The Laconia Press appears to doubt
the benefits of abolishing the open
saloon. We do not. The open saloon
is a curse to any community. While
may never be made impossible to
procure liquor. it is certain that the
closing of the saloons is a sure means
of curtailing the liquor traffic, and in
that much it diverts certain amount
of money from the dramseller's till
which may be and is. utilized for the
purchase of food Or clothing Or to
supply additional home comforts. We
are aware that this is the lowest level
upon which the arguments against
the open saloon may be based. We
seek it purposely in order that we
may not be deemed impractical. The
ethical grounds for hostility to- the
open saloon are far firmer than these;
but both the ethical and the practical
argument are plain and self conclu-

Neither crime, vice nor immortality
can be legislated out of the world.
These evils are with us to stay, and
the best we can do is to keep them in
check. The only question, then, is
what laws are best for this purpose?
Some people think that we ought to
license all vices, and, accordingly,
there have been laws in some parts of
the world, which licensed gambling,
Sabbath breaking and RIGHTEOUSNESS,
under certain restrictions, and such
laws are now in force in some coun-
tries, and even in some sections of our
country; but here in Vermont the
general consensus is that all these
vices and immoralities should be pro-
hibited rather than tolerated and re-
stricted. Having lived and travelled
in countries where the license system
prevails, and seen it's workings, we
unhesitatingly avow our preference
for the method that now obtains in
politics, and no licensing of any crimes,
evils, vices or immoralities, whatever.

An Almanac ought naturally to be
cup to date" and The Tribune AL
manac for 1896 is just that. 1t has
certainly not reprinted any of the
pages of the Almanac of year ago to
get out con time" Furthermore the
publication is as fresh in tone, youth
full in spirit and frankly suited to the
time in which we live as any number
ever issued. Of course the Tribune
Almanac is mainly for the use of peo
pie who take some interest in public
affairs and need to have exact in
formation. The falling off in exports
and increase of imports, increase of
the public debt and things of that sort
will be read with much interest. No
recital of the contents of the Almanac
is necessary. 1t is perfect magazine
of all sorts of statistical information,
and no first class country store ever
put upon it's shelves a more miscel-
laneous assortment of what the people
want, than the Iribnue Almanac has
set forth in its pages.
