The results of the liquor crusade over
in Brattleboro, will be eagerly watched.
In the raids last week, the billiard rooms
with barrooms attached and other sa-
looms were searched and considerable
stuff was seized, claimed, in most cases,
to be notwithstanding beer. The hotels
were unmOlested. These searches seem
to have been the outcome of several
months delite 'ation on the part of the
village authorities and so should hardly
be expected to end in an immediate fiz-
zle. 1t is certainly to be hoped that it
will not, as each succeeding failure, fur
nishes strong arguments against future
attempts. Should Brattleboro succeed
in showing a practical working of the
prohibitOry law, a great victory will be
gained for the cause of prohibition. The
BrattebOro Phoenix urges strong en-
forcement of the law, not only against
the lower class of saloons but against
the hotels, for ''in ultimate enforcement
of the law, there must be nothing that
savors of favoritism or personal influ-
ence." There is another demand that
the Phonix makes, and which should be
needed, that is, the enforcement of the
law relating to the renting of real estate
for the sale of liquors. Under the law
the man who knowingly rents building
for saloon purposes, is punishable under
the law, rs well as the person who does
the selling.
