has kept up constant fire upon us,
and latterly men have become en-
boldened to engage in the business on
this side of the river more openly than
they have done before in a quarter Of
a century. Schools, Libraries and
churches, with their various organ
izations, can hardly counteract the
evil that goes out from these places
into which more money flows than
would be required to support the hos
pital of which we still dream. Men
fail in business, in health, and, worse
still, in morals. Men leave the
saloon and go to their death because
of rum, and yet public sentiment
slumbers and sleepily assents that the
present condition of things may , =
tinue. They wake up when the law
is being vigorously enforced, and
then, what seems surprising, take
sides and discuss the question
whether it ought to be enforced or
not, some openly denouncing its en-
forcement, while many are thankful
and take courage.
1t has always been difficult to suit
that class of people whose refrain for
years has been that the present law
ought to be repealed because, they
say, "it is not and cannot be enforced
and who wants a law that you can't
execute; but when it is rigidly en-
forced and rumsellers are fined and
imprisoned, or put to fight and their
places closed, these people cry out
against such proceedings and call it
an infringement of personal liberty
and Of the right to property. This
class of men favor a license law be-
cause under it there would be at least
one place in town where all men
would be free and equal" to buy
liquors, and then it would be one step
nearer making the sale of liquors as
free as the sale of groceries.
1t is easy to understand why men
should oppose the execution of the
law who believe in the unrestricted
sale of liquors and are blind to its
terrible consequences; but why citi-
zens who wish for good order, the
elevation of the standard of morals
in the community. and the good rep
utation of the town should oppose the
execution of the law is something Of
a mystery. A public sentiment de-
manding that this business shall
cease is all that is required to put in
motion the machinery Of the law
which no seller can successfully re-
sist. 1t seems to be the case that
Windham county has fallen behind
the others in executing the law.
We believe that it would be a fair
test of the prohibltory law for all
good citizens to demand and support
its strict enforcement for a period of
two years. and then, at the end of that
time, be governed by the public senti-
ment thus developed as to whether we
shall have prohibition or license.

The Morrisville News and Citizen has
just entered upon its 21st publication year
and never was as good and progressive
newspaper as II is today. This is saying
a good deal for a paper which has always
maintained a high standard in both its
local and editorial columns, and a re-
markable loyalty to Lamoille county.
