The report of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue for the last fiscal year
showed that there were 1G33 men in
Maine who mad licenses from the feder-
al government to retail intoxicants and
who paid the necessary sum to exempt
them from prosecution by the federal
authorities That was almost a third
as many licenses as were issued to men
in Massachusetts where the number
was 4,S5S 1t was a slight falling off for
Maine, however, as the retail liquor
licenses issued the previous year num-
bered 1,151. But besides these retailers
of wet goods in Maine there were several
wholesalers, as is shown by the reports
of the internal revenue commissioner
that wholesale licenses We're issued to
Is men in Maine, as against % licenses
for the previous year. Apart from
these government licenses to sell intoXi-
eating liquors there were 351 licenses
bought by Maine dealers for the right
to retail malt liquors, as against PSI
licenses issued the previous fiscal year,
which would seem to indicate that the
consumption of beer and ale is jumping
up in the Pine Tree State. There were
also issued wholesale licenses for the
sale of malt liqOurs in Maine to the
number of 81, as against "a for the pre-
vious fiscal year, which also notes that
the wholesalers find the demand for
beer and ale on the increase.

"Mr. Mcclure has been the

of the Thirteenth General Assem-

familiar with the contents of the
law than any other member of
either house. During the present
session he has worked night and

TO his efforts that it was put
through as quickly as it was"

and the well was shut down until
the small pump could get rid of
