 The rum dealers are already "pipe laying" for the October meeting, when the license question again comes up for action. Those having prosecutions hanging over them work with the greater desperation because of the general theory that vote to license nullifes all preceding charges. Bnt it does not, all the same, and should not. We shall be greatly disappointed if the town votes license this fall and loses the benefits of the good work put in dur ing two past years. We don't want to go back to the reign of rum sellers and rum drinkers, nor do the majority of the voters of Stafford feel such desire. The only hope of the friends of the saloons lies ill the apathy which may keep large num- Der of the better class of voters from com ing out to the town meeting.
