The campaign Of the new police com
missioner Of Boston, Judge Emmons, on
the drinkers Of the Hub, is not without its
results Il we Judge BY the following from
the Boston Herald "Close observers say
that Judge Emmons war on drinkers is
having quite noticeable effect, inasmuch
as the number Of men seen on the streets
whose walk and bearing indicate they
have already taken the second glass is
gradually and surely diminishing. They
say, also, that the drinkers themselves are
becoming bit shy, and even when in
their cups retain a remnant Of wit that
prompt them to keep off the streets and to
avoid some Of the dangers Of arrest
Judge Emmons efforts have been Of
rather strenuous nature as both the city
policemen and the DRINKS who have come
under the commissioners ban can well
testify. His methods have been watched
with interest BY many In Vermont.

LIST LARGE ENOUGH
To Bring Local Option Matter Before
Board of supervisors.

Petitions with enough signers for
taking vote on local option in tbs
county have been presented 10 the
board now in session and a special
committee consisting of Supervisors
Frace, Fender and Jenkins has been
appointed TO consider the matter and
report to the board.
If the law has been complied with
relative to securing signatures and
other requirements, the board will in
all probability order that a vote be
taken at The next spring election,
early in April. This will give the
saloon men all of whom have their
licenses paid to the first of May, time
10 close up their affairs, should the
county go dry
Some predict there are not enough
prohibition votes in the comfy to
carry the proposition, but the Banner
has it on good authority that in d
community like lonia, where it would
naturally be expected that the pro-
h bitionists would be completely out
numbered, the city is more than like
ly to go dry. The cause for this is
said to be the hagrant way in which
certain saloonists have conducted
their business in Ionia city.
