Portland, Me, Nov 1.-THE con-
slant and desperate assaults being
made upon the prohibition law of
Maine and the regular vilifcation of
its people by denouncing them as
hypocrites and idiots. are fully ex-
planned by the following quotation
from the National Liquor Dealers
Journal:
Maine constitutes the keystone of
the arch on which prohibition in this
country has been erected. If that stone
should be cast down there will follow
such tumble that not one stone will
be left upon anther In the prohibition
temple. National Liquor Dealers
Journal. April 6, 1911.
Because Maine has led in the great
fight against the destructive liquor
traffic she has been made the target
of the interruptions forces that would
fain continue the existence of the
words greatest curse. The immense
Importance Of Names position in the
struggle to emancipate the world
from alcoholism is also shown by the
appeal made to her people BY the rep
resentative reform leaders OF oil ma
tions.
The constant reiteratlon of the false
statements of the liquor advocates
has undoubtedly led some persons to
the conclusion that Maine Is suffer
ing and has been impoverished be-
cause OF the prohibition policy A

ton will show the exact opposite to be

As to Insanity


While there are many causes OF in
sanity. the study of which shows il to
be very complex problem. and while
conservative estimates by scientific
authorities like DR.. Rosanof. of Clark
University, place drink as responsible
.or about twenty-five per cent of it,
1t has remained for the saloon sup
porters to discover that prohibition is
largely responsible. How placing the
liquor traffic under the ban OF law can
make people insane is one of the
mysteries which only the brewers and
their associates can solve. Certainly
there has been no prohibition In the
District of Columbia up to the present
time. and yet the census returns show
tAat-tsA January Al o the number es
insane in the hospitals there. was
1880 or s72.s for every 100 600 of the
population, the largest proportion re-
ported anywhere in the country This
shows the absurdity Of the liouorites'
claims. How does Maine stand in this
respect as compared with the New
England States? If prohibition pro-
notes insanity Maine ought to be we'll
up at the head OF the list.

And thus the slanderers of Maine
are once more silenced by the official
facts. Prohibition, even when ,mper-
fectly enforced tends to the reduction
of crime.
The absence of the legalized lia-
uor traffic has aided very much in the
promotion of thrift and prosperity in
Maine. The general air of neatness
around the homes of the people is
everywhere remarked by those who
visit the State. The following COM
parision of the ownership OF Maine
homes with that of license States is

port of 1910:
