Violations of Prohibitory Law I. u , ' Throughout Maine. 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 , . : I him out ' in such cases.

H. N. PRINGLE. , "Waterville , Me. , Sept. 20 , 1909. " - - 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. MRSI STEVENS AND PROHIBITION MAINI ! I President oi W. C. f. U. De I . . scribes Conditions in That State. . µ POUD ARGUS DEMURS "The Flow of Liquor Pours Steadil l and Constantly Into Maine Through Well Known Chan- . nels" - The Record of i ' i ' , , i . Drunks. , . _ l. , ! ' ! . - - - - . - , . . - 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. " - - - t 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 More than that ; , oJr'stre ts , soon ' ' tl'e'effectii !

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. . ' . " . . \ The Loup Valley Hereford Uanch.
