Editor Kennebec Journal:
There you have what rules in poll
tics the world over. A man who never
changes his mind is no good: he is as
dead to progress as the Modes and
Persians or as bigoted as Uisterism. A
man who is loyal To- his country, his
church, his party and his conscience is
good enough for any cause. Bossism
is leadership too pronounced. 1t is
bound to rule OF ruin in some in
stances. but in governmental affairs
and in the carrying out of party poll
cies 1t is absolutely necessary to have
leaders. What would forty to fifty
thousand opinions of the common herd
amount to as to who should be presi-

\ BombshelI for the Vets.
portland Press)

The "wets" of Charles county, Mary
land, as we'll as those elsewhere In the
United States, who have been working
overtime calling attention to Cardinal
GibbonS's interview on prohibition
when he was in New Orleans. have
just received great shock, for the
cardinal has expressed the hope that
Charles county will go dry at the cleo
ton to be held May 16. He says In a
statement on the situation that he be-
lieves in the right of the people to de-
termine by the operation OF local
option law whether saloons shall or
shall not be closed within their re-
spective communities, this being IN
line. as he contends. with the Ameri-
can principle of self government. But
at the same time he sees the danger
present when the saloon Is legallzed,
and he continues: Realizing the dam
age that has been done by the liquor
traffic in this country, sincerely
trust that at the coming election they
(meanjng the voters, of course) VIII
Danish forever the licensed saloon, as
I believe that 1t will be to the best in
terests of their people" This decia-
ration, coming not so very long after
that made in New Orleans ana so
gratifying to the opponents OF prohi-
bition, is sure to prove veritabie
bombshell in their camp, and 1t Will
be interesting to note what comment
they have to offer on it. To be sure,
there are some local optionists VINO
are not in favor of licensing the liquor
traffic, but who believe that every vot-
er should have an opportunity to reg
lister his opinion on the question and II
will therefore cause them no worri-
ment, but to the folks who want the
saloon and use the local option argu-
ment as a sort of cloak. 1t is undoubt-
eddy going to be the cause OF no small
amount Of grief. They had made con-
siderable capital out Of the New Or
leans statement. just as some over
jealous advocates of prohibition had
seized upon every opportunity to at
tack the cardinal. and now both are
treated to surprise that may set
them to thinking for some time before
they have much to say about the ex-
pressed desire that Charles county go
dry.
