NEW HAMPsHIRE's overwhelming de-
Seat Of the Prohibition amendment ought
to teach lesson of moderation to the
prohibitionists. If they are not abso-
1utely impracticable they might learn
4hat the mass Of people are unwilling to
attempt the impossible. All men admit
that there should be restraints upon the
liquor traffic. All men admit TINT
drunkenness should be punished. No
matter for what reasons, the great mass
OF men are unwilling to make laws reach
5ng beyond those bounds. Only small
minority Of men in small com
munities are willing to- strictly
enforce even those laws. Local
option in small communities is the
only restrictive law which has ever been
successful That has only been partially
successful Prohibition is failure in
Rhode Island and it viii be repealed. 1t
has been failure everywhere else. The
best that can be done then is to accept
local option laws The Prohibitionists
would be wise to take what they can get
and use the laws that can be enforced
until they shall found community OF
angels. Then they can easily enforce Pro-
hibition. They should recognize that
they have to do with men now--and very
human men, too.

Legislative Committee on Thursday
might, the city will save large sum OF
money, and the citizens win be relieved
of two or more Troublesome elections.
This is an improvement on the sugges-
lion of the Citizens Committee in several
respects. First, it enables the city to
save the expense Of two elections, which
is estimated at 81, 900 each. Second. il
makes the election for city officers all
fall on the same day, thus relieving the
citizens Of the trouble of the two inter
vening elections for members of the City
Council. The terms of the entire body
will terminate on the same day. Then
at a general election only twelve mem
bers viii be elected for term Of three
years. It is safe to say that this bill win
meet with general approval, because an
almost similar bill has been recommended
BY the Citizens Committee which was
generally approved because of its eco.
nomicai and trouble saving features.
The present Council is very satisfactory
and there is no use Of the holding Of an
election and taking the trouble and in.
