VERMONT LIQUOR SYSTEM.
The Randolph Herald Names the New System Get the
Best Law for Vermont.

1t may be safely predicted that the
outcome of liquor legislation at Mont
pelier this fall will be as folows:-
First, the passage Of a high license
local option act, with referendum pro-
vision.
Secondly, the passage of a modified
form Of prohibition, or system either
original or adapted from some existing
system that shall be less Objectionable to
temperance people than high license and
legalized saloons run publicly, for pri-
vate gain.
The Republicans of the assembly,
whatever their personal inclination, will
not disregard the party promise to sub
NIT local option act They do not dare
to repudiate it, for the ghost of Clement
still haunts them, and they see all man
ner of distress ahead If they default.
SO they are going to discharge the obli-
CATION squarely and honestly, leaving no
room for the making of political capital
by those anxiously watching an oppor-
tunity to criticise. The bill they will pass
will be fair and honest high license
local option measure, patterned closely
after the Massachusetts system. The
referendum clause will be so drawn as to
disarm the plea of unconsttutionslity.
The date at which it will be submitted to
the voters will be far enough removed
for the recent agitation to have SUBJ
sided somewhat, and for calm discus
sion and consideration to take place on
the Issue itself, apart from any personal
or political elements.
1t will be far enough removed, too, for
at least short trial of the law that Is to
be substituted for the present brand of
prohibition, which ia recognized by even
so radical a supporter as Judge Ross to
be popularity discredited. Whether this
new system will stop where the Judges

Weeds are not only noxious in them
selves; they beget other evils. They
foster slovenliness. A big patch OF
weeds in vacant lot or an alley ere
ates an irresistible desire in the care
less domestic to throw old tin cans
among them, to empty among their
conceallng leaves the garbage that
should be carted away, says the Kan

germs OF contagion and death. Be
sides, they are nasty, they are part
of the weed system. Nice customs
abhor them. A town to be clean and

should cut the weeds. Then there will
be fewer tin cans, heaps Of ashes and
piles of rotting garbage to mar the
appearance and impair the health Of
fine town.

Thousands of men and women who

The majority of the Legislators are
prohibitionists In principle. as opposed
to high license. They do not favor the
open saloon, run for private gain. They
would prefer to have the liquor traffic
confined to sales for necessary purposes,
as at present, but If there is practical
certainty that the voters will choose
local option in preference to this they
will yield one point more and grant the
sale of liquor as beverage, under the
most stringent regulations known in
any state, but the traffic must be con-
trolled directly by the state, the selling
be done by salaried officers, with the
element of personal gain entirely ruled
out. 1t is the opinion that if liquor
must be sold as a beverage, it can be
done with less danger through state
servants who are held strictly to account
and whose income does not depend on
the amount of their sales than by hand
ing over the traffic privileges to the
common class of saloon keepers, whose
object is to dispense all the liquor they
can without endangering their licenses.
Besides prohibition and local option,
the South Carolina dispensary plan and
the Norwegian system are coming in
for consideration. A great deal of study
and careful thought are being given by
the legislators, who are fully conscious
of the weighty nature of the duty before
them. We hope, when their work Is
finished, we shall have enacted into law
a Vermont system of handling the liquor
traffic, fitted to the needs of the state,
which may endure in preference to
stringent prohibition or high license,
and which shall be the nearest solution
yet made of this great problem.
