The Portland daily press., 1900-05-25

We have no doubt 1t is true, as declared
by Senator Hale in the Senate on We'd
nesday, that there are powerful interests
in this country that are determined that
we shall never leave Cuba If they can
help it, We hope it is also true, las Senator
Spooner thinks, that the honor and good
faith of the people are strong enough to
defeat the Vaccinations of these power
full interests. 1t is not an un-
common thing for nations to be pushed
into questionable enterprises. This
nation has been pushed into them in the
past, and it is by no means certain that
it may not he pushed in again in the
future unless 1t exercises the utmost
vigilance.
The Portland daily press., 1900-05-25

The decision of the House to adjourn
june has to be assented to by the SEN
ate to ensure adjournment at that date.
Most likely the Senate will follow suit,
for it is generally unders TODD that the
members of both Houses are anxious to
get away and look after their fences. IL
June 9th is finally settled upon there will
be little time for any more important
legislation this session. The Nicaragua
bill is already laid on the shelf by the
decision of the Senate not to take it
mp, and the ship subsidy bin cannot pos
sibly be got through both houses in two
weeks. Probably we have already seen
the end of all important legislation at
this session.
The Portland daily press., 1900-05-25
THE LEAGUE AND THE LAW.

When the Civic League was first formed
and announced its purpose to secure the
enforcement of the law by rousing public
sentiment to demand it, We said that that
was the only plan that promised success,
and if that did not succeed no other
plan would. The League has been work
ing along that line now for some years.
How much it accomplished il is not easy
to say. 1t is often long after seed Is
sown that it springs up and brings forth
fruit, and therefore it would be mislead-
ing to say that because the fruit of the
leagues effort is not yet abundant, its
labors have been vain. But whether its
labors have been vain or not, we feel GER
tain that only through its plan can sue
cess come. Thirty years of experience
must have convinced every intelligent OBJ
server that it is useless to expect the en-
foreement of the prohibitory liquor law
until enforcement is demanded by pre-
ponderating public sentiment at least.
That there is no such demand today in
places where enforcement is most needed,
is patent to everybody who looks at the
facts without prejudice. 1t is admitted
that in no city in this state is the prohi-
bitory law enforced according 10 its spirit
and intent. There is seizing of liquor in
all of them, ana in all of them liquor
dealers are occasionally brought before
the courts and fined, but there is no genu-
inc effort in any of them to carry out the
plain purpose and intent of the law,
l. 70. Iinnnar call e
row administered by the prosecuting
officers and by the courts the law is prac-
tically a license law. Occasionally rum
shop may be shut up, not, however, be-
cause it has been violating the law of the
state, but because 1t has failed to conform
to some regulation entirely outside the
law and obnoxious to it, made by some
official either for his own profit, or that
of some combine to which he is under
obligation. We do not believe that a
rumshop has been shut up in this city
for six years simply because 1t was being
kept open in defiance of the law. So far
as the law is enforced today in the cities
it is enforced simply for revenue-revenue
for the county and for the officials who
enforce it. There is no genuine attempt
by anybody TO enforce it for anything
else. The sellers call round and take a
bottle of whiskey or a sprinkler Of beer,
just enough to make case on, leaving
cases of whiskey and barrels of beer I'm
touched. A previous conviction is sell
dom alleged in the courts, and the judges
almost habitually construe and TO mean
"or''; 50 that they are relieved from iinpos-
ing any penalty worse than fine. These
things are not done in corner, but open
" and in the face and eyes of the public,
The Portland daily press., 1900-05-25

day after day, month after month and
year after year.
As far rs we can discern the people or
the majority Of them, approve of this
method OF enforcement. II they did not
approve Of 1t &c ID reasonable to suppose
that they would protest against 1t, and
tring II 10 an end. But the only time
during the last quarter of q century when
the people have made vigorous protest
in connection with this law was when it
was being enforced according 30 its
spirit and letter. The sheriff who bare
ly escaped defeat for his attitude toward
the law was the one who had enforced It
with view 90 suppressing the liquor
traffic. Some of us are accustomed 60
think that the sentiment in favor of the
notification or pefversion OF this law Is
confined to the cities and large towns.
But the evidence Is otherwise. There was
no great uprising in the country towns to
save Sheriff Cram. With the help OF the
Third Party vote he got only about thirty
majority in this county, though the ma
jority of the other candidates on his tick
81 ranged from 500 to 1000, and today all
through this county the country towns
are pledging and instruct ing their repre-
sentatives 30 act In the way that viii he
most certain to continue the style OF
enforcement now in vogue. We are
frequently told that there is a great
deal of indignation in the country over
the lax enforcement of the laws in the
cities, but when it gets to the caucuses
and conventions the force Is all out OF
il and 1t roars as gently as sucking
dove In the long run the people get about
what they want, and 1t looks as though they
are getting about what they want in the
way of enforcement of the prohibitory
laws In this county. II 1t were net so
they would make fuss about 1t.
Apparently the only thing practical that
can be done in the present state of public
sentiment is to cut down the price we are
now paying the officials for not enforcing
the law The legitimate fees Of the farci-
cal performance that the sellers enact In
this city amount, IL Is said, to 5000 or
s., 900 yearly. These can be Topped off
without detriment to anybody but the
officials, and they have no just claim TO
be paid for not doing the work which
the statute enjoins upon them.

The action of the Methodist Conference
in removing the time limit practically
puts Methodist ministers on the same
basis as ministers of other denemi-
nations. Hereafter they will be likely to
remain in one place as long as their con-
gregations desire them to remain or as
long as they want TO remain. Under the
new policy the Bishop is to appoint the
preachers every year as now, but the con-
gregations will practically determine
whom he shall appoint. If they want
their minister to continue to remain
with them he will undoubtedly re1nain
unless he himself insists upon going else
