Some of the local optionlsts, who tool
in the excursion to Fort ST. Frederic, art
extollng the virtue of license over pro-
hibition. They claim that in the license
town of Crown Point, N. Y, they were
unable to get anything to drink but upor
their return to Burlington they found all
the bars rnnning 'wide open" as in Bos
ton. These philosophers on local hyp
notism lose sight of two important feat
ures IN making their comparisons
One is that the Crown Point bar-keeper
knew that the Vermonters were coming
there and closed their places in order t.
prevent "booze" famine for their owl
people. The other is that the great CRY
of the local optionist has been that unde
his system one could get drink when
ever he pleased, but in the excursion mat
ter he argues just the opposite in order t.
score an imaginary point.
