The high license men had their rally at
the town hall Wednesday evening, with
A. p. Childs of Bennington and T. w.
Maloney of Rutland as speakers. Fine
music was furnished by the Middlebury
orchestra. The lower hall was well
filled. Both speakers devoted most of
their arguments to the Battell bill.
Briefly summed up they tried to make
two points:
First-That the dispensary law was a
fraud and failure.
Second-That the Battel bill was being
used simply to sidetrack license, and
would never be heard of if license was
defeated next Tuesday.
The Register would say in reply:
First, anyone who has read the Battell
bill and the South Carolina dspensary
law knows that they are as different as
black and hte.
Second, tie charge that the Battell
men will drop the idea of state control
system if high license is defeated next
Tuesday is absolutely and unqualifiedly
false.
The committee of fifteen is pledged to
push this idea, and petitions to Governor
Mccullough are being circulated all over
the state asking him to appoint a com
mittee of % leading men of all classes 10
draft a bill for state control as soon as
the license act is beaten.
1t would be easier to turn Niagara
backward than stop the irresistible cur
rent in favor of broad, practical system
of state control that is sweeping the
state, and the license papers and advo-
Gates know il, and that is why they are
lighting with speclous arguments and
false statements the Battell BILL because
it stands for a system of state control
that means pure liquor, elimination of
self or corporation gain and greed, and
the return of all profits from the traffic to
the people.

Got EN- Again.

We regret to see that our esteemed
contemporary the Rutland Herald is
again afflicted, as it was in the last cam
paign, with enlarged or magnified vision.
This caused it no end of trouble last fall,
as it made 1t say that p. w. Clement
spoke to audiences Just twice their real
size. After the campaign was over it so
far recovered that it could tell the truth
again-in its news columns.
Now it has "got 'em again" and sees
everything double. That is why it said
800 attended the license rally here, while
the hall only holds $50, and was not full.
That is why it says there will be a
Eyes" majority next Tuesday. 1t sees
double. Poor old Herald, almost 100
years old. 1t ought to know better.
Let no one be deceived by anything it
says. 1t will be all right again after
election.

Last Word to Voters.

Let every voter in Addison county and
in Vermont, remember that II the high
license bill is beaten Feb. 3, state con-
troll law will be passed by the next legis-
lature, or by an extra session OF the
present one, which will furnish pure
liquors at fair price to those who want
them and are in proper condition to
use them (the State will not beat its
citizens either in quality or price,,
but does away with the worst evils
of a high license or open saloon
law, for it offers no temptation to pur-
chase liquor; and it will pay very
considerable part of our taxes.
In regard to this last point there is no
possible question. The expenses of the
Russian empire are largely paid from
this source. In Sweden and Norway the
profits of monopoly sale for 80 years
averaged over 81 100000 year. And
this after the sale of liquors was reduced
two thirds, and was less per capita than
in any other civilized country of the
world. In Gottenburg the net profits
in single year amounted to SlSO.OOO, or
81 per cent of the total revenue raised by
taxes. In South Carolina the net profits
In five years were over 81 100000.
These are the profits which, by the
high license bill, go to the liquor sellers.
BY the Battell bill they will be distrib-
uted to all the people to reduce taxation.
And we ask every taxpayer who thinks
of voting Eyes" on Tuesday next, why
give this money to the saloon keeper ?
1t should pay about one third of your
taxes every year. Vote No.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1903-01-30

gence and conscience Of the State are
thoroughly awakened, we ought not to
be satisfied alone with the defeat of this
high license bill, and timely readiust-
ment of our temperance legislation,
though these are of very great impor-
lance, but should determine in every
way possible to advance the material
interests of the State.
Let the wealth of the State Join with
its labor to improve all natural advan-
tages and develop every possible in
dustry. Let all the people strive to at
tain habits of industry and economy.
Let every man who is tempted to drink
to excess take this opportunity to resist
that temptation and overcome the habit,
and let those who have 1t not determine
to keep free of it. So shall flowers
blossom around our homes, and thrift
and comfort dwell in all our towns and
villages.

be the first of May, 1904, within five months
of the meeting of the next Legislature, before
liquor license could possibly go into effect if
the state voted eyes" next Tuesday,

The following excellent editorial from
the Bellows Falls Times Illustrates the
large and constantly increasing number
of influential newspapers in the State,
which urge the defeat of the high license
bill, Feb. 3, because preceiving that In
the open saloon it Introduces into YER
mont factor that the world over has
been shown to be prolific of disorder,
immortality and crime; and because it is
evident that this being beaten the peo-
pie are about to take the matter out of
the hands of the politicians, and readust
it themselves upon sensible lines, solely
in the the interests of correct public pol
cies, and the increased happiness and
prosperity of the State.
The people of Vermont will pass on a question
of great importance on February 5, perhaps the
most important that has arisen during the past
half century. The decision OF that day may stand
for many years to come. Prohibition has been
Vcrmonts system of regulating the liquor traffic
for 20 years. If it suffers defeat at the polls Feb
ruarv Z the result will be license and local option
as the settled policy of the State. Don't let any
voter dcludc himself with the thought thatwc can
trv a change and if we don't like We can change
back in two years. In even so short period as
two years the saloon would become too strongly
cntrenchcd to be easily routed. If the majority
vote on February is "ycs" license and local OPP
ton will become the settled method OF regulation.
On the other hand if the majority vote is mo"

On the Nature of a Refere dunn

The favor with which the Battell bill
when first published was received in all
sections of the state plainly shows that
it is something of this kind that the peo-
pie wanted. And if the legislature had
submitted this bill or something similar
it would have been accepted beyond
question. For this is the nature Of a
referendum, it accepts what it likes and
discards whatlit doesn't. And most en-
phatically the people do not want the
open saloon which they know perfectly
well will, and of necessity must, spread
drunkenness, crime, misery and poverty
into every city or town that it enters.
A very large and increasing number Of
Vermonters had made up their minds
that at many points in the State the pres
ent prohibition law had outlived its use
fulness, because of long continued and
increasing negligence in its enforcement.
These voters, given suddenly an oppor-
tunity. rallied TO the banner of local OPP
ton, but politicians and the legislature
were alike mistaken in supposing that
they wanted the open saloon. They do
not. They would like good decent
practical law regulating the sale of
liquors, that would be reasonably salts
factory to all. In the Battell bill they
think they see law OF that kind.
In the high license bill they do not see a
law of that kind, but instead aswide open
saloon, or rather hundreds of them, en-
ticing the young. debauching the old,
desolating homes, interfering with legi-
innate trade, causing poverty and
crime and therefore materially increas-
ing taxation; and they do not want il,
and if we understand rightly their char
acter will not have it. Vermont voters
are not easily fooled, the politicians
may fool themselves and so the legisla-
ture may fool itself, but when it comes
to a referendum the voters are on deck,
and will teach both politicians and legis-
lature that when they ask for bread they
do not want to be given, and are not 60
ing to accept stone.

The Burlington Free Press brings for
ward the point raised by Mr.. McGet-
trick, the democratic candidate for gov
ernor, and an excellent lawyer, that
should the Eyes" vote on the high
license bill prevail Feb. 3, there would
be no vote in the different towns on the
question of license until March, 1904, as
the sections of the bill providing for such
vote could not go in force before that
date. This is probably the second ques-
ton that Governor Mccullough referred
to the supreme court, and 1t would APP
pear to be certain that these sections are
not operative until March, 1904. The
letter in the Free Press thus continues -
"If this be true where shall we find ourselves
on the morning of March 5 next in case of a
eyes" vote on February 8? According to sec
ton 90 the prohibitory law will indeed be
dead, and all town agencies abolished, but
what will take its place? Every restrictive
feature of the new law will come instantly
into full force. Any man in Vermont who
without a license sells drop of liquor con-
tanning more than one per cent Of alcohol
