AS to resubmission Mr.. Haines states
the case fairly, when he says that "there
is strong desire on the part, at least,
of large minority of the people of the
State to have the constitutional ques-
ton of prohibition again submitted to
a vote of the people," He is equally
correct in saying that this desire for re-
submission 'has been largely created
by the persistent demands of the Demo-
cratic party through its leaders, orators
and newspapers; and he might have
added that tack of these demands is
the more or less openly avowed purpose
of securing license law. 1t is this that
has arrayed the Prohibitionists and
many Republicans against resubmis-
sion. The simple proposition would
doubtless have met with but little op-
position, and the result of such vote
could hardly have been uncertain. Mr..
Haines says;
Many leading Republicans think this
should have been done before this, but
no one can say that there was ever be-
fore any considerable or large minority
of the voters demanding it. The repre-
sentatives of the people, elected to the
Senate and House at each successive
legislature, have had this question put
to them for the past ten years at least,
and not quarter of such representa-
tives have ever voted for its resubmis-
sion. Certainly there has never been a
sufficient minority who desired resub-
mission among the peoples representa-
tives, who constitute the only regular
and official channel through which a
party may gain information of the PEG.
pies desires upon any subject. Fol-
this reason alone, no one can blame the
Republican party for not sooner advo-
eating the resubmission Of this question
to the people.

This is about the situation, as viewed
from the political standpoint In other
directions the policy declared by MI
Haines is viewed with decided approval
This is true of the Democrats generally.
One gentleman in discussing the mat
ter said, however, that in the country
towns there are many Democrats who
are staunch Prohibitionists and who

LITIGATION of the present liquor law We
know there are few such men in Wal
do county, but doubt if they are in suf-
ficient numbers in the whole State to
have any appreciate effect upon the
vote. Many will agree with Mr.. Haines
as to the dishonesty, graft and rotten
ness in the town agency system, and in
the proposition to have liquor for me-
dicinal purposes dispensed by the drug
gists. There would, however, be the
same difficulty under this system as
with other plans for regulating the
liquor traffic. The license system has
its drawbacks, and falls as far short of
accomplishing the end in view as does
the endeavor to secure strict enforce
ment. a former county attorney of
kennebec county was heard to say that
during his term of office he had more
Trouble with druggists than with the

hand the case of Mike Burns, who open
ed d drug store in Augusta for the
sale OF liquor in the original package,
and who had in his window an old truss
and some bottles of colored water, with
the sign "a Modern Drug Store" was
recalled. There is a bill or resolve be-
fore the present legislature to REIN burse
Burns for liquors seized, the court hay
ing decided that the seizure was illegal.
There was talk at one time of establish
ing a similar drug store in this city, but
instead we had bar room.
