barking up the wrong tree? Let US rea-
son a little and see.
Maine has for nearly half a century
been a synonym for prohibition. BY the
organic law OF that state IL is forbidden
TO manufacture Cor distilD liquors. so II
any is brought into the state another
state reaps the profit. The selling of
liquor is absolutely prohibited, so if any
is sold the town or city derives no finan-
cial advantage, other than If il were
bread and meat; !. e., there is no charge
upon the sale of It. Now, under thase
conditions, what is the status?
This writer, having spent the summer
months of several recent years in ana
near the seaboard cities of Maine, as
serts and is prepared to prove, that liquor
is as easily procured in Portland or Rock
land as in Savannah The quality as z
rule is below that obtainable here an
