Where Prohibition Was Born.

The New Orleans Times-Picayune
of Jan. 16, publishes the following let
ter which is of Maine interest. In
connection Herewith it should be re-
membered that the International Re-
form Bureau is closing in on the
gamblers of Louisiana and is arousing
the slumbering moral element to throw
off the hand Of the liquor interests.
The letter follows:
New Orleans, Jan. Is, 1916.
To the Editor of The Times-Picayune:
In your issue Of the 14th, l notice a
letter from a Mississippi gentleman.
who, while he enthusiastically eulo-
gizes Mr.. Barrel for his determined
stand for prohibition, claims, however,
that the saloon men and whisky deal
ers are wholly responsible for the is
sue being forced to the front in this
canvass.
1t is hardly probable that intelligent
business men would advance a meas
ure which if successful would ruin
them financially. and for the gentle
mans further information on this
subject l desire to call his and his
friends attention to the following
facts:
Prohibition was born many years
ago in one Of the New England states
Maine. 1 think. 1t was launched and
advocated by the religious and moral
enthusiasts of that state continuously
until they finally succeeded in passing
law which was known as the Maine
liquor law" which was practically

gression) and these very same people
are also responsible for the long fight
against slavery, the formation Of tho
abolition party, the election Of Mr.
Lincoln and for the Civil war. with all
| its attending horrors.
This same element invaded other
states and has ever since continued
the agitation of this question, and are
today wholly responsible for the
prominence the question has attained
in this state.

Rift in Democratic Lutte,

A welldefined, If not a wide, split
has appeared in the Democratic ranks
and there are now two factions, one Of
which stoutly favors the denomination
of Mr.. Wilson. while the other opposes
it. There are few Democratic poll
.ticians who believe Mr.. Wilson may
tail Of denomination. They argue that
the last election in New Jersey
demonstrated that he cannot carry his
own State. that Mr.. McAdoo's politi-
cal activities in New York have
alienated SO large a faction of the
Democrats there as to make the loss
Of New York certain. that Illinois is
assuredly lost to Wilson, and that it
is problematical if even the sending
CT the Democratic Convention to st.
Louis can save that state. =.
They cite numerous western states

Why, "Rlame II on the War!n

Washington, Jan. Excursions reve-
nues dropped from 1888, 100000 in 1914
to $2O5. 100000 in 1915, or approximately
27h percent, according to statement
today by the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce. The decrease is at
tributed to the war, which, it is declar-
ed. operated to cut off imports gener-
ally and especially merchandise from
Europe, the leading source of dutiable
goods.-Associated Press dispatch.
1t is significant that with imports
tremendously increased in spite of the
war. the revenue falls because Of the
war;" Our Democratic friends are
somewhat amusing in their claims of
what the war has done to them. AS a
matter Of fact, but for the war the rev.
enue would have been little more and
this country would have been in sore
distress from the industrial slump
which the war relieved.

Inasmuch as President Lowell an
nounces that for lack Of endowments
the tuition at Harvard has been raised
to SEQ a year, the proposed measure
would seem to be timely. More and

prepared, for his confidence has been
established in Number ones ability to

he said, firmly fastened upon him. He
had quantity Of drug tablets in his
pockets and admitted that for two
years he had been a regular user of
dope" which he had obtained in that
city. He said that he began on
booze but was still "loyap to his
friends" who have been furnishing
the stuff that has ruined him.
Capt. Wood will try to discover
these friends" and prosecute them as
they deserve. The booze and dope
peddling friends" of this young man
have been running other young men at
the same time they have robbed him
of his money, his moral strength, his
responsibility, his physical forces, his
real friends and his job. He is still
'loyal' to them> caring naught that
other boys will follow in his footsteps
unless these friends" of boys who buy
can be put out of business.
Human patience is sorely taxed by
the idiotic ties of the devil which
stand between his imps and mora

In the State of Maine room at the
Falmouth hotel Tuesday evening the
members Of the Naval Militia Asso-
citation Of Portland rendered a fare
we'll dinner to Lieut.s Commander
Reuben K. Dyer, former Bath boy,
and presented him with a medal, the
duplicate Of which has been a gift
to every retiring commander since
the organization was first instituted.
This affair came closely upon the
heels Of Mr.. Dyer's announcement
that he should retire as head Of the
Maine Naval Militia as soon as a
successor was named. Several per-
sons Of note were guests of the as
ISOLATION on this noteworthy occa-
sion, among them being British Vice.
Consul Major John B. Heating, Le-
roy D. Moulton, lieutenant command
er on the staff Of Governor Curtis;
DR.. Eugene Fogg who is being prom
inently mentioned as successor to Mr..
Dyer, and officers of the United
States Navy. These and the members
Of the association had gathered to-.
In a small measure, show their re-
spect and admiration for the man
who has done much to bring the
Maine Naval Militia up to it's pres
ent high standard. In the speeches
which followed the splendid dinner
the various speakers strove to put
into words the feeling of the highest
regard entertained by all toward the
retiring commander and not few
urged that a strenuous effort be
made to induce Mr.. Dyer to recon-
slider his retirement intentions.

London, Aug 6.-Frederick W. Whit

Railway Company and the Union Rail
way Company. of New York, sent to
the Associated Press, to-day from Pit
lochry, Scotland, message denying he
had ever agreed 10 arbitrate differences
with employees of his company.
at is not fact" said Mr.. Whit
ridge, that | have at any time made
any such agreement as you say the
Public Service Commission charges me
with having violated or forgotten
Oscar S. Straus, chairman of the
Public Service Commission, at a hear
ing Friday, charged that the breaking
of an arbitration agreement by Mr..
Whitridge was directly responsible for
the strike in Yonkers, The Bronx and
on the Third Avenue railway system,
which later spread to four boroughs OF
Greater New York.
There is no question" Mr.. Straus
told representatives Of the companies
and strikers, "that the strike is due TO
the attitude and action of President
Whitridge. 1t proves that either he IN
tentionally violated the agreement he
made With his men 10 arbitrate, or that
he was so negligent of his duties as to
forget his agreement TO arbltrate.
