Stop It!

enough at the American House. There
has been enough of the pastime of
chasing the devil around a stump with
that piece of real estate. 1t is time
to stop the boys play of prosecuting
and fning a succession of lessees, real
or alleged, and to strike at the root
Of the whole business. Here is the
law that applies, as enacted by the
legislature of 1898:
THE owner of, and all persons interest
| ed in the building or premises in which
| such common nuisance has been kept and
maintained, as well as the keeper thereof
| may be made parties to the proceedings
| under sections 4522 to 4529 inclusive Of the
! Vermont statutes, and If II is finally ad-
! judged that such common nuisance has
| been kept and maintained, the defend
| ants. their servants. agents. lessees. ten
! ants. and assigns shall be perpetualy en-
! Joined from from keeping and maintain
| ing such common nuisance or suffering it
| to bc maintained in such building or
! premises or in any part thereof"
GThe sections of the Vermont Statutes
referred to. 4522 to 4529. relate to the
! course Of procedure for the abatement of
| common nuisances where Intoxicating
! liquors are unlawfully sold or given
| away.1
Whatever may have been said or
thought about this matter up to that
time, it was well understood after the
decisive action taken by Judge Stat
ford at the September term of court
that it was the intention of the court
to have the sale of liquor stopped both
at the American House and the Brat
tleboro House The owners of those
houses-the owners of the real es-
tate we mean-clearly understood
this. Everybody then or since con-
nected with the houses clearly under
stood it. All persons in the communi-
ty understood it. That the sale of
liquor has again been allowed to begin
at the American House, as the raid of
Tuesday night proved. is therefore dis
tinctly and peculiarly a fragrant and
brazen defiance of the law, which Of
fends the moral sense of the whole
community.
The responsibility must now be laid
where it rightfully belongs-with the
proprietorship of the house. There
is no other way. We voice the over
whelming sentiment of the Brattle-
boro community when we say that
States Attorney Weston should per-
form at once the plain duty which the
law requires of him, and place the
matter promptly in the hands OF Judge
Stafford. If there is evidence TO show
that the same course ought to be pur-
sued toward the Brattleboro House let
this be done. In this demand we make
no reservation or distinction in behalf
of any place or any person 1t is sim
ply time that defiance of law was
stopped.
There is in this no question of pro
hibition or of high license, or of the
right or the wrong of either way of
controlling the liquor traffic. The
same spirit of defiance, and of sneak
ing cunning, which has been proved
upon the American House, would over
ride license law just as quickly, and
as surely and as fiagrantly, as it now
attempts to override the prohibitory
law.
Stop it. Let us talk and act, the
same way about the Brattleboro side
of the river that We do about the Hins-
dale side,
