CONDITIONS IN MAINE.
The Observations of an Outsider.

One hears much at times about the
supposed results under the prohibitory
policy in the State of Maine. 1t is SO
persistently stated by certain newspa
pers and some people, that more LIQUOR
is sold and drank in Maine today than
ever before, that many people have
come to believe it. 1t is said that the
law is not enforced, and that the State
is. reeking with laWlessness and drunk.
enness.
Three important facts impressed me
on a recent and somewhat extended
trip to that State.
l. That public disorder, poverty and
crime, SO largely prevalent in license
towns, are almost entirely missing i'll
the Maine towns and cities.
2. That prosperity is evident on all
sides, and in State with naturally
limited resources there is evidently
plenty of ready money with which to
transact all necessary business.
8. That despite the claim that hotels
cannot run successfully without the
sale OF liquor, the Maine hotels are the
best OF their class have ever seen.
was in ROckland three different
nights, city where it is claimed there
are violations of the prohibitory law.
till ten O'Clock and later there were
crowds of people thronging the side
walks. Yet so orderly were the people
and there was such manifest absence
OF scenes where drunken men are fire.
quent, that there was no sort of CON-
parlson with conditions in license
towns of the same size and larger.
| was struck with the same fact in
Portland, Lewiston, Bath, Bangor
Rumford Falls, and other cities Of
large size in the State. | have never
yet seen license town of similar SIZE
where at night, as well as in the day,
there was such a manifest reign of NOR
ais and good order. 1t is a condition
not imagined, but plainly realized. Then
the evidences of prosperity were every
where manifest. In communities where,
according to natural resources, there
would naturally be expected much of
poverty, apparently the people live well.
Maine has in her savings banks about
800 per capita, and yet has SO few natur-
al resources. Ohio, with all abundance
of resources, has about one-tenth as
much.
If as much liquor is now sold in
Maine as under license, it is strange
that the liquor dealers of Boston are
helping to pay the bills of the result
mission campaign, and this fact has
been freely affirmed. The fact is that
the prohibitive features of any law are
far easier enforced than the regulations
of permissive statute, and this is
borne out by the facts in the Pine Tree
State.
A gentleman in Camden said to me,
''None of my children has ever seen a
saloon, except my oldest son, who now
is in a Boston college," That fact
alone is worth the whole effort to Sc
cure the Maine law and to maintain it.
S. E. Nicholson, in the Home Herald,
