New York World correspondent who
claims To have been travelling in Maine, oh
serving the working of the Prohibtory liquor
law, gives it as his opinion that the law has
proved failure, and predicts that within
three years its repeal is almost certain. The
general sentiment throughout Maine, the cor
respondent says, voiced by elergymen, bush
ness men, farmers and others. is that Pro-
hibition is failure and ought TO be repealed
In favor of a high-hcense law. The hotels,
drug s.or, s, restaurants and saloons in all

forbids their intcrmarriage, provides for
