Edgar F. Hanson Defeated In
Vermont.

Edgar F. Hanson of Belfast, Maine,
who has been speaking much in Vermont
of late in behalf of the liquor interest,
was announced to speak in the City Hall
at the Capital of Vermont, and his chal-
lenge was given for any man to meet
him in joint debate.
At the solicitation of the friends of
Truth, Rev. DR.. William Shaw, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, accepted
the challenge, and gave Mr.. Hanson
what he richly deserved. Dr. Shaw met
squarely and triumphantly every argu-
ment Mr.. Hanson put forth. He was
dignif ed anu courteous, but he flayed his
antagonist without mercy. Mr.. Hanson
was unable to prove his statements, or
to answer the tremendous arguments
hurled at him, and when his bluff was
called he clearly revealed TO the great
audience that he recognized himself
defeated man. He was so shametully
worsted at every turn that even the
friends of his cause were so greatly hu-
inflated that they would not reveal
themselves with applause Or support. At
times the crowd burst forth in treman-
dous applause in support of DR.. Shaw,
man thoroughly known and greatly re-
spected both in the city and the State.
In support of the liquor traffic, Mr..
Hanson feels called upon to mallgn his
CITY and State. The man who disgraces
the city of Belfast by proclaimlng him
self as it's ex-mayor, may yet have to
seek employment with some other or
ganizatlon.
He had himself introduced as an expro-
hlbitionist. (Coud it not have been eek"
one or two things with much more pro-
priety?) He told of giving his time and
money for the cause Of Prohibition. until
he learned of its hypocrisy and evils.
He described the State of Maine as hav-
ing been going to hell for seventy years
because of Prohibition.
If men could only believe the lilywhite
certificate of character which he writes
for himself, then any thing would be pos
sible. Without doubt certain distin-
guished men in Maine would be glad to
have Mr. Hanson use a little better Eng
fish when he reads their letters in public.

The late Marcellus j. Dow of Brooks
had been . contributor TO The Journal
for more than forty years. During the
ten years that he was lecturer and or
ganizer for the order of Good Templars,
travelling extensively in Maine and
OHIO States, he wrote many letters to
The Journal over the signature of
"Brusoue," and later became our regu-
lar Brooks CORRESPONDENT, continuing as
such until incapacltated by illness. He
was firm believer in advertising a
town as we'll as for individual enterprise
and through his correspondence Brooks
became widely known for its enterprise
and the unity of effort which has char
acterized its people. His efforts in this
direction can hardly be overestimated,
and were tarreaching in their results.
He will be sadly missed in his home
town, by the readers Of The Journal at
home and abroad, and by the writer,
who loses a personal friend of many
years.

ago his grandchildren restored the jewel to
the lodge, with the request that it should be
presented to the retiring past master.
