The Boston Herald thus comments editc
rally on the Montpelier liquor agency,
showing lamentabe ignorance Of certain
phases OF the situation: "The clergy in
Montpelier attack the town liquor agency
as the banner bar room" of the State. The
sales are something appalling, considering
that they all are sworn to as for medical
purposes But, why should not town
agency do good business? II is not run at
profit, and the customers get their rum at
the lowest price. Suppose the city of Bos-
ton should open tirstcass bar room; sup
pose it should sell the best of whiskey at
cost; suppose the bar tender was deacon
in good standing--would it not naturally
do the business?"
