The voters Of the smaller towns have
every reason for supporting the new
law next Tuesday. If it goes into eff
feet it will give the small towns of the
state many thousands of dollars an

small town voter will also have the
satisfaction of knowing that he is vot-

his neighbors in the large towns the

towns will retain for themselves the
same right.

In the Senate, the other day, Senator
McLaurin of Mississippi brought up
the Indianola postofiice case, attempt
ing to show that the people of the
locality in which it existed had not
forced the woman who held the posi-
ton of postmaster from her place.
He did not state, however, why she
was objected to and asked to resign.
A correspondent from New Orleans,
writing to the Springfield Republican,
supplies the deficiency, though more
probably to his own satisfaction than
to that OF less preiudiced people. They
objected to this postmaster on account
of her color. But in making his state
ment we are told 10y the writer that in
the locality where the postoffice is. the
blacks outnumber the whites ten to
one, that the negro population is doub-
ling there every decade, that the
negro wealth is increasing even faster,
and that the negro schools are the best
in the South. II strikes us that this
correspondent, in giving these facts,
Internationally proves the propriety Of
a colored postmaster at Indianola.
The only reason he gives against it is
that some thirty years ago the negroes
were intrusted with power in that To-
cality and misused it. The same ne

Tuesday will have only himself to

will register their decision whether to
continue the prohibitory 'law in force
or try tie experiment of local-option,
allowing each town to decide for itself
whether or not it will license places to
sell Intoxicating liquors.
A week ago it looked as though the
prohibitionists we're sure winners and
they may yet be victorious, but for
several days now the tide has been
setting steadily in favor of the new
law and the Banner and Reformer be-
lieves that if the voters turn out as
they should, the local-option law will
win by a substantial majority.
twill not do, however, for the be-
levers in a change to be overconfdent.
Every local-option vote available is
needed to overcome the big prohibi-
ZIONIST majorities that will be returned
by Orleans, Caledonia, Lamoille,
Orange and other counties. Only over
whelming majorties for the local OPP
ton law ia Bennington, Rutland,
Chittenden and Washington counties
will win and the voters should be
alive to the fact.
The prohibitionists have been put
ting up a tremendous fight and expect
to win. There is no question but that
they have made heavy inroads on the
local-option strength since last fall
and If next Tuesday is pleasant day,
the small towns all over the state viii
stand ctrong against a change.
The prohibitionists have also sue
ceeded in pulling the wool over the
eyes of some by their misleading cry
against the open saloon. There are
in the state thousands of believers in
state system, where allliquors shall be
sold both for drinking and medicinal
purposes by the state or town, all the
profits going thereby into the public
treasury. The believers in such a
system are opposed to open licensed
saloons and are teased by the prohibi-
tionists to stand with them against the
new law but we cannot understand
how they can be so short sighted as to
be thus fooled.
The reason is not far to seek. The
prohibitionists got into power so years
ago and from that day to this have al
ways fought against a change except
to make the prohibitory law more
drastic and vicious. If they are re-
turned to power now, do you think
they will change their spots or enact
any more liberal law The idea is too
absurd to be considered seriously.
They will hold the states nose to the
grindstone just as they have always
done.
On the other hand if local-option
wins next Tuesday, the state merely
trys an experiment and will be in line
for any Improvement that may be sug-
gested in the legislature two years
hence. Any believer in a state system
or in any other substitute for the pro-
hibitory law who fails to vote yes in
favor Of the new law next Tuesday is
simply cutting of his own nose for the
benefit of the prohibitionists
Prohibition has played its limit and
proved a failure. For the first time in
50 years the state has a chance to try
an eXperiment that PROMISES some
thing better. If you do not accept
this opportunity, it may be so years
more before there is another Vote
yes > next Tuesday.

The Prohibitionists say, eff youlwill
defeat license this time we will at the
next session of the legislature give you
a dispensary law. We admit that the
prohibitory law is a failure" Do not
let them fool you. If they win this
time the next Legislature may make it a
crime to live within twenty rods of a
man who drinks.

For Prohibitionist to advocate a
dispensary system would seem to be
rank inconsistency. If he is a consist
ent Prohibitionist, how can he bring
his conscience to the point of advocat-
ing that the state itself take up the
business of selling Intoxicating liq-
uors?

In one of the prohibitionist adver-
tisements in this issue of the Banner
and Reformer the statement is made
that the question before the voters
neyt Tuesday is 'Do the voters want
open saloons in this town?n or some
thing to that effect. The statement is
absolutely false The question before
the voters next Tuesday Isl VIII the
voters uphold the law which gives
each town the right to act according to
the public sentiment of the town itself?
If the new law goes into effect there
can be no open saloons where there
are none now, for there are none at
present where the sentiment Of the pub
lie is strong enough against them
Further than that it will reduce the
number of open saloons in towns
where open saloons now exist and en-
able them to be controlled as they are
not controlled now. A vote for pro-
hibition next Tuesday is vote for
more and worse saloons than can pos
sibly exist il the new law is sustained.
