 Suppression or the manufacture and sale of alcohilic beverages is the only adequate remedy. Temperance so- cieties attract comparatively few, and are efficient only as long as their members are stimulated to a sort of moral intoxlcatlon. High license di- .minishes the number of saloons but not the quantity or the liquor drunk not the amount of drunkenness. And then, too, license is, in 0 way, to ap- prove; ana wise and good man can not approve the liquor trafiie. What ever restrictions may be thrown around it's management the Ameri cen saloon is, and must continue to be. so long as 1t shall be tolerated, nuisance. It's influence upon indivi- dual, domestic and national life is wholly evil As to the right or the state to prohibit, there can be no question, since the right to suppress crime involves the right to suppress it's cnier cause."-Bishop Spaulding Of Peoria. III.
 e,snop F. J. Carrigan, Sioux City
 Tt is quite evident that the saloon is great menace to society, and does not intend to be governed by state laws, city ordinances or police con trol. It boldly defies law and con of God and man, leads on it's process sion or unfortunate victims to tenn poral and eternal destruction. It is cause for congratulation that we have among us an organization of private citizens which demands obedience to our civil laws from the saloons, and compels respect for lie and morals by exposing it's criminal methods before the bar of justice and punishing by fine and Imprisonment the guilty law breakers"
 T am not a fanatic on this ques- tion, but l am a minister of religion, and my mission is to teach men right morals and to lead them to the knowledge of God, and thus save them. I must confess that in my thirty seven years of experience in tbat mission the greatest obstacle to my success has been the saloon"

the national guard is at a standstill
and that it has been so for many
weeks. In spite of the uutmost dill
gence on the part Of the recruiting
officers, the ranks of the guard are not
up to war footing. nor is there any
likelihood that they will be. So long
as the guard remained at home, this
fact was daily in evidence. If the
guard is all transported to the Texas
border, this fact may be lost sight OF.
Consequently, the guard goes to Texas.
Happily however, the mails are still
going back and forth between Texas
and the home states of the guard;
happily, the telegraph lines are still
in working order; happily, there are
several alert and conscientious news
paper correspondents down there with
the boys-and by these means the folks
back home will continue to know that
the courageous fighting youth of the
country have no confidence in this ad-
ministration and they do not intend
to enlist under the misleading provis-
ions Of the Hay army bill in order to
help out the administrations political
fortunes and to fill the pockets OF
Texas suffers who are fringing the
edges of the camps down there.
The guard men may be out of sight
of the folks back home, but they are
nv no means out of mind. The trans
portation of the men to Texas, though
meant as a cloak for another failure
Of the administration, will prove too
thin a subterfuge.

at. R." has been in Maine and dem
onstrated that he can turn out an en-
thusiastic Maine crowd, even II the
Progressives Gas Democratic politi-
clans claim are all Democrats, and
the Republicans all intending to stay
at home on election day.
Dan" Moulton, the Lewiston drug
gist who has been on Lisbon street
for So years, said: II have seen moth
ing like this spirit since the Blaine
campaign" Other Lewiston business
men were confident it was the biggest
political show ever staged in Maine.
Colonel Roosevelt may be loved or
hated, approved or discredited, fol-
lowed or disbelieved, but he has a way
of saying things that goes home to
the common sense of the American
people. Probably nowhere is true
Americanism so perfectly typified as
in Maine and in the same degree it is
probable that nowhere are the quail
ties of moral fiber, virile manhood.
and clear-eyed grasp Of Americas
problems so thoroughly appreciated.
Colonel Roosevelt appeals to Maine.
Who but Teddy could have sent
home to every hearer the exact mean
ing Of the expression which so exact
ly describes the whole Wilsonian farce
in Mexico: Mr.. Wilson "halts between
feeble peace and feeble war" There
Is the whole story of indecision and
vacillation that has made war and
cried over it; made a sickening pre-
tense and called it peace; made war
on single irresponsible individuals of
another nation, and accepted humili-
ating insults from other foreign in
dividuals equally irresponsible.
The Colonel said: Peace continues
to rage as furiously as ever in Mex
ico." And President Wilson did not
merely kiss the hand that slapped him
in the face. He kissed that hand when
it was red with blood Of American
men, women and children, who had
been murdered and mutilated with, as
President Wilson, through his Secre-
tary of State, says, ruthless brutal
ity.'"
Indeed his address was filled with
gems Of thought, each a tremendous
indictment. Here is one of the best:
." "a policy which has been an OPT
ate to the spirit of idealism.'' And
then turn this over in your mind:
"Ameriea as nation has been official.
Iy kept in a position Of timid indiffer-
enee and cold seIfishness."
These expressions are not only
Rooseveltian but they have put into
words the very feelings which the
people have been trying to formulate
in their own minds so as to be des-
cribed. For instance, it is the unim-
FASHIONED statement Of fact recognized
by every intelligent. unbiased person
that. as Colonel Roosevelt said:

Campaign Courtesy

President Wilson is to be in Ken
lucky making a speech on the fifth of
September. On that same day Mr..
Hughes was scheduled to speak in the
Blue Grass state. Through courtesy
to his opponent, the Republican candi-
date has cancelled his date in Ken
lucky and will not seek to share hon
ors with the President.
This is campaign courtesy such as
might be expected from man like
Mr.. Hughes. We hope Mr.. Wilson ap-
preciates it.
Mr.. Hughes has pitched the keynote
Of his canvass in the upper register.
1t is doubtful if higher level Of cam
paign oratory or of effective appeal
to the intelligence Of an electorate has
ever been made than that with which
Hughes has won the West during his
present speechmaking tour. And it
will be so to the end Of the chapter.
Yet courtesy will not prevent-has
not prevented-him from seeking out
and penetrating the open joints in
Wilson's armor. With the same
searching ruthlessness which kept him
so keen upon the scent Of corruption
during the gas and the insurance in
vestigations in New York 10 years ago,
which gave him his first broad repu-
tation and which led him directly to
the governors seat at Albany, Hughes
to lead to a revelation Of the admins
tration's weakness or folly. This is
fair politics. Hughes will observe the
amenities Of the campaign-but he
will not pad his blows.

How Do They Strike You?

Let every citizen answer these ques-
tions for himself. They deal with
facts. Mr. Manley has put his finger
on a political sore, in a letter to the
Maine Farmer:
AS the Federal Farm Loan Board is
for the benefit of the farmers, one
class, only. of our people. do you
think it fair that the salaries and ex-
penses of the board, its farm loan reg
istrars, examiners, attorneys, employ
es, ETC., etc, should be paid by the
United States, which is by all of us?
Do you think it fair for the United
States to issue it's bonds, the principal
and interests of which. all of us must
pay, to raise money to lend to farm
ers. one class only?
Do you think it fitting and proper
on the eve of the most important cleo
ton Maine has ever had, for the ad
ministration to send it's Farm Loan
Board to Maine to advertise the Won
derful benefits this Democratic legisla =
ton will bring to farmers, together
with a highly specialized press agent
who had previously distributed his
eulogistic copy broadcast through the
state? All this political advertising
being at the expense of all of us.
Which knows more about the real
farmers in Maine and the conditions
they have to meet, State Master
Thompson or the editor of the Water
Vile Sentinel?

Editorial Comment
Hughes Delights San Francisco
(San Francisco Chronicle, Ind.)

(San Francisco Chronicle, 1nd.)
Whatever happens, it is safe to say
that Governor Hughes will not forget
the reception given him by San Fran
sisco, in which it Is fair to say a good
many of his political opponents took
part. From them it was a tribute to
the personal worth of the man as one
fit to be President of the greatest re-
public the world has seen.
But to the Republicans who COM
prised the mass of the multitude which
thronged the Exposition Auditorium he
appeared as leader, long hoped for
and sought, unwillingly descending
from the bench of an august tribunal
to lead them through paths of sanity
wilderness.
The impression which Governor
Hughes conveys to those who meet him
or hear him is Of a man Of great men
tai strength and clear vision, inspired
and directed by soul overlooking with
good will toward all the world.
Of one not quick to reach conclusions
on questions of Importance, but reso-
lutte and infexible in adhering to them
when once formed.
OF one who is not a phrase maker or
lusting for the notoriety which comes
from tickling the public ear with fetch
ing words which may mean anything or
nothing, but who states in plain lam
guage his views on public policies, with
an executive record behind him which
assures that when charged with the re-
sponsibility Of office his action will be
in accord with those views.
For example. while we do not know
just what he would have done, with all
the information which a President
would have before him, when President
Madero Of Mexico was murdered, we do
know that whatever he did would have
been done through recognized official
agencies and not through secret ennis
saries working at cross purposes with
the authorized representatives, and
would have been in pursuance of an
open, dignifed and definite national
policy, carefully considered and inflexi-
bly, followed
In his Auditorium address Governor
Hughes discussed the issues of the
campaign clearly and effectively in in
cisive language not obscured by mean
ingless rhetoric.
We know he is a protectionist and
will favor protective tariff so framed
as to do justice to all American inter-
ests and confer special favors on none,
but do not know what particular duties
would favor for any particular industry
because he has not had the evidence in
any case before him.
And, besides, we believe he will be a
President who will recognize the duty
as well as the right of Congress to in
itiate legislation and perfect its de-
tails.
We hope Governor Hughes is pleased

He who would save his life
His life must lose!
He must be willing to pour out -
His blood at every crossway,
To suffer for the sins of others,
To bear their shame,
To lift their woe,
To kiss the rod!
He who would win love
Must be willing to lose love-
The love made Of roses, and beauty,
And youth!
He must be willing to tread
The wine press alone.
To know scorn, ignominy,
Defeat, and death!
He who would know honor
Must not honor seek.
He must renounce life's baubles,-
Riches, and power, and glory.
He must be willing to be nothing.
His only aim
A life Whole hearted, afraid of naught,
And full of kindly deeds!
He who would find God
Must renounce himself!
His petty aims, and dreams,
His low ambitions,
And his worldly thoughts;
He must lay aside the weight
OF self-seeking. and seek only
The highest Good of all!

In a recent issue of the Millinocket
Times is the rather unusual head,
WANTED: A Wife" The item below
this head goes on to relieve the sus-
pense of the reader by explaining that
one of the young men who left on the
harvest excursion intimated that part
of his mission was to search for wife
in the Northwest. He frankly stated
that the Millinocket girls wanted only
good time and thought too much
about dress. He is in search of nice
buxom everyday girl who can perform
the necessary duties usually associated
with the maintenance Of a household.
AS he himself is man of extraordinary
large stature he prefers a girl Of the
larger type but this is not absolutely
necessary. For further information in
regard to this young man the Mill
nocket Times says address their Office.

species of Lophius and better known as

at Temple Heights, Northport, in Penob-

place. This fish weighed some SO
inches long. Long-year residents of the

seen one Of these fish in scores of years
and the great many have neither seen
or heard of one.
