MAINE VOTES TO
 ABANDON PROHIBITION

The victory of Democratic candid ate for governor of the rock-ribbed Republican state of Maine by an over whelming majority is tantamount to a repudiation of prohibition as Mayor Curtis of Maine was elected governor on a platform demanding the repeal of the statewide prohibition law which has been in effect, if not actually eff fectual, for 56 years
 For more than half century the state in which originated the theory that men could be made temperate by law, has tried the experiment It has resulted in much drunkenness crime, loss of population and increased taxes. Another distinction accruing to Maine has been the fact that her largest city, Portland, has been lead ing all of the cities of the nation in arrests for drunkenness in proportion to population.

HIGHER TAXES, MORE
 DRUNKENNESS IN w. VA

Prohibition speakers and writers laboring in the Arizona field are proclaiming the unqualified success of statewide prohibition in West Vir. ginia.
 That state did not go dry" until July 1 last, so that it has had it's prohibitory law less than three months. Tn view of that fact 1t is little early to be proclaiming it's success.
 But the news from West Virginia is not quite so joyful. Taxes have been increased despite the promise of the Anti-Saloon League that prohi- bition would lower taxes and drunk enness has also increased.
 A citizen of Huntington, w. Va, writes to the Roanoke Times:
 Our state taxes have been raised from 60 cents to $1 .00 per hundred from $6 to $10 per $1,000. Whilst our city taxes have remained the same, in order to get the increased reevnue, they raised the valuation 16 2-3 per cent, which they estimate would be sufficient to overcome the loss of revenue derived from the saloons"
 This means that the small property owner of Huntington who paid state taxes of $12.00 on property assessed at $2,000 must now pay $23 on the same property assessed at $2,330 and taxed at S10 per $1,000.
 The Huntington Herald-Dispatch of August 25, 1914, says:
 '1n the opinion of Judge Thomas A. Null, openly expressed before the commissioners yesterday afternoon, there is bootlegging in progress in Huntington. Judge Null appeared before the commissioners to advocate the use of some more drastic means in dealing with drunks. As Mayor Chapman explained, the police finds that drunkenness is becoming more common instead of less so, despite the prohibition amendment and the drastic fine for drunkenness, the minimum for which is $25."

PRES|DE'T GOMPERS GOES AGAINST

Writes Congressman Hobson His Reasons for Refusing to Serve on the National Constitutional Prohl- bition Committee.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-Organ ized labor of the United States through it's head, Samuel Gompers President of the American Fedora tion of Labor, has gone on record against prohibition.
 President Gompers received let ter from Congressman Hobson in August notifying him that he had been appointed by the National Prohibition Conference at Columbus to organize the National Constitutional Prohibt- ton committee on cooperation and that he had appointed MT. Gompers on that committee. President Comp CTS reply has just been made pub lie. It follows:

 Your favor of August 21St reached my office during my absence on offl- cial business, and this is the first op- portunfty have had to reply thereto. I beg to assure you that I appreciate the honor of your selecting me as member of the National Constitutional Committee on Cooperation, but I must ask you to excuse me from ac- cepting or serving on the committee. I am frank enough to say to you that I am out of harmony with the probi- bition movement by constitutional provision or statute enactment. know of better way other than by legalized prohibition to secure tenn perance habits,n mot only in the liquor traffic, but in any of the personal activities Of men.
 There Is no movement in all the country so potent to make the people temperate as is the much misunder- stood and misrepresented organized labor movement of the country. h. creasing wages, establishing shorter worday, affecting the opportunities for the cultivation of better tastes, bet ter aspirations, higher ideals, which the better standard of living and free dom of burdensome, long hours of toil vii bring, the opportunity for bet ter homes and surroundings and bet ter working conditions, all of these r repeat have been more potent and will prove to be more potent in estab- fishing temperance and temperate habits than any attempt to regulate the personal habits or to inaugurate prohibition by law

 ONE MEMBER OF BOARD
Chairman of Board of Supervisors Firm in Belief He is Entitled to Seat for Next Two Years Regardless of ElArfian


 Seat for Next Two Years Regardless
 of Election.
 BISBEE, Sept. Although others may have a different opinion, August Hickey, chairman of the board of supervisors, feels certain that he will hold over for another term. MT. Hickey made this statement yester- day afternoon, giving his reasons at the same time for the belief.
 In the first place, MT. Hickey said, the new election law provides for the supervisors being elected from su- pervisoral districts. These districts have never been formed in this coun- try, a hitch having developed in the proceedings sft
 As the districts have not been formed, the election, so far as the supervisors are concerned, is being held under the old law, which pro- vides for the chairman to be the holdover member who will serve with the newly elected board, Hickey argues. a
 50 far as can see, the election will merely result in the selection of two new men and will retain my position,'' said MT. Hickey.
 He made the remark 30 positively and is so evidently convinced that he is right that in any event he may contest the result of the polling, should attempt to elect three super visors be made. His contention opens an interesting question which will be up to the attorneys to discuss and the courts, possibly. to decide.

ENORMOUS sum
PAID TO STATE
in LIQUOR TAX

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 12.-More rev
enue is being collected by the state o.
Georgia in the form of near beer and
locker club taxes than come into the
treasury from liquor licenses before
the enactment of the prohibition law
in 1907 For the first three quarters
Of 1918, the state collected $270,-
1910 in locker club and near beer
taxes. The figures for the last quar-
ter have not yet been consolidated,
but it is believed they will approxi-
mate between $4,000 and $4,000. In
1907, the last year of local option
the state collected $234,28257 from
Igor licenses. For the year 1912,
the clubs and the near beer saloons
paid 1921, 500 into the state treasury,
and the taxes from these sources in
1913, will probably aggregate a
larger sum. During the first three
quarters of last year, the state re,
ceived $3O,3075O from locker clubs
and $24O,15O from the near beer deal
ers. Each locker club pays a tax of
$500 Each near beer saloon, $500
And each wholesale near beer house

OBJECTS To WIFE
SMOKING IN BED
Husband Justified in Failing to Sup.
port Her-SpOuSe's Cigarette Habit
Disturbs HE Rest and Endangers
His Life, Man Alleges

Washington, Pa, Jan. 12.-"If your
wife smokes cigarettes while in bed,
thus disturbing your rest, and at the
same time endangering your life by
fire, and refuses to quit the habit at
your earnest request and constant
pleadings, it is sufficient grounds for
you to absent yourself from her, even
to the extent of failing to provide for
her daily food and lodging"
Such in effect was the ruling TODAY
of Justice ]. F. Carmichael, in the case
of Daniel Fisher, charged by his wife
with desertion and non-support. Tes-
tifying in his own defense Fisher, d.
clared that it was his wifes custom to
lie in bed at night and smoke cigar
cites. Fisher said he not only very
heartily disliked this habit which in
tcrfered with his rest, but he alsa
feared his wife might fall asleep and
let fall lighted cigarette, thereby
causing fire which might well prove
the death of them both.
After hearing both sides of the mat
ter the justice discharged the man. The
Fishers left the courtroom together
the husband again arguing with his
wife and trying to persuade her to
give up her cigarettes, and she fatty
refusing to make any promise in re-
gard to the matter.
