The latest report is that Maine went "wet." If Maine went "wet," then,
according to the argument of the "wets," Maine will be "dry" in the future.
Because if prohibition made Maine "wet," anti-prohibition will make Maine
"dry;" to an extent, at least. That is why all the whiskey interests of the
country fought and prayed and spent their money that Maine might go
"wet;" they were selling too much liquor in Maine under the prohibition
law; they wanted to sell less. That is what they are In the business for; to
sell as little whiskey as possible. That is why they roam all over the coun

An exchange says: "It costs a coun
try newspaper money every time it
takes a stand on any question. Al
most any citizen besides a newspaper
man can do without injuring his busi
ness. If the editor advocates improve
ments the sore heads go after him and
sometimes Btop their paper. If he op
poses improvements the progressive
sort get on him and call him a back
number and a knocker."
There is only one way for an editor
newspaper—print to
please himself, and in that way he
will come nearer pleasing the public.
The editor who attempts to please
to publish a
©very one, or who pays any attention
to the "kickers" will please nobody,
for what pleases the "kicker" today
I will offend him tomorrow.
Go on and print what you please,
j.if you believe it right, regardless of
consequences. Pay no attention to
the "kicker,* for as a rule he has no
the less you will be injured. No-
body listens to the "kicker," or cares
aught for what he says. He is a
chronic growler that is generally look
p d upon as a public nuisance.
The "kicker" usually has his nerve
about him, and would not hesitate to
criticise the sermon of his pastor, and
tell him of the mistakes he makes. He
thinks he knows more about editing
a newspaper than the trained journal
ist, and Is willing to offer gratuitous
and unsolicited advice. He knows all
about politics and sees the errors that
the old leaders are constantly making.
Ho don't like the decision of courts,
and is ready to prove that the judge
made a serious mistake in this or that
decision. He criticises State and city
officials, their public and private acts,
and does not hesitate to declare that
! certain of them should be impeached.
1 But this nuisance generally winds
up his street dissertations by jump
ing upon the editor, when absent, and
roasting him for advocating this meas
! ure or condemning that, all of which
shows that the "kicker's" opinion is
not worth a continental, and that what
he says is only a discharge of natural
gas, without its Ruminating qualities.

IN A ROSE GARDEN.
A hundred years from now. dear heart,
We will not care at all.
It will not matter then a whit,
The honey or the gall,
The Summer days that we have known
Will all forgotten be and flown;
The garden will be overgrown
Where now the roses fall.
A hundred years from now, dear heart.
We will not mind the pain,
The throbbing, crimson tide of life
Will not have left a stain.
The song we sing together, dear,
The dream we dream together here,
Will mean no more than means a tear
Amid a Summer rain.
A hundred years from now, dear heart,
The grief will all be o'er;
The sea of care will surge in vain
Upon a careless shore.
The glasses we turn down today.
Here at the parting of the way,
We shall be wineless then as they,
And will not mind it more.
A hundred years from now, dear heart.
We'll neither know nor care
What came of all life's bitterness.
Or followed love's despair.
Then fill the glasses up again
And kiss me through the rose-leaf rain;
We'll build one castle more In Spain,
And dream one more dream there.
