WHY NATIONAL PROHIBITION?
Numerous Arguments for Such Action
Presented.

Numerous Arguments for Such Action
Presented.
Because the liquor traffic IS :. ma
ional curse
Because the nation is d great Union
the interests OF whose citizens are
one.
Because we want every part OF our
nation clean and free from every
moral wrong
We would not be satisfied if slavery,
poygamy or opium traffic were tole
rated in any one OF our states.
IL order TO put our federal govern
ment out Of the liquor business
In order that the federal govern
ment may cease to nullify prohibitory
laws
In order that local and state proht
9tion may become really effective.
The liquor traffic is a constitutional
disease and therefore demands a con
stitltional remedy.
The national government has more
effective machinery for the enforce
ment of prohibition than mas any
state government
Because the liquor traffic Is antago
nistic to the very purpose of our gov
eminent and detrimental to the best
interests of all of our people.
Because we are a great democracy
where majorities rule and the ma
jority OF our people desire National
Prohibition
What sixteen states outlawed as
morally wrong cannot be good for the
people of the other thirtytwo states
Because the United States supreme
court has declared that no man has
a right to sell liquor, the federal gov
arnment should not sell to men a
privilege to do what they have no
right to do.
The supreme object and purpose OF
our federal government is to preserve
The public morals, public peace and
rublic health The liquor traffic de-
stroys all three, hence should be for
Ridden by the government
Our nations best capital Is the
strength and virtue Of her manhood
and womanhood and the liquor traffic
is robbing us OF this.
Our example TO the other nations
OF the world. who look to US for ideals
OF civilization, should lead us, as a
nation, to prohibit this debnuch!ng
traffic that disgraces us at home and
humillates us abroad.-A c. Bane.

HOW IT IS WAY
 DOWN IN MAINE
POPULATION INCREASES SLOWLY IN PROHIBITION STATES
 SAY STATISTICS.

From Gustav Schff. Bridbe 5, Ia mana Valley Railway, we have recei- ved the following clipping from an old New York World of 1913, referr- ing to the conditions in the state of Maine, which is prohibitions:
 BANGOR, Dec. ', 1913-Two great hunts chiefly occupy the attention of Maine and it's visitors just now-the hunt for deer and the hunt for rum, and the latter diversion is by far the more exciting; also the more expen- sive. Deer are hunted legally bet ween October 1 and December 15: the hunt for rum goes on tntermit- tently. If a man kills a deer out of season he is liable to fine of $40 and costs:lf he sells liquor at any season, and the sheriff catches him at it, the penalty will be $100 and costs or 60 days in jail.
 As far as the net result of the two great hunts, exact statistics are diff ficult to get. Already about 2,200 deer have been received at Bangor by rail from the north, and as only about one-third of the rail shipments pass through Bangor and only about one-half the deer killed are trans ported by rail, it would appear that not fewer than 13,OO0 deer were shot in Maine up to date, or an average of 200 a day.
 It is figured that Maine gets about $30,000 year from big game license fees, while the visiting hunters pro bably spend $2OO,OOO in one way and another-camp bills, pay of guides, cost of outfit bought here, hotel bills and taxidermist charges.
 The rum hunt, considered financi- ally, has never been a paying busi- ness for the state. A great deal of money is collected in fines, and at present the fines in Bangor outrun the costs of law enforcement, but in the long run, prohibition Is a very expensive thing for Maine. It per much of the time of the courts, re. quires a small army of officials such as sheriffs and deputies, foments en. dless and bitter controversies and seriously affects all business Maine has had prohibition for sixty years, and in that time the population has increased only about 16O,00O, or from 5S4,O in 1850 to 74O,OOO in 1910, less than 2,70O a year.
 The character of some of the stuff now sold here may be guessed when it is stated that a bottle of whisky thrown into a furnace the other day to prevent it's seizure by the sheriff exploded, wrecked the furnace and singed the bartender's hair and eye brows.

Washington Free PreSS.J
 Ten years ago Seattle was pretty decent sort of place to live in. The city had a fine civic spirit. The fair movement was working its way to a brilliant continuation.
 Boosters were as thick and as busy as bees when the honey flow is good.
 Whether we were in Boston or Key West, Galveston, or New Orleans, we met these boosters and felt the warm ing spirit of new Titan in the Pa cific Northwest.
 The mere mention of Seattle's name provoked a smile of confidence and hope anywhere in this broad and beau tiful republic.
 It is different in 1916. Something has happened to us. Probably we are not quite undone. But there is a vast change in us. If our spirit is not gone, it is at least tagging. We go about our several tasks heavier of heart than we were in the happier days of ten years ago. We feasted on smiles then. Now we scowl and scold our way through the little doings of each day. We moved about with bouyancy then. Now we nope and drag our feet, and sigh, and cringe in the presence of untoward con ditions.
 Things are not right here. Some thing is lacking, and it is vital some thing, too, for it is holding us back and keeping us from assuming the position on the Pacific destiny in- tended we should assume.
 Money is not coming in as 1t did ten years ago.
 We have more idle men.
 We are not doing as much now as we did then to boost Seattle along.
 We are halting at the behest of men who have no vision, no imagin- ation, nothing more substantial than an exalted opinion of their own opin- ions, and a wholly false conception of the needs of humanity here and elsewhere.
 When are we to come out of this mental and moral stupor which is sapping our hopes and wrecking our fortunes?
 Soon, surely soon; for we can not long endure the blighting influences of this wrecked period in Seattle's history.

RULES FOR THE UNFORTUNATE
(From Life.)

(Erom L1fe.)
 Many people start out in life not knowing how unfortunate they can be if they only learn how early enough. The following rules will be found of great benefit.
 Go with unfortunate people. They will not only carry you along in their own atmosphere, but they will inspire you to do unfortunate things you probably would not have thought of without them.
 Have faith in unfortunate happen ings. Remember that every streak of good luck is bound to end.
 Look downward, not upward; side ways, not straight ahead. Have a grouch.

Simple Laxative Compound
Helps to Correct Consti-

With all children there are times
When the bowels fail to act naturally
and it becomes necessary for the par

tics and purgatives should never be
used as these agents afford only tenn
porary relief while their violent action
shocks the system unduly. Mrs. Eva

Watervillle.
Rev. Arthur S. Phelps, D. D., spoke
instructively on The Young Man
Problem" after which Mr.. Hudson
gave the closing address Of the con-
vention on Winning Them One by
One"
At the final business session of the
afternoon Rev. Horace B. Sellers Of
Belfast was reelected president, L. NJ.
Binford of Saco and Mrs. Henry w.
Brown of Waterville were chosen vice
presidents, Harry Potts Of Lewiston
was elected recording secretary. Miss

On evangelism-Harry Potts Of Lew
iston, Rev. P. A. killam of Oakland,
Mrs. Edna Morse of Saco.
The tenor Of Mr.. Hudson's closing
address was evangelistic. IF you
should convince me out of this Bible
that there was no Heaven, that there
was no He'll, that there was no here
after, 1 should still be Christian be-
cause Of the joy of saving souls" he
declared.
He told story Of man who came
into his store in Syracuse for whiskey
tumblers. The man ran the worst place
in that city then numbering 10000 in
habitants. 1t was not only saloon but
it was a dance house, gambling place,
but worse. 1t was the resort of thieves
and pickpockets, and had been raided
time and time again by the police.
He told the man that he did not have
the whiskey tumblers for sale, and as
he went out of the store mumbling to
himself, Mr.. Hudson called him back.
Have you got the tumblers?" the
man asked mo" said Mr.. Hudson, II
have not got the tumblers: but there is
something you need more than whis-
key tumblers, and that is the love Of
Jesus Christ in your heart" The man
jumped back as if startled at the I'M
expected reply. Mr.. Hudson invited
him to come to church The man scot
fed at the idea, saying that nobody
would look at him or speak to him: bur
