TOWN WITHOUT PAUPERs
Yet Rum at One Time Was to Blame
For Forty Paupers There.

Editor kenncbec Journal;
| wish to commend the editors of
the kennebec Journal for their good
work in the great prohibition battle.
You are out every day with strong
reasons for keeping the prohibltory
amendment. ] hope you will continue
the great and glorious work till victory
comes on Sept. II. and the people are
free indeed
When we think of the prosperity it
has brought to our state. when we
consider how many rumsellers il has
driven from the light OF day, when We
reflect on the number of rumdrinkers
it has reclaimed, when we recognize
the happiness it has brought To count
less homes, we gain some conception of
the vast good it has done and may well
say the work of prohibition has been
beyond all praise.
| remember before prohibition times.
this town was supporting wholly or i'll
part 30 paupers. Strong drink was
mostly the cause of their poverty. /
recall the expression of one who said
that he would rather have a gallon of
rum than a bushel of corn in his fam
ilS." Today under prohibition, we
have No PAUPERS.
| am glad to inform YOU that this
prohibitory amendment in the consti-
tuition of Maine.

as we have fought the Illegal sale OF

less to prevent our 'wets" from slip

miles distant by trolley, and buying
their liquor returning drunk and dis

tip the scales for another brief year.
Local option is a seething cauldron
that constantly boils, INTO which every
town and city must oe plunged yearly
to resettle this settled" question.
Either side may be boiled. The
musty. half-tempered remark that
prohibition does not prohibit applies
to every law on the statute books.
Equally true is it that local option
does not settle but most decidedly
does it unsettle.
The sudden and remarkable sense
of honor developed in those who would
sweep a prohibitorv amendment OFT

plish absolutely all to be desired must

With the swelling of the world

We answered that the above re-

That is true-the rum press would
give no heed to the women of Maine

foreigners. and why? BECAUSE

1t is votes these political mounte-
