Why can We not have our pie and
eat it, too? Why do our old friends
resent 1t when We neglect them in an
effort to win new? This is a funny
old world. anyway, but the funniest
thing about it is our divergent views.
We think some other fellow is crazy
or dishonest. and he thinks we are
foolish or mean. And, nowadays, If
man tries to measure his course be-
tween the extremes, carefully scru-
tinizing the way in the vain hope of
being fair to everybody. he is imme-
diately denounced as conservative
in manner and tone to indicate the
contempt in which he is held.
But, after all. human nature is hui
man nature, and the rustlers who are
pushing things must remember that
their plans are not the only thing on
the map. There are others, and those
who are potent in affairs. In spite
of this progressive" lambaste-and-
ombard-everythine age in which we
are living, the old adage make haste
slowly" is just as good advice as ever.
No matter what your aim, you can't
please all, as the Waterville Chamber
of Commerce will see when they read
the following:
To the Members of the Chamber of
Commerce, Waterville, Maine:
We. the members of Sidney Grange,
p. of H.. No. 1874, wish to protest
against the stand taken by your
committee mt the State Road hearing
held in your city on Oct 10th last,
in regard to the summer tourist
trade coming by the way of Belgrade
being of equal Importance to the Wa
terville trader as the local trade, ana
wish TO respectfully call your atten-
ton to the fact that the summer in
terests do not furnish you with profit
able business more than three months
of the year. and your success in the
past has not been due to interests that
furnish three months trade in a year
but rather TO interests that furn'sh
YOU with twelve months trade every
year.
We also wish to protest against the
spirit displayed by your committee III
saving that the local trade they had
anyway but the summer tourist trace
can only be gained by having good
roads.
Sidney, bounding your town on the
south. has always been large rae
tor in the trade of the WaterViiie mer-
chants and it seems to ps that our
interests did not receive proper con-
| eideration from you :.
In consideration of the above II
saen,s ia MS to be for the best inter

| of Sidney to divert their trade TO fiiioi
appreeiative channels when 1t is possi-

FRS. Gun for National Restraint.

Next Sunday, Nov. 9, more than
schools of America will sign total
abstinence pledge II will be the
opening gun in nation-wi cam
paign for national prohibition. II
will be the first real beginning of a
mighty organization with the object
of suppressing the liquor traffic in
this country. IT is the development
of the demand for an amendment 10
the federal constitution that viii take
the Il. s. government out of the rum
business.
If YOU do not ia vor this doing away
with the worst of a great and grow
ing evil, have you thought why?
1t may do you good to question
yourself sharply on this point: "Why
do | wish to retain any part of the
liquor evil?"
You do not doubt that is an UNI
mixed evil. You are learning every
day that the old EXCUSES are being
obliterated one by cne.
We no longer drink alcoholic
"stinulant'' to keep out the cold" or
to mitigate the heat. Science has at
last awakened and is attempting to
undo the evil Ii has done by encour-
aging self Indulgence by permitting
to treat its ills with
nerve deadener that caused them to
lack of realization for cure.
Alcohol is narcotic poison and is
more dangerous than the virus of the
rattle snake, because it affects vastly
more than the victim bitten. Its poi
son in the veins of the father bIights
the life of the wife and mother and
sends his children on the downward
road of poverty, disease and crime.
II you wish to retain this curse in
ANY degree you have some selfish
purpose to serve. There is no getting
away from that fact. You think more
of your own little desires and appe-
tiles than you do the welfare of the
world to come. those near and dear
To you included.
II you are opposed to national law
that will prohibit the manufacture and
and sale of intoxicants.
you are a moral coward trembling be-
fore the effect of an attempt TO enforce
a restriction of the passions of the evil
strata Of all society, or YOU are a
hypocrit pretending to believe that
vice can be best controlled by letting
1t have its own way.
II you are opposed to national pro-
hibition, you had better secretly ask
yourself few honest questions, and
see what your inner honest nature
tells you in private.
