The New License Law.

The first licenses granted under the
new law were here at Middlebury, and
the State as well as Middlebury had
quite an object lesson. The result during
the first week was the arrest and filming
of nearly score of persons for intoXi-
cation.
This punishment seems to have given
at least temporary check to the viola
ton of law, and the Register earnestly
hopes that this improvement will con-
tinue.
We think it is a fact that a certain
class of people in the State conscien-
tiously believed that license law
would be a better temperance law than
the prohibitory law in the way that this
last was enforced Their idea was that
the license law would be well enforced,
and that thus enforced it would be a
better law than prohibition poorly en-
forced
The Register respects an honest SEN
timent like this and is very willing to
encourage those who have it in the
enforcement of the law. But the
true friends of the new law. those
who have thought that it would be a
beneficial measure, should realize
that if it does not prove so, but instead
leads to increased drunkenness, poverty
and crime, the people are watching
closely, and are very sure to find it out,
and, in that case, will get rid of
it at their first opportunity, and put
something more sensible in its place.
The difficulties that our friends who
really are DESTROYS of the successful
working of the new law, have to en-
counter, are these:
First, the greed of those who take out
licenses. The good sense of all rec
ognizes that most of those who sell will
sell all they can, or all they dare, and
they will take many risks in their
anxiety to make money.
Second, the inordinate desire for
liquor by that class who are unable to
control their appetite.
anu llllu, lllt lllutltSlS Vi lnOSt VIII
under the new conditions have drifted
into some more or less renumerative
offices, and are Indifferent to the work
ings of the law if they can keep these.
Because of the intelligence of our
people we do not expect very much
difficulty from this last class; but we dc
expect any amount of trouble and dis.
aster from the element of greed which
enters so largely into the problem
We fear it will bring to grief all the
efforts of those who hope for better re-
suits from the new regime than were
realized from the old If so. they and
all others, who honestly desire the public
good, will try again. For not a poorer
but better law is what our people
wanted, and not a poorer but a better
law is what they will have.

Uncle Sam Wants Smart Young Men

The Civil Service Commission has
officially announced Examinations for
this fall to be held in every state.
Perhaps not since the Inauguration of
the Civil Service has there been so
many appointments made in the var
ious departments of the service as
during the past year and the good
work is still going on; particularly, is
this true in the Railway Mail, one OF
the best paying positions coming UNI
der the civil service rules. The pay
is good from the start with fine oppor-
tunities for promotion. Full particu-
lars may be secured by addressing the
Interstate Schools, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. Their students receive the high
est grades and consequently the first
appointments. Their hundreds of
students now in the service testify to
the excellence of their work. 3lw4F
