1t is frequently stated or suggested as
an argument for high license that sum-
mer hotels would be more prosperous,
mitted to have an open bar. This is en-
tirely erroneous. The experiences OF
both New Hampshire and Maine under
prohibition, both of which states have
eXcelled in the number and character OF
their summer resorts, in this respect
leading the whole country, demonstrate
conclusively the error of such claim.

We call attention to the letter of Col.
Albert Clarke, formerly of Vermont, now
of Boston, in another column, relative to
prohibition and high license, with each
of which he has had some twenty years
experience, the first in Vermont and the
last in Massachusetts. Mr.. Clarke was
prominent whilst he lived in Vermont as
an editor and in politics, and has been
still more so since his residence in Mas
sachusetts. The letter is an excellent
one. 1t appeared first in the Brattleboro
Phoenix.

At the high-lcense rally at Montpelier
Jan. 10Th, Mr.. Davenport of Brattleboro,
editor of the Reformer, and reputed
author of the high-lcense bill, spoke at
some length. He was especially virulent
against prohibition then turned his at
tentlon to a state control bill as follows
'But lust so surely as the local option bill is
defeated in Vermont on the sd day of febru-
airy next, and the prohibition law remains in
force, Just SO surely will state monopoly, which
compcls a man to take bottle full instead of
a drink in the shape of the Battell bill, be
for ced upon the people of this State"
We are glad to see that Mr.. Davenport
realizes that the people of Vermont want
state control law for the sale of liquors.
We think he is right in this, and that
they are going to have. it.
We notice the remark, (which com
pels man to take bottle full instead of
a drink in the shape of the Battell bill,
to say that the many and constantly in
creasing friends OF the state control law
to regulate tine liquor traffic, are not
hide-bound to any particular bill.
Mr.. Battell, in his pamphlet on "The
Recent Crisis" which has been widely
distributed to the voters, says:
at has been suggested that hard liquor;
might also be sold by the glass. If thought
best, this could be added, or they might be
put up in packages containing very small
quantity"
The friends of the bill are sure that the
system which eliminates private gain in
the sale of liquors is the best system
for regulating their sale that there is
and they think that this can be best &C
complished in America by state control
But in drafting bill they are DESTROYS
to have it the very best possible il
all its particulars, and we make no doubt
will have it so thoroughly perfected by
the time of its passage at the next SEES
sion of the legislature, that Brother
Davenport will be entirely pleased witt
it.

The nigh license advocates are be-
ginning to admit what the Register
told them several weeks since, that their
issue is dead in Vermont This they do
differently according to temperament.
Mr.. Davenport, the author of the bill
says that he thinks it would be beaten
if voted on today, but hopes to resurrect
it by oratory. The Barre Telegram gave
up the'contest several weeks since, saying
that their only hope was in the next
Legislature. And Mr.. Clement in his
own way declares the bill nOpelessly
beaten. He says that the vote for 1t
will be 10000, and against it 10000.

An Expensive Celebration.

The New York Mail and Express
 calls attention to the fact that the pur-
 chase of the entire Louisiana territory
 cost the United States $l5,000,O00. The
 exposition at St. Louis in celebration of that purchase will cost more than
 $50, 100000. Of course, it is wise, if we
 are to do thing, to do it well, and the Worlds Fair at St. Louis, if money and preparations, extensive buildings and the gathering together of every
 thing that the directors can think of
 that may be of interest to visitors will
 accomplish it, will be 8 great occasion
 and one of which the whole people may feel proud. But 1t does seem as though there might be a question whether 1t is justifable to spend over three times
 as much in such celebration as the original territory cost. Worlds fairs
 have come very close to the limit of
 usefulness, and we are not yet sure whether that at St. Louis may not be too big for success.
