The New York Evening Post, In refer
ring to the prohibitory liquor law ia
Maine, attributes to Neal Dow the au-
thorship OF the following paragraph in a
letter to the Lewiston Journal:
For more than p years have been TO
every Legislature In Maine, oit=n with
hundreds OF petitions, asking for such
amendments to the law as would make 1t
thoroughly effective. These efforts have
always failed, AID the grog shops keep
on pretty much as they did 20 years
ago"
The Post then advised the people OF
Mas achusetts, Pennsylvania and other
States that were seriously considering the
propriety OF putting prohibition In their
constitutions, in effect to move slowly or
they would have the same trouble that
Maine had.
The article was copied into a paper in
this city, and coming 10 the notice of
Mis- Anna Semple, No. 902 Market street,
she wro,e to him, and has received from
him the folio Sing letiei:
81 never made sue b comics. ion as the
Post attributes to me. Prohibition has
not Jailed In Maine or anywhere else.
In this State II Is now and from the b.
ginning has been great Eusctss. 1t has
reduced the volume OF the liquor traffic
to one-twentieth OF It's former proper
tons, has suppressed every disiillery AID
brewery In this State, and saves annually
to our people, directly and indirectly,
more than tvs nty million dollars, which,
but Tor the Maine law, would be spent
aud wasted In drink.
Sin 1874 after thirty-oue years expert
ence OF the benefits oil prohibition, our
people put It into the constitution by a
msjority oil 47,075, the Affirmative vote
beiug three times larger than the mega
tive. Respectfully yours,
