows up-but no child, puppy,
calf. or other animal is born with a
craving for alcohol any more than
such a child has an implanted craving
for green olives, catsup Worcester
shire sauce, or other articles which,
through example and repeated in
diligence in, it may ultimately come to
like. The child who likes the taste
oe beer or whisky the first time 1t
drinks them is rare to the point OF
non existence. If an individual never
tastes alcohol or receives dose oil
morphine, | am quite sure that you
will agree that it is in no danger OF
suffering from either alcoholism or
mornhinomania. AS there is no par
ticular virtue in the possession of an
acquired taste for alcohol, and count
less examples show that such taste

Farmers in many sections are sur
rendering before the more conservative
element in the corn controversy and
the prospects now seem bright for a
getting together of the Gamers and
producers. When orders were issued
not to receive any more corn, it was
declared by many that it was not be-
cause of the frost, but subterfuSe
employed by the Gamers to stop an
over-supply. Now the majority seem
to tend toward the view that the COM
panies really wanted more corn If
they could find any in suitable condi-
ton for packing. The report from
Dover FoXcroft is to the effect that
farmers are signifying their intention
of taking contracts for the coming
year and are really convinced that
their corn was severely injured. Other
companies note the same tendency
and in defence of their action point to
the factories who accepted the dam
aged product and are now in trouble
with the pure food law commission.
