The vote on taking prohibition out of
the constitution shows that on this issue
the people Of Maine are quite evenly
divided. Those who voted no of course
are ii favor Of enforcement, and many
who voted yes said that they did so be-
cause the law was not enforced and pro-
hibltion was farce. The natural as
sumption is that they want enforcement,
and that would give decided majority

On the strength of the returns indicating
the success of the repeal movement, Mrs.
Lillian M. N. Stevens, national president of
the W. c. T. U. and leader of the Prohibition
movement issued the following statement last
Monday night, but did not, however, concede
defeat
"There is no defeat,
"No call for retreat
"Can be blown from the bugle of right.
"The result of the great battle just fought
in Maine is but an incident in the great on
ward march of prohibition. The power of the
LIQUOR trust of this nation has been demon
strated as never before.
eff liquor money is effectual in overcoming
the influence of the church, the educators, the
Changers, the reformers, the women and the
children, it is high time there should be great
uprising of the moral and religious forces of
this nation. The nation must overthrow the
liquor traffic or the liquor traffic will over
throw the nation.

that prohibition led to hypocrisy; that

ere hypocrites. How is it with those
who stood on the other side? Many who

WORK THIS YEAR.

The employment agencies Of Fargo
have begun to send many laborers to
the fields and It Is expected that
within the next few weeks a whole
host of men will leave Fargo to 60 into
the fields Of the North Dakota farmers.
The fact that there has been little
building in Fargo this year and that
that there is little doing in the cities
Of the state because of the crop failure
Of last year, there is little work in the
towns and cities for the laboring man.
Many of these men who have hereto
fore depended upon the city for their
livelihood will have to seek work in
the country.
The wages that will be paid by the
North Dakota farmer this year win
not be up to their usual high standard.
The failure of the crops last year has
made the farmers hard pressed for
cash and they are not able to give the
laborers as much money as has been
their custom.
1t is stated, however, that danger
of farm and harvest hand shortage
still threatens in the southwestern part
of Canada, where thousands of men
are now employed and demand for
more exists in the construction of
railroads, irrigation projects and city
buildings.
