THE NEW LAW.

We notice reports in our weekly

missioners for licensing the sale OF
intoxicating liquor in many of the
towns and cities of our state. In some
instances 1t would seem that care had
been taken to select men of good

however whether an honorable man
would accept the Office and thus be
instrumental in legalizing God
cursed evil. We cannot help wishing
that our prohibitory law could have
been 30 amended as TO provide COM
missioners in every town and city to
regulate and enforce it rather than
enforce a law that makes respectable

prosecute and arrest all violators of
the new law, the fact remains that
men are licensed to send sorrow into
the homes to break the hearts of
loving mothers, wives and children.
Expressions OF regret, sorrow and
humiliation are continually coming
from the men and women who have
gone out from Vermont all over the
world at the result of the ampaign:
II have always been 80 proud of my
native state, dear old Vermont. I
never thought she could have fallen
so lowl" "How could that staunch
old state disgrace herself SOP" as it,
can 1t be true that the state we have
all loved 80 we'll has lost the prestige
she had gained among the states?"
These are some Of the comments re-
ceived. Indeed a groan seems to have
gone up from all parts of our land at
the lowering of the standard of moral
ity, and much sympathy is expressed
for those noble men and women who
fought so earnestly to sustain the old
law.
But defeat does not mean surren-
der, the battle has just begun. We
will rally our forces for a new cam

threatened evils and give the people
of Vermont to see and rectify the
mistake they have made as soon as
