Editorial Comment
Maine Enforcement.
(Boston Herald.)


Beyond question Maine is getting
genuine enforcement of the prohibitorN
law from one end to the other. The
sheriffs whom Gov. Haines appointed
to replace those removed by order OF
the Legislature for nom enforcement of
the law, are making their counties as
dry as the proverbial desert Portland,
Lewiston. Bath, Rocliland, Augusta.
Waterville and even Bangor are all
drier than they have been before in n
generation. Many did not believe that
lsuch a thing could be done, But the
worst scoffers are silenced and are
lsimply wondering now how long il
lean last. So close a watch is kept on
lall channels through which liquor
comes for Illegal purposes that when a
man is having any shipped for his
own personal use he now goes to the
sheriff and tells him about it. Other
wise it is altogether likely that the
liquor will be seized at the express
+, office or the freight depot. Even the
railroads now refuse to accept liquor
| that is obviously designed for sale a.
Maine points. The result is that tn,
pocket pedlars and dive keepers who
Istill try to do business have to imporl
their stock in trunks as baggage OIL
to use automobiles to bring it across
the state line from New Hampshire
and Massachusetts.
| All this is as, it should be while thu
statewide prohibitory provision is 9
part of the Maine law. The open eva
sion of the law has for years encour-
jagged contempt for all law, and has
/ been the basis of endless political hy-
pocrisy. Gov. Haines has taken the
fright stand, even though it has made
him so unpopular in the cities thai
there is said to be not one chance in q
hundred that he could be reelected al
the present time. He has put his oatf
lof office above political deals anc
lodges. He has also put it SQUARED,
lup to the people of Maine whether
they want to continue the provision
that Maine put in the constitution
many years ago when conditions were
VASTLY different. 1t was one thing t.
have prohibitory law that was en-
forced only as each locality or count,
wanted it enforced; 1t is quite anoth.
Ter TO have one enforced without feal
or favor in every part of the state.
