Editor Kennebec Journal:
May the new year be fu.l OF true happl-
ness for you and for the men who help to
make your newspaper a power for the
good Of humanity.
May you pen the mighty in rebuhns
wrong and in unfolding the right.
May you help to advance the true well
fare of the people and to cause their de-
liverance from the thraldom Of prevent
able diseases.
The power Of the press is enormous. 1t
can prevail even against tuberculosis. the
most powerful ally Of sickness and death
and the most frequent cause Of poverty.
It can prevail also against the condi-
ton Of almost worldwide warfare that
now epgulfs humanity. The strong in
sistence Of the press OF America upon
the crime of war and upon the necessity
for peace may seem an academic method
OF silencjng 42-centimeter guns, but be-
you not to weary of the task. for you will
win. And winning peace for the world
you will make this really Happy New
Year for humanity.
Very sincerely. yours.

"WilI Bryan Lead It?"

One OF the leaders of the national
movement for prohibition is Malcolm
Rice Patterson, former governor OF Ten
nessee. VINO once vetoed a prohibition
law and who today is one OF the most
eloquent advocates of national legisla.
ton against the manufacture and sale OF
liquor, Without argument concerning
the desirability of such legislation, it Is
well to remind certain contemporaries
that the issue is reaching greater mag
nitude in other sections of the country
than the press in this corner Of the
United STATES are willing to concede.
The South is for national prohibition.
Ex-Governor Patterson asserts that Ken.
lucky. famous for its Whistles. wouid
give a majority of 1900 for prohibition
amendment, ana certain leaders of the
movement insist that Mr.. Bryan Is pre-
pairing to make it Democratic issue In
1916 and to make himself the beneficiary
the Democratic party must not allow it,
self to be identified with the liquor in
terests. but later explained that the IN
dividual states should settle the liquor
question for themselves. However, he
may decide within Il months that the
other plan is better II he does, 1t will
be IN his power to split the Democracy
on the issue of national prohibition. and
that, under certain conditions, ne would
do it.-BOston Journal.
The press in your little corner OF
the United States is lending itself 10
the liquor interests because Of the
handsome returns for fooling the peo-
pie. Under Uncle Sans connection
with the business. the press Of your
state is allowed to daily violate the
spirit Of Maine law in openly bidding
for drinkers. Their pages Of display
advertising circulate side by side with
Maine papers in which the same moral
offense would be criminal and would
call down severe penalties. National
prohibition would put stop to that,
even without the federal government
sweeping the doorsteps of every home
In the land"
In the sixties the North wiped out a
gigantic evil. Today conditions ara
changed and the South is foremost in
assailing the ranks Of the devil. Lin
coin foresaw the overthrow Of the rum
power but he did not foretell that the
strongest army would be modified
south Of tho historical line.
1t may be, as Bryan says, that the
states themselves must, one after
another, fight the battle alone, no:
only without the aid or encouragement
Of the federal government but with its
moral" support going to the enemy
But the day is coming as in the case
of lotteries. when the federal govern
naent, IL it does not protect the homes
Of the land, that it will allow no COM
mercial evil to claim immunity on the
"doorsteps" Of those homes.

The End Of Turkey.
<N>u, vork POST


II ever there was a foregone conciu-
sion, it was the termination OF the
suitan's suzerainty over Egypt, as
consequence Of Turkeys declaring
war. With the Khedive avowing MS
participation with the Sultan in hos
tility to England. the conclusion was
made doubly sure. The statement
issued by the British Foreign Once
yesterday declares that. In view OK
the state Of war arising out Of the
action Of Turkey, Egypt Is placed un-
der the protection Of his Britannia
Majesty, and will henceforth constitute
a British protectorate." The practical
difference between what Egypt will
"henceforth" be and what 1t has been
for a number Of years is one that is
hardly perceptible to the wayfaring
man; but as an outward and visible
sign Of the impending collapse OF
Turkey it is not without interest. The
view generally taken Of her entry into
the European conflict was that It was
an act Of suicide. and this whether
the Triple Entente or the Teutonic
Alliance should come out on top In
the war. The process might be some
what slower in the latter, 1t was felt.
but not less sure. However this may
be- the ending Of her formal suzerain-
ty over Egypt is certainly but fore
taste Of far more substantial losses
which she will suffer II the Powers Of
the Triple Entente win.

The Boston Herald in a recent editorial
upon upon The Bath Shipyards,' mourns the
1ecNne OF shipbuilding in Bath and other
Maine ports. The article notes that in
the year. that ends this week the total
merchant tonnage that has been
launched from the shipyards of Bath
has been but pitiful 1877. making it the
poorest year for the shipyards of that
city since 1879 And the case of Bath
IS typical of the whole stretch Of Maine
coast" remarks the Herald.
The Herald writer fails to note that
this steady decline in American shipping
that has gone on in Maine and all over
the country has been most pronounced
curing the almost continuous years OF
Republican administration from 1870 to
l9l3 and that the present Democratic
Congress is seeking measures to bring
ABOUT the restoration of the lost mer-
chant shipping Of the country.-The
Joke.

emption and the ship purchase bill,

II you lived in a beautiful home and
had within its walls many valuables
and souls dear to you. and one night
nearly every beautiful home on your
street was broken into by thieves,
treasures stolen loved ones struck
down, and the homes themselves seri-
ously damaged, what would you do
early next day?
First of all you would examine the
locks on the do6rs the locks on the
windows, the security of the easements,
and then you would look in the drawer
Of your desk to see If your pistol was
there and if you had ammunition at
hand. You would not Immediately lock
all the doors and windows, take your
pistol, and start in search Of the
thieves who had been operating in
your community bound on killing them
home; but you would make sure you
were prepared to put them to flight It
they returned to the community to at
tack you and yours.
When the gigantic wars burst into
terrible action in the middle OF the
summer of 1914. the thinking citizens
Of the United States very naturally be-
gan to ask: Suppose we should be at
tackled some day; could we resist the
ures, and our homes. or would we like
Belgium be overrun and stand helpless
while the invaders burned our cities
under our very eyes?"
When so many began to ask this
question that an answer was plainly
demanded. Congressman Gardner Of
Massachusetts. undertook to find an
answer. In q coTnmendable, well man
nered way he gathered all the informa-
ton available to Congressman. con-
oluded that we should examine the
locks on our doors and look at our pis-
tolls, and when Congress convened he
presented there in the proper manner
his plea for an investigation Of our de-
lenses. Every right thinking citizen
understands the absolute necessity Of
defending the Union In case Of an at
tack by q foreign. nation. and every
right thinking citizen knows that in
this day the power Of attack Is tre-
rnendous and the powers Of defense
must be equal. Why then should Con-
gresham Gardeners resolutions be
blanketed with scorn by the nations
congressman?
There are many who believe that the
present time Is not propitious for an
Investigation Of national defenses;
they fear public discussion and public
knowledge Of the nations military at
hirs would tend to incite warlike am
tations ana make unsafe the peace Of
