We lately met bright intelligent
NOuldn, WHO went from erIlOnU near
ly score of years ago to n distant
State to reside. With great love for,
and an honest pride i'll, her native
State she naturally turned in her con-
versation to the condition of things in
cur State now, as regards the temper
ance question. Living herself, in a
local option State, and in place
where local option prevails, she hopes
with all her heart that old Vermont
will continue to remain prohibition
State and believes it would be fatal
mistake to take local option and high
license instead of prohibition, for rea-
CONS which we cannot now enumerate.
We may though, speak of what she
said as to the matter of saloon keep
srs who pay high licenses and are eX-
pected to see that unlicensed sellers
are squelched She believes that such
are the violations of law, ON the part
OF licensed saloon keepers that as
rule are only too glad to let others
alone, if only they themselves can go
undisturbed by those who know of
their illegalities i'll sales Now if
cur present Legislators will find "A way
for Vermont women to vote on the ref
srendum, the lady we speak of, and
all like her, can continue to point
with the old time pride, honest pride,
10 their native State.
