The license commissioners of Brat
tleboro discharged their duties with
fearlessness in revoking three licenses
because liquor had been sold tominorsl
There is a conflict of evidence as to
whether public opinion sustains the
commissioners. We think there would
have been no doubt about it had it not
been for the fact that the states attor-
ney was unable to convict the men
whose licenses had been revoked.
just such stringent enforcement of the
law is required to maintain respect for
the law. No license towns are hav-
ing taste of more severe pro-
hibition than they ever had under the
old law. License towns should be
shown exactly what the law means.
While It contains stringent provisions
they are put there for purpose, and
that purpose cannot be carried out if
these provisions are ignored. Mont
