ut Is a good showing for Maine
better still. Maine can say, can any
other state make the claim?-that no
depositor in Maine savings bank has
ever lost a dollar that he deposited
there. 1t is to be noted, moreover, that
the savings banks by no means repre-
sent all the savings. Of the Maine .peo-
pie that are Mt interest. The savings
departments of the trust companies
have 9O,322 depositors with deposits Of
$30.OO0.OOO, or twice as much as the
demand deposits in the same institu-
tions. The national banks have mil
lions In their savings departments, and
the II 800 shareholders in the loan and
building associations have to their
credit an accumulated capital of a.
$4,000. These and other totals make
a showing for the thrift and industry
of Maine people that no state can bet
ter"
This remarkable testimony to the
prosperity Of prohibition Maine comes
from newspaper avowedly hostile to
prohibition, the Boston Herald. 1t is a
complete answer to the oft-repeated
falsehood of the brewers and distillers
that Maine has been impoverished be-
cause she has steadfastly refused to
legalize the dramshop. In population
Maine ranks as the thirty-fourth state
in the Union. But on June 80, 1915,
the deposits in her savings banks
amounted to $97, ,423, ,Oss.63, a total ex-
ceeded by only II other states. The
amount of depositors-238,5 5S8-repre-
sents nearly one-third Of the total pop
ulation of the state, including men,
women and children. Only ten states
exceed Maine in the actual number of
depositors. The total proportion Of de-
positors to population is eQualled by
only five states. Deposits in building
and loan associations amounted to $5,-
55S,269, with 12,113 depositors. Add to
this the savings deposited in trust COM
panies and national banks, and the per
capita individual deposits amount to
$244.50 for every man, woman and child
in the state. In 1914 the average per
capita individual deposits in all the
states was $18S, which average Maine ,
leads by over $56.

The late Gen. William Booth Of the
Salvation Army summed 1t all up as
follows: ''The drink difficulty lies at
the root Of everything: Nine-tenths Of
our poverty, sQualor, vice and crime
spring from this poisonous tap-root.
Many of our social evils which over

they were not SO constantly watered
