MoraIity's Rapid Advance.

In the dispatches of Friday morn
ing's papers we find the news Of third
blow to the liquor interests within
few days. Congress has forbidden the
shipment of intoxicants into prohibition
states, and the U. S. Supreme Court
has upheld it. Then the U. S. Senate
passed the bill prohibiting the sale Of
LIQUOR in the District of Columbia, and
the National Capital is fully expected
to go dry" except for the intoxicants
brought in in the skins of those who
visit wet" outside territory And now
comes the prohibition of transmission
in the mails of liquor advertisements or
circulars, newspapers or otherwise into
states which prohibit such advertising
or solicitation.
OF course the interests Oiquor and
allied immoral forces) will continue to
shout: Unconstitutional" Personal
liberty" "Hypocrites!" "Sumptuary
law" rights Of business" Need of
rum revenue!" Local self govern
ment," Home rule!" etc. But the
country is awakening to the true
meaning of the practices Of John Bar
ley corn and his henchmen. Every day
we have new evidence Faster and
faster the new proofs come. We see
now near at hand, a realization OF the
dream of comparatively few years
ago. When the few daring ones began
to claim that national prohibition was
on the way, this nation and all Europe
scoffed. Even the friends of local OPP
ton and state prohibition turned away
in disgust because fanatics were In
juring the cause by their silly claims"
But national prohibition is not only
possible Of attainment it is now recog-
nized as an economic necessity; 1t Is
bound to come, and come soon.
In this hour Of rapid awakening to
the most monstrous Of all evils, it be-
hooves the liquor interests to cast about
for some other, and an honorable busi-
ness. 1t is not for us to care for them;
they have long fed on the blood and
honor of our people. Their arrogance.
their heartlessness, their INSCRIPTIONS
methods, their open defiance Of the
laws of God and man, have driven ev-
cry spark of respect or feeling for them
from the people. But for the sake of
those employees who have accepted the
manual part that some must and would
do. let the makers and sellers Of booze
prepare, for the country is awake to
the truth and the end Of booZeism is at
hand, just rs sure as light dispels dark

Editorial Comment
The Governor and Prohibition.
ellsworth American)


Governor Mlliken, in his pre-elec-
ton campaign, came out plainly and
unequivocally for the enforcement of
the prohibitory law, though he can
didly admitted that he did not know
how he would bring it about. He has
evidently given much thought to this
matter since election, and as was ex-
pected, his expression on this matter
was one of the prominent features of
his inaugural message.
He asks the Legislature to give the
chief executive of the State the tools
to make his efforts for enforcement
effective. He recommends the adop-
ton of constitutional amendment
giving the governor power to remove
a sheriff for cause after notice and
hearing, and the enactment of stat
ute comforting the same power in the
case OF county attorneys.
Given this power, there is no ques-
ton but that Governor Milliken would
exercise it to bring about real pro-
hibition in Maine. TT Is necessary"
he says, that every local official
charged with the enforcement of the
law should know that, regardless of
supposed local sentiment, his failure
to do his duty faithfully will bring
prompt and certain punishment in
Guiding dismissal from public office
The present method of dealing with
this situation is tedious, bungling and
expensive"

and principle with its INSCRIPTIONS
tools.
The country has awakened to this
truth. the policy Of the kennepec
Journal for years has been to drive
home these facts. We believe that
these acts in defiance Of decency and
restraint needed to be set fortn TOT
the public consideration. The people
knew hut thew had become entranced
or dazed by the volume of paId-for
"evidence" of the rights" of ''neces-
sary evil'', of personal rights ana
personal liberty, and they were over
whelmed by the voluminous denuncla-
ton of "sumptuary law, of the "hyp-
ocrisy". of any and all who dared raise
their voice for better things. Some pa
pers of our State reeked with sophistry
and deceit, the product which power
full organization furnished its muoth-
pieces. The papers that believed in
prohibition were bull-dozed and
sneered at, if they said a word. Even
their friends, especially those in the
political game, called around to tell
them that they were Overriding" the
thing: that people were tired of pro
hibition talk" (but never tired of booze
talk) and that they were simply stir
ring up the enemy to greater activity.
We decided to buck the tiger-the
blind Tiger and the Argus-eyed vul-
ture; to arouse public indignation by
simply calling the peoples attention to
the facts that were apparent to all.
Day in and day out, in season and out.
in spite of abuse and ridicule, insult
and threats, we have hammered the
INSCRIPTIONS methods of the liquor
traffic and it's guilty allies. We have
not preached temperance, but we have
been a large factor in changing the
sentiment in this State in the last five
tyears. We had and still have, an
| abiding faith in the overthrow Of the
| liquor domination; and 1t is only nee
essary to tell the truth about the traf-
f1c itself.

Maine Gossip

Here is an example Of some book
keeping" recently noticed at Lewiston:
A man purchased a piece of property in
September, 1913, and in 1914 paid the
taxes. In 1915 and 1916 no tax bill was
presented and the owner did not pay.
Last spring the owner moved to Port
land and in October, 1916, sold the prop
erty. The real estate man, DESTROYS of
seeing that all was right for him to
warranty the property, made inquiry
to find if any taxes were due. He was
informed that no taxes were due. The
last owner CHANGED to go into the city
building and found the property adver-
tised for sale for taxes. He also found
that the same property was sold for
taxes in the name of the first owner
last year.
