Give Il a Fair Trial.

We wish the result of Tuesdays
vote had been more decisive, either on
one side or the other, for a majority of
only 1000 votes is a very narrow one
on a question OF the Importance Of the
one thus decided. But the purpose
and disposition of every friend of tenn
perance ought. nevertheless, to be
that of accepting the result in good
faith and of giving the license law an
absolutely fair trial. The burden of
responsibility is now shifted from the
shoulders of the prohibitionists TO
those of the license advocates. We
don't mean by this that any temper
ance man or prohibitionist ought to
play, or has any right TO play, the part
of an obstructionst. On the contra
ry. the universal determination ought
to be to give the new law the fairest
trial possible If, in the coming two
wears, its advocates can show, as they
have claimed, that license law with
local option, tends to control and re-
strict the sale of spirituous liquors,
that it tends to sobriety, that it does
away with fraud and hypocrisy, in
short. that such law can be honestly
and effectively enforced to the better
ment of the state, the result will
be gladly recognized and accepted by

The size of the Brattleboro majority
for license was distinctly a disap-
pointment to the license men. The
total vote was larger than anybody
would have dared to predict, but.
when it was known at 3 o'clock that
1900 votes were already in the box,
predictions were free on both sides
that license would carry by $50 to 800
majority. The actual figures were
lis. And the question now is: Can
Brattleboro be carried for license on
the first Tuesday in March? A good
many license men consider this a
more than doubtful proposition. If
the voters tell the truth and mean
, what they say, there were a good
many men who voted yes Tuesday as
an endorsement OF the principle of To-
cal control who will not vote for open
saloons in Brattleboro-enough to a
good deal more than offset Tuesdays
majority.

The state of Vermont gave a small
majority for the license law in the
referendum vote on Tuesday. The
total vote was about $4,000, as against
total of $685. votes cast in the last
September election and 66491 votes
cast in September 1900. Estimates
of the majority differ. The Burling-
ton Free Press and the St. Adams
Messenger each gathered its own re-
turns independently. and their esti-
mate of the vote is substantially the
same. On the day following the vote
they placed the majority at about 1175
but yesterday the Free Press publish
ed a correction which will leave the
majority at about an even one thous-
and. The returns gathered by the
Associated Press at the White River
Junction Office and published by the
Rutland Herald, place the majority at
about 1850. 1t is probable that the
returns of the Burlington and st. AL
bans papers are the more nearly cor
rect The exact figures will not be
known until the secretary of state an
nounces the official returns on the
18th Of February, as the new law re-
quires him to do.
The weather on Tuesday was per-
No day in the whole year could have
been more favorable for full vote
Curiously, it was a single day of sun
shine sandwiched between days of
clouds and rain.
As was expected the majority for
license was given mainly by the large
towns. From the table printed be-
low it will be seen that nine counties
sustained the prohibitory law, while
five went for license. II will be seen
also that the state is nearly divided
by the mountain line into license and
prohibition sections Among the
large towns. Bennington takes the
cake" as an advocate of license. Its
vote was 1896 yes to 1SS no, almost
eight to one. St. Adams city is a
good second. with 1923 yes votes and
only 2l9 no.
OF the 246 cities and towns in the
state, 1872 voted against the law; SO
were in favor; in four the result was
tie, and at this writing the little
town of Shoreham, in Rutland county
is yet to be heard from 1t will be
seen, therefore, that the numerical
ratio of cities and towns was about
five TO three in favor of prohibition.
The 1852 little towns gave in round
figures a majority of 10,202 against
local option, while Sc larger commun-
tiles rolled up a majority of 1880
for the law. Rutland county has the
distinction of having given the largest
ma ajority of any county for license, its
figures being 2726. Chittenden
county stands second with a majority
of 2279 The banner county for pro-
hibition. so far as majority is con-
cerned is Orleans, which rolled up a
majority of pip. but Windsor county
gave a total vote of 1905 for prohibi-
tion. which was the largest in any
county, Caledonia giving it a close
second with BIOS.
The fight was closest in Addison

A Dry Spell.
From the Barre Times. /

The city liquor agency will go out Of
business March 1st, when the new license
law takes effect. The city does not
vote on granting licenses until March 8.
If it votes license the mayor and alder
men have 16 days in which to appoint a
license commission. After the commits
sion is appointed and applications are
received they must be advertised, and
a public hearing given before it can be
granted. If a license is granted. it will
be May LIST, practically, before the licensee
can begin business. Between March LIST
and May 1st Barre will have to forego
medicine, such as is usually secured at
the agency.
The same condition will prevail in
Brattleboro and every other agency
town. Strictly speaking the license
law goes into effect Tuesday, March 3,
and we understand that the agencies
can supply the demand for medicine
up to Monday night, March I'd,

Statistics received by the depart
ment of agriculture indicate that the
Interchangeable law has had a
marked effect in reducing the sale of
spurious butter. The law went into
effect July 1st last For the first six
months of 1902 the sales amounted to
52,S43 900 pounds, while for the six
months July to January the sales
were only S6,157OOO pounds-a falling
off of about 100000 pounds Most
of the oleomargarine sold is now
white, and no attempt is made to com
pete with butter, though some South
ern concerns are mixing palm oil
with their cotton-seed oil, thus max
ing a slightly colored product.

The Narrow Maruin.

The worst disappointed people over
the result of Tuesdays vote are the
leading advocates of high license.
The Burlington Free Press calls at
tention to the fact that Mr. Clement
claimed that the license vote for gov
ernor would be augmented on Feb. )
by the Democratic vote. as well as
by many votes cast for Mccullough
in September, and he confidently pre-
dicted that the vote for the new law
would be $4,000. He has lately made
a confident claim of a majority of
anywhere from 10000 up. AS a. mat
ter of fact, the yes vote was only 80
602. or over 1900 less than the A.
coo claimed by Mr.. Clement and his
followers in advance, and only about
$500 more than the 2S,021 votes re
ceived by the license candidate in
September The Free Press further
shows that, figuring on a basis of
electing members of the legislature,
the 100 towns which voted against Ii
cense would, on the liquor issue, elect
| representatives opposed to license,
while only so would elect representa-
! tives in favor of license. Figuring on
the basis of counties, Bennington,
| Chittenden, Franklin, Rutland and
Washington would elect IA senators in
favor of license, while the other nine
counties would elect 16 senators
against license all of which goes to
show, that looking toward the possible
repeal of the law, the license people
| by their narrow margin of victory, are
placed on their good behavior and
their honor in the enforcement of the
new law.

French Bark Wreck.

Captain Rauld and seven men of the
French bark Connetable de Richmon
which was wrecked on the reef at the
French Tlrigate Shoals, nearly two
weeks ago. were brought to Honolulu
from Kauai by the Mikahala this morn
ing. They landed at Kauai yesterday
after eleven days of hard work under
the most trying conditions. Two other
boats, in charge of the first mate and
boatswain, and containing sixteen men
are still at sea and unaccounted for.
The rescued men were met by Mr.,
Raas, acting French Consul, this
morning and taken to the Sailors
bone, where they are quartered.
The vessel was sailing in ballast from
Hongkong to the Sound and had had
very bad voyage. Once she obtained
provisions at sea from the Peking. At
another time, when her supplies were
low, she hoisted the distress flag to
the Nippon Maru, but that vessel
steamed away without granting the de-
sired assistance.
The main rock on the French Fri
bore the appearance of being full
rigged ship. The captain steered his
vessel in that direction and landed on
the reef five miles away Boats had to
be taken at once as the vessel was be-
ing rapidly pounded to pieces. The
twenty-four men took to three boats,
eight in each, and put off. All had sup
plies of fresh water and were fairly
well provisioned. After the first day
the captains boat lost sight of the
other two and never saw them after
ward.
There was some effort this morning
to get the Iroquois to go out in search
of the missing boats, but no conclu-
sion of the matter was reached.

Union Grill saloon under one license,
AS a matter of fact, Peacock has the
best end of the case, both of his coun-
ters being in the same building and
only separated by wall which can be
easily opened, if necessary, while Gun
has double-barreled license covers
two distinct buildings, opening princi-
pally on two different streets. While
not admitting the propriety of extend
ing the Cnuha license to take in the
Union Grill, we do contend that II
that were right, then the claim of Mr.
Peacock for a single license to cover
his two counters is also right.
