Give Us More Light.
Lst. Adams Messenger

The Messenger believes it is a mistake
to assume, as some of our prohibition
friends are now doing, that local-op-
tion-high-license law must necessarily
license the open saloon. The Messenger
does not want to see the open saloon es-
tabished in Vermont and it believes the
great majority of thoughtful anti-pro-
hibitionists do not want it, either. 1t Is
possible to frame a law that will meet
the requirements of a rural state like
Vermont without licensing the saloon.
Let aus have a law framed this fall
and submitted to the people.

The Atlantic Monthly for July contains
paper of great interest by Professor Ed
ward Dowden on Walter Pater. The es-
say is, indeed, a peculiarly intimate APP
probation quite in Pater's vein. With
rare tact Professor Dowden brings to-
gether the most significant phrases and
passages in Pater's writings, and so
presents a brief on the Picturesque philo-
sophy of life, the famous new Cyrenai-
cism," almost in Pater's own words, and
with notable "charm and lucid order
and labor of the file'
