Why Neal Dow Began His Prohibition
Campaign.

To-day General Neal Dow celebrated
his cightieth birthday in a quiet man
ncr. He is still very vigorous, and
probably has lost nothing of physical
or mental strength within the past few
years.
Mr.. Dow was teetotaler from early
youth. The custom Of offering wine
among refreshments at social parties IN
Portland was largely put down by him
and his two sisters, who, the first of all
in that city, entertained their friends in
large numbers without irtOXicants. He
was drawn into the warfare against the
liquor traffic accidentally.
There was lady well known to Mr..
Dow and his family, whose husband, an
educated man, holding an important
public office, was a dipSOmaniac. This
lady sent for Mr.. Dow one day and told
him that her husband was away again
on a time. Mr.. Dow went to a certain
rumshop where Mr.. Blank resorted and
told the rumsellcr the whole story, en-
treating him not to sell the man any
more liquor. The rumseller replied:
''lt's my business to sell rum, and l
have license for it. I'll sell to any
body who asks for it who has the money
to pay for it. l support my family by
selling liquor
Mr.. Dow Indignantly replied:
''Its your business, then, to sell rum,
and you have a license for it? You
support your family, do you. by de-
stroying other peoples families
Heaven helping me, FL change all
that!''
Mr.. Dow led Mr.. Blank, home, ard
from that day commenced an active,
persistent, unceasing warfare agai1st
the groG shops. Innumerable meetings
were held all over the State, in small
towns and villages as well as in large
towns and cities, everywhere denounc-
ing the liquor traffic. When public
opinion was prepared for the overthrow
| of the grog shops, rs Mr. Dow supposed,
he prepared bill entitled: IAN act for
the suppression of drinking houses and
tippling shops" His friends said it
was too radical. He went to Augusta
with his bill in his pocket, had public
hearing in the Representatives hall be-
fore joint select committee, which
agreed unanimously to repo1. the bill
without change. The next day was the
last one of the session. That night Mr..
Dow had his bill printed, it was placed
on the desks of the members early in
the morning, and on that day was
passed through all its stages to be
enacted, and went into effect OF its ap-
proval by the Governor.
Within six months the jails in five OF
the counties were empty, as we'll as the
