??=? 3 PROHIBITION OR I DISPENSARY? * SOME OF FHF RFSillS OF PROHIBITION IN MAINE PS'MEO OUT BY A IORSESPONDENT. .Editor County Record: ? 'i he prohibitionists always point with pride to the -rood old State of Maine as a shinm<; example of the ^ success --f prohibition, but before acB ceptic,' their dictum as conclnsi*^ let us _: > over into the l'iue-tree State and see if it is a fact that pro]\it.Ui.kn ? o fltpi'p FjOf" ii _< hear the evidence of witnesses who are on the sj>ot. We want to know tiie truth. The New York World sent a spec4 ial representative to Maine to investigate the working of the liquor law in that State, and upon the strength of his report The World made the following editorial comment: "A World correspondent has made an extended tour of the State of Maine, and presents the facts as they came under his careful observation in relation to the working of the liquor law. Liquor is procured without difficulty in Portland, Augusta, Bangor. Bath, Belfast. .Lewistou, Brunswick, Eastport and elsewhere. In Portland The Woild representative found 144 places where intoxicants were sold in some form or other,aud lie estimates that there are as mauv as *4,500 open bars in the State. Such a condition cannot fail K to be demoralizing t^the public servBr. ice, and there is a growing feeling manifesting itself in favor of the repeal of the law. The arrests for drunkenness in the little city of Portland alone tor six weeks were 922." The following excerpt from an ed itorial in the Portland (Me) Herald corroborates the statements of thv World. The Herald, by the way, is a prohibition paper. A "Crime is alarmingly prevalent, Murders have continuously increased year by year. Our jails and prisons are unpleasantly full. Robberies and burglaries are Occurring in all direfctions. ('rime of all kinds is increasing. One hundred and thirtyfour liquor sellers in Portland! One hundred and tweuty-seven in Bangor! and fifty-five in Lewiston!!! Is it any wonder that crime is increasing? Are our citizens less law-abiding thau Western people? Is public sentiment at a lower ebb in the good old State of Maine than it is in a Western State, where people from all countries have congregated? Wouldn't it be well for the Maine Legislature to appoiut an investigat Iing committee to ascertain why it is that the prohibitory laws cannot be enfoiced iu Maine?-' Says the Portland (Me) Argus: 4'Here is a fact; The prohibitory liquor law?so far as its enforcement or non-enforcement is concerned-is a tool in the hands of politicians, used to compel liquor dealers to vote with the party in power on penalty of confiscation of property and imprisonment of person." Gull Hamilton,speaking of prohibl itiou in Maine, says in the North i American Review: "The actual result is that liquor is sold to all who wish to obtain it in nearly every town in the State. Enforcement of the prohibition law seems to have but little effect. For I the lust six years the city of Bangor has practically had free rum. In more than one hundred places liquor is sold, and no attempt is made to enforce the law. In Bath, Lewiston, Augusta and other cities no real difficulty is experienced in procuring liquor. In Portland enforcement of the law has been faithfully attempted, yet the liquor traflic flourishes I for all classes from the highest to % the lowest. ' t Bishop Satterlee says:5'Prohibition I h?3 been tried in other places and it I has been found wanting. In Maine, I ^$hicL has been pointed out as the I first place where prohibitory laws I were enacted, prohibition is a farce." ft Bishop Neely of Maine says: "The I clubs are simply coteries of young I men who call themselves clubs and I ^et together and have their bottles K O w in the closets. I aui sure these clubs L have a very bad effect, in that young K men who never drank at all previ ously have done so in the sicrecy of; the club, as they call it; they would | not be seen drinking publicly, but ! tluv do it in the club rooms." j Up to 1^50 there had been no pro. ihibitiou in Ma'ne. In that vear there tin the penitentiaries of that State j 1100 convicts, or 171 convicts to ev-1 cry million of population, lietweeu 1>30 and 1S0O prohibition became! the law of the State, and in the lat- j ; ter year the number of criminals had i increased to 225, or '15^ to every,' ! million of population. The number of criminals further increased in 1*?70 to 2t>l, in 1SS0 to 405 and in I 11904 to 49(5, or to TOO convicts for 'every million of population. There were, therefore, in Maine, j in 1904. after fifty veers of prohibi-j 1 tion, more than four fiims o,< ninny \ ! criminals for every million popula-1 ' tion as there were in the same State' j before it had prohibition. *****sv The United States census I show that three only of thee. .. j of the Union have ever suffered a decrease in population. One of these,: Nevada, is a mining State exclusive-' t 1 J ly, and the fluctuation in its popula-1 j tion is due to the transient nature of, mining population, which comes and I goes as mining excitement arises or 1 subsides. rrn _ . .,i. _ l?.,,.,, i 1 life two in utr oiaies suuviiug ? |decrease in population, Maine and; ! New Hampshire, were prohibition! : states, and the loss occurred during j : a decade ot intense prohibitory agi- ! ; tation. This might seem merely in- J jCidental, if it were not given signiti- j i eance by the more general fact that j 'all Slates, without exception, which; have adopted prohibitory laws have j increased iu population less rapidiy ! after their adoption than before, and; also by the fact that iu a majority of I the States the repeal ,of the law was! followed by an increased percentage j I of growth in population over that | ienjoyed by them under prohibition. , j These statements could be demonstrated by an analysis of the census ! reports, but it would consume too ; much space to make the denionstra- j ! tion.
