Albany. Maine and Prohibition. (Oregonlan Sept. 27, 1909.) Methodist Episcopal Church, Sey mour Williams, Pastor, Camas., Wash.. Sept. 25. (To the Editor.) In your paper of today is an article taken from the Oregon Observer (Grants Pass) entitled: "Is Local Option a Failure?" In the said arti cle are some references to the state of Maine that are misleading to those who are seeking light on this live question. The Observer says: "Maine has pon" dad except in the matter of prohibition." If educational facilities are an Indication that the state is dead, the Observer is correct, for the state of Maine has more schools in proportion to the popula tion and more teachers in proportion to the pupils than any other state in the Union.

Furthermore, the Observer alludes to the state of Maine as having sac rificed her prosperity. Congress man Littlefield says: "Maine has In her savings banks $95.22 for every inhabitant; Illinois has only $13.43; Kentucky, none; Ohio, $10.71; Pennsylvania, $16.72, and while the population of Maine since 1850 has Increased only 20 per cent, her valu ation per capita has increased 252 per cent." Maine's per capita wealth in 1902 was $982. Where has her prosperity been sacrificed? Where Is the license state that has as large per capita wealth? SEYMOUR WILLIAMS. i Prohibition Prohibited $79,030,74:1.- 60 Worth. That Is the official statement of the United States government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, the comparison being with the previ ous year. The drop In the produc tion of whiskey was $4,S28,268 gal lons, being more than 3 per cent of the previous year's production. The decrease in the beer item was 2,444,- auu co-operating with the Law and Order League In driving law breakers from the state. The claim that as much liquor is sold as before Is a bald fake. Ohio Is almost a dry state, except In those counties where the large cities are situated. "The number of arrests has de creased from 50 to 75 per cent In all the cities that I have visited, where the saloons have been closed. In some instances the percentage ran as high as 90, and police courts have become almost obsolete so far as ex ercising their functions Is concerned. "Manufacturers without exception have told me that men are better off since the dry election. Merchants say the laboring people are buying more groceries and other articles for the home than formerly. Bankers declare the ordinary man Is putting more money on deposit than ever be fore. Some of the wettest of the wets before election assure me that the dry town Is the most prosperous town, that the few months' experi ence has convinced them, and that It another election were to be held Im mediately they would vote with the temperance side.

ONE POUND 25 CENTS SOLD BY GROCERS Finds Alxiut the Effect of No License. The Cleveland News has never been accused of being a temperance paper. In fact, It Is considered to have leaned the other way, but It sent a staff correspondent over the state of Ohio to report wet and dry conditions, and here are the conclu sions this corespondent reached: "Retail business has not been ma terially damaged In Ohio by- the closing of the saloons In 62 out of S8 counties. While an attempt Is made to sell liquor and beer In nearly all the towns, the watch for bootleggers and speakeasies Is vigil ant and almost without exception the city officials are obeying the Page ace The Fence that OUTLASTS THEM ALL.

On this point the Internal Revenue reports are an enlightening. They show that dur ing 1908 the revenues dropped $17,- 000,000, which ran be ascribed to only one cause. The amount of dis tilled spirits for the same period de creased forty-one million gallons. "History may repeat Itself, and the saloons of America may be re opened, but Just at present they are being driven off the American map, and throughout Ohio I am able after a thorough Investigation of the sub ject to state positively that the peo ple are pretty generally satisfied that It Is so. "There has always been a division of opinion on the subject, and there doubtless always will be, but the majority rules In Ohio and throughout America, and It begins to look as If the majority would soon have n white ribbon In the lapel of its coat." Hence we see that the Cleveland News lias secured and published evi dence showing that the liquor Inter ests are everywhere misrepresenting the facts. Union Signal. Estate of Edgar Able, deceased.
