THE HIGH LICENSE FRA I'D.

1t is the standing argument of
high license advocates that prohibit
ton is not and cannot be enforced :;
that there is more drinking and more
drunkenness under it than under the
wise and of course thoroughly en-
forced restrictions of high license.
Thus they argue, in the interest of
temperance and morality give us
high license
Now it is generally acknowledged
that Massachusetts has an excellent
example of a high license law. 1t
embodies high license fees, restricted
licenses, local option, with all the
lesser restrictions which our license
friends assure us are right and
proper and beneficial to the cause of
true temperance. The Boston Her
aid will probably be accepted as a
witness friendly to the license cause,
and here is its testimony, quoted by
that other estimable friend of tenn
perance and morality, the New York
Sun:
More people are brought into the police
stations entirely unconscious from the
drinking of liquor than was the case
some years ago, and more of them die
while in that condition. The police lay
it entirely to the quality of the liquor
drunk, and say the cause is the result of
high license and II o'clock closing. On
account of the high tax for selling intox-
icants, dealers are tempted to sell manu-
featured" liquor so as to make a big
profit and on the other hand, those who
drink liquor are very apt to buy bottle
of stuff when the saloons close up at II
O'Clock, so that they can continue their
spree. Others purchase by the bottle be-
causeitis cheaper than by the drink, and,
having it with them, are tempted to
drink three times the amount they other
wise would were they to go from saloon
to saloon and purchase it by the glass.
The Sun heads this, Fruits of
Prohibition in Boston" Prohibition
in Boston! The old city of the Puri
tan is under the benign influence of
high license and its fruits are detailed
in the above quoted paragraph.
We wish to call attention to the
fact, amply illustrated by this cita-
ton, that as soon as a highly restric
tive high license law is obtained, the
same advocates of temperance and
morality will revamp the old anti
prohibition arguments to bolster up
their case for the removal of the
more severe of the high license re-
strictiOns. The Boston Herald, hav-
ing argued for high license, when it
became necessary to stave off pro-
hibitory legislation in Massachu-
sets, is now knocking the pedestal
from under the false gods it has set
up, Just as its Rutland namesake
would be found doing by and by if it
achieved the substitution in Yer
mont of high license for a prohib-
itory law.
1t should be clearly understood
that it is not friendship for temper
ance, but friendship for the rum traf-
fic, that animates the opponents of
prohibition.

MUNIcIPALs UFFRAGEFo FOR WOMEN.

A few years ago a party of news
paper men were discussing the ques-
ton of suffrage for women.
81 don't see what logic Or reason
can be given in favor of it," said one.
ION the contrary replied another
of the group" the suffragists have
logic and reason all on their side
The difficulty is that the world, par
ticularly its legislatures, is not run
by logic and reason"
The second speaker was a close OBJ
server, serious, clear-headed
thinker, and not by any means an
enthusiastic advocate of woman suf-
frage, but he was wise enough to see
where the argument lay and that
prejudice and not judgment kept
women from the ballot box.
Would it not do excellently well
for Vermont to show that logic and
reason do have a controlling in
fuence in her legislature councils.
Any ground in reason or common
sense for refusing municipal suffrage
to women who pay taxes is hard
to find One by one the stock argu-
ments against this reform have been
exploded and about all its opponents
RELY on now is the slim excuse that
"a majority of women don't want
it." Suppose they don't. Is that
any reason for refusing to those who
do see a need of the ballot privilege
to which they are manifestly en-
titled ,

stanley AND HIS OFFICERS.

The lamentable differences between
Mr.. Stanley and the officers of the
rear guard of the Emin relief expedi-
ton grow daily more complicated
and it is impossible for the general
public to obtain a just idea of the
right of the acrimonious debates
which are continually arising. The
plain fact appears to be that the Off
GERS of the expedition, including the
chief, are the victims of misunder-
standings which seem destined to
mar all great exploring expeditions.
In the case of the Inflated Jeanette
party similar misunderstanding and
recriminations arose. They marked
yet more unpleasantly the return of
the Greeley expedition, and in Mr..
Stanley's case they seem to be exag-
gerated by his impetuous temper and
the irritating circumstances of the
trials which have made all the par
ties to the discussion impatient and
perhaps somewhat unreasonable.
Whatever may be their explana-
ton, the existence of these disagree
ments is none the less regrettable
and the recent publication of Mr.
Rose Troup's correspondence with
Stanley emphasizes them forcibly.

lICtl S(lIOlciI Liz gave a dS-
tailed account of the history and cir
cumstances concerning the founding
of the agricultural college and its
association with the University of
Vermont. He contended that by the
terms of the compact the union was
to be perpetual. The only real point
he made was that the trustees had
formulated plans for the expenditure
of the new appropriation to be re-
ceived, whereas the projectors pre-
sented no definite plans for consider
alton. The other phases of the sub
ject discussed have been previously
treated. No new facts were brought
to light. Tonight the university
people will present their case further
A joint resolution invites Hon. John
w. Stewart to address the commit
tee at time it suits his own con-
venience and which he will do at an
early date. He is strongly in favor
of a new college and his opinions will
have much weight.

are not suffering the grass to grow
under their feet. With an array of
legal talent consisting of ex-Gov.

they are stubbornly contesting every
inch of ground. Pres. Buckham and
Prof Cook are familiar figures at
the state house and Pavilion. 1t is
the intention of its supporters to
bring the bill before the House at the
earliest possible moment. Friends
of the measure claim clear majority
in the House and feel confident of
carrying the Senate. Many oppon-
ents of the bill concede its success in
the House, but claim the Senate will
vote adversely. A compromise, the
