For a Maine Forest Reserve.

Senator Burleigh Of Maine, and
Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts, have
taken up with the National Forest Ser
vice the matter Of a forest reserve in
Maine. 1t is a subject in which most
Maine people are deeply interested, and
IL is 10 be hoped that Senator Burleigh
and others will persist in their activ:-
ties until something is done to set
aside large tract of land in Maine
where natural conditions will be pre-
served, so far as possible, for the de-
light Of coming generations. 1t is a
debt we owe posterity. Some day our
childrens children will revert to his
tory and bless the names of those who
made it possible for them to gain
some understanding Of what present
generations enjoyed Of the real living
forests.
Under the Weeks law, about $4,000, :
0e0 will revert to the Treasury, July 1,
unless provision is made on some Of
the pending supply bills, for its reap
preparation. Already Senator Calm
ger Of New Hampshire, has given no.
tice of an amendment to make this
100000 still available The govern
nent was unable to spend this sum be-
cause too little time was given the
geological survey. to make examina-
ton Of lands in the White Mountains
for certification. 1t is doubtful if the
Gallinger amendment is passed, be-
cause of the mighty surge Of economy
that is now sweeping over Democracy.

II advocated. and appeals strongly to
those who know the picturesqueness Of
this beautiful region Of Maine. Tho
Congressman had hoped by some
amendment to secure an appropriation
under the Weeks law, but because of
this referred to wave Of economy, this
seems to be an unfortunate session in
which to advocate such legislative en-
terprises.

The Ship Purchase Bill Fight.

Of seven Democratic senators. The
White House is in gloom over the sit
uation, albeit the President is keeping
stiff upper lip and insisting that all
will come out right.
The seven recalciirant senators are
an interesting study. They are O'GoF-
man Of New York: Hitchcock Of Ne

Of Arkansas: Bankhead OF Alabama;
Hardwick Of Georgia and Eardaman Of
Mississippi. a part Of these are hard

Republicans now and then. But such

one might think. The outcome has
given the minority a spirit and courage

We note that in the testimony be-

Major Harris, the general treasurer Of

Gated. as he has before, his opposition

and interposed once or twice, when
Chairman Fitzgerald offered a sugges-

Alabama Is One Ahead of Us.

Both houses OF the Alabama Leg
islatUre, Wednesday, passed over the
governors veto bill to prohibit news
papers published in the state from
printing liquor advertising, and to
prevent circulation in the state, Of
papers published outside Alabama, if
they carry such advertising The new
act also prohibits liquor advertising
by circular. by board display or other
wise. II goes into effect at once.
The Maine law should be strength
ened along these lines.
Boston booze vendors parade their
wares in Massachusetts papers that
circulate largely in this state. Thous-
snds Of Christian homes in Maine are
invaded and insultcd many times
every year by the circular advertis-
ing and sophistry Of the booze makers
and sellers. We have no redress.
Here is the point: In the recent fight
on prohibition in Congress the uqpor
interests made their strongest plea
by parrot-like repetition Of the polit-
zeal subterfuge Of Woodrow Wilson.
that it is a matter for the states to
settle fer themselves. In that case
why must a state submit to the brazer
violation Of the spirit Of her laws by
the people Of other states? Maine
papers cannot publish liquor
advertising. yet out-of- Estate papers
can take the money from booze whole
salers for violating the law that re.
stricts Maine papers.
Is that letting each state settle the
matter for itself?
Does it make you feel real kindly
toward the business of drumming up
rum trade. when you find your child
rem looking over the glazing promises
and bargains Of the booze crowd, that
have come in with other mail?
Advertising of any kind of booze,
like the advertising Of any other ar
ticle of commerce, is for the purpose
of interesting new buyers and increas-
ing sales.-creating new appettes, If
You please. That is the part Of the liq-
uor business which we wish to see WHIP
ed out, and we propose to 80 on arous-
ing the people to the real meaning of
the liquor business a mighty organic
alton devoted to the one and only
purpose Of converting your boy and
ours into drunkards.
