THE MAINE ISSUE.

1t matters little now what the plat
forms of the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis of Maine, yet to be built, may say.
The issue has been made, and next Sep
TENDER the voters of Maine are to decide
whether the State shall be turned over
to the liquor dealers and brewers or
remain steadfast to prohibition, under
which it has prospered, morally and
financially. The Democratic leaders have
SO decreed. This year they must go into
the campaign Invested of the false pre-
fences which in 1910 deluded many, in
GLIDING a considerable percentage of
their own party, who would not know
ingly sanction the turning the State over
to the enemies of law and order, the
destroyers of homes and of all that
makes for good citizenship.
For years we have heard the parrot-like
declaration from Democrats that while
opposed to prohibition they believed in
enforcing the law so long as it remained
on the statute books. Their candidates
have so pledged themselves on the stump;
but if elected, save in very rare in
stances, gave the lie to their pro-
fessions. Strange as it may seem, under
these circumstances, many Republicans,
as well as Democrats who are opposed to
the rum power, voted for the Pattangall-
Plaisted administration in 1910 under the
deusion that they were to have the pro-
hibitory law enforced as never before
that Maine was to be made Gas dry as a
covered BRIDGE One element was not
fooled, and that was the rumselers and
woud-be rumsellers. No sooner was the
result of the election known than bars
were opened all over the State and they
have since continued to multiply, until in
many places the conditions are worse
than ever before in the history of Maine
That the Democratic campaign of 1910
was financed by the liquor dealers and
brewers has been openly charged and is
generally believed. That the special
session of the legislature was called in
their interest can hardly be doubted.
The address of the Secretary of State
before a brewers convention is further
evidence of the unholy alliance between
the Pattangall- Plaisted administration
and those who would corrupt the youth
and destroy the manhood of our State.
What do the people of Maine think OF
the spokesman selected by the Demo
cratic leaders to present their case
against prohibition at the special session
of the Legislature, called in the interest
of the liquor dealers and brewers? He
boasted that he was elected on rum
ticket" He villifed the dead and ira
auced the living. He was blasphemous
to a degree never before known in a
legislative body. But was he not a fitting
representative of the present administra-
ton and of the interests behind it?

keep away from short cuts TO
greatness and beware Of bargain
counter educations in your Brepara
ton for llfe." said Dr. J. NJ. Carroll,
president Of the Baptist university as
his parting Injunction to the eleven
graduates who received their diplomas
last night from the hand Of W. fl
Ramey at the tenth annual high school
commencement exercises. DIR Carroll
made one Of the strongest pleas for
preparation before beginning work
that has Ger been delivered in the
city.
The man who has an education has
five hundred chances for success that
the man who is ignorant has not, de-
clared Dr. Carroll. IN his argument
for literary training Dr, Carroll said
in part:
Technical training. normal school
training and business training are all
good in their place, but literary foun-
dation work is the necessary basis Up
on which all great lives are built. Take
time to prepare. It is not the length
Of the time you live in the world but
how you live"
The speaker cited the lives OF John
the Baptist and Jesus Christ as great
lives that were made great by few
short months Of service and in con
trast told that one Verse Of scripture
tells Of Methuselah, who lived 969
years.
Ambition, conservation Of effort de-
termination, stick to-it-iyeness, fixed
ness Of purpose and whole hearted IN
terest in your work were a few Of the
important facts that were given to
the 1912 class as passports to sue
cessful lie. It is a day Of specialist,
declared DR. Carol, and the man who
centers his best efforts on one partic-
lar vocation will succeed. said the emi-
nent educator. AS an illustration of
dormant powers awakened, the condf
tlons in Japan we're graphically de-
scribed before the enterpfising people
were awakened and the results OF the
awakening detailed. The first quail
fication Of a teacher must be the pow
er to inspire the pupils that come un

Get ready for your life work, think
