All experience shows that no law can be
adequately executed unless it is favored by
public opinion and sentiment; and many have
been prevented from giving their aid and in
fuencc 10 the passage of such a law as the
Maine Law, lest public mind and feeling were
not prepared 20 give their earnest support to
its execution. Every successive experiment,
however, has gone to prove that the great
mass Of the people are entirely prepared for

are interested in the horrid traffic, or whose
particular friends arc SO interested. Hear

operation of the law in that State we give the
followin extracts from the Detroit papers We
think that if the law is carried out in Detroit,
it is likely to be iU the rest of the State.
The LIoUoR LAw.-This law took effect
this morning, and we believe that nearly OF
quite all the grog shops in the city have clos
Z ed their doors, and those who have not done
so, we suppose will shortly receive a visit
from some official of the famous Carson
League. Some Of the saloons and casinos,
after being closed, were hung in black mour-
ming for the loss Of their occupation. There
appears to be general feeling pervading al
T. classes that the llw shall be obeyed; still. We
suppose the "striped pig" will be discovered
in more guises ;han one.
We learn that operations in this line have
already commenced, and that lot OF severa

which was branded vinegar" on close in

found snugly ensconced in the innocent vine.

The MAINE LAw.-The proprietors of the
Biddle House. National Exchange, Andrews
Railroad Hotel, and, we believe, nearly all
the hotels Of any responsibility in the city,
have closed their bars iu compliance with the
existing law This is light, and we are glad
TO SEQ the law so generally and cheerfully
complied with. We notice also that most o!
the grocers of any standing. who kept open
bars for retail. have closed them. We hear
of bat few who are not willing to obey the
law. Some few attempted yesterdy to disre-
gard il, but were promptly prosecuted as
soon az the evidence was known. We trust
the law viii be obeyed and enforced so long
as il remains a Law. = Detroit Advertiser.
