Correspondence.
Prohibition in Maine.

MT. DESERT, Aug. "a, 1903.
To the Editor of The american:
Your issue of July contains a letter
from a correspondent asking the question:
els prohibition in Maine failure?"
Evidently the answer which one would
give to this question would depend on his
tainly it has not been successful to the ex-
tent Of abolishing the liquor traffic in all
OF the larger places; but it is equally GER
tain that it has completely suppressed the
sale of liquor in the small towns, and
greatly diminished its use by the people of
such towns.
Forty years OF experience as a physician,
practising among people of small towns,
has given me very good knowledge OF
such people. A knowledge not simply OF
their habits and practices, but also of their
opinions, sentiments and attitude toward
Intoxicating drink-its sale and use.
Now as to the attitude of these people
toward the liquor traffic: Certainly there
is among them very little sentiment in
favor Of it. Nearly everyone believes that
a grog-shop in the community is an evil
an injury himself, his neighbor and his
family. This sentiment is nearly universal
among people of the rural districts. But
it does not follow that no one drinks
for some do. But even those who would
patronize a rum-shop are none the less
strong in the conviction that it is a bad
factor in the community.
Now as to the practice OF people in the
country places: 1t certainly is true that
as whole they use very little liquor as
compared with other people. And its use
is limited almost entirely to men. For
very few women drink. And even of the
men it is safe to say that large majority
use no liquor at all.
But there is quite a large class who
drink occasionally. Some send away and
get it occasionally. Others drink when
they come in contact with other drinking
men. But while there is quite number
of occasional drinkers, the number Of
habitual drinkers is small. Very few men
keep liquor and drink daily in their homes.
/ believe that this is fair statement OF
the situation in the small towns Of Maine
generally.
OF course ! know that there is much
more drinking in the large villages and
cities. But whyf Human nature is about
the same everywhere. The country boys
have the same tastes and sppetites as those
in the cities. Why 20 much less drink
ing? The explanation is this: The law
and public sentiment have made the
liquor traflc odious in the State, and in
the small places the conditions have been
such that it has been suppressed, the
result being that . generation OF men has
