liquor sold in so illegal places in the
state OF Maine is not equal to the
amount of liquors sold in one aver
age saloon in license state"
Furthermore, the Observer alludes
TO the state of Maine as having sac
riiiced her prosperity. Congress
man Littlefield says: Maine has In
her savings banks $95.22 for every
inhabitant; Illinois has only s1S.43;
hentucky, none; Ohio, $10.7l;
pennsylvania, s16.72, and while the
population of Maine since 1850 has
increased only 20 per cent, her valu-
alton per capita has increased 252
per cent" Names per capita wealth
in 1902 was s9S2. Where has her
prosperity been sacrificed? Where
Is the license state that has as large
per capita wealth?

go Worth,

That is the official statement of
the United States government for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1909,
the comparison being with the previ-
Gus year. The drop in the produc-
tion of whiskey was $4,S2S,26S gal
Ions, being more than 3 per cent of
the previous years production. The
decrease in the beer item was 2,444,-
1873 gallons, 4 per cent of the pro-
duction. Uncle Sam lost nearly
eight millions in taxes, but the peo-
pie are ahead by nearly eighty mil
lions that did not go for beer and
whiskey If it be true that more
liquor is consumed under prohibit
ton" the moonshiners must have
made rivers and ponds of it that es-
capped taxation. But it is the claim
of increased consumption that is
"moonshine," and everybody knows
it.-Cumberland Presbyterian.

In your paper of today is an article

Gle are some references to the state
OF Maine that are misleading to those
who are seeking light on this live

has gone dead except in the matter
of prohibition" If educational
facilities are an indication that the
state is dead, the Observer is correct.
for the state of Maine has more
schools in proportion to the popula-

to the pupils than any other state in

law and cooperating with the Law
and Order League in driving law
breakers from the state, The claim
that as much liquor is sold as before
is a bald fake. Ohio is almost dry
state, except in those counties where
the large cities are situated.
"The number of arrests has de-
creased from so to rs per cent in
all the cities that l have visited,
where the saloons have been closed.
In some instances the percentage ran
as high as 80, and police courts have
become almost obsolete so far as ex-
ercising their functions is concerned.
Manufacturers without exception
have told me that men are better
off since the dry election. Merchants
say the laboring people are buying
more groceries and other articles for
the home than formerly. Bankers
declare the ordinary man is putting
more money on deposit than ever be-
fore. Some of the wettest of the
vets before election assure me that
the dry town is the most prosperous
town, that the few months expert
ence has convinced them, and that II
another election were to be held i'm
mediately they would vote with the
Temperance side.
1T seems to be a war to the end,
and the vets know 1t, but instead of
adopting measures and means Of en-
forcing the laws, they follow other
tactics permitting saloonists to open
ly violate laws and do all the things
! the drys object to, and then meet
this with the argument that as much
liquor Is sold in towns after they
vote dry as before. On this point
the Internal Revenue reports are an
enlightening. They show that dur
ing 1908 the revenues dropped $17,-
100000, which can be ascribed to
only one cause. The amount of dis
titled spirits for the same period de-
creased forty-one million gallons.
History may repeat itself and
the saloons OF America may be re.
opened, but just at present they are
being driven off the American map
and throughout Ohio am able after
a thorough investigation of the sub
ject to state positively that the peo'
pie are pretty generally satisfied
that II Is so.
There has always been a division
of opinion on the subject, and there
doubtless always will be, but
the majority rules in Ohio and
throughout America, and 1t begins tC
look as If the majority would soor
have a white ribbon in the lapel OF
its coat"
Hence we see that the Cleveland
News has secured and published evi
dence showing that the liquor inter
ests are everywhere misrepresentinl
the facts.-Union Signal.
