Maine as Rum Seller.

In the decade from 1852 to 1852 there
were seventeen prohibition states. II
we may learn by the experience of 9th
eTs, if we may profit by the history Of
the past, then let US draw a lesson from
this prohibition movement. of the
seventeen states that had prohibition in
1852 there is but One-the stare of Maine
which has kept the faith. Did ] say
kept the faith2 I was wrong for 1 am
here TO characterize Maine as the most
colossal rum seller i'm the world
These states all made valiant eff
forts to enforce prohibition, and in each
instance failed utterly. / said / would
classify Maine as the greatest saloon
keeper i'm the world. Let me substan-
tate this A few weeks ago I was i'm
Boston on business. 1 took advantage
Of the opportunity to go to Portland.
Ne. L studied the constitution of
Maine. ! found that it prohibited the
manufacture or sale of Intoxicating
beverages except for mechanical, me-
dicinal or art purposes Hard cider is
also excepted in order to satisfy the
rural districts. If YOU don't know what
hard cider is, take my advice, don't
ever try to find out by experiment
Hard cider would make a pack rabbit
sit up and laugh in bull dogs face.
The liquor laws of Maine provide
for state and city liquor agencies. How
do you like the sound of that, my pro-
hibition friends? I visited the agency
at Portland. 1t was doing a good bust
ness. There were a large number OF
barrels piled up and the walls We're
lined with case goods. True, there was
a warning to the unsophosticated in
nocence of man announcing that the
liquor was not to be purchased unless
il was to be used for mocha picaI

Drunkenness in Maine.

Maine has had ffty-seven years Of
prohibition. Maine has reared two
generations in the virtues of prohibi-
ton, and yet I am here to charge that.
population considered, there is more
drunkenness in Maine than in any So
called wet state in the Union. l de-
liberately charge that there are pro-
DortionateIy more arrests for drunken
ness and disOrderly conduct in the
cities of Maine than in the cities of any
other state where prohibition is not in
force.
"On March &c I was a contestant in
a joint debate with a man chosen to
meet me by the national committee Of
the prohibition party. In preparation
for that debate I wrote official letters
to the mayors and chiefs Of police of
the principal prohibition cities, asking
them for statistics on the amount of
drunkenness in their cities These let
tiers I have here. and win submit to
your honorable mayor and governor for
verifcation.
AS the city in a wet state to com
pare with these 1 choose Milwaukee.
because my prohibition friends have
been pointing out Milwaukee as the
horrible example. Let US see whether
it is or not In 1908 Milwaukee had an
approximate population of 365. 600
There We're 1858 arrests for drunken
ness and disOrderly conduct, or one for
every 1913 of population. Prohibition
Columbus, Ca. has population of
% 600. with 1896 arrests for drunken
ness and disOrderiy conduct. or one for
every twenty. Augusta has a popuIa-
