From present indications Maine is to
have the most thorough enforcement of
the prohbitory law it has ever known.
This was anticipated as soon as the cleo
tion of Carl E. Milliken as Governor and a
Republican legislature was made known.
Many of the Sheriffs on taking the oath
of office Jan. 1st declared their inten-
ton OF enforcing the law and their depu-
ties have been instructed accordingly.
Sheriff Cushman of Waldo county, in en-
tering upon his third term, did not need
to make any such declaration. His record
speaks for him. In Bangor the 'wet"
season closed Saturday night Dec. 3Uth,
when the last of the liquor in stock in
saloons, clubs and hotels was closed out
by auction, raff1es and in various ways.
Travelling statesmen for liquor concerns
in Bangor last week said they expected
to make no more trips into Maine for
two years at least In Watervllle Jan.

liquor seizures and the city marshal con-
Quoted independent seizures. Sheriff
White of Penobscot county has directed
his deputies throughout the county to
seize all liquors in sight at express and
freight offices, regardless of the con-
signee. People who have notified him
that they expected consignments for
strictly personal use have been told that
such will be seized and held for 10 days
and can then be claimed. A press des-

The courts are standing behind the

of the Supreme Court held in this city
last week, in its disposition of liquor
cases was in accord with the general
movement for the suppression of this
illegal traffic. In Bangor Dec. 2Sth Pope
D. McKinnon, owner of the Globe Hotel
and long prominent in the liquor bust
