D. r. Locke, Petroleum v.
Nasty" has just finished a series Of
articles in the Toledo Blade illustra-
tive of the workings Of the Maine
Liquor law. He comes to the con-
clusion that prohibition does pro-
hibit, saying: Prohibition has kill
ed the rum mills but it has built up
every other business.
It was bad for the bar-keeper, but
it proved the salvation of the butch
er. The real estate dealer who OPP
posed it at first are its most staunch
supporters now. The men who
were in the business did not lie
down and die. Such as would work
found there raj something in the
world to do besides rinsing beer
glasses, and they were compelled to
60 and do it. Those who would
not work left the state, to Names
eternal gain, and better men came in
to take their places.
Instead of ruin to Portland, pro-
hibition has been the making Of it.
No city ever prospered by a business
which degraded its population.
There isn't a respectablep erson
in Portland who would have the
law repealed, not one. It'll upon the
women that the curse Of drunkness
falls most heavily. They know the
difference between drunk and sober
altogether too well for them to quar-.
rel with any thing that lessons the
drunk and increases the sober.
Talk to a wife about "per sonal
liberty" and !" the right to do as
one pleases," and all that sort 81
rubbish, and she simply points to
her children.
The Maine law has brought up
thousands Of children to be good,
useful men who, but for it would be
in the gutter. The Maine law has
given thousands of families good
clothing who would otherwise be in
rags.
The Maine law has transformed
thousands of besotted brutes into
good husbands and kind fathers.
The women Of Maine care nothing
for fine-spun reasoning as to the alb
stract rights Of the the thing.
They are very practical. They
know the difference between hun
ger and plenty. They know the
difference between q kiss and q
blow:
They are the staunchest, sturdiest
and most determined supporters Of
the law.
It is to them the Difference be-
tween : cold hearth and ! FIRE in
the CRATE. It is the difference be-
tween light and darkness, warmth
and cold, food and hunger. Rum
rule gave them the Inter, the benef-
osnt hand Of the present law givs
them the former.
