Up to date, ones opinion OF license
in Vermont seems to depend pretty
much upon whether one views it
through prohibition or local option
spectacles. And this condition bids
fair to continue.

You may as well face the truth,
gentlemen, which is this; Another
split is inevitable if the Republican
organization insists on nominating
a prohibitionist next year. [-Benning-
ton Banner and Reformer.
Now if the no-license Republicans
take the same position and declare
that radical license man cannot be
nominated without a split in the party
the inevitable will surely happen.

treatment OF the license laws opera.
ton in Brattleboro, although he has
friends of the law ON the ragged edge
by his outspoken utterances. His
endeayor is to recognize conditions
as they are, instead of denying the
palpable truth, and by pointing out
the remedies offered under the law
itself to secure their betterment. 1t
is a worthy purpose, whatever ones
opinion of the law. Here is an ex-
tract from his latest communication
to the Phpnix:-
- i don't know how it may be
with other lawyers; perhaps they
all come to me; but il YOU
could hear the tales / have heard in
the last month from mothers. wives
and daughters, with tears and groans,
asking if there can't anything be done
TO save their homes and families from
the blight of this licensed rum, you
would be ashamed OF your law Ii is Just
awful, and you have noconception OF it.
$50 said one OF our leading law
yers the other day. / don't ques-
ton the substantial truth OF his
statement. For the sake OF ar
gument l will concede that the
condition is worse than under PRO
hibition,n though | don't believe it or
doubt that the same things existed
then. and even worse in some cases +:
but that they come to the lawyer now
because the victims think they see,
under license in open daylight, where
the fault lies and where to strike !;
whereas under "prOhibition" it was
all in the dark, no one .'ofti-
cially knew where the liquor
came from-unless the town agency
and anything the poor distracted
woman could do, she felt, would be
but blow in the air.

aud has produced some very rich
placer gold. The Galice has also
been developing for some time, and
joins the St. Helens, both properties
being situated on Galice creek. The
