However one may reason about in
dividual rights, about the commission
and punishment of crimes that are
not crimes, and about the right of
every community to regulate its own
affairs, the fact cannot be escaped
that the real question at issue is
whether we want six or seven open
saloons in the town of Brattleboro.
However we may try to evade it,
that is the final question which con-
Germs every voter when he makes
his choice between Proctor and
Clement Look the whole situation
in the face, and, without any evasion,
think what it means. If we have
high license, and saloon keepers pay
the price for their privileges, they
will claim and have all that goes with
those privileges. The business will
not be done in by-places or on back
streets. AS many of the hotels as
choose to accept the privilege will
have a license. There would be one
licensed place in West Brattleboro
There would then be left three or -four
saloon privileges for this village
Some of the best business places on
Main street-some of the best stores
would be used for the saloon bus
mess Let no one fool himself by
thinking of the business being done
unobtrusively. The effort here, as
elsewhere, would be to make the
saloons attractive places of public
resort. and their keepers would use
every advantage of location. hand
some fittings, and other familiar ac
cessories, to make them so. Do we
want these saloons here on Mair
street in Brattleboro?

Cuba Libre.

Free Cuba is now the perfect
entity which the late President Nc
Kinley predicted. The United States
government formally relnquished it's
control of Cuba Tuesday and turned
its affairs over to it's own officials.
After the ceremonies in Havana,
which consisted of the acceptance by
President Palma, on behalf of the
Cuban Republic of the conditions i'm
posed by the United States, and the
hoisting of the Cuban flag General
/ Wood and his staff and the American
troops embarked. and the American
ships steamed out of the harbor.
At the time the transfer took place in
Havana Gen. Whiteside. at Santiago,
turned over his authority to his Cuban
successor, and sailed away with the
American cavalry which had been in
garrison there. Only the few Ameri-
'can troops necessary to man the coast
defences remain on the island and
they will leave when the Cuban soldiers
have learned their duties with the for
tifcations.
Gen. Wood. first in command at
Santiago and then as governor general
of Cuba, has performed a Herculean
task. In less than four years under
his direction the United States has
created in Cuba 2800 public schools,
taught by 1850 teachers and educating

A leading argument of the high
license men is that license and local
option will make business better by
attracting people of means to the
state, either as permanent or summer
residents. Suppose we take the re-
verse of this argument. Suppose We
not only retain the prohibitory law,
but enforce il, and keep the state
clean in every respect. Suppose we
then advertise to the world that here
is a place free from the corrupting
influences of the saloon element that
here families can be free from what
always goes with the saloons; that
here they can bring the boys and
girls and give them all the advan-
tages of country life, free from temp
tation to vicious Indulgence? What
would you say to that kind of an ad-
vertisement for Vermont? What
would it's effect be?
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1902-05-23
What the Prohibitory Law Does No,

Much OF the high license argument
against prohibition proceeds on the
ground that prohibition is an infringe
ment of individual rights-that it un-
dertakes to say what a man shall or
shall not use as a beverage. We
think many young men have by this
means gained the impression that the
prohibitory law undertakes to control
their individual action in this respect.
This is not true. Let the law speak
for itself The prohibitory features
of the Vermont law regulating THE
Traffic in intoxicating Liquor" are
comprised in chapter 1877 of the Yer
mont Statutes, beginning at section
AGO. That section says that the
phrase intoxicating liquors" shall be
held to include spirituous or intoXi-
eating liquor mixed liquor, beer and
fermented cider. The next section
says that the word furnish" shall be
held to mean the transportation with
in the state of intoxicating liquor
which is intended to be sold or dis
posed of contrary to law" The next
two sections are as follows:
Section 4462. The words give away
where they occur in this chapter shall
not apply to the giving away of in
toXicating liquor by a person in his pri'
Vate dwelling, unless given to a minor
other than member of his own private
family, or to an habitual drunkard, OF
unless such private dwelling becomes
a place of public resort
Section 4463. Nothing in this chapter
shall prevent the manufacture, sale an6
use of wine for the commemoration OF
the Lords Supper. nor the manufacture
sale and use of cider or, for medica
purposes only, of wine made in the state
from grapes or other fruits, the growth
of the state, and which is without tn,
admixture of alcohol or spirituous
liquor, nor the manufacture by anyone
for his own use, of fermented liquor
There is here no restriction of indi
vidual liberty nor of individual habits
The law does not even attempt tC
make it unlawful to use beer, wine ol
liquors in ones own house, and any
man, young or old, is entirely at lib
erty, so far as the law is concerned, tC
serve to his friends or guests in hi:
own house any beverages which ht
may choose to offer them, and the pro
hibitory law has nothing whatever tt
say about it so long as the compan.
does not become disorderly, and 81
long as the place does not become {
nuisance or an offence to the public.

The personal presence, the tireless
activity, the safe advice and the cour-
ageous helpfulness of julius j. Estey
are sorely missed by the Brattleboro
community in a time like this. Gen.
Estey was not an ascetic or an extrem-
ist. In the best sense, he was cit
izen of the world. He had his own
principles of life and conduct, to which
he faithfully adhered, but he recogniz-
ed that his own views and habits did
not bound or govern the universe.
With all his breadth of federation, and
knowledge of the world, he was a
stanch friend of prohibition. He was
accustomed to say that prohibition,
even at its worst, as charged by its
opponents, was better for Vermont
than any form of license. There is
no doubt where he would stand if he
had been spared to join hands in the
contest of this week.

The Coal Strike.

The strike of the anthracite coal
miners throws 147,000 men and boys

Steps were taken at the miners con-

ing out 25O,O00 bituminous coal miners
to make the strike more effective The
bituminous miners are not we'll or
ganized, and this attempt may prove
unsuccessful. The price Of coal has
already been advanced 81 in New York
as the result of the strike, and a
further increase is expected, one deal
er intimating that the retail price is
likely to be So a ton.

When Levi X. Fuller ran for gov
ernor of Vermont in 1892 his campaign
was a clean one, marked by courtesy
and good temper on the part of both
friends and opponents. With single
exception, he was saved from offensive
personal attack. This only exception
was the action of the Rutland Herald,
which attacked h,n with ridlcule and
belittlement day after day. using as
its basis of attack a trivial incident
which had not the least bearing on
Col. Fullers life, record or character.
Percival w. Clement owned then, as
he owns now, majority Of the Herald
stock. and directed its policy, and was
responsible for this attack. The Brat
tleboro friends of Gov. Fuller have no
reason for lavishing either friendship
or support on Mr.. Clement as can
didate for governor.
