The Strong Points.

The Brattleboro Phoenix summarizes
the objections to the license law and the
reasons why the vote should be mol"
Tues day, February 3, as follows:
lit lets down the bars and gives
the open saloon legalzed entrance into
Vermont Under any circumstances
the open saloon is admittedly one of the
greatest evils of our time, and in scores
of little Vermont villages it would be
veritable moral pest hole, should vote
for license be carried.
"2-The saloon always becomes
controlling factor in politics, and it
must especially become so under the
provision of this law which makes the
selectmen of towns and the aldermen
and mayor of cities appoint the licensing
boards. Under this method it will in
evitably be the main effort of the liquor
interest, not to secure the best men for
town and city officers, but to secure
officers who are friendly to that interest.
IA license law, no matter how
Oou vi tlltCllNC, Will uot CulOlSC Ilotli.
The men who hold the licenses will not
take the lead in enforcing it. 1t must be
enforced, if done effectively, by the
officers charged with this duty, backed
up by public sentiment. Experience in
all license states shows that this is liter
ally true. 1t is claimed, and figures are
given to show, that there is as much
evasion under license as under prohibit
ton. This is because every saloon
keeper becomes himself more or less an
evader of the law, and he does not care
to invite attack on himself by attacking
others. Moreover, no "reputable"
saloon keeper wants the trade of the
low, drunken, drummer" element. He
prefers that it go to the pocket peddlers,
the kitchen barroOms or the dives.

The Saloon Controls Local Pol
tics.


Rev. }. II. Reid, of Bellows Falls,
says:
II am most emphatically opposed to
the high-license local-option bill for Yer
mont. NV reasons are:
"l-Under local option nothing is ever
settled and the community shifting from
yes to mo- and no to yes produces
a chaotic state of affairs.
"2-High license under the proposed
bill will be hard to enforce and as
productive of perjury as the present
law.
"3-The saloon is a demoralizing social
institution and also a political factor
allied to all that is dirty in politics.
The saloon in Bellows Falls means that
every candidate for any office will have
to reckon with it. If he is clean man
the saloon will be against him and money
and drinks will pass over the bar to
bride voters for his opponent. When
the saloon comes to our village we can
say goodbye" to clean politics.
"4-Kitchen barrooms flourish under
high license.
"5-Under high license there will be a
decided change in the hotels of Yer
mont. When the bar becomes the chief
source of income the table will receive
less attention. Under high license hotels
cannot select their bar patrons. To
paw the license fee the bar must be kept
busy and thus the hotel becomes the
resort of the low and profane. This is
especially true of small places"

ed to shuttle off the mortal coil about
midnight last night. but the effort
was fiat failure. \ message was
dispatched for a physician with the
statement that a woman named

bolic acid, but when the physician
arrived he was refused admittance to
the rooms for the purpose, as it APP
pears, of preventing the matter from
becoming public. The man of medi-
cine was assured. however, that the
patient had swallowed none of the
acid and that the pain from a badly
burned mouth had been alleviated by
home treatment, so that medical
services were not necessary. 80
