Drum Sn1uuoIinu."

The State of Maine, by constitution
and statute prohibits the sale OF
LIQUOR. The city of Boston, under Il
local option law, issues licenses for
the sale of liquor at retail and whole
sale.
Licenses issued by the city of Bos-
ton are not intended to and do not
cover the transportation and sale oil
liquor in Maine or any other state.
1t may be argued that there is no
legal barrier, as far as the licensing
board is concerned, to the sale OF
liquor anywhere, under any eondl-
tierssg outside of Boston, by those
holding Boston licenses.
1t is not probable that the licens'
ing aboard, as at present organized
will take that view. 1t is more prob
able that the board will decide That
any man, firm or company, licensed
in Boston, which deliberately vio-
lates interstate laws and the law u
other states, would not hesitate to
violate Massachusetts law If given
an opportunity.-B Boston Traveller.
Impossible. Only men of high honor
to sell rum under license arrange
ments. The license board takes care
of that and rum trust law Is never
violated The intoxicants that are
being smuggled into Maine are mann-
featured en- route from styfehnlne,
cheap tobacco. gasolene, prussic acid
and adders virus. If you don't be
lieve it. ask the Waterville Sentinel ~
Biddeford Record. 1t costs too much
to smuggle good stuff
Just where our Boston neighbor got
the notion that rum firms in Boston
were smuggling poison into Maine is
more than we can understand. The
Traveller has done rum trust. law a,
grave injustice; and these honorable
gentlemen who deal in the nectar OF
the license regime, would never, never
sully the trust which the public has
placed in them.

The Pepperell Manufacturing Com
pany has accepted plans for the con-
struction of great hydro electric
power plant at Union Falls on the
Saeo river. This development will
give 10.000-horse power and the cost
of the plant is estimated at $1,000,000.
A year or two ago when the Peppereli
bought something over 5000 automatic
looms, at a cost of close TO $1,000,000,
the expenditure was made, but with
out making any appreciate differ
ence in the annual financial statement
of that corporation. The Pepperell
is so rich that it can spend $f,o00,oOO
without showing it. The biggest en-
gneer in hydro electric developments
has said that any hydro electric de-
velopment at 10,000-Eorse power and
above is economical. Therefore, the
new Pepperell plant comes within
that. The Pepperell can get all the
money it wants at per cent. A
fair charge against depreciation and
upkeep for a power plant of this
kind would be per cent. There
fore, this plant will cost the Pepper
ell. say 100000 a year, that is. at the
rate of $40 a horse power. The best
that the Pepperell could do with a
steam driven plant would cost $25 a
horse power or $250,000 year. 1t is
by efficiency along such lines as this
that the Pepperen has become the
greatest cotton manufacturing con-
