"Times" Speaks : No-license advocates excite passion, hatred, and ail uncharitabieness in the community. They divide families and send the people into hostile camps, and the chief feature of the conflict is tho abuse of the publican. In the namo of religion, No-license or Prohibition IS A SfIAM. Dr. Howard Crosby, an eminent divine, says:=== "The main effects of Prohibition where tried, ar^ poor liquor, large prices for it, an increase in the inmates of lunatic asylums, poverty for the farmer, and a system of semi-thievery and diieberate falsehood on the part of the inhabitants and transients, which unfit them for prayer and church-going."

Maine has a smaller proportion of wealth and savings than the liquorselling States, and is more heavily taxed, and her debt has increased faster. These results are due to the loss of revenue and general demoralising effects of the prohibitory laws. Ponder carefully over the facts. Do not let sentiment get the better of judgement. Treat with contempt cunningly worded appeals calculated to arouse envy, cupitidty, and im= charitableness. . Leave the evils -caused by the abuse of drink out of the question for liquor will stiil be here. Note how silent the are with reference to the immense quantities of drink railed into the No-license districts— per railway returns. Above all, study the financial aspect. Many thousands will be withdrawn from circulation. THIS MEANS LESS WORK. LEAVE TIE TOP LINE TWO BOTTd LINES.
