GOVERNOR PLAISTED SAYS 1T is
A FAILURE THERE AND

Savannah. Ga, April 20-Declaring
prohibition is dead in Maine and is a
failure everywhere. Governor Freder-
ick W. Pldisted, of that state, talked
Interestingly today upon his arrival
from Boston. He is accompanied by
his wife and will be here several

Tue greatest principles of democ-
racy won the fight in Maine" said
lie governor, the principles of local
self-eOvernment. Laws may be placed
NJ on the statute books, but unless
they are backed up by a popuA. de
mand. they cannot be enforced. II
they are of such character as meets
popular approval, they will be enforc-
ed; otherwise they will not be.
The Sturgis or state enforcement
laws Of my state provided that a com
mission had the right to appoint con
sta2les TO 90 into different communi-
ties and seek out laWbreakers of any
class and prosecute them.
The law. except TO a few, was al
ways odious Finally, it became so
bad that it was made tie issue in a
campaign and we won out. The first
thing | did was to abolish the com
mission. Later the legislature re-
pealed the law. The prohibition law
has teen a failure in Maine. 1t was
placed in the constitution in 1884, but
the people will vote this fall as to
whether it is to stay there or not I
am sure it will not. The people have
found that they want and require the
right Of local selfeOyernment. In this
fight | am sure they will be sue
cessful.
The prohibition law nas been a
farce on the whole Communities that
wanted to enforce it did it. Those
who wanted To do so disregarded it,

Marden had kept both ears and eyes

could see where the earth had been
scored as though some heavy body had
plowed through the soil and rock of
the embankment. Viewed close at

freight car had been burned on the
spot, and Marden began to suspect
that the c. & N. w. would never again

stock.

Marden calculated that he had
crawled about a hundred yards when
his stopped head came in violent con.
tact with wall Of rock. Carefully
feeling, forward with his hands he
made out low arch about four feet
high. through which the water was
running merrily and more swiftly than
ever. But what delighted him most
was to feel distinctly an upward draft
Of air! This told him that the water.
course probably communicated with
the upper world. And so it proved.
After worming himself through this
natural pipe he suddenly felt the
fresh, cool night air all about him and
looking upward discovered that he
was in narrow, rock cleft, which
must widen considerably, since he
could see quite long patch Of starlit
sky and not so high but what the late
rising moon was silvering its western
wall. He had escaped from the old
mine!
Yet, unless he could climb out of
this ravine and win the level country
on top. he might just as well be down
below again. He knew that the man
