Prohibition in Maine.

Editor Of The Washington Herald: At
the present time when prohibition seems
at the climax of its emotional sweep.
let me call attention to a warning from
Maine. In his inaugural message to the
new legislature. Gov. Curtis. referring
to features OF his party's platform that.
as he put it, speak for themselves" D."
said:
1T Cthe dominant party's pIatform) re-
tterates its belief in temperance. in law
and order, and in the enforcement Of the
law. 1t believes in prohibition where
ever prohibition is practicable 1t believes
that Statewide prohibition in Maine has
proved impracticable. and demands the
submission of the prOhibitOry amendment
to the people. and advocates its repeal.
in order that the city or town may be
substituted for the State as a basis of
laws designed to control or abolish the
liquor traffic"
Let it be kept in mind that this state
ment comes from the Chief Executive of
a great State where so-called prohibition
has been written in the law for over half
century.

The Unprogressiyes

Ono thing the Progressive party never was. 1t
never was progressive. The proof of this is
splashcd all over its record.
The crowning proof is the return of the prodi-
gals at the present hour. Look at the internal
condition of the Republican party! Reaction is
triumphant in it, from everywhere in the United
States to Nermilion County Ill. and back again
1t is an hour when Joe Cannon has been returned
Ito Congress, with Rodenberg and Mckinley
along with him. that Medill Mccormick chooses
for the re-estabshment OF working relations be-
tween Illinois Progressives and the G. o. P.
The Progressves never had the courage oi
genuine progressveness. They remained wed,
ded to the idea of the divine right of special
privilege They stuck to the theory of the right
of one man to tax another for the benefit of his
own pocket They remained Sound" on ths
tariff Why should Reed Smoot and Joe Cannon
and the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat ever give any
man up, so long as he is even approximately or
thodox on Schedule X and the rates on Breei
Littauer's gloves?

gressiveness They did not really care for it
as far as they got. They are going home-not er

THE OPEN FORUM.
Woman Suggests Plank for the Next
Democratic Platform.
January "a. 1915.

January q. 1913.
Editor Washington Herald: 1 suggest
the following plank in the Democratic
platform to take the place Of those
trick mule" planks, kicked out after
the last election.
Oppressive taxation of decent married
women-we Democrats favor a 5000 total
income tax exemption as a reward for
each married couple who do not live
together, and a $4,000 exemption as a
penalty on each married couple who do
live together"
My husband says this won't make
Democrats popular in his home State,
New York. After you printed my letter
i'm The Herald, January l3, / showed il
to every woman l have seen since, and
my husband has showed il to every
person who has come into his store.
Every one thanked The Herald for its
justice and fairness to women.
We have the names of thirty-nine
women listed. including those here in
my home State and the home State OF
my husband, having small incomes who
have to pay income tax because they are
married and live with their husbands
The total income Of one Of these women
last tax year was a S11.46 sick benefit
which she had to add to her husband :
statement. and pay tax on that small
amount. her every possession on earth
I see by your editorial of the sd that
Secretary McAdoO and Senator-elect
Underwood are "standpatters' on this
cruel income tax law. as against i'm
mediate justice for over and unfairly
taxed decent married women.
Dear Herald. won't you help US stOT
crime. or must women be forced by the
government to lie, cheat, and steal?

Penalty of Obeying the Law.

A police regulation provides a penalty for per
mtting unmuzzled dogs to at large in this city.
The regulation is not cnforced therefore it should
be repealed. At present it merely subjects the
well-bred pets of law-abidng citizens to attack
from the roaming mongrels belonging to persons
indifferent as to their fate If the District Com
missioners and the superintendent of police will
take trip in their automobiles through the resi-
Dental sections they will encounter more unmuz-
zled dogs than muzzled ones; and the spectacle of
a lawess cur with jaws unfettered swapping at a
well-kept and well-nuzzed canine aristocrat is not
uncommon The muzzle regulation at present i'm
poses penalty upon its observance and is farcical
in its injustice. Common sense dictates that the
District authorities should enforce repeal it.

Quite enough has been disclosed in the invc,-
tgation of the Santo Domingo scandal to justify
President Wills. MS action in appointing Senator
elect Phelan to make the inquiry. Evidently, his
task is far from ended, The effort to involve
Secretary Bryan, ex-Gov. Glynn, and Representa-
tive Hammill in the Exploitation" of Santo Do
1ningo makes the going to the very bottom of the
affair imperative. No one for a moment believes
that any one OF these officials remotely con-
cerned in the disrrPutable projects which have
been limited at, but they must be vindicated and
those responsible iol the wror gful of their
names must be exposed. One witness has sworn
that another man who testified told him that his
mission in Santo Domingo was to sell second
hand machinery to the government new ma
chinery. 1t would be interesting to hear the
opinion OF the Santo Domincans of their big
ncghbor who so kindly takes charge of their Gus

GETTING A START.
SOCIETY.

a young man.
What is society any way. the society
about which the foregoing was spoken?
Really. ! don't know, and the three big
dictionaries refuse to enlighten me. At
a guess, ! should say that probably the
young people quoted refer to the collec-
ton of persons they meet when they go
out, when they are away from home, at
balls, parties, and other invitation func-
tiOns, and not necessarily to the indi-
viduals whom they visit. Perhaps they
are unfortunate enough to belong to some
alleged exclusive form of society, or to
some clique or collection of conceited
people, who, because they don't know
where they stand, assume to stand for
something about which they know moth
ing.
Thousands, yes. hundreds Of thousands,
of young people have injured their pres
cnts and discounted their futures by
going into what they call society" Yes.
many men and women have sacrificed
their souls upon the altar of society"

cess, with or without the winecup.
1t is a significant fact that our great
merchant princes, our men Of prOdigious

scientists, our men of mark in every
walk of life. care more for sociability
I, for 90 md mt 1N.a in hrUr

natural lives, make friends among their

don't care a fig" whether Mrs. Tone in
vites them to her most exclusive ball, or
whether Mr.. Highbrow includes them in
his list of dinner guests.
Many men Of wealth. and more men
who haven't any, sacrifice the vitality OF
life to get into society" and when they
get in they spend half of their time
keeping in. When they become old enough
to know better they go out into Nature s
out Of doors, breathe the fresh air, and
mentally. and sometimes physically, kick
themselves for the folly of their silly
ambition.
Don't worry about finding YOUR so
Ciety level. Your level win come to you'
and any level you try to reach, which
is either above or below your proper
sphere, is disastrous.

"Hc was removed from the service for the
reason that his efficiency in any useful capacity
in connection with said service was then, and for
some months prior thereto had been, impaired

formed the duties assigned to him very we'll, con-
sidering his impaired efficiency. due to his ad-
vanccd age. His removal was required in justice
to our obligations to the government of the

the Postmaster General and the postmaster of
Washington to the suit brought by veteran of
the civil war to compel his reinstatement in the
government service. Could there be a stronger
argument in favor of a law TO provide for
pensouing and retiring the civil employees OF
the United States than the confession of these
two officials that their duty to the govern
ment required them to thrust this infrm
veteran of the civil war, without resources, upon
an unsympathetic world? The whole story is a

shadowed by the greatly diminished earnings OF

however, the railways have been granted permis-
