choose between the present prohibit
tory law and some wise modification
thereof, or substitute" The sena-
tors nominated were asked to give
expression to the terms Of this resolu-
ton. Washington county endorsed
tie state platform squarely, without
protest, and pledged its nominees
to carry it into effect. The senatorial
nominee in Essex county said that he
should obey the dictum Of the plat
form. Windsor county ratified the
referendum idea, and even rejected
proposition requesting the senators
not to vote for license act that did
not contain referendum clause, so
that the nominees are left free to
support straight-out license, il they
want. On the other hand Orange
county, by a close vote, practically
repudiated the state platform, merely
tavoring a referendum on a modified
prohibitory act, with some of the
Objectionable features OF the present
law eliminated. In Rutland county,
the Proctor and Clement factions
again locked horns, and this time
Proctor won, nominating all the SEN
ators over which there was any con
test, and defeating the effort of Joe"
Jones, seconded by Clement himself,
to get a square declaration for license
into the county platform. Rutland
county merely reafirms the state
declaration on this subject A ma
jority OF the senators-to-be are in
structed to vote for Senator billing

reelection without opposition-a con
greatly to be desired this

minority hostile and super-critical.
Whichever party might carry, the
other would sit back and say, This is
your law not ours. We will do moth
inc that we can help to sustain it. And
we hope it will fail" That is not the
spirit that should prevail. In this, as
! in many other things, it is likely that
all the right is not on one side, nor all
the wrong. And possibly, with proper
exercise of self-control. some middle
ground can be found that, while not
embodying all that either side con-
tends for, may represent the wishes
and command the support OF more
people than either extreme.
For instance, it is pretty apparent
that the present prohibitory law trans
cends public judgment. Certain fea-
lures of its constitution and OF its
operation do not commend themselves
to any except relatively few radicals.
On the other hand, the open, legal
lied saloon, as it exists under license.
and would exist under local option in
towns that voted it in does not have a
pleasant look to the order-loving peo-
pie, who constitute the majority in the
state. Is there no possibility OF agree
ing on some moderate policy that shall
be acceptable to the majority without
mourning the danger of the saloon2
Believers IN license win readily adj
nit that liquor should not be sold to
persons who make such use oft as to
encroach on the rights OF Others Who
shall determine this The saloon
keepers interest is TO sell all he can,
and he cannot afford to be oyer-partic-
ular as to his customers. If the state
had charge Of the liquor traffic direct
ly, and the vendors were salaried
held to close account by their
superiors, and liable to removal for
cause, there would be more prospect
Of sales being properly circumscribed.
Let the state handle the business at
profit enough to pay good salaries to
those engaged, and let the retailing
with its nefarious hangers
on and custom of treating be avoided |
Let liquors be sold TO those who, il is
known, can safely be trusted to pur-
chase. Let others be denied. Give
towns the right of local option as to
they win have these agencies
or none. We have outlined a pretty
close pattern to the dispensary system
Of South Carolina, but that Is nothing
against it, for no excise regulations
anywhere work more satisfactorily |
than those OF the Palmetto State.
Yermont's liquor system is worthy |
Of all the thought and attention it will I
receive between now and all-and !

be approached in judicial spirit, with |
he sole purpose to secure such regu-
ations as shall best serve the state and |

In the warm debate that took place
at Orange county convention last
week over the proposal to endorse
the state platform in favor OF q
referendum on a high license act, one
Of the speakers who opposed such
endorsement appeared to discover an
opportunity for a striking exhibition
of inconsistency on the part OF any
state senator or representative who
should follow the request of the state
platform and vote for a high license
local option bill with referendum, and
then come home and work for the
defeat ofthe act by the people. lie
thought it would open such a man to
serious reproach by his constituents,
We cannot endorse this idea. The
Republican state platform has practi.
callY committed the party-to dc
what Simply TO pass a local option
law to be submitted to the voters, to
become operative ifapproved by them
ifnot, the present policy to continue.
There is no incongruilty whatever
In a legislators doing what the plat.
form requests Of him. though he may
be firm believer in prohibition, and
may purpose to do all in his power
to preserve the present system when
the real test comes. He does not
vote for license when he votes for
submission. He does vote to give
the people a chance to express them
selves directly on the question OF
which policy they win adopt. Very
many strong prohibitionists are now
favoring a referendum, not only
because they believe it wise in theory.
but because they confidently hope
that when the best license law pos
sible is framed the voters will see its
imperfections and will renew THEN
hold on prohibition. One thing is
certain A referendum is the very
least that viii satisfy a great body
Of our voters. To sit on the safety
valve in defiance OF the tumult inside
the boiler is to invite the catastrophy
most to be feared.
