M :
Rev. , VH. N. Pringle of Waterville ,
\ I .
f Me. , has just made a thorough per-
sonal examination of conditions in
Portland touchip ; the open , illegal
sale . of liquor.e ' is a prohibitionist. I .
His written report reads as follows : j
"The Odiorn Bottling company , i
64 -62 Cross street , was raided on - my ,
complaint , on Sept. 7 and about $1,000
worth of intoxicating liquors were
seized. . We found af this place an imI I
mense " quantity of empty bottles and !
, , jug3 in the basement and on each oi
the two floors above. I think it would'
be a conservative estimate that there
} were 1,500 barrels of 'empties' in this
, e.sta . blishmen t - In one room Hiere was
a row of bins which would hold about
ten tons of coal each. These were
filled with empty jugs and beer bot-
tles like the full- ones found'at the .
. boat and train sheds the next night.
In. one part of the building were . 300
barrels of empty beer bottles ready
. . . . - for shipment to St. Louis. At least
. / " $3,000 worth of empty bottles were
left at this establishment , instead ot
being confiscated for the benefit of the
county. I understand that the county
officials not only neglect to make such
confiscations , but have recently assist-
ed Massachusetts brewers In recov ,
.
- ering their empty beer bottles.
' "These disclosures are made in be-
half of enforced prohibition and rep-
resent , we submit , more intelligent
support of the temperance cause tlian
the misrepresentation of Wm. H. An
derson , Washington , D. C. , the nation
al legislative superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League . who in a full
page article says ( American Issue ,
, Chicago , Sept. 11 , 1909) ) : 'We made
two ' visits to Portland and took par
ticular pains to ride abqut on the
, street cars and to walk the streets in
- different parts of the city very
th roughl ) ' . We are willing to admit
that possibly some of these glib cor-
respondents are telling the truth
Vf-hen they say that they can get lIq-
uor , for after a fellow becomes suf- I
ficiently soaked in it he develops a
. sort of instinct or affinity which helps ,

pal court. Evidence obtained by pur-
chase or seizures of intoxicants is
used' for only one or two charges , in
stead of the maximum number. Clerks ,
instead of proprietors , are usually ar
rested when seizures are made.Vilen

Drunkenness Increases.
Commenting upon the above report ,
, the Portland Daily Argus of Sept. ( 24
(1909) ( ) 'saysn _ , !
"Here we have the testimony of a ;
' '
strong prohibitionist that the' liquor
law is laxly enforced in Portland , and
, that the sort of enforcement in vogue .
'is a shame. ' and he produces the evi I
dence to back up his statements. He
finds that'the volume of liquor sales I
has not diminished ; there has been ,
simply a change in methods. 'There
seems to be more anxiety in Portlanc ,
lest the Sturgis deputies be sent there
than there is lest liquor selling and
drunkenness increases , so that license
cities put Portland to shame. ' 'The
coming of the Sturgis deputies is
feared by the politicians says Mr.
Pringle , in his letter to the Argus. No
doubt. But what have the Sturgis
commissioners to do with the fears of
the politicians ? Why should their
action be affected by such fears ?
Their business is to enforce the law ,
without fear or favor , and' without re
gard to the schemes of politicians. "
There is a statute forbidding the
sale of liquor to a drunkard. Any
licensed liquor seller violating this
law may be held responsible for re-
sulting pauperism and his ' bondsmen
may : ! "be usd to pay cost of maintain- !
: ng such pauper.

Some of the best daily newspapers
of 'Maine are giving testimony of the
failure of prohibition. The Portlanc i I
, Daily Argus of Sept. 18 , 1909 , con
tained the following editorial :
. , : ' "The prohibitory law throughout
our state js" enforced better than- foi
many years , and as a whole it has
I
never been better enforced than now. ' .
I
That h ; the news Mrs. Stevens brought
to "her W. C. T. U. audience in Bangor
this , vecJIf thenevs be true it
strikes us as one of the hardest blows .
prohibition has received in many , a
day. If after over half a century of
experience the prohibitory law hae , '
never been better enforced than now , '
its record Is one of continuous fail-
arc on prohibition tbstt > noony. Hofr
.
is the law enforced now ?
What are the evidences . ? Here In l'
Portland , the leading city of the state
enforC ment . fcatr bt en . showy ! ; to iJe'l :
.1 . /
sham , r-iv * to compel tne ( seizures ? :
liquor by wholesale which have been
referred to as evidence that the law
was being strictly enforced. So no
torious have been conditions here ,
that only a few weeks ago the Stur-
gis commissioners threatened Sturgis
enforcement. That the threat has not
been carried out further -indicates the
humbug of enforcement in Cumberland
county. In. York county things are
little better. We quoted the other
cay what the Rev. Father Dupont felt
constrained to declare publicly In
cLurch last Sunday , of his - experience
in Biddeford : "During tile many ye"ars
I have lived in Biddeford' I have never
seen so many , drunks on thp street in
tne day as I saw a week ago today. "
And "the prohibitory law has never
been better enforced than now ! " In
Androscoggin county similar condi- <
tions prevail , although the Bounty [ is
infested with Sturgis deputies. As
for Penobscot county , a sufficiently
vivid ' idea of the prohibition farce . in
Bangor is . given in yesterday's ciis
patch to the effect that while the W.
C. T. U. parade went down the street
"the saloons were running as usual. "
That is what they have been doing for
years ; apparently that is what they
will continue to do for years to come.
And these are but the surface signs
of an "enforcement" which Mrs.
Stevens asserts is the best the state
has had .in years.
Under the surface the flow o'f _ liq
uor pours steadily and constantly in
through well known : channels , and is
distributed through all varieties oi
agencies. The record of drunk ar
rests tells the story---P-ortland' , for In
stance , with a per capita average
three or four times that of ' 'wettest
Milwaukee ; " Bangor with a record un
der the Sturgis regime wjhich ex
ceeds any annual exhibit in her , his. , '
tor ) ' . And so it goes. And yet , ac
cording to Mrs. Stevens , the law has
never been better enforced in the his
tory of the state than now ! What a
confession of failure this is ! '
But no evidence of failure can dis
turb Mrs. Stevens. Since that lady
is a professional prohibit.lonist , this is
not surprising. Prohibition advocacy
is her business , and naturally she la
not going to undermine her business.
Let the failure of prohibition be grosp
and payable : , Mrs. : Stevens is ready
with her argument in its favor. Pro
hibition at its worst , she declares , 13
better than license or\any system'
regulation. Fanaticism of this ex ;
treme defies facts and common sense
It is not to be argued with , but ex
hibited as illustrating the length tt
which fanaticism will go. As for .the
assertion , the facts of experience
make it ridiculous. Of the fifteen , oi
sixteen states that long ago tried pro
hibition , not prohibition at Its worst
but just prohibition of the ordinary
type , nearly all of them have-discard
ed it , ' after prolonged trial , for some
practical system of regulation , and not
one of them shows any inclination to
repeat the experiment. Facts do not
disturb Mrs. Stevens and her cult but
facts are stubborn things that cannof
be talked' down.
The Worcester Dnily Teleg.nm'
_ a year published every day a com
parison of -the arrests for drunkenness
for . that day and the same day undei
license ; why has t Yforcester Dailj
Telegram ceased publishing these fig
ures ? Because , as in' the case of At '
, fanta , Ga. ; drunkenness " has increased
rapidly as to wipe out the favorablfi
margin and show a balance on tht
other side. : " " , .

Unsupported statements that prohi-
bition can or cannot be enforced' are <
of little value. The reader must have
the proof from those who know.
Dr.Joseph P. Pecival , a prom-
inent physician of Norfolk , Neb. ,
in' a letter dated Sept. 27 , 1909 ,
says : ' "I lived in Kansas , for four
and a half years , and during that time
I -became thoroughly disgusted with
the way the liquor question was ban -
died there. I visited ' the old town
tWQ weeks ago and Jn a town of about
1,000 people I saw eight 'drunks in
one day : , which is possible only in a
prohibition state. Sfrict regulation
and local license is the only system
-
for regulating the traffic. "
Dr. , J. F. Callen , editpr and propri-
etor of the Pittsburg Kansan , under . . :
date of Sept. 29 , 1909 , writes : " "l\lr :
paper is outspoken. , in opposition to <
prohibition. I am prepared to prove <
prohibition to be the greatest incubus
to business ever invented. I am op-
posed' to prohibition because I ' 'hav
seen the business wrecks that strev
its pathway. I am a temperate mai
and . in favor of temperance. ' "
In the Pittsburg Kansan of Oct. 2.
appears an item about the arrest of
the keeper of a "blind tiger , " as fol
lows : "Saturday the ' police swoopet :
\
down upon a parcel express and draj :
man named Ed Gibson , who has beer
doing a land office business in boozt
for three months past. Gibson got a
bondsman who gave bail , in the sun
of $500 for his appearance Monday
morning , but when Monday mornIng
arrived' Gibson had flown and the
bondsman is In debt to the city $500 (
if he cannot produce his client. Gib-
son packed his dray that he had been
using to haul booze in and departed '
for Missouri between two suns. In
Gibson's departure Rev. Durboraw of
the Eighth street Methodist church
loses a tenant and his stable on the
rear of his parsonage next to the
church is now vacant. One box of
beer' was all that was left there the
first of the weetc : to show the business
that had been going on for months in
the shadow of the church and on the
premises of the pastor. A well beaten
path through the allev shows where
the\ , thirsty wended their way for irri
gation supplies. .When the attention
of Rev. Durboraw was called to this
fact by the Kansan , he explained that
the people - on Eighth and Ninth
streets usecTthe aIley / . a great deal.
He said he had to ad r , .t the transac
tion was a joke on him. But had t'.ie :
editor of the Kansan rented his barn
to some one and the renter turned it ,
into a blind tiger supply house and
ran it for three months we are lotn
to think Rev. Durboraw would ' regard
it as a joke . rom his point of view.
Another peculiar thing Is that our
lynx eyed and keen l nosad policemen ,
who are accused of breaking } into
sleeping rooms of tenant houses and
ransacking other barns and outhouses ,
passed to and fro witb.'n a stone'
throw of this place hunting booze ven ,
ders and never even smellecj } this
place. The superintendent of the same
church .rented a barn to a blind tiger
keeper on East Seventh street a
onple of years and had a padlock in
junction plared on it. It will now be
' i order for Brother Wooley , the
ounty attorney , to padlock the stable
) ' the Methodist parsonage .in order
" ( prevent the pastor renting aeain to
: ' me one to run .the same kind of
"isiness. In face of these and other
s uilar instances , Rev. Durboraw still
ntends that prohibition is a success I
and does ; not create hypocrites. "

The Qld Story.
R. D. Wilson , editor of the Kimball ,
I
Neb. , Observer , resided in Kansas for I
fifteen years. ' He writes : "The little I
town in which I lived in Kansas was I
what is termed a "wet"-town. For
many years we had two joints , oper-
ated under the fine levy system. Every
. nonth the marshal arrested the joint
l : eepers for selling liquor illegally
and : they paid a fine of $50 and , costs
per month. A preacher came along
.nd put them out of business. After
that there was more drunkenness : ,
and the formerly good town became - " "
dead. The large number of farmers . ,
who formerly came to town went to
other places. : With the open saloon "
the "city' dads , " of whom I was one
ould vcontrpl the sale of liquor , close j .1'
the places on Sunday : and at 11 o'clock
p. m. , and at any time regulate them
and say who should not get liquor.
After they we-e closed the bootieggers '
got busy , and wei never could in any
case lay our finger on the v culprit

[ I. Rev. " ' ' pPm'gle's Letter.
I Commenting upon other seiz-
. ures of liquor , the Daily : Ar
I gus says : "If these wholesale liquor
seizures do not indicate that the liquc
I business ' flourishes in this town , we
should like ! to know what they do in-
I dicate. Not only have we the facts
themselves but we have test mon
I which we suppose the Express wiU
hardly care to question. This ) Rev. 'Mr.
Pringle , who has just given a denioi :
stration , of the sort of 'eriforcemen
I
" the local authorities nave oeea put-
ting up , will not be classed as a- 'de- -
fender of the liquor traffic , ' even by
the Express. : \V-hat does Mr. Pringle
say of the , liquor business conditions
as he found them in Portland ? Why * ; .
in his le.tter to the * , sheriff a week ago
he wrote : 'Last week , In yojur coui -
ty and city I bought intoxicants by the
. case , jjug , bottle and glass at hotel
and express offices , on the premise ; ,
or delivered promptly on telephone
request , or as it was peddled by the
warfeon load from house to house. The
only place where I looked for lifliic !
and failed to find it was where we '
went with a search warrant. ' Here is i
evidence of a liquor business suf :
ficiently wide open for practical pui .
poses , that shows what prohibition in
the chief city of the state amounts to.
And this condition is not the result
of any sudden change , as in Worces
ter or the southern cities just placed <
under prohibition rule , but it follows
upon half a century of prohibitory , la\
and experience the home state and
home city. of prohibition ! These
wholesale seizures .are but an incident
demonstrating condi ions , the normal
conditions in Portland. They do not
indicate the ultimate triumph of la\
enforcement. They were made at the
instance of an outsider , and the loca
authorities were simply compelled tc
act upon his information. The expo
sure made by him furnished another
illustration of the farce of prohibitIon
in Cumberland county , as elsewhere In
Maine. ' It has also bro-isht about a ;
spasm of enforcement , willy n . ' lly . lv
we may be sure that it is only a
spasm. The influences that have brei
potent in the past for lax enforcement
will ! be equally potent in the futtve
They are in temporary abeyance only
After the present flurry shall he 9ver :
they will again be in evidence in un
diminished force. So it always has
been under prohibition , and so it al
ways will be. Meantime , it is , not
strange that Bangor protests against ;
the leniency extended toward Port
land in spite of its liquor selling ex
hibit , when that city is singled out
for concentrated Sturgis enforcement.
No wonder the Bangor Commercial ,
after ! ' setting forth that exhibit ' ex-
claims :
" 'And yet in spite of such facts as
these the Sturgfs commission sees fit
to confine its efforts to Bangor , Lew-
iston and one or two other places and
let Portland severely alone. When
liquor can be so easily obtained it is
hardly sufficient for the reply to be
made that the local authorities are
"handling " the situation. . ' . " . .
