The license law starts of with many
click and jar, very unlike the we'll
oiled machine that its ardent admirers
predicted it would be. Somebody
threw monkey-wrench into it at Mid
dlebury, while at Barre the dummed
thing has baked completely, and even
the ingenuity of the versatile Langley
can't join the cogs so that its own
friends will know it. The trouble
there seems to be that only the cheap
cusses who applied got licenses-if we
are to believe what the disappointed
ones say. The Barre Local Option

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE WAY.

New Hampshire has just taken a
step in legislation that we would like
to see taken in Vermont, dealing with
the mooted subject of capital punish
ment. The penalty for murder in the
first degree is changed to life imprison-
ment, but the jury before whom the
case is heard may, in its discretion,
substitute capital punishment Tor that
particular crime. Other states, we be-
lieve. have similar laws.
Some advantages appear in this
plan over the infliction of either capt.
tai punishment or life Imprisonment
alone. If there is anything to the ar
gument that hanging serves as great
er deterrent to the commission of muir
der than the other penalty, this is saw
ed, for the murderer may never know
in advance which fate will be his.
Then there are particularly atroeious
or revolving murders tor which the life
penalty seems altogether insufficient.
The trial jury would be in possession
of all the facts and to it might safely
be entrusted the option to impose
death, if it appeared that justice and
the good OF the state would be better
served thereby. So, too, the condemn
ed murderer, serving a lite sentence,
might be under fear of added punish
ment should he shay his keeper, or, in
case of escape, his pursuers. Such a
provision might take away the incen-
tive toward lynching that some people
think would follow the total abolition
of capital punishment.
1t is inconceivable that twelve men
would agree to the death penalty I'M
less there were reason Tor it so appar-
ent that it would meet with the appro-
baton of the whole state. The adop-
ton OF this policy toward murderers
would cover the whole situation, and
there would be no cause for recourse
to the state legislature for commuta-
ton. which has become in Vermont a
scandal upon Justice.

One OF the many questions that
have arisen under the new license law
is whether or not tpermits druggists to
hold licenses other than those specially
provided tor them. 1t has a practical
bearing, inasmuch as many druggists
in cities and towns that voted license
have applied for second-class licenses
giving them the right to sell liquor OF
all kinds not to be drunk on the prem
Uses. There is nothing in the wording
of the act that leads one TO a definite
conclusion either way, and good au-
thorities differ about it. The applica-
tons come as a surprise, after the rep
reservations made by the druggists
at Montpelier when the bin was nm
der consideration. The committee
was told, with an air Of injured limo
cence, that Vermont druggists were
not and did not wish to be rumsellers
that they simply wanted the right to
dispense liquors in the legitimate and
proper ways that their line OF business
demanded and they outlined a system
with proper safeguards against abuses
very similar to that which was en-
grated into the law, covered by the
druggists license class. Now we find
some of the very men who made this
plea asking for irregular rum sellers
license Isn't that rather forcible
commentary on their own sincerityP
The manifest intention OF the laws
trainers, as stated by Senator Russell,
who bore leading part, was that the
druggists license should cover the
case, as far as druggists We're concern

convicted and, under the new law,
sentenced to years Imprisonment in
the House OF Correction. In Middle
bury few days before, twenty or
thirty men got drunk. disturbed the
peace and were properly fined. The
men who sold them the liquor did so
under the same law, but no penalty is
melted out to them. Why? Because
they had license, while the Randolph
seller did not. But, actually, is there
any material difference between the of
tense in Randolph and the same Of
Tense in Middlebury? If drunk-caus-
ing is serious crime in Randolph,
does il become a mere incident un-
worthy of attention in Middlebury
simply because a majority of the voters
in Middlebury voted yes last month,
while majority in Randolph voted
no? According to the local option
theory, OF course it does, but what
would you say of any other law that
visited a years Imprisonment on a
man in one part of the state and sane
toned the same offence in another part
of the same state, whatever the diverse
local sentiments, in return for the pay
