side of the prohibition issue, not be-
cause the moral side is less import
ant, but because | think too often
Prohibition has been regarded as
only a moral issue The ministers.
the women and other good people of
Skowhegan having occupied the high
est ground, it now remains for all
citizens to join the fight You law
yers can make a drive on the issue of
enforcement versus notification of
law. If you believe this to be a
government of law, you can do moth
ing more in keeping with your pro-
fesSional code than to demand of the
law officers of Somerset County the
full enforcement of all laws. My
observation has been that at its worst
Bangor or Portland or SkOwhegan
the Maine law has restricted liquor
selling infinitely more than does a
license law at its best as | know it
in the District of Columbia, and yet
the only time I'm not proud of being
a Maine Yankee is when | realize the
contempt with which law has been
held sometimes and somewhere in
Maine And finally you business
men and working men of Skowhegan,
if you wish more sales and better
pay, more strength and cunning to
your right arm, more work and fewer
accidents, it is up to you to entrench
yourselves within your rights as citi-
zens and demand 100 per cent en-
forcement.
I'VE all need to enlist in this fight
for a richer. better and a happier
Skowhegan. Not only the mills and
the stores and the banks need en-
forcement of prohibition, but our
homes deserve it by right. Effici
ency in industry and safety for the
home AS the Catholic bishop Of
Great Falls said in the recent Mon
tana campaign-'Those who advocate
prohibition are messengers of peace
and patriotism and are fighting a
bloodless battle for humanity.
