Hold Man Under
$500 Sureties

Portland, Me-, April 13.-Probable
cause was found by Judge Merrill for
holding George E. Barbour for the
grand jury for the May criminal term
of the superior court, on complaint
alleging obtaining of money by false
pretence, and bail was fixed at $500.
Sureties were not obtained this morn
ing, but court was suspended until 4
F. NJ, when bail was furnished. Judge
Merrill announced his decision when
the session of the municipal court
opened this morning. The evidence re-
lating to the case was heard Friday
of last week and the hearing occu-
pied almost the entire day. The argu-
ments were made Saturday. The al
legation is based on the declaration of
Joseph E. Hollywood to the effect
that Barbour, who was manager of the
T. L. Merrill Co., pretended to him
that the outstanding indebtedness of
the company was $260764, wherein
in truth and in fact the outstanding
Indebtedness was $780, Hollywood
claims that the purpose of the allsg-
ed Misrepresentation was to induce
him to purchase stock of the company,
and that he did purchase 81 shares
and later IL shares.
Hollywood's purchases gave him a
controlling interest and recently the
company filed voluntary petition in
bankruptcy.
Barbour is a stockholder in the COM
pany and he did not dispose of any of
his stock to Hollywood.
The 81 shares of stock were pur-
chased by Hollywood, Dec. 26. 1913, and
the figures showing the outstanding
Indebtedness and financial standing of
the company supplied to Hollywood by
Barbour at about the time of the pur-
chase were based on the treasurer's
report for April, 1918, which Barbour
claimed were the only figures availa-
BILE.
The case was pre- secuted by County
Attorney Samuel l.. Bates, who also
delivered the argument for the State.
William A. Comedian was counsel rep
resenting Mr.. Hollywood. Defending
counsel were Col. William C. Eaton
and Charles q. Quincy, Esq.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE


 The saloon is the chief and most au- dacious laWbreaker Of the age. It is the arch destroyer of all that is dear to man.
 It is sleepless, restless. unsuitable, mighty.
 There is but one power in the land that is stronger and that is the church
 If the saloon is to be overthrown the church must overthrow it.
 Will she?
 The question is one of purpose, not ability.
 She can do whatsoever she will in this all-important work.
 The service which the church has all ready rendered in antasonism to the saloon is not by any means to be dis paraged.
 On the contrary. it is to be acknowl- edged as Well-nigh invaluable. More than all other agents. she has rescued perishing inebriates and soft ened the hearts of those who were fore ing their brothers down to drunkards' graves She, more than anything, or more than anybody else, has created the sen timent which rules dramsellers out of respectable society, and places drunk ard making in the list of crimes. Nearly all of her denominations have cried aloud against the drink traffic, and have denounced it in unmeasured terms; and some of those denomina- tions nave so legislated that none of their members can lawfully buy, sell or use as beverage the deadly liquid All honor to the church for her war fare against the saloon
 We give to her great credit and thankful praise
 Unquestionably she has been, and still is, in the van. Nevertheless. We are persuaded that. before she can fully accomplish the great mission to which we believe God has called her she must take a much longer step in advance. and strike far heavier blows. Her forces must be thoroughly and permanently organized and, combined with kindred forces, must constitute the opposition.
 The foes of the saloon must unite against it's friends
 j-The issue must be fairly joined Tue saloon has long carried the black fhg.
 l ElIenceforth the church and her allies in, this particular warfare must carry iYtoo,
 .Thf battle must be desperately fought, and the field of battle must be the field of politics.
 This opposition must enter that field just as did the opposition to the ex- tension of slavery. and it must remain there until prohibition. like freedom,
Arizona republican., 1914-08-13

shall become an accepted doctrine against which no party shall dare to speak
 From every organization that sym pathizes or compromises with the rum traffic Christian men should separate 1 themselves and unite in an organiZa- | tion, every member of which shall, at all times including election days, and i in all places, including the polls, and with all powers. including the ballot, stand against the giant evil of the day. The voting clergymen and laymen Of the church must become unit on this i great subject at the ballot box-the point at which they Lave been divided
 in the past, and are divided now. Here is a difficult problem. 1 But it could be solved, and it would
 be solved were it not for the strength of political party ties, than which noth- ing on earth seems to be stronger. 1 Prohibition measures are good, but alone they are not sufficient. They
 need to be enforced They cannot en- force themselves.
 l As well might we, at the very outset,
 ask that they carry themselves into ef- | feet 't The strongest cannon may be accu-
 rately aimed, but it will never harm 1 the enemy unless there be some friend | ly hand to apply the spark. | Of what avail will be a Maine law
 if rummies are elected to enforce it? What benefit can result from even
 cons titutional prohibition so long as
 Christian men vote for candidates who are out of sympathy herewith, and
 who will, if elected, wink at the viola | tion thereof?
 l Saloonists will defeat if possible, all 1 prohibitory measures. But if, in spite 1 of them prohibition is enacted, they will redouble their energy and open wide their purses for the election of their friends. that the law may be made dead letter.
 They know full well that even though their business be forbidden by l the law. they will be able to prosecute i it just the same if they can only place Tn office men who will violate their paths.
 Oh. for the coming of the time when the power of the saloon to elect whom soever it will shall be challenged by the church, and when the church, in greatness of her strength. shall march forth and trample this boastful. this wicked Goliath beneath her feet, When once the Christian voters form and execute the determination to vote only for pronounced and proved prohi- bitionists who stand upon unequivocal
 prohibition platforms the end will be at hand-and the saloon will go, May God speed the day, JOS. N. FITZGERALD. D. D.
