The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-02-06

In critical study of the Whisky Trusts docu-
ment prohibition in the State of Maine it
needs at the outset TIC be clearly understood that
Prohibitionists make attempt to defend the
condition of things existing in Maine as ideal
Prohibition. There have been prohibitory laws
upon the statute books of the state of Maine for
more than half a century and during all that
time the administration of those laws has been
iii the hands of politicians who have been nation
ally allied with political parties that are opposed
TO the Prohibition policy During the greater
part of that time the administration of the law
has been in the hands of men who were, not only
politically, but as we'll personally opposed to
Prohibition. 1t has simply been a of Pro-
hibtion law upon the statute books and anti
Prohbitionists in Office.
To determine the attitude of real Prohibition
lists upon case of this sort it is only necessary
to ask what would be the attitude of the Repub-
lican party toward the proposition to continue
the protective tariff laws and to put and keep
free trade Democrats in power for the admins
tration of those laws
The Prohibition Contention in Brief -.
The whole contention of the Prohibtionists
with regard to the state of Maine may be summed
up in few words
Wherever and whenever there has been an
honest attempt to enforce the prohibitory law
of Maine the policy has been productive of
public welfare, private prosperity of citizens
the reduction of crime and pauperism and
drunkenness Even at the worst under the
NAL administration of the old party officials
conditions in Maine under prohibtory law
have been better than conditions in license
states.
Studying the document of the liquor dealers
in detail, as the reader may do by the applica-
ton of a magnifying glass to the reproduction,
or by the purchase of any of the numerous daily
papers in which it will appear Saturday and
Sunday it will first be noticed that, after all is
said and DONE about all that the document proves
may be summed up in short paragraph:
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-02-06
February 6, 1908

biased. The views of few of these may be
recited here
William P. Frye who has represented the
state of Maine in the Senate of the United States
for many years, and who has been president pro
tempore of that body, term after term, said in
1890 and again repeated in 1902:
"T'he lac is not failure; it has been, ON the
other hand, a zVondeyfMl Success"
In the same year Senator Eugene Hale said
and again confirmed in 1902:
Throughout the state generally the broI1ibi-
Dry lac has dri0em out the grogshob, and zUhile
liquor is undoubtedly sold in the larger towns
and cities, it is not done IN an open 7Vay and the
amount of liquor selling is smaller eVen, in those
larger towns and cities is much less than in cor
responding places elsea0here"
Nelson Dingley, whose name is inseparaby
associated with the tariff legislation of the United
States, said:
"The policy of Prohibiting dyamshobs in Maine
has proceed in e0ery zVay bromoti0e of our ma
terial and moral interests"
Vice-President Hannibal Hamlin said of the
Prohibition law in Maine:
I'm the great good produced by the brohbitory
lac of Name can doubt 7Vho has seen its
results"
James G. Blaine said
Il think the state has deyved great advantage
from its byoMbitory lac. I think that it is far
richer and far better because of the la7v than il
7Oonld haze been zVithout it,"
1t seems almost like the republication of the
len Commandments to recite again how in the
statistics of crime, of pauperism, of taxation and
OF bank deposits, Maine for years stood far in
advance OF almost every other state of the Union
III spite OF the comparative poverty of her nat
ural advantages how, even TODAY, her savings
bank deposits far and away ahead of the
savings banks deposits of the great and wealthy
states of the Middle West, in spite of the fact
that the people of Maine have invested often with
great loss, enormous sums of money in the west
ern states for years past
These things part of American literature
and of the history of the United States, and the
Whisky Trust cannot remove them from the rec
ord or obscure their force Well informed people
familiar with them
Sheriff Pearson's Work
The question of the possibility of enforcing
Names prohibitory law under modern conditions
and of the results that would come from such
enforcement, definitely settled by the admin
istration of Samuel F. Pearson, sheriff of Cum
berland county, in 1901 and 1902 Sheriff Pear
son elected the Prohibition party ticket
having been member of that party from it's first
organization He took office on January 1, 1901
with some three hundred law breaking gin mills
doing business in the city of Portland, with the
officials OF the city, county and state against him.

The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-02-06


Trust the unsolicited service of publishing it in
e pertinent comments
That law in the hands of its enemies is not
well enforced and does not accomplish the re-
suits for which it intended; that the old
party officials of the state of Maine violate
their oaths of Office by allowing the Prohibition
law to be violated; that the liquor business
whenever an attempt is made to bring it ur-
der the control of the law nstinctively becomes
criminal; that the people who would be holding
licenses to sell liquor, if Maine were a license
state, are now engaged in desperate and despic-
able efforts to violate the law of the state.
This IS about all that the document proves 1t
may be admitted to prove that much very con-
cusively
The Document Convicted :.
On the other hand, the Whisky Trusts docu-
ment convlcts its authors of Intentional misrep-
resentation first by ignoring the mass of evil
dence which exists concerning the beneficial re-
suits of the law second by ignoring the most
important fact concerning Prohibition in Maine
in recent years, the fact that under the admins
tration of Prohibition party sheriff. the liquor
traffic absolutely abolished in the city of
Portland as recently as 1902; third, by repre-
sentng the notorious Sheriff Pencil as an hon
est officer attempting to enforce the law and
fourth by its attempt to represent that the whole
moral element Of the state is committed to the
repeal of the law.
A Far Cry to Drink -.
There are numerous other inconsistencies, mis-
representations and falsehoods, some of them
almost amusing in their character. For example,
near the middle of the page the Whisky Trust
presents picture of part of Pickering Square,
Bangor with the statement: Farmers from
Aroostook get liquor by the drink and by the
bottle The only appearance OF the name Aroos-
took in the biographies of the state of Maine
are in the cases of Aroostook county, the Aroos-
took river and Aroostook Junction. The last of
these, mere crossroads, is fifty miles, as the
flies, from the city of Bangor, while Aroos-
took county at its nearest point to Bangor is
some seventy-ive miles away and reached only
by the windings of the Penobscot river, or long
railroad ride. If it be true that the farmers of
Aroostook county to Bangor for their
drinks it may be safely assumed that Prohibition
in Maine is success beyond anything that reg
ulation' in either New York or Chicago ever ap-
preached
1t is wholly unnecessary for readers who are
Prohibtionists, and it ought not to be necessary
for well-informed readers of any political belief,
to point out that it is as we'll proved as anything
possibly be proved, that, through many years,
the Prohibition policy in the state of Maine was
a great success, and that today, in spite of
the neglect and malfeasance of public officers, it
prevents the traffic in Intoxicating liquors in by
