REV. MR.. MoRRow's VISIT.
Rev. G. w. Morrow gave an earnest and
inspiring address at the Congregational
church on Sunday evening in behalf of the
work of the Anti-Saloon League of Yer
mont. In concise and forcib1e manner he
set before his audience the calamities which
are sure to befall our fair state if the license
bill finds an entrance into cur legislature.
Our prOhibitOry law has proved a reStric-
ton and a blessing for half century, and
it's overthrow would mean ruin and dis
grace to our state. This question is of in
terest to every individual. Eighty per
cent of the nations crime and pauperism is
the fruit of the liquor traffic. The saloon
gets every fifth boy; it is the enemy of So
ciety, of business, of the church., of every
thing that stands for uprightness and ma
tional progress. The business corporations
of the country are constantly drawing the
line more tightly and young man must
order his life on principles of total absti-
nence if he would hold a position.
We do not want high license, we do not
want local option. The people of Vermont
must arouse and assert themselves. they
must stand together and make a grand
fight for the sustaining and retaining of
our prohibitOry law.
