Prohibition VS.. License In Benning-
ton.

HILLsDALE, N. Y, Sept. 10th, 1894.
Mr.. Editor: If you will allow an in
terested outsider word in the discus
sion of prohibition against license in
Bennington, l will say, knowledge of
events transporting in recent years in this
place adds force, in my mind, to the as
sertion of one of your contributors, that
''you can never depend upon liquor men
of any quality or degree, to actively aid
in the suppression of the traffic"
Two years ago last spring, the editor
of our village paper and l accompanied
a large number of the representative la
dies of Hillsdale, in their attendance up
on a meeting of the Excise Board, called
for the purpose of granting licenses for
the ensuing year. We presented nu-
merously signed petition, and the editor
aad myself made speeches in behalf of
the petitioners, praying the Board to re-
fuse license to all applicants, and urging
them to give us, at least, one year of
prohibition. They compromised the
matter by reducing the number of Ii
censes, refusing the least reputable of
the applicants, and raising the price.
What was the result? Why, those who
were refused sold openly without license,
and those who received and paid for Ii
cense found fault with the temperance
people for not protecting them in their
rights (?) by closing up the places that
were dividing with them the profits,
while one of the violaters of law public
" defied the licensed dealers to move
against him, alleging, and, probably not
without cause, that they dare not do so,
because he could produce proof that they
themselves were habitually violating GER
tain provisions of the excise laws.
Consequently there was just as much,
and, l have no doubt, more liquor sold
in Hillsdale that year than the year be-
fore, and the following year the price of
license was reduced, and no applicants
were refused.
Is there any particular reason to sup
nose this experience exceptional?
Very truly yours, G. G. Cook.

He stated further that the business of
the company would be continued as u.s.
ual here, that the loss, whatever it was,
would not effect it, and the company
have appointed Clayton S. Mattison,
manager.
Mr.. Collins was supposed to be under
bonds, but it seems that the bonds he
sent on were not good, and this is sub
ject of some comment among the men,
bers of the Association. 1t is also said
that some bonds of the company that
Mr.. Collins had once owned had been
hypothicated, and some of the members
think that he had been making calcula-
tions for some time to leave. There is
one cause for thankfulness and that is
that financially it is no worse.
