LIQUOR AGENCIES.

For one, we cannot see how a state
ment showing the immense quantities
of liquor sold by Vermont town
agencies can serve any good purpose
as an argument in favor of the repeal
of prohibition. Without a doubt,
three-fourths, at least, of all the goods
sold at the agencies is for purposes
other than those contemplated by the
law. In plain words, three out of
every four customers are liars. They
want the stuff to drink as a beverage.
instead of for medicinal, mechanical
or chemical purposes.
What of that? Ought their men,
dacity to cause the abolition of the
agency system, making it impossible
for honest men and women to secure
liquor when it is actually needed?
Would not these same persons buy as

much, even more. if they could secure
it BY the glass and drink it ON the
premises? Is not a single agency in a
city or town, even when run as
'wide-open" as the worst. preferable
to a number of saloons?
II a person gets drunk on agency
liquor, he is severely punished for
obtaining intoxicants under false
pretenses, and no agent frequently
disclosed on in this way, could hold
his job. If a person gets drunk at a
saloon. the seller smiles and points to
his license.
The agent works on a salary and it
is to his credit to keep sales down.
The licensed saloon-keeper works for
profit, and it is to his interest to sell
as much as possible.
There are legitimate uses for liquor.
No law ought to interfere with them
The Vermont agency provides for
them. Because abuses creep in is not
sufficient reason, either for Furnishing
honest people, or gratifying dishonest
people. Whacking the agency does
not strengthen the saloon, for the
worse the agency the more it resembles
he saloon.
Many persons believe that the evils
from drink are not sufficient
,ause for prohibiting its sale, as a
beverage to all, and that to do so is an
invasion of personal
lights. Such people prefer license,
md are quite consistent in so doing.
But to complain because a system
to supply the necessary
emand only is abused blythe beverage
and to use that as an
rgument for installing the saloon,
Which caters wholly TO the latter class,
ppears absurd TO us.
