Prohibition vs.. License.

jus now there is much discussion il
Portland over the liquor traffic. HI re
is always more or less discussion on thi;
subject and people differ honestly about
it. There are very few people who be
lieve it other than an evil, while temper
ance people believe it not only giant
evil but IA crime. The theory of Tho
laws of the State of Maine is that rum.
selling j. Il crime and thai principle i in.
corporated in the constitution of the
State by vote of the people of the
State and by "A large majority.
Yet it is II fact beyond controversy,
that the law prohibiting the mauufact-
ure and sale of Intoxicating liquors is
violated in many of the larger towns and
the cities of Maine and this violation is
looked upon with Indifference by large
minority if not majority of our citi-
zens. so much so that it is exceedingly
difficult for the officers of the law to ill.,
force it effectively.
Prohibition is the law, both statute
and organic, in Maine, and its violation
is crime. This being the fact the law
should be enforced and il the public will
not stand the enforcement then 1T the
law be repealed and local option OF
license law be enacted. There i, how
ever, no certainty that license law
would be enforced any better than the
prollibitory law.
We would not think of applying local
option to any other crime or a license
law to any other crime, or even TO
great evil, which all must concede the
liquor traffic to be, and the only reason
that can be given for applying a license
law to the liquor traffic would be the i'm
practicabilty of prohibition.
Prohibition is a success in any State
just in proportion to the interest the
people take Ia it. There are many diff
ficulties in the way of its enforcement
but they can be largely overcome il
there is interest enough in the people
generally to make persistent and long
confined effort to this end. The warfare
is one for all time. There is no end Il
the contest.

HIS FIRST ATTEMPT.



In the Trihulatious of Housekeeping.

young newspaper man at one Of the
down town offices this morning. I am

housekeeping side of MARITAL life, al

sources of the territory are large and
irrigation has already done very much
