Local Option in New Jersey.
Iron the Public.Iedeer1


Mr. Editor The village of Haddonield,
six miles from Camden, on the Atlantic City
road. has just had lis second election under a
Local Option act. and has confirmed, by
majority OF nearly two to one. the continuance
of prohibition against liquor selling in the
township of Haddon. The three taverns that
swere fdtmerly in the village were closed du-
ring the first perind of IN" License" and
one was converted into temperance house.
The increased prosperity of the village, and
its greater desirabfeuess as residence during
this period, seems to have won over h large
number to the '.No LiceIse" side. for ii is
notable that the ajority Jus. given was con.
siderably more than double !thas at the frs
election, two years ago.
Those who study popular movements as
we'll as all who are more nearly interested for
and against, have given attention to this
election entirely out of proportion TO the mere
numerical strength of the vote, which, count
ing both parties, is less than 500. The
reason probably is that Haddonfield is the only
place near such great trade centre as Phil
adeIphia where prohibition has been so sus.
tanned that every drinking place has been
closed, and where the measure has steadily
gathered strength with its continuance in
free. Tie people of the community made
the movement a religious one, and gathered
in fnrce at the churches as we'll az at the polls.
n" chance now remains of reviving the sale
OF liquor in this place, except hv bringing
the legislative power of the whole Site to de-
feat the popular will in one community
There are politicians ready to do this. but it
would be an uneracious act, which the ren>
ple of the State. nav watching the case with
much interest, might not be found TO sustain.

Local Option Success in Delaware

Though not by any means perfect the pres

one-sn advance in.the right direction what
ever tends to lessen iutemperance, and it can
not be denied that it hiss decreased it among
US the past two or three years, is eottlcd to
the confidence and support OF the community.
In Delaware county the recalls have been un-
douutedly beneficial there has been far less
drinking; large numbers of mon 'ezho we're in
the habit of spending their surplus earnings
in tippling-not hard drinking-who wore
threadbare clothes. and could scsrcely tmake

Its not 0urcriminal cases resulting from in
temperance, have largely diminished through
out the county. vastly reducing the cost OF
legal prosecution to our tax payers; while
from Chester. they hare shown an alarming
Increase. These significant facts. but
there is reliable data to sustain them. Do
you see the same idle, loungiug, blnated
crowds hanging around the hotels of Della

there! No sir! nothing of the kind

Prohibition Does Prohibit.

Wherever the prohibitory law has had
fair trial it has resulted in great good to the
community. The traffic has been greatly cur
tailed, taxes have been reduced fails and poor
houses have been emptied. There are whole
counties in Maine without dssm>shop and
without person in the jaiIs. It is as effrc>
tive against the dram>shops as any other law
agains, crime where 1t rs e1forced. The great
cities of Massachusetts and Maine do not en-
force it sufficiently, because the politicians
and political editors d" not wish it enforced :;
when they proclaim it failure. they only con-
Tess themselves t" he failures. and should be
themselves suppressed
