FRIDA,, DECEMBER 20. 1902.

All this talk about the expenditure of
100000, or any other large sum, by the
friends of the prohibitory law in Yer
mont for its retention on the statute
books is the veriest tommy-rot, and all
intelligent people know it. Friends OF
what is considered purely moral cause
do not put up any such fund. of course
the expense of speakers and literature in
behalf of state prohibition will be some
thing and will doubtless be borne by
those whose hearts are in the cause, but
at the most a few hundred dollars will
cover the whole expenditure. The
money in this fight, as in every other
contest, will be spent on the side where
business and personal interests lie, and
any intimations to the contrary are not
flattering to the intelligence of voters

The writer of the foregoing must have
a poor opinion of his readers if he thinks
for moment they will believe any such
statement touching the amount that
will be expended in the present cam
paign by those interested in the reten'
ton of our present prohibitory law
Furthermore, in our opinion, he does
not believe it himself.

A Big Fight On.

The Vermont inti-Saloon League has

recent session of the legislature and
which will be voted on in February next.
In view of the peril to the temperance
question the National League has placed
itself at the call of Vermont in her at
tempt to keep the open saloon out of the

day. These speakers will come to Yer

that is testimony against the licensed
saloon.

Right.

"The man who dons clerical robes,
whether he be a Roman Catholic father
an Episcopalian bishop or Methodist
or Baptist, or of any other denomina-
ton, and advocates the licensing of the
most damnable traffic in the world de
serves all the filings that he may get, in
fact that they should come so thick and
fast that he would be obliged to abandon
either his religion or his rum" This,
says the Hardwick Gazette, is portion
of an editorial from the Londonderry
Sitter, the first portion of which is de-
voted to hitting Rev. FIR. O'Sullivan
more specifically. The Sitter editor
ought to be ashamed of himself to write
any such bigoted, narrowminded stuff
A newspaper today that isn't willing to
concede freedom of thought and speech
isn't worthy to live at all.
