To the Voters and Property Tax Payers
 of North CanAan.

Of North CanAan.
 The tune for settling the question of license in this state for another year is approaching and should be settled pro bono publico.
 It is said. left to one's self, mans tendency is downward; and un)ess a nation obeys Its wholesome laws It is sure to decline in moral force." Per haps the No License vote has been left to care for itself too much and so cor responding moral decline is felt, in 2 measure. It is probably true that Ger. tain people are looking into the rights of good citizens more and more, and watching the trend of issues closer thar ever before The State league is dissem. mating it's influence over more and more area, as we'll in License as in Nc License towns, 80 better and better government may reasonably be ex pected.
 One person formerly carrying on sur reptitious and illegal business in this town was suddenly overtaken and obliged to pay nearly e600 to get out ol the dilemma, and then left town be cause of'ill treatment. Three hundred and fifty -one dollars of the $500 wen into the town treasury without penny of expense. Possibly the circumstanct may Do duplicated by careful and legit innate manipulaiiops.
 Let us, legal voters. especially proper ty tax payers, continue little longer or the ''Licanse No" list and prevent mak ing ourselves allies to retrograde pro gress.
 It is a hazardous venture to triflt with state or town laws, though it may be done for time without retribution "Jack tbe Ripper" after his continuous persistent, intolerable outrages, is nov safely incarcerated within solid walls.
 The requisite number of names, re quired by law, has been secured to in oOI 0 CAduoO Au bhO WuAAlhk VI sOtO Ol the license question next Monday. Btu this list of names is an alteration which paragraph in the last issue O THE NEWS showed up tellingly. Pre- snmably the signers on that petition want license, ard most of them may st vote; some cannot vote at all, and oth CTS have already given evidence to thu contrary. Who are tbese signers? Arr they aggressive benefactors? Are the. representative business men of ou town? Are they men whom one woult select to sit m council to devise th best interests of the people? Are the, men interested for clean code 0 m orals?
 It is believed the very large ma iority of property tax payers o this town are not ready for license yet aud it is au imperative duty on the par of every voter to express that sentimen at the polls.
 Many of us know what condition thi town was in 15 and 20 years ago, wh. rum, raid and ruin reigned supreme and what it has been the past twelv years. It is clear enough to decid which period is preferable, even witt some hidden irregularities.
 Now then, legal voters of this Nortl Canaan. town, look this matter squarel on both sides; come out boldly ant cast "Lscense No" ballot and let it b counted on the side of principle, goo' order and sound government. Do no be inveigled into false ways by deceit | full arguments. Come out, be manl, and aim for right, justice and sobriety A PROPERTY TAX PAYER
