Prohibition Results in Maine

The Hon. Neal Dow gives the results of prohibition in the State of Maine, in the following pithy sentences:—

"Every distillery and brewery has been suppressed; there is not one remaining in the State. The liquor traffic has been reduced at least to one-twentieth of its former volume. In more than three-fourths of the State, containing more than three-fourths of our population, the traffic is practically unknown. All our rural districts, our smaller towns and villages, have been delivered from the curse of the saloons, where they were numerous and obtrusive in the old rum time."
