Strike out the Top Line on each Paper The Hon. William T. Haines, Governor of Maine, says:— The grdcer and dfygoodsman, especially the retailer who is dependent upon popular sentiment for his trade and is naturally timid, now thoroughly believe that they have better business and make more money when the labouring man takes home his pay check to his wife , without interference or being waylaid by the rumseller on the way. The contractor and builder find, with the enforcement of the Maine law, a full crew on Monday morning, ready to go to work, with their heads clear and their hand's steady. The doctor is no longer telling patients that alcohol is' a good remedy. The bankers and economists of oilr State have only to look at our bank reports to find that, with a population of only about 742,000 people, we have assets in our 48 savings banks, 44 trust companies, and 37 loan and building associations amounting to> 165,784,505 dollars, or an average of about 224 dollars! for every inhabitant of the State, which something of an argument that "prohibition does prohibit"; 233,159 people ,in our State have deposits in our, savings banks averaging 401' dollars. The/gain in our savings banks deposits annually for the past 10 years has been about 6,500,000 dollars, running from" 4,000,000 dollars to 11,000,000 dollars each year. These figures are something of an argument in favour of the Maine law. It is estimated that we shall take from people Jiving outside of the State during the'present year for entertainment on our seashore and inland lakes, through our railroads, hotels, cottages, boarding-houses, guides, summer schools, and other ways in which we serve a foreign population annually with,our scener.y, sea coast, fish, and game, over 50,000,000 dollars. The whisky trust advocates have strenuously insisted that we. could not maintain this business with an enforcement of the prohibitory law; but I am pleased to'report that the proprietor of the largest hotel in the city of Portlaud, the largest city in our State, and which is coming to be considered our. largest summer-resort point, told me last August that .his hotel had broken all records for guests; also, that Portland had probably the best season for summer business that it has ever had, and this with the most strenuous enforcement of the prohibitory law it has had for years. ; INCREASE OF FIFTY PER CENT IN STATE REVENUE i The Hon. Locke Craig, .Governor of North Carolina, says:^— : As to the effect of prohibition upon the finances of North Carolina, iSvill say that the total revenues from all sources during the year 1908, the last year during which whisky was sold under license, were 2,866,439.62 dollars. During the year 1913, the last year under prohibition, the total receipts from all sources were 4,297,000 ; dollars; ■ In 190S, the last year that wMsky was sold, the average term of the public, schools in North Carolina •was' barelyfour months. counties in the Stato will have a full six months" term, and in some counties it will be much more. North Carolina has never known in ell her history a period of greater prosperity than that through which she has passed since prohibition was adopted. Real estate in all of the cities and larger towns has greatly enhanced in value, and every line of business has prospered. I do not claim the abounding prosperity now prevailing in North Carolina is altogether due to prohibition, but I do assert that the well-being of the State is in no way impeded by our prohibition law, but on the contrary is entirely consonant with it. / ; Strike out the Top Line on each Papsr •»,CISFIT AND LEFT-OFF CLOTHING.
