High License, Local Option, No
Saloons.

The principle of local option seems
to be quite generally accepted as a
just one and practically successful.
Each independent community like a
town knows or ought to know what
is best for its citizens, and ought to
be allowed to decide what it should
cat and drink and wear.
The sale of alcohol indiscrimi-
nately by any one to any one has
been shown to be unwise. 1t is
found necessary that its sale should
be entrusted by the state to respon-
sible persons. The question of open
saloons or drinking places in small
towns or villages is quite another
thing and one to be considered and
settled most carefully. 1t would be
quite possible to have a licensed
town dispenser of alcoholic drinks
in this town who would not be al
lowed to sell anything to be drank
on the premises. In this way we
would have license without saloon
or any drinking place for loafers.

The Fish and Game League also
seems to have lost its grip.

1t is we'll enough to leave the
preparation of high license bill to
the legislature. The members-elect
ought to understand pretty well by
this time that change is demanded
As, 900 votes for local option to
sI,ooo against it is strong testimony
and not much time should be
wasted in considering innumerable
remedies for the present dissatisfac-
ton that are likely to be offered.
There is no remedy but repeal, and
the substitution Of common sense
statute for the Anticipated one we
have now. Any failure this year
would mean another two-years'
struggle and fiercer campaign at
the end, with little more emphatic
demand from the people, and a
brand new set of lawmakers. If the
Republicans have any desire to set
the pace tor some presidential favor
lite another year, with an "unbroken
'front.' they will turn in and help do
business now,

Contested Election at Roxbury.

The grand jury of Washington
county has been engaged in investi-
eating the charges Of bribery and
breach of the peace against DR.. F..
{. Fletcher Of Roxbury. The breach
Of peace is said to have been COM
mitted on the night of election day
last week. According to the story
of an eye witness DR.. Fletcher was
charged by Byron Pierce of that
town with offering him S. to vote
for w. T. Reyes for representative.
This DR.. Fletcher denied, hard
words followed and Pierce was as
saulted by the doctor.
VT. Reyes, the representative
elect from Roxbury, had notice
served on him that his election and
his seat in the house will be con.
tested before the committee on cleo
tons on the ground that he had not
taken the frecman's oath and was
not citizen OF the state when his
nomination papers were filed. 1t is
said Mr.. Reyes took the freeman's
oath only two or three days before
his election.

However the gubernatorial con-

and we do not believe it is beyond
doubt, in spite of the Republican
claims, because of the large number
OF "license Republicans" that both
the Clement and Mccullough man
ayers believe they have GOETHE one
thing certain is that the prohibitory
law is doomed. The Republican
platform perpetrated an ingenious
and INSCRIPTIONS trick to save it and
the plumber under it, by referen-
dun that the courts would be sure
to hold to invalidate the whole law;
but the Democratic exposure of it
has been so thorough and searching,
that there is now little danger Of the
attempt or of its success if attempt
ed. 1t will either be straight local
option enactment or a referendum
like that promised by the Clement
platform which will, in all proba-
bility, hold because it has been up

platform promised would be uncon-
