JACK ASHORE. 1

If the sailor defined as one Who han
dies the sails of ship-no longer exists,
there are more seamen than ever before
going in and out of the Port of New
ork on the great passenger and freight
liners and tramp steamers, not to men
ton the increasing number of men en-
listing in the Navy who rendezvous in
Brooklyn. However, the Bowery knows
Jack no more, although it is within only
three or four years that the last of the
dance-halls, where he was given a spec
ial welcome, have disappeared Nor
have resorts like to those that formerly
existed to prey upon the sailor sprung up
in other parts of the city. There are
still drinking places in the Bowery and in
Cherry Street and the vicinity in Man
haitian, and along the waterfront of
Brooklyn, where there is tinkling piano
in the back room, in which an occasional
couple or trio of sailors may seek enter
tainment, but the seamen ofthe present
engineers, stokers, cooks, and stewards
are not the reckless spendthrifts and
drunkards who wasted their money and
themselves in the days of the clipper
ship, and the enlisted men in the Navy
are class of men far superior to their
predecessors in education and intelli-
gence. -FAnk Marshall White, in Har-

THE GRANGE AND PROHIBITION.

{ To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: The
following official notice to the Patrons of
Maine has been sent to the subordinate

MAINE STATE GRANGE,
Office of Master
GREENE, Me, Aug. 4, 1911
To the Subordinate Oranges: By referring
to the Journal of Proceedings of the Maine
State Grange. 1910 session. page as, you will
see that the Grange in Maine, by the action of
Its delegates. stands pledged to oppose, by
every legitimate means, the repeal of the
Prohlbltory Amendment to the Constitution
This is great moral and economic question:
absolutely non-partisan, and one in which the
Grange can and will be a very potent felt
force in deciding. Every available agency
should be used to arouse an interest," and to
overcome whatever apathy may exist. Ar
rangements have been made by which any
Grange in the State can secure a speaker upon
this question, free of expense to the Grange
l would recoa mend that a public meeting be
appointed and thoroughly advertised By APP
plying to George W. Norton, Secretary of the
No-License Movement, Portland, Me-, a speak
er will be furnished. 1t will be necessary to
state whether it will be a day or an evening
meeting, giving date of same, also giving
name of nearest railroad Station, and nave a
team there to convey the speaker to your hall.
Patrons, aggressive work from now until
September 18th, will win in this fight.
Sincerely and fraternally yours,

FRANKFORT HOTEL BURNED.

FRANKFORT, August 9. Early this
morning fire totally destroyed the hotel
here, owned by Miss Grace Kelley of
Boston and conducted by A. E. Potter of
Frankfort Mr.. Potter's furniture, bed
ding, etc., was mostly destroyed. The
fire started about a. M, midway between
house and barn, from some unknown
cause. 1t spread quickly, but all the
animals were saved with the exception
of a cow All of the roomers escaped
safely, but lost their wearing apparel.
The loss of buildings is estimated at
about $4,000 and it is not known here
whether the buildings were insured. Mr..
Potter's loss is from 81. 500 to 81, 900, with
no Insurance. Edwin Parker Treat, who
had room there, lost all of his books
and clothing, but escaped uninjured, al
though determined to return to his room
to save some of his things when the fire
was at it's worst. The residence of Hay
ward Pierce on the opposite corner re-
ceived severe scorching, and hard fight
ing with small hose and buckets kept
his and number of surrounding build
ings from catching fire.

Literary News and Notes.

Thirty-two extra pages in the August
Lippincott's enables that publication to
present to its readers an unusually i'm
posing table of contents, as well as some
attractive new features AS usual, the
magazine opens with a complete novel,
1.-The Little Green Door, by Dorothea
Deakin, author of George. - This is
rare story, full of humor and charm, yet
with a touch Of pathos, too. The hero
ines are twin sisters, ingenious girls
who fly in the face of convention when
Fate plays them shabby trick.
The glorious story of Captain Profile
roe's Fortune" no sooner comes to an
end in one of The Youths Companion S
August numbers than another serial of
another kind of treasure-hunting begins.
1t is called 1.-The Little Fortune, and is
by Gardner Hunting, writer whose
work has long endeared him to Compan-
ion readers. The scene of this story is
not the desolation of Boring Sea, but
teeming Chicago, and the struggles Of a
brother and sister there.

SUPPRESSION OF ILLEGAL SALES

One of the big advertisements, claim
ing long list of evils due to Prohibition,
which the Brewers are placing in Maine
papers that will support them, says our
Maine law ''has uselessly employed at
the public expense spies and spoilers. :"
There is this difference that while under
Prohibition there has been in most
places, most of the time, active effort to
suppress illegal sales, under license there
is little public expenditure for this pur-
pose. Partly because an increasing
police force has its hands more than full
with the increasing drunkenness and
crime resulting from open saloons.
Partly because the lesser evil of rela-
lively small illegal sales is lost sight of
when open saloons are doing business.
Under Prohibition we wonder where a
drunken man obtained liquor, and it
raises public comment: under license,
permitted by local option, police and ali
take i for granted that all drunkenness
cones from sales at licensed saloons.
One might think the saloon keepers
would see that illegal competition was
suppressed. But they supply the liquors
themselves, and often are party to the
illegal business as means of selling on
Sundays and to those customers too far
degraded to be desired in saloons. In
any case they rarely dare complain of
illegal dealers for the good reason that
they themselves so regularly violate the
conditions of their licenses that they
fear counter-c complaints in return. The
records of local option States show that
more United States liquor taxes over and
above those to licensed dealers are col
lected there than in prohibition States.
The more saloons: the more dives In
Boston over half the saloons are in Old
Boston, where there is one to every
three hundred and sixteen people. The
other seven sections of the city, former
ly separate towns, have successfully
fewer saloons. Yet nearly all the raids
for illegal sales were made in Boston,
and that by fine police force, under
State control, and so removed from local
political influence In Boston the fewer
the saloons, the less trouble with illegal
sales. Such is the rule everywhere.

Hon. Peter Charles keegan when in
Portland the other day was interviewed
as to conditions in Aroostook county and
expressed the opinion that there will be
bumper crop of potatoes this year.
When asked what the Aroostook people
thought of the reciprocity treaty, he
said: 81 am afraid that the farmers
don't like it very we'll. believe they
are more frightened than is necessary
and that it will not hurt them as much
as they fear it will. My own opinion
is that reciprocity with Canada will force
our people into diversified farming, which
is the one thing above all others which
Aroostook county needs. In the past,
you know, one year the Aroostook
farmer has made fortune, the next
year he has made failure of his crop
and mortgaged his farm, while the third
year he has been forced to go into bank
ruptcy. 1t has been gamble with him
always, with the prospects of making
big money and chance of losing all he
has. | do not believe it has had good
moral effect upon our young men, and
the only thing that will improve the
general condition is diversified farming.
If we bring that about it will help Aroos-
took and Maine as we'll, and think that
reciprocity with Canada will be the thing
that will do it." We believe that Mr..
Keegan has hit the nail squarely on the
head, and that it should be driven home
and clinched.

saloons away from their homes; as, for
example, the millionaire brewer of Mil
waukee, who not long since petitioned
the Wisconsin legislature that saloons
might be forever forbidden in the fine
avenue on which he lived.
Maine is growing rapidly under pro-
hibition, and change to license would in
deed favor growth in business-of the
brewers and distilers. Our own future
growth is coming from improved farming
methods and industrial growth as our
water powers are developed, and freer
sale of liquor will not make better farmers
or workmen, nor clearer headed business
men, nor will it do more for the summer
resort industry than to attract transients
who like liquors at the expense of driv-

largest bottle of the kind in the world
This big bottle requires floor space
practically twenty feet square. 1t is SO
feet in height, II feet in diameter and
almost SO feet in circumference and is
made as to form, color and general ap-
pearance, like the regular distinctive
