congratulate you on the many auSpicious
circumstances under which you are assembled
And hrst, that you are met on the soil of Maine
the state that by its world-famous law has
made itself an exemplar to all other sta tes and
Mecca to all temperance men. This is the
twenty-tfth anniversary Of the adoption of
that law. Save brief Punishment, from
which it returned reinvigorated, it has kept its
place and withstood the assaults Of its enemies
for quarter of century To day it is more
firmly fixed than ever in the regard of the PEG.
pie and is as strongly enforced as any other
law of the state 1t is the natural product of
thought, discussion, careful legislation and
long experiment. and the people look upon it
as proper and sufficient instrument to accom-
plish the purpose for which it was designed
the humiliation of liquor selling in the state.
1t is no fault of the law if it be called into op-
Grafton sporadically and systematically, as is
sometimes urged against it, and the DIRECTORS
must acknowledge that the spots it visits are
many and its spasms are frequent and ener-
getic. | believe that its prosperity and utility
are steadily gaining recognition, and that in
efficacy it will keep pace with the growing sem
timent in its favor. Experience has demon
strated the faiiacy of the notion that the rig.
or of the law would be unfavorable to other
moral agencies for promoting temperance.
Nowhere else bave social and dissuasive inf1u-
| side by side with this law.
l congratulate you upon the lhealthful opin-
| ion on the subject of restricting the liquor
traffic by law, which prevails to so great an eX-
| tent among the states of this Union and in 9th
er lands as well. All stages of progress have
| their examples among US. Here in Maine pro-
hibition every day OF the year has been long
established. In distant Montana, Gov. Roots
in his last annual message to the Legislative
assembly OF the territory, renews his plea made
| to the preceding legislature for the enactment
of law prohibiting the sale or giving away OF
| Intoxicating liquors on election days. He adj
verts to the humilia ting spectacle of men in
besstly state of beastly lntoxication being
dragged to the polls by designing men, and
without tie exercise of any intelligence above
that of the brute creation, deposting their bal
lots. He ascribes the reckless extravaganza
which has burdened the territory in large
measure to the want of sober ate ntion at the
polls, and declares that no question can be pre-
sented to them of SO much Importance to the
future welfare of the territory as this.
There is much in the signs of the times to
give encouragement to efforts for the relief cul
