Enforcing The Maine Law.

A State which makes liquor-selins
for drinking purposes crime, if it,
prohibitory law is reasonably well en-
forced, is likely, as compared will
other States wherein liquor selling
is a Legitimate business" to have {
record of large number of crimma
prosecutions. This is illustrated by the
experience of Maine. The Lewiston
(Me.) JOuTHW of the I'd ult., in com
mentlng upon the annual report of the
encouragement of Maine for 1884
says: 'Iu the 1445 criminal prosecu
tons in all the State since the last New
Years day, there are fourteen sorts O.
crime-and of these more than one-half
or SIS, have been for violation of the
observation-disclosures which in most OF
the States do not count at all" 1t adds
"Of the other offences there has been
but one prosecution to every thousand
population" When, therefore, the
statement, which appears periodically
from the enemies of prohibition, is
made, to the effect that Maine has an
exceptionally large number of criminal
prosecutions, it must always be remem-
bered that large proportion of them
are law-breaking liquorsellers whom
Maine sends to the penitentiary, but
who might very likely, in liquor-license
States be made aldermen of, or sent to
