1t is pretty safe TO say that the pro-
moters of the act giving towns the
right to close their liquor agencies by
vote did not anticipate that it would
be used as a club to attempt the knock
out of the prohibitory law. which is the
only use it has been put to 50 far. The
theory was that it was unjust for a
county commissioner to force a liquor
agency onto a community which didn't
want it and was opposed to even this
method Of dispensing liquor, and also
that the agency might be so loosely
conducted, either with the connivanee
of the commissioner or without his
knowledge, that the town would prefer
to have it closed entirely. This act
has been taken up by the element
which believes in the sale of liquor I'M
der license regulations and made to do
peculiar service. License men-some
OF them-profess to see a glaring in
consistency between a law which tor
bids the sale of liquor by private par
ties and one which permits its sale by
the town or city. They will not dis
tinguish between liquor sold in limited
quantities for medical or other neees-
sary purposes and liquor sold in I'M
limited quantities as a beverage. If
liquor selling is wrong, they say, let's
stop it entirely. They don't really be-
lieye it is wrong, but they want the
prohibitionist to see what his law will
do, carried to what they assume is its
logical conclusion. They hope he will
see this and weaken, and they win
have their way The trouble is they
deceive themselves as to what the pro-
hibs believe. Not many of the latter
hold that liquor is absolutely poison
Gus. They know that there are proper
and improper uses Tor it. The con-
ception OF town agency, selling liquor
for necessary purposes only, with the
element of profit-making removed and
carried on by respectable people in a
respectable way, is not out of line with
their antipathy to the open saloon and
the indiscriminate use of intoxicants.
1t does seem like an infringement of
personal rights when the chance to buy
liquor tor medicine, it may be to save
a life, is denied because the state will
not sanction the open sale of rum as a
beverage.
