The local option high license law
was accepted by the people of the State
of Vermont at special election Tues
day, and after test of prohibition ex-
tending over period Of fifty years
Vermont passes out of the list Of pro-
hibition states. The only question be.
fore the people of the State in this
election was the rejection or accept
ance of the local option law, and the
people of Vermont seem to have de-
cided that local option law, under
which each community decides for it
self as to the extent the liquor business
shall be carried on within it's iurisdic-
ton, and under which the business
pays it's share of the taxes, is infinite
ly better than prohibition law which
does not prohibit and which pays no
revenue to the State. The enforce
uent of any prohibitory laws in the
liquor traffic in any of the cities or
towns of the State has been found to
depend wholly on the attitude of the
inhabitants towards them, and in
many of the larger cities the liquor
business has been carried on openly
for years and the authorities have
never been able to secure juries to con-
vict the dealers under the State law.
The new law will enable the cities
whose Inhabitants are opposed to pro-
hibitiop to license the traffic and legal
ize business which has been carried
on in open defiance of all law, while it
will still permit the cities where the
prohibitionists are in the majority to
bar out the business.

Post0ffice Official Comes to Kenosha
to Look Into Alleged lrregulari-
ties in the Carrier Service.
EVIDENCE IS TAKEN IN CHARGE.
Plumbers and Saloon Men Visited In Search
for Evidence of Destruction of Mall
No Action at Present Time.

Government Postofice Inspector
Ralph Bird, of Milwaukee, came to
Keuosha on Tuesday afternoon to look
into the alleged irregularities in the
carrier service In this city. His call
was the result of some mail matter
having been found in the saloon Of
Henry Gerling, on Elizabeth street,
and while no action has as yet been
taken in the matter the inspector has
announced that he will go to the bot
tom of the matter and sift out the
guilt.
Inspector Bird Tuesday afternoon
called on the plumber who found the
matter in the sewer and also on Mr..
Gerling, and tooka the evidence that,
had been given into Milwaukee for the
consideration of the Government Of
ficials. He gave no intimation as to
what would be done in the matter, but
limited to the officials that the alleged
crime was a rather unusual one. The
carrier who has been accused of dump
ing the mail into theSsewer, declares
that he is entirely innocent of any
wrong doing and no effort has been
made to have him suspended pending
the result of the investigation.
The men pushing the Investigation
are determined that if the carrier was
guilty Of the alleged fault not to allow
him to escape unpublished. AS far as
can be learned such a case has not
been found in the records Of the carrier
department, and it is difficult to tell
what steps will be taken if the guilt CT
the letter carrier is proven. 1t will
probably mean that he will be re-
moved from the service, but as to any
criminal prosecution nothing has been
given out. The Post Office officials in
kenosha have nothing to say in regard
to the matter, and the Postmaster
stated Tuesday night that the further
action would be determined entirely by
Inspector Bird after he had examined
the evidence in the case fully.
The fact that the mail, which was
alleged to have been thrown into the
sewer, was all second class matter,
will cut little figure in the determining
of the guilt or innocence of the accused
carrier, as the Government regards the
interference with any sort of mail
matter as serious offense, and seldom
allows such an act to go unpublished.
The report of the Inspector will be
made public within the next few days,
and at that time formal action will be
taken.

Mr.. White has not as yet decided
what he will do, but it is possible that
he will remain in Kenosha.
