WAY Local Optionists Vote.

Gov Baldwin. of Theodore Roosevelt
| libel suit fame. has recently refused to
address a Connecticut meeting of sons
| of temperance because, he said, he was
in favor of local option. Yet, in an
swerirg a committee who visited him,
Gov. Baldwin admitted that he al
ways votes for license in New Haven
1t may impress the average person.
who considers this illuminative state
ment for a moment, that the average
man who favors local option ALWAYS
Local option is the dodge corner of the
rum element. 1t is a concession be
tween state wide license and state
wide prohibition, with the ever present
hope on the part of the liquor inter
ests that the next step will be from
local option to fulltledged license
Anyone who has given any considera-
ton to the subject well understands
that wherever there is dry town in
TIE H1luSl ul wet Oiit, the diS thNH
has q tough time of it in maintaining
anything like the so-called covered
bridge" conditions of drYness. Local
option in a dry town leaks on all sides,
and in order to be maintained dry IL
would have to support a Chinese wall,
guarded every yard by dry guards,
and a battery of gatling guns trained
on the skies against the liquor trust
aeroplanes.
Men who stand for local option and
preach that ii is a much better method
of handling the liquor question are
usually the ones who vote for free ram
when it comes to settling the license
question of their own town. 1t is safe
for those who are taking chances on
the utterances of Gov. Baldwin, in the
light of his recent utterances to class
him on the side of the liquor interests
There may be those who stand for
local option because they believe it is
better than a condition that Is likely
to prevail where state wide prohbi-
ton does not exist, but we believe the
majority of local optionists are, like
Gov Baldwin ready to vote for license
in their own territory

"Official Protection"

The intimation has been thrown out
that the rum selling business in Portland
is presumably under official protection"
1t is an ugly intimation. We do not say
that ii is true in all it might imply. The
charge would be too serious to make
without tangible proof to back it up.
The evidence is mainly circumstantiat;
it is the evidence of appearances. Sew
eral of the large cities of the country
within recent years have been stirred to
the depths by charges of police protec-
ton of crime. charges too, that have
been borne out by the evidence II has
been proved that officers of the law We're
under pay of keepers of dives and gam
bling houses and that for a price uniaw-
full vocations and practices were allowed
TO go on without interference Now we
do not believe that things have come TO
that evil pass in Portland. but if some
have been led to suspect it from appear
ances, the officials of the country and
city have themselves to blame, for hay-
ing TO suffer from unjust suspicion.
What are the facts? A law of the
State, a law which officials are especially
enjoined to enforce, is openly and netori-
ously ignored and violated No effort is
made to enforce the statute forbidding
the sale of intoxicating liquors. Rum
shops are doing business on every hand.
There is no pretense at eoncealment.
The business is conducted almost as free
ly as the sale of groceries or dry goods
Saloons are thronged with customers
Scenes on the street in certain quarters
especially on some evenings in the week.
are scandalous. Drunkenness and brawl-
ing are frequent and increasing. as the
police records show. The public ways
are infested with idlers. beggars and in
toXicated men. In some instances, as il
has been stated and not denied. members
of the police force have been stationed
in the vicinity of places where the lille
gal traffic was conducted, not to suppress
il or interfere with it in any way, but in
a way to assist it; that is to keep the
sidewalks clear and the crowds moving.
Meanwhile the sheriff. the mayor and
the chief of police are silent and inactive.
They do not lift finger to enforce the
law, and when asked why these things
are so, the sheriff and the mayor smne
and decline to answer.
If this is not official protection" of the
traffic, what is it? And If some are in
clined to put the worst construction upon
the official attitude can it be denied that
appearances give color to the suspicion?

Y
those officials iibw they could expect
the public generally to think other
wise. We know and they know, and
the Democratic party knows, from
Governor Plaisted to the cheapest
ward heller in the city of Portland,
that such conditions are unnecessary.
Il there is political purpose in it. the
people of this State are bound to find
it out, and we feel absolutely safe in
predicting, here and now. that the
Democratic party will suffer in conse
quence of any such action which has
been instigated on the part of it's
leaders
If Democratic officials in the city of
Portland are in league with the rum
business and are granting protection
to that element which the Press des-
cribes as creating scandalous condi-
lions, VIGOROUSLY violating law and
disgustingly betraying the will of the
general public it may be necessary to
start an investigation of the conduct
OF certain State and county officials.
as has been in other states, where de-
tiance of law, bribery and other such
crimes were increasing. An outraged
public is dangerous enemy of politi-

A New Cure for Tuberculosis.

DR.. de Szendeffy.. of Budapest,
tuberculosis. DR.. Bernheim, president
of "Oeuvre de la Tuberculose HUI
maine.'' and DIR. Dieupart, chief of the
anti-tuberculosis dispensary of St.
Denis recognized authorities on this
disease. and several independent ex-
perimenters who for three years have
been studying the effects of DR. de
Szendeffy's discovery, all bear testi-
nony to the extraordinary virtues of
the new remedy. It's dominant in
gredient is iodine, which has marked
effect upon tuberculous patients and
was long since believed to be a specl-
fic for the disease, could it be admin
istered properly.
1t is claimed that DR.. de Szendeffy' s
preparation, which is peptonized iodine
combined with a little menthol and
radium barium chloride, actually in
creases the therapeutic potency while
entirely avoiding unfavorable results
Experiments We're first made upon ami
mails. which by using this preparation
were made immune against injected
tubercular bacilli which without its
use invariably killed the animals
Then human patients We're treated
with marked improvement in eacf

Opposition to Changing Road.

1
| Scores of business men of Augusta,
of both political parties. many of them
| leading men along Water street, are
| deuouncing the proposed change of the
State Road from State st. to Grove
and Water Sts as an injustice. After
fully understanding the situation and
the proposal, they agree with the resi-
dents along the State Road, and are
signing petitions against the change.
With other business interests along
the street the Kennebee journal would
be glad to see the principal business
street of the city put in better condi-
ton. We would be glad to have bet
ter sidewalks and modern roadway
between them. We would like to have
the entire street laid down perma-
nently in perfect shape for travel and
sanitary care. But we do NOT wish
to see these things brought about at
the expense of any country ward, or to
the detriment of the highways over
which the business comes to the city
We are willing for the Democratic
administration to put Water street in
Al condition. and would give them
the credit for il. if the city can af-
ford to do it at this time; but we
object TO the scheme of robbing Peter
to pay Paul, that Democratic leaders
may shout prior to the next election:
See what We have done! And we
still have money in the treasury
Let's have Water street fixed np-if
1t can be done without negleeting re-
pairs and necessary improvements on
the outside roads.
Let us have a principal business
street of which all may be proud II
we can get II without adopting plan
that will work an injustice to residents
of Wards Four and Five where they
have been led (and instructed) to look
for assistance from the State.
If there is good defense of the pro-
posed change we have not heard it. up
to this time We are DESTROYS of any
information that will lead US to be-
lieve it is a fair thing. For lack of
such information we are opposed to
the plan and agree with the rural
residents who deem 1t an injustice
The farmers along the State Road
believe they are entitled to the State
Road fund and that, having need of
it, they should have it. We agree with
them. in spite of our own interests In
Water street. In behalf of the farmers
and residents of Ward Five, we appeal
to the fair minded business men to
show their understanding of a square
deal and make it plain to the State
highway commissioner and associate
judges.

hand in Roekland at this time and it's
work is brutally and uRblushingly
made manifest. If with the pressure of
law momentarily relaxed the saloon

anna ing.
OF the seventy five cities sixty
eight do not so report as to show,
with respect to current expenses and
revenues. how much they have spent.
including bills not paid and revenues
due but not yet received. There is
thus no proper income account For
ty-eight cities do not show their as
sets and liabilities and thus nave no
balance sheet. Twenty do not
show the balance of appropriations
unexpended and twenty -one do not
state their bonded debt. If the books
of large private corporations were
kept with the looseness displayed by
the municipalities no expert account
ant would or could certify to their
correctness.
Scientific accounting in itself saves
no money, but it is necessary If
either a corporation or a municipality
wishes 10 know where it is at and to
act intellieently. A complete income
account and a complete balance sheet
is bar to that financial f1oundering
that is curse of American cities,
and would do much toward lessering
the tendency to spend too much for
some things, with nothing left, dis
covered when it is too late. for other
more necessary things. In govern
nent employ are thousands of book
keepers but in the true sense they
have never kept books. 1t was dis
closed not long ago, for example. that
the Postoffice Department, spending
5000, 100000 annually, had no unified
bookkeeping system. 1t has been es-
tablished. and Postmaster General
Hitchcock is able to report a surplus
instead of the regular deficit. Next
to secnHe honest public officials
nothing do more to rectify and
remove wills of municipal govern
mert than proper accounting. 1t is
to be hoped that the national meet
