il il is good for one day in the year,
why not for every day in the year.
WHY not keep cleaned up"
WHIT is the reason why the city of
Augusta does not Systematically col
lect and regulate waste and the dump
ing of rubbish These unsightiy.
health menacing dumps are a blot on
tho. good name of any city. City pride
and good example is a breeder of gem
eral civic pride and neatress and care
by individuals. Let us hold the gain
we haze made.
And now, while we are on the sub
leet permit us to make a few sugges-
lions Would il not be a good plan 10
limit the clutter of sidewalks partic-
ula,ly where walks are narrow and
peoi - lighted? The weman who t5;rS

boxes OF dry goods drummer's trunk
never forsives the city.
Aeain the bicyclists who make regu-
lar and persistent use of the sidewalks

class is not confined TO children by
any means, and the worst offenders
seen to be unaware of any breach of
ordinance or public convenience.
Once mere, would not few salutary
lessons put q stop to the dissusansiy
common custom in this city OF teams

watching the people who pay the taxes

These things are small and simple by ,

What About Maine Demonstration

Al the 18th annual convention of the
" g. T. L. of Cumberland county,
Wednesday, Mrs Deborah Knox Liv-
ingston Of Bangor said that the ehief
foe to the granting of suffrage to Wo-
men was the organized liquor traffic.
She said that the liquor dealers had
beer detected in contributing to the
fund of the anti-suffrage movement,
they had defeated the granting of the
ballot to women in Wisconsin and
Michigan and they controlled the press
Of the country through their neWspa-
per advertisements.
We wonder if Mrs. Livingston has
forgotten what defeated woman SUI
frasc in the last Maine Legislature
| the organized Democracy of Maine,
that would not allow TIE question to
go to the people we wonder if Mrs.
Livingston has forgotten or if other
sutfragists can forget. the friendiness
| of this same Democratic organization
| for organized liquor traffic.
If these things of only a few weeks
ago are forgotten, we fail to under
stand why Michigan and Wisconsin, OF
| less fragrant abuse of the suifraglsts
are remembered. It seems to us THAI
| the thing for Maine w. G. T. T. ant
woman suffragists to keep in mind i;
| the hatred and unyielding opposition
of the Democratic party Of Maine
financed and controlled by the brew,
ers and distillers and Wholesale booz'
concerns.
