North Brookfield, April 1S.-Wheu
the illegal liqucr sellers and their
henchmen downed the motion to appTo-
pirate money at yesterdays adjourned
town meeting for the suppression of the
business they are engaged in, they went
away happy, believing they were to be
ieft undisturbed iii their traffic for an
other year.
But their blissful ignorance is des-
tined to have a very rude awakening
and before many months have passed
ct is a safe wager that they will be
sorry that they did not allow the plan
TO go through without opposition. They
Thought the workers against run
played their last card yesterday. But
the no-license people are not to be so
easily balked and they have still to
draw from a -four, eleven forty-four"
combination that will strike more ter
Sor to the hearts of the wine merchants
than all the rai6ing North Brooktield
constables would do in y decade.
This is no more nor less a plan that
than to pay outside help of an eXper-
fenced kind to put down the dives Of
North Brookfeld, and it is the plan
that has been favored all along this
spring. That this plan will be much
more effective than the one of having
local constables do the work. there is
no room to doubt. Many people who
are professedly against liquor selling
legally or Illegally, look askance ST
such plan first, but eventually most
of those who want to see the dive
wiped out come to the conclusion that
the end more than justifies the means.
AS stated yesterday by Rev James p.
Tuite, the burning question this spring
has been, why have the dives been
allowed to do so open a business ?"
with the argument that as long as so
much liquor is sold in North Brook
field the town might as well get as
much revenue from 1t as possible This
feeling, the no-licenSe workers know
they have to combat, and that they
must check its growth if they would
have North Brookfield maintain its
record next year Had they carried
their point at yesterdays meeting. the
plan would have been given a fair trial
and the proprietors of the places where
beer and whisky are now sold over the
bar. would have stood a stronger
chance of going unconvicted than IN
der the means of suppression that Will
be tried now.
