MAINE MAKES THIS
HONEST CONFESSION

The oldest prohibition state in
the union is Maine. Therefore it is
interesting to read what a news
paper in "dry" Maine says about
the recent election in Vermont, in
which prohibition was defeated by
a vote of two to one.
Vermont was "dry" for many
years, but after thorough trial of
prohibition returned to local OPP
ton.
Here is what the Augusta (Me.)
New Age has to say regarding the
second victory of the Liberals:
The recent vote of Vermont in ia
vor of local option is something in
regard to which the ramrodders of
Maine have but little to say.
The most significant feature
about II was the fact that the towns
which habitually vote against the
saloons gave the largest vote for
local option.
These towns prefer to remain dry
themselves but they co not insist
that other towns with entirely diff
ferent loca! conditions shall remain
dry. They are willing to let each
town make its own police regula-
tons.
That is the Vermont idea.
Here in Maine Fayette, Wayne
and Rome make prohibitory laws
for Augusta. Gardiner, Hallowell
and WsteTviIIe, and Buxton says
what end how 6iddleford shall
drink.
The Elaine cities and the country
towns 4, well would be better Of
If Maine loud decid de to be honest
on the rum question and adopt the

Boys Got Drunk.
Around the bicycle tracks the boys
repeatedly asked for dip" 1t was
at the Philadelphia track that an in.
vestigation was made and much to the
surprise of the cycle racing crowd a
considerable number of the boys were
found lying under the track practical
ly unconscious or in a hilarious state
1t was found that the effects of
shifting the gasoline dipped rag
brought on a Jag" and in many in
stances resulted in serious illness for
the young lad. From that time on the
gasoline cans were guarded and the
boys were driven away from all of the
tracks 1t was learned later that, UNI
able to secure their dip" at the bicy-
Gle tracks, the boys sought the head
quarters where gasoline could be OBJ
tanned, and there secured the petrol.
Publicity given to the fact resulted in
barring the boys there and in that way
the habit was broken largely.
