The pledge was for the submission
OF license-local option act, to become
operative if ratified by the voters.
The nature OF this act was left for the
Legislature to determine, and an act
which, like the Battell bill, provides
for license and local option. would be
within the scope of the convention
mandate, according to the views of

THE BATTELL BILL.

we puDllsn III tnls issuO thS A"i
text of the so-called Battell bill for
regulating the liquor traffic. mas
much as this bill is very likely to
come before the present Legislature
with the endorsement of probably
majority of the joint temperance
committee, and il passed, as now
seems reasonable to expect, will be
submitted to the voters under refer
endum, for their acceptance or rejec-
ton, it will be worth a critical study
by our readers.
The Battell bill outlines a system
in some respects different from any
thing in operation anywhere. 1t is
not prohibition, or modification Of
prohibition, for it permits the sale,
in cities and towns so voting, OF
spirituous liquors in sealed packages
and of malt liquors and light wines
by the glass for use as beverage.
This is contrary to the fundamental
principle of prohibition, of course.
The Battell system is not license,
as the term is commonly understood.
for its main feature is not the selling
of the liquor-yending privilege for
certain specified sum to private
parties, but it actually conducts the
business on behalf OF the states pecu-
MARY, and, presumably, its moral
benefit
The Battell system is not the South
Carolina dispensary plan, for that
provides only for selling in sealed
packages, not TO, be broken and
the contents drunk on the premises;
nor does it provide Tor sales by
on physicians prescription
only, nor for serving malt liquors on
the table only by hotel keepers, all
Of which is permitted by the Battell
bill
The Battell bill is purely local
option. 1t permits cities and towns
to say by vote whether they will
allow liquors to be sold at all; wheth.
er for necessary purposes only;
whether malt liquors and light wines
shall be sold by the glass, and wheth-
er the privileges of the system shall
be extended to druggists and hotel
keepers. No plan yet proposed gives
the community such complete con-
troll OF the liquor selling business.
The traffic, under the Battell
method, is carried on by salaried
agents of the state, whose income
is not affected by the number of sales
made. The purpose of this is clear.
No saloons, in the ordinary concep-
ton, are to be established. The
selling is done at state stores, under
strict regulations
The quality Of liquors is insured
by actual test at the hands of an ex-
pert, when the goods are purchased
by the state. They are then sealed by
him and the seal remains unbroken
until the consumer is reached.
The traffic is done at a profit, which
goes to the state and is divided among
the towns according to population.
The purpose of this division is to
remove from towns the mercenary
to sell in order to realize
from the returns thereof.
For the full details OF the plan, in
Guiding the prohibitions, restrictions
penalties and methods employed to
secure faithful service by those inter-
ested in the SYSTEMS administ ration,
we refer the reader to a persual OF
the bill itself.

movement having apparently passed.
New York is again in the doubtful
column, and throughout the East save
in Pennsylvania. the results are dis
tinctly encouraging to the Democrats
The Central states continue strongly
Republican, however, and in the far
West that party has reclaimed a num-
Der of states heretofore held by the
Democrats and Populists. While the
outcome is satisfactory to the party in
power, it is a wholesome warning that
a vigorous opposition only awaits the
opportunity that would be afforded by
gross mistakes and abuses TO subyert
it. The administration is sustained
but it must be careful.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness OF nation de-
ponds much upon the physical condition
of its women. The general conditions
which contribute to health and long life
are those which do not imply rapid and
unequal exhaustion Of those powers BY
which life is maintained. While we
assert that the women OF our land stand
peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovabie. we cannot hide the
fact that there are thousands in our midst
who, owing TO oyerwork, worry, house
hold cares and an unequal exhaustion OF
life power, have become weak, nervous
sleepless and debilitated.

1t is not unlikely that Vermont will
soon establish a sanitarium for con-
sumptives or persons affected with
tuberculosis. 4 commission to con-
slider this matter is to be authorized at
this session. A separate building at
the state insane asylum is to be con-
structed, at a cost of $4,000, for the
accommodation of tuberculous pa
tients. Authorities claim that this
dreaded disease is durable in its early
stages, at such institutions, with
proper treatment. Other states have
taken the lead in their establishment.
If clearly demonstrated beyond the
experimental stage, OF course Yer
mont will want to follow suit. This
disease is communicable by injection,
and the public health would seem to
demand the segregation Of those who
have fallen victims, especially if there
is hope, too, of saving them. With
the large number Of consumptives
who would wish to enter such a sani-
tarium, once its merit was demon
strated, it can be seen that in extent
and expense it would greatly exceed
all our present state institutions COM
bined. Vermont can experiment in a
small way with the cases at Water
bury before enlarging the scope.
