MAINE AND PROHIBITION
chieago. Illinois, sept. 3. loll

Chicago, Illinois, Sept. p, l9li
To the Editor Of Harpers Weekly:
Sir.-Your esteemed publication Of
september ed contained IN editorial
comment on Maine and Prohibition"
to which / beg the privilege Of reply
ing. You say, III may be that the
people of Maine will conclude after q
while that the perpetual conflict in that
state over State prohibition is NUS
ance that is worth abating, and will
get together soberly to try to find some
form of regulation OF the drink traffic
on which large ma jority of them can
agree"
do not believe there is the slightest
probability of such an agreement.
The principles involved are as diverse
MS right and wrong. Those who favor
prohibition believe and affirm that tn"
net results of the traffic in liquor for
beverage purposes are EVIL. and that
il is the duty of n government, based
on morality and intelligence, to pro-
hibit evil factors rather than legalize
their continuance The demand fol
prohibition is not based merely on
sentiment. There are moral, religious
and economic reasons for prohibiting
the sale of intoxicating liquors which
impelled such men as Senator's FRYE
Reed, Blaine, Fessenden, and Morrill,
and Vice President Hamlin to support
prohibition.
But supposing the people Of Maine
should get together and agree upon
some form OF regulation, would that
settle the liquor question in Maine
Has regulation settled the liquor
problem in any of the States? e-a
You are correct in saying, What Is
wanted Is the method Of dealing with

Harper's Weekly was no exception 10

History of Oldest Structure in
Cairo Revals Progress-Moved
: Thrice--Sign Painted Thirty-three
Years Ago Still Visible.

Probably the Oldest house in
Cairo is the two-story frame build
ing, known as 233 Fourteenth
street, east of Poplar, now occupied
as a negro tenement house.
The late William Lonergan, who
became a citizen of Cairo in 1852,
stated some years ago. that when he
arrived in Cairo this building stood
on what ia now Railroad street,
about opposite Seventh street, and il
was said then that house had been
built in 1914
He further said that some time af-
ter Cairo was plated, the house was
moved to the lot on the northwest
corner of Washington avenue and
Fourth street and placed on a brick
foundation.
1t was conducted as hotel or
boarding house for some years, un-
der the name OF the Mansion
House." and was owned by Col. Johr
s. Hacker, grandfather of Capt. John
S. Hacker, OF Ais washington ave-
nue. In the year 1878, Patrick
Burke bought the property, and sold
the building to Louis Herbert, who
moved 1t to its present location.
The old sign, Mansion House, /"
painted in large letters across the
west, or Poplar street end of the
house, although painted more than
thirty-three years 60, is still dimly
visible. on bright day, when viewed
from certain angle.
