making it less this year than it was
last year
Personally | expect to go the limit

Last year in FL Centre a tax of

The school tax this year will be

"The school rate was 80 cents, of

the kindergartens and 30 cents for the
maintenance of schools.
The bond and interest rate was

cry sincerely yours.
WILBUR F. BERRY.

We have long had suspicion tnat
other newspapers Of the country were
being misrepresented by the un-
ecrupulous liquor interests. We have
good reason to believe that while the
Kennebec Journal is misrepresented
nv the rum trust literature in the
West and South as favoring the liquor
traffic, strong temperance papers in
those sections of the country are set
forth in New England as booze sheets.
We have long known that these
men who make and sell poison to hu-
man beings do not hesitate at any
other crime to promote their money
making business. The wnole booze
business is a campaign against COM
fort, decency. morals and human life.
The great organizations Of the Ma
tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers AS
ISOLATION and the United States Brew
ers Association. with their branches
and allied organizations and tools, are
as relentless and inhuman in their
methods of destroying homes. as has
been the German submarine policy for
the destruction Of British shipping.
They have fewer sane and humane
reasons for their methods. They
create habit and folly by devilish
sophistry and cunning. and capitalize
them. selling the honor. happiness and
lives of their poor dupes for gold.
We can understand why the Ken
nebec Journal is hated and feared.
and why it is lied about by these in
terests and their hired tools. We
have had much to do with the wave OF
Indignation that is sweeping the
country against the whole booze traf-
fic. We expect to hammer away at
the evil until the country throws off
the yoke Of the liquor makers and
sellers We hate every branch and
avenue Of the liquor business as the
standing army Of the devil. We
could be surprised at no infamy which
it might perpetrate; it is capable Of
anything.
They may misrepresent us where
We are not read daily, but the truth
will prevail and we shall be fighting
some other evil when the promoters
Of the liquor traffic are where they so
richly deserve to go.
We have no fear that our regular
readers will misunderstood our posi-
ton, or that the falsehoods uttered by
the rum trust or it's paid sheets will
harm US where we are widely quoted,
but we publish the letter of DR.. Berry
that the people Of Maine may see
what sort Of tricks these men play to
promote their business. In other
words if you see an article favoring
the liquor traffic credited to a distant
paper. you do not know whether or
not that paper ever heard of it. It
may have been prepared at the Gin
cinnati headquarters and sent out to
this section Of the country. as the
Kennebec Journals name is used by
them in other sections.
Our readers will also understand
why the newspaper with which Sena-
tor Burleigh is SO closely associated.
should be claimed by the liquor inter-
ests where the lie is unlikely to be de-
tected. It is part Of their scheme to
fool the country as to the standing Of
Congress on the prohibition question.
