PROMOTES PROSPERITY.

Constant reiteration of the false
statements of liquor advocates has un-
doubtedly led some persons to the
conclusion that Maine is suffering and
has been impoverished because of It's
prohibition policy. A careful and
truth-seeking investigation will show
the exact opposite to be me case.
A bulletin by the United States GEN.
sus bureau reviewing the 80 years, pre-.
ceding 1912, shows the steady advance
ment of Maine in financial independ-
ence. In 1880 Names per capita
debt was $S.49, as contrasted with an
average of IL states of SEAS. In 1912
1t has been reduced rs per cent, and
the average of the other states only SO
per cent. Maine now owes $1.67 per
capita, while the other states average
1892. Massachusetts, with her high
license system, which the liquor advo-
Gates say Is the best license law In
the world, has per capita indebted
ness over IS times larger than the pro-
hibition state of Maine. The general
comfort Of the people of Maine Is
manifested by the large percentage of
homes owned free from debt. In 1910
the total number Of homes owned was,
according to the census report, 109,-
29S, and rs per cent of these We're free
from mortgage.

BUTTERFLY FALsE."y

In search of the facts concerning
the claim of the brewers that beer is
liquid bread" the Christian Advocate,
leading periodical of the Methodist
Episcopal church, wrote to the director
of the laboratory of the Connecticut
board of health, asking for scientific
statement. The unabbreviated reply
was as follows:
Editor the Christian Advocate: In
reply to your note will say that 1t Is
hard to conceive q more misleading
statement than to call beer liquid
bread The facts are that the grains
out of which beer is made do contain
a deal of nourishment. adapted both
for fuel and tissue building. Ia the
process of beer-making the materials
are mostly destroyed and removed by
the process of clarifying. AS result
the final product has lost practically
all the tissue-bullding material 1t ever
contained, and most of its fuel food
has been converted into alcohol, which
has less fuel value, to say nothing of,
its poisoning effect upon the nervous
system. Before the fermentation the
material might possibly be called
liquid Bread but not after the fer
mentation and Qualification; for these
processes have destroyed nearly all
the value 1t originally possessed. The.
final product has no tissue-building
value, only little fuel value, and in.
addition has poisoning action upon
the nervous system. Bread has large
value as a tissue builder and also as
fuel, and In addition has no bad eff
feet upon the nervous system. To
cali beer liquid bread is therefore ut
terly false and badly misleading.

GOOD OF PRoHlsfrloN.

1.-The plea that prohibition fails to
prohibit would be quite valid II itcould
be shown that any license system sue
ceeds better in regulating the liquor
traffic. Police administrations fall
down in the attempt to restrict illicit
selling Of liquors in any community
where the traffic Is licensed. Prohi-
bition does throw the business into
thoroughfares of the saloons and re-
moves from the sight of the young,
who are taught that the business is
outlawed and disreputable. The.
drunkards for which it is incidentally
responsible die off rapidly. for they
are. tempted to drink the worst and
most powerful connections. Prohibi--
ton may kill the poor miserable tip
piers, but 1t tends to preserve the mid

RECORD TRIP is MADE BY A
 MAIL AUTO FROM COAST

FAIRBANKS.-Two days and nine hours from Valdez to Fairbanks, stops included. is the record established by the mail stage which reached Fair banks last evening at 6 o'clock. The stage waited in Valdez until the mail had been taken from the steamer Ala meda, and then left with all the first class mail that the vessel carried for Interior Alaska.
 Leaving Valdez at 9 o'clock on Monday morning, the stage came through to Paxson's with Erickson at the wheel. From Paxson's to Fair banks, Hill was in charge of the ma chine.
 The trip was without incident. Two way passengers were picked up at PaxSon's.
 This is a new record. Grover Frame established the record between Valdez and Fairbanks some two years ago. It has never been broken by one ear and driver, but for elapsed time between the two towns, the trip made by the mail is a record breaker.-Ex.

RUBY PAPER DEFENDS
 COLONEL RICHARDSON

Ruby apparently has the same old political fight against Colonel Rich ardsOn that every other camp where Delegate Wickersham is strong has to put up with. The Ruby Record-Citi- zen, which has always boosted Wick ersham, comes out in a long editorial in its issue of September l6 showing that the fight against Colonel Richard son is due to partisanship for Wicker sham, just as it is everywhere else. The following is part of the editorial in question:
 "The town of Ruby wishes and the creeks lying back of it imperatiyeIy need a trunk road to connect with the government railway; and through the working of various influences the Al aska Road Commission is considering the building of such a road, and now. at the very commencement Of the work We regret to find the partisans of our present delegate to congress attacking the road commission in con  nection with the work.
 An engineer is in the field with a force to determine the feasibility and route for an extension of the Ruby-Loug road to opbir and all the work is being pushed rapidly to com pletion. Whatever our grievances may have been in the past. we have none this year against the Alaska Road Commission nor against Col Richardson. and We are mindful that after five years of importantly ana necessity our delegate to Congress waited four years to introduce his first bill to relieve our distress. and We deprecate and dep,ore this atttack

 SOMMERS. The above telegram was received yesterday by Ward Estey disbursiug officer for the Alaska Road Commis- sion. and his reference to the survey for the Ruby-Kuskokwim highway. Surveyor R. A. Jackson is now in the field and intends pushing the prelim- mary survey as far as possible before severe cold weather sets in. This will be a hard blow to the skeptics and may induce them to become boosters. That the Road Commission is sincere in it's efforts to give good roads to this district there is no pos sible doubt. and a boost from a unit ed community will not be amiss at this time.
 It will be noted that the money allotted for the survey is additional, leaving the S7O,OOO to be expended on the Ruby-L Long road.-Ruby Record Citizen.
