Temperance.

MRS. l.. VI. Stevens President of the
w. {. L. l.. appeared before the conn
mittee on temperance in opposition RI
the bill authorizing druggists to sell
alcohol for medical and mechanica,
purposes. The bill was introduced BY
Representative Howes of Palyr,. M
action was taken by the committee.
Representative Stevens of Portland
and Ex-Slleritf Cummings of Lewiston
appeared in favor of Il bill to prohih,t
the sale of cider containing over =
per cent Of alcohol.
Mr. Cummings stated that during hjs
administration and that no person who
was indicted for selling cider WAS con.
victed.
Representative Stevens stated thar
there was more harm resulting from
the sale of hard cider than from any
other cause ana commended that the
farmer should not be allowed great.r
privileges than any other class
Mr.. Cummings stated that during his
administration hard cider was sold
All over the county. In one instance the
officers raided place and found :, man
drunk lying across the barrel and am
other drinking from IL barrel. The of
fcerS were unable to hold the man as
| it could not be proven that they bought
the cider there or that the cider was
kept there for sale. Many places kept
| cider for sale and many of the arrests
during the administration were due 10
| the drinking of hard cider.
Mr.. Cummings stated that from one
place they had many complaints of
drunkenness and especially on Sunday
and an investigation found that men
were in the fields drinking from jugs Of
| cider which they had purchased from
farm houses. During his term of office
| he had n great zeal of trouble from
| the sale of cider. but was unable to
secure 4 conviction for selling cider
where any defence was made.
Aswerng question by Representa-
| tive O'Brien of Lewiston, a member of
the committee. Mr.. Cummings gave it
| as his opinion that in Lewiston condi-
| tions We're worse from the sale of cider
| than from beer. He said that cider
seized by him contained from four to
siy per cent: usually about four and
seven-eights per cent.
Mr.. Stevens said that Il man who
was supposed 10 sell periodicals.. had
ASKED him if he expected to get this ci-
der bill passed and he had answered
| that lie did. To this the man said:
ell, it will ruin my business"
Mr.. Stevens had replied to him that
| he supposed his business was selling
periodicals and the man said: II do.
but l make more money from the sale
! of cider than from the sale of periodi-
| Gals
