Maine has had a fair trial of state

But my friends, my mission here to-

so-called political issues of the hour.
These are being ably handled by men
of each and all parties These cues

eide for himself. 1t is healthy sign
when the government is getting near
er to the .comCn people; when the
states are adopting the initiative and

ty OF campaign contributions, corrupt
pratices acts, election of United
states senator's by the people, laws
to prevent the filling Of our mills

natural resources, both of life and
property. These activities, my fellow
countrymen, do not indicate deca-

OF every man and woman in America

clination to mix into the great q ues
tlons which concern the present and
future welfare of the state and OF the
nation. II such a man and such a
woman gets poor government they
get what they deserve Let me lay
down this proposition right here and
now. In a republic like ours, govern
ment, whether town, city or federal
is just what all the people make.
The man who stays away from the
polls on election day has as much in
aucnce in shaping legislation as the
man Who deposits his ballot, and At

Of Amercanship has defeated or re-

tion which / am here to discuss with
you frankly this evening. A ques-
ton which, while It has beeu made
by some a moral issue solely, and by
others a political Issue solely, Is Drf-
marily and essentially a question Of
domestic policy It is question linn
tied to no municipality in all this

The Civic League Record Of the
same month and tho same issue says
as to fines imposed IN four terms OF
court in Kennebec county, $17,15O
were imposed in rs cases, the average
fine In the city of Watervilie being
-$17O.
The Record says as to imprison-
ment "In. the municipal court Of

and tbiry-seven defendants appealed
from sentences aggregating five years
and ale months. In the Superior
court the jail sentences with no al

entire county, aggregated ten months
and were against three respondents.
AS showing conditions in the Couu-
ty Of Penobscot, in which is located
the city OF Bangor, the Civic League
Record says:
1T is reported that County ,Attor-
ney Thompson recently bought ST.
800 automobile an 81 900 house in
Bangor. The alary Of the count
attorney In that comfy must be very
large to warrant such expenditures.
But 1t Is also rumored that there are
200 locally licensed liquor sellers in
Bangor and as many more in the rest
al the county. It is reported that
each OF these liquor sellers pays some
one $3.50 year"
And the Civic League Record might
have added that the 400 licensed liu-
nor sellers in Penobscot County are
no new thing, for Bangor and SOME
other Of the larger cities and towns
Of the county have pergistently and
consistently openly opposed and vio-
!ateds constitutional prohibition.

know it to be true, AMI parade the

as theory that they minimize, if
not actually overlook real conditions.

TO state at the very outset that the
opinion Of the fanatic or the ultra
prohibitionist is worth but little, for
the simple reason that this class al
ways insist that we live in Altr,aia

or bars to our windows. They see
conditions as they want them and
not as they are. They utterly forget
the patent fact in all history that the
1nquisition never made saint. nor
a man-made law, statutory or con.
stitutional ever made a teetotaler.
