REPoRT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE LEG
IsLATURE ON THE LICENSE Law.
state Of Maine.
In SENATE, March 13.

In SENATE, March 13, 1910.
The Joint Select Committee on the Ii
cense Laws. to whom was referred bill
entitled an Act relating to the sale of in-
toxicating liquors also petition of Samuel
Martin and others, also thirty-six other
petitions, signed by two thousand, four
hundred and eighty one persons, praying
for repeal of the present License Law,
and the enactment of a prohibltory law,
also six other petitions, praying for altera-
tions in the laws relating to the traffic in
intox icating liquors, have had the subject
under consideration, and ask leave to re-
port.
Your Committee consider the subject to
be one of great Importance and great deli
cacy. 1t is we'll understood that verv
large portion of crimes, and consequently
the expenses Of criminal prosecutions, and
the the supper: of our State Prison, and
! County Goals have then origin in the use
of Intoxicating liquors.-lt has been est-
mated that at least seven eighths Of the
expenses for the support Of the poor, ac-
crue directly or indirectly from intemper-
ance. 1t is well understood, that many
diseases originate in, and that all diseases
are aggravated by the free use of ardent
spirits. Then taking into the account the
loss OF property, the debasement of the
moral senslbilities, the distress and blasted
hopes of domestic happiness in families,
and the misery which is entaled upon them
| from generation to generation, and we have
an immense, overwhelming amount Of evil
resulting from this indulgence. Deeply
impressed with these considerations, the
Committee have anxiously considered the
subject with view to determine what fur.
ther legislative action would be advisable
in reference to these evils.
A large proportion of the petitioners
propose repeal of the present license law,
and the enactment Of a law prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating drinks. 1t is under
stood that this proposition originates in the
idea that the present law sometimes sanc-
tions and encourages and legalizes the
traffic. The Committee are of opinion
that this impression is erroneous. Ifthere
were no law upon the subject, the traffic
| would be entirely legal, and SO far as the
law was concerned, entirely reputable.
| The present law prohibits the sale general
| ly, but permits certain individuals to sell,
provided they can obtain the sanction of
the officers of the respective towns, and
are "persons of sober life and conversation,
and Of good moral character, and suitably
qualified for the employment, and also
give bonds in the penal sum of three hun
dred dollars, that they will not violate the
law, and will conform TO such regulations

IRISH SONG ON GEN. HARRISON.

Air-Sprig Of Shillaia.
Success to the man at that place called North
Bend;
Bad luck to the Spalpeens who will not defend
The fame and char-ac ter
Of Tappacanoe;
His heart for his country has ever beat true
Her interest and honor were ever in view,
Whether fighting her battles, or guarding her
pelf,
Sure its little he cared for has own dariia self
For such is the man
They call Tappacanoe!
Sure you've heard of that beautiful pond called
ST. Clair,
And that nate little river that empties in there;
To the Banks of that river
Marched Tappacanoe.
Och there he saw Proctor with all his big troops,
And bastes of wild Indians with scratching and
whoops,
For the scalps of the boys they had sharpened
their knives,
In hopes to make widows of all their swate wives,
And to take off the scalp
Of ould Temperance.
But ye should have been there at that nate little
place,
10 nave seen the RED coats turn the right about
face,
From the brave yankee boys
Under Tappacanoe.
For very so on after they came on the trail,
The d. bit could ye see but the tail,
While those red-looking blackguards without any
clothes.
Showed clane set of heels--an ye well may
suppose,
They got mighty few scalps
From brave Tappacanoe.
Long life to the hero, och sure won't we sing!
Who trimmed the red coats of that foolish ould
King,
Who sent Proctorto fight
That same Tappacanoe,
Success too to Johnson, who fought on that day
And killed that big savage they called Tecumsa--
May each true hearted boy in this land Of the
Whether Yankee or Irish, Just sing out with me
Huzza for the hero
Of Tappacanoe! A. r.

PROGRESS OF THE CAUSE,


At an erthuastc meeting of the friends of Cen
Harrison, lately held at Chicago, Illinois, many
good things were said and done From a report
of the doings we extract the following, to show
our readers sample of the spirit now prevailing
in the entire West.
MIR Case said that he was soldier dur
ing the whole war, and was in every battle
fought On the northwestern frontier.-
(Cheers.) He was wounded five different
times, besides being once blown up--iu the
attack on Little York. (Cheets) After
being tossed about from one General TO
another, he at length got under Harrison,
and was with him at the battle of Fort
Meigs. lCheers.) | thought | was a
brave soldier, said the old veteran; but
when looked on Harrison, felt that he
was Drawer. (Cheers.) l know he is an
honest man too. (Cheers.) When We

horses, provisions and provendeh from thes
people, General Aarrison always ordered
strict account to be kept of it, and know
il was his first business afterwards to see
that these people were paid. lie is

Iippecanoe (Cbeers,) and saw Harrison
riding in the thickest oftbe fight. (Cheers)
That was glorious day for US. and was
the prouder yet because l waded through
the ice and water waist deep to get there.

to love the name of Harrison, to initiate
his valor and his republcanism, and our
country will be safe forever. (Cheers.)

the hard-money countries of Europe the
price Of labor averages about ten cents Il
day, without board-and do you really
think that would be as well for us here,
as the dollar, or dollar and half which
we used to received

cents as good as ten dollars:

we have poor people here, and men and
women too, who want work.

wanted work found employment and got
good wages.
Senator. (Angry) You don't mean
to say that these times have been brought
on by the administration.
Labouer. No don't mean to say that

why our democratic administration should
be going TO Europe to learn how to collect
their revenues. don't like this follow

right in what he said about the Sub-Treas-

knows all about it.

is anxious to lessen the price of productive
labor, for then the cotton of the South will
buy more of the manufactured articles of
the North-but that don't exactly prove to
me that we ought TO be in favor it,
Senator. But you are surely for the
good the whole, are you not!
Laborer. Yes, and for that very reason
| am in favor of that kind OF Legislation that
will effectually advance the interests ofthe
whole, and not break down our growing es-
tablishments in order to bring in the pro-
ducts Of other counties. i say frankly,

cupy. We are placed in position to ex-
ert an influence for good or evil, which we
should not otherwise possess. We are
sent here to act, not for our own pleasure,
but for others. BY throwing the whole
weight of our influence and example in
the scale Of temperance and morality, we
may rescue from the vortex many, who
would otherwise be overwhelmed. We
may brighten up many cheerless and
desolate abode with the sunbeams of peace
and prosperity, and domestic felicity. and
our own happiness vii! be promoted by the
consciousness of doing good.
Whilst, therefore, your Committee do
not rec ommend any change in the laws,
upon the subject of traffic in spirituous
liquors, they do recommend that by our
example as well as our conversation, the
members of the Legislature will discourage
the traffic, and endeavor to dissuade all
within the reach of then influence from the
destructive tendency of indulgence in i'll
toxicating drinks.

Laborer. Since our last conversation,
Mr. Senator, | have been afraid, really,
that we are going to have rather too much
of good thing.
Senator. How so, neighbor,
Laborer. Why, you proved to me that
it was good thing to have the price of la
Dor reduced-that is, you told me the lead
ers ofthe party said 50, and that they are
always right. Now, the price of labor is
SO much reduced, that cannot get work
enough even to earn my bread; and it is
Just SO with great many other folks in
our town. Now isn't this too much Of a
good thing?
Senator. Oh these changes always come
little hard at first--but there's this about
it, they don't work well for the Wings
Have you read Mr.. Calhoun's speech?-
he proves very clearly how the thing will
work.
Laborer. Yes, have. Is this the
same MIR Calhoun who abused Gen Jack
son SO much, and who was called the Cat
aline of the Senate /?
Senator. Yes-I rather think he is the
same. didn't 60 to the iSinil till after
that time, and may be mistaken about it
but rather guess it's the same man.
LabOrer. How happens it that he now
belongs TO our party? Is he any better
than he used TO be2
Senator. No, suppose noi-but still
we couldn't we'll do without him, and SO
we took him as he is. But wha. do you
think ofhis speech?
LaJorer. Can you tell me If this Mr..
Calhoun is the same who studied law at
Litchfield with Judge Reeve!
Senator. don't know much about that,
For myself never had much taste for
the law-did'nt like to study it, and you
know it is not necessary; for our folks don't
think much OF law But to answer your
question: think have heard that Cal
houn did, in his younger days, study law at
Litchfcld.
Laborer. Then he must be the same
man about whom have heard the story
Senator. What story, neighbor?
Laborer. Why, Judge Reeve said one
day, if he wanted to prove that pumpkins
grew on apple trees, that young Calhoun
could do it.
Senator. Yes-yes-he was always IA
smart fellow.
Laborer. Pretty much like my smart
horse, that's broke his harness, and my
sleigh and wagon, and that's got so bad "a
name that nobody won't have him. lie
won't go any way but his own way, and if
he thinks you want to have him, he won't
90 that.
Senator. But how did you like his
speech?
Laborer. Why, he said, did he not,
that the Sub Treasury would enable those
who own manufactures at the North, to
sell their goods SO cheap in the foreign
market as to bring them in competition
with those made abroad!
Senator. Yes and SO il will.
Laborer. But how can this be done,
unless labor is also reduced to the same
condition and price as il is in Europe1
Senator. Well suppose it is-will it not
be just as wel;-for then you will get your
pay in hard money.
