our state. without being impressed

The Legislature certainly did do what
Democratic leaders required of ii in
placing a tax burden on the property

the 18th Legislature were S,767 056.SS.
The total appropriations for the 74th
Legislature reached $S,644.52812. but
included in this was 100000 to cover
temporary loan. Thus the Demo-
cratic Legislature appropriated over
100000 more than the famous 74th
which provided for permanent i'm

many hundreds of thousands of dol

The 74th Legislature also provided

Editor kennebec Journal:
| saw by Thursdays Kennebec Jour
nal that the face of Neal Dow.
Names grand old man, had been
turned to the wall in the State House
attic which is certainly burning
shame to the one who did it and more
shame to the one who allowed or COM
PEELED it to be done. There is no doubt
but that if Neal Dow could himself
visit our Capitol in these times of the
rum spirit which now exists there, he
would turn his face to the wall with
sorrow and disgust But thank God
that such things as turning his face to
the wall and in other ways attacking
the dead are becoming great eve
opener for sound-minded men all over
the State. and may God speed the day
when the rum element will be cast
out Now rally around the polls,
boys, in September and do the fall
house cleaning at the State House.
From a w. G. r. t. woman, a con-
slant reader of the kennebec Journal.

Senator Hanson's Logic.

Il submit If man should plant the
same kind of seed potatoes for fifty
years he would be a subject for an in
sane asylum. We have worked on
the prohibition problem for more years
than that. j think the time has come
for us to test something else. and this
amendment simply places this matter
in the hands of the people, and when
they try it for year and find it UNI
satisfactory, at the next town meet
ing they send it up Salt river
The above is from the address of
Senator Hanson of Waldo county. at
the special session of the Legislature
Even the most loyal of the senator's
friends must admit that his oratory is
vastly superior to his logic. We
wonder il Maine had been planting
rum potatoes so years, would he want
her to change the seed-were there as
much money in the business for few
workers as today.
Looking at 1t another way, would he
have the man who is planting good
seed and getting good crops every year
change his seed because his neighbors
do so with disastrous crop reports?
II seems that the 59-year old boy
orator of Waldo would put Maine in
planting the good old seed of prohibit
tion and refuses to be led from the
path of fidelity by the Eighty careers
of some other states. If the Waldo
gentleman, who claims ancestry that
stood for rum and advocates poster
ity reared in rum, could show any
better or even half as good seed
among our license neighbors. then old
Maine might be induced to try a
crop.
But the whole secret of the license
story lies in the fact that these neigh
bors and their representatives ia
Maine care only to sci. the seed.
The Waldo senator thinks we should
try the rum plan for year. yet he
is one of the few Democratic leaders
who framed up scheme to put upon
Maine constitutional amendment
from which there was no return to
the old seed of prohibition.
That is an old rum trust trick.
When the liquor interests can not get
a whole loaf they take a half or a
slice, but they are eternally scheming
to get another slice. loaf or the
whole bakery il possible.
