netests the Traffic.

Mr.. Editor: Inasmuch as you give
the readers of your paper the liberty of
discussing the present Vermont liquor
law, in your columns, beg the privil'
eye of little more space in reply to
some of the writers on the subject.
Perhaps some might get the impress
sion that am encouraging the traffic,
but on the contrary, am one of those
who detest it, as much perhaps as any
person Lying, and believe that to par
take or indulge in it, in any form, is I'M
necessary. And l am inclined to be-
lieve there might be substitute found
for the article for medical purposes.
But what can we do about it? The land
is full of it; always has been, and al
ways will bet flows like water.
l consider the argument of some
of the writers, who are in favor of the
present law, weak, and they don't get
us out of the dialemma.
Mr.. Bond harmonizes a license law
with horse stealing, and all other kinds
of theft, but fails to say how much less
of the ardent is sold and drank after
forty or fifty years of prohibition. And
he also fails to recognize the fact that if
men cannot get liquor in Vermont, there
are thousands of other places in the land
where they can obtain a supply; and,
furthermore, he don't tell us what bon
ANA it is for the liquor prosecutors
and the officers of the law.
Theft, and the buying and selling and
drinking of liquors, consider, are en-
tirely different. For the law on the
former, has a good effect, while On the
latter it don't amount to anything, what
ever.
Why not repeal a law that has been
tried and tested to the utmost for many
years, and no results are produced in
favor of it; and that when weighed in
the balance it is found wanting, and en-
act good license law? Then license a
few respectable houses in every town,
and IN chat way it will have tendency to
do away with thousands of sly places,
where the old and young can get it to
their liking.
