Progress under the Liquor Law.

We are glad to notice very gene
raj disposition to see fair play in the
execution of the Vermont Liquor Law.
Men found violating its provisions have
been made to suffer its penalties, eth
err by an arrest ofthcir bodies or the
destruction Of their bad spirits. Few
are disposed to interfere. This is as
it should be. If the law is defective.
as many good temperance men believe
it to be, let its defects be proved by a
faithful and practical demonstration.
IF on the other hand, the law is what
its friends claim, that it is just abowt
the very thing needed to crush the
hideous monster of incompetence and
its attendant vices, let its efficiency be
fully and fairly tested. Should it
really prove to be practically efficient,
thousands who voted against it. or who
would not vote at all, will very natu-
rally fall into its support, or ac9uiesce,
Notwithstanding some defects in its
construction. Law is law" and we
are law-abiding. Fair play is what
all want, and what all ought to have.
An arrest, the law, was made in
Windsor last week. The one arrest
cd disclosed, according to law and was
fined $40 and costs for resisting the
officer.

partner, Mr.. Palmer. agent under the
