stitutonaiity of tho minority referendum.
The Clement referendum is 50 years be-
hind the times. Vermont should be M
to-date. The Massachusetts refcrendums
are straight.
Mr.. O'Sullivan of st. Adams interrupted
to ask If the speaker believed the mi
nority referendum was constitutional
also the majority one.
Mr.. Dixon replied that he understood
the majority referendum was constitu-
tional, and he firmly believed the minority
referendum was. The speaker said the
women of the state did not want the
saloon; neither did many of the men. Sup
porters of this bill. some of them, say they
don't want the saloon in their town. Even
drinking men have implored him not TO
| let loose the open saloon on them The
speaker read from spirit trade paper
condemnatory Of the open saloon. The
Vermont newspapers don't want the
saloons. Our party platform did not prom
Use the wide open saloon. The speaker de-
nounccd the saloon and liquor power in
politics. The minority bills provisions are
superior to the majority's relating to the
financial features of the trafiic-the state
and people get the profits. He compared
the Mont Pelee catastrophe with the
| havoc of the open saloon. The speaker
said that the saloon is responsible for
most of the shipwrcclts, he had been in
| three mutinies caused by saloon rum OBJ
tanned i'm ports. Under license. the reg
ulations will be avoided. tc could SEQ the

law, but they do not want to be bound
| hand and foot and delivered over to the
| open saloon. one topper bought a barrel
| of rum put 1t in his cellar and when he
| wanted drink bought it of his wife
SO the money would stay in the family.
| That was a good idea. If the State Of
| Vermont intends to go into the liquor
| business. let it put a barrel in its own
cellar pay its money into its own treas
ury to offset the mpoverishment that will

Mir Marsh of Sheldon queried as to the
definition OF the word referendum. MIR.
| O'Sullivan of ST. Alhans city replied with
out giving definition. Mr.. Ellis of Fair
! faven explained by referring to the ref
erendum of 80 years ago Mr.. Fletcher
arose and repelled certain insinuations as
to a boiling party. and then defined the
refereud m as n thing of good faith. OF
| legality. and something the supreme court
has decided on. He repudated also The

ated some previously expressed views on

John Fiske. Published by Honghton.

Mifflir & Company, Boston, Mass. On
sale at sl.65
One of the most interesting
works published this year is New
France and New England, by the late
John Fiske. This final volume forms the
only remaining link needed to complete
the chain of histories of this country,
from the discovery OF America to the
adoption OF the Constitution. upon which
DR. Fiske had for so many years been
engaged, and the achievement of which
was his great ambition 1T shares with
all Mr.. Fiske's work the great qualities
OF his mind and the rare grace of his.
style. and presents in broad. philosophic.
manner the causes and events which
marked the victory on this continent OF
the English civilization over the French.
The book is full of dramatic incidents,
4 frightened by the figures of many no.
table characters. All significant aspects.
OF the period surveyed. Mr.. Fiske has
firmly gIasped and clearly portrayed, and
the work is an important addition to the
literature Of history. The volume is uni-
form in style with Mr.. Fiskes earlier
historical works.
The place Of the present volume in the
series Of Mr.. Fiske's books on American
history may best be indicated by a few
words from his preface TO the Dutch
and Quaker Colonies in America" That
work. 1t will be remembered some
next in order after. THE Beginnings IF
