This Democrat Will Vote mo. &"

MIR. EDITOR II next TUESDAYS ref
erendum is 10 be real expression of
the popular will it is extremely impor-
tant that each voter should act strictly
in accordance with his own convic-
tons on the subject. The ideal refer
endum on question so well threshed
out in advance as this has been would
be one with absolutely no public agi-
tation and with the minimum of but
tonhole methods. 1t is the misfortune
of our otherwise admirable suffrage
system that voters in so many cases do
not vote their own but some other
mans convictions. In contest from
which the personal element is absent
it ought to be much easier than usual
to secure a genuine popular verdict.
In the present campaign the friends of
license are appealing to loyal partisans
to vote for the proposed law in the
interests OF the Republican party or OF
the Democratic party, as the case NAV
be. The fact is this is precisely the
time when a loyal partisan may cast a
strictly Independent vote with no
qualms of conscience whatever. for IL
is hard to imagine a question more
completely separate from partisan
advantage. In license states the
allegiance of the liquor sellers is
sometimes considered of political i'm
portance, but on the whole whiskey is
probably more of a nuisance than an
advantage to any party.
Friends of license are saving they

have already demanded il, but the
Vermont people have never spoken on
the question. They will speak next
Tuesday and no citizen will acquiesce

then made. Ii is well known that lust

made on the question of state expen-
diture; and that his platform called TOR

In Desperate Straits.

Mr.. IToR:-Judging from the
tactics employed by Perciyal W.
Clement in his speech at Montpelier,
the cause OF the license-local option
party must be trihe hopeless. At
lacking such men as ex-Chief Judge
and ex-senator Ross in that manner Is
a mighty poor way to make votes for
the license bill. and only illustrates to
what lengths the apostle of the wide
open saloon is willing to 90 in the
effort to save his political skin.
If the voters in every town In the
state will get out to the polls on the
third OF February, Vermont will give
a very emphatic and decisive answer
to the slim arguments being made by
the advocates of the wide-open saloon
and an unrestricted traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors. For practically unre-
stricted traffic is what we shall get
wherever there is saloon if the peo-
pie vote Yes on the local option

theories advanced by the friends of
that measure. j. W. SAuLf.

The License Side.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-
Please allow me to state my views
on license through the columns OF
your paper.
We do not dispute that intemper-
ance is a vice, but prohibition does
not supply the remedy. A man
cannot be made temperate by legis-
lative enactment. Crime is an otiense
against society; vice against ones
sell, and cannot be made a crime
until it becomes an offence against
society.
At a special election in February,
1858, at the end of temperance re-
vival which swept the state, the
present prohibitory act was passed
by a majority OF III votes out of a
total of 1920 1t made it a crime to
deal in alcohol in its various forms,
which the rest of the world says may
be dealt between man and man. II
encourages the eupidity of officers by
liberal allowances from costs, and il
entirely fails to suppress the evils of
intemperance, but increases them,
and creates others which are greater.
There is more liquor now used in
Vermont than in any other state in
the union, according TO the popula-
ton. The whole effect of the law has
been curse to our state. 1t has
caused hypocrisy, perjury, lying and
evils greater than intemperance itself.
Liquors are sold by towns, so there
is no profit by the state, which there
will be under the new law. / am
opposed to any law which is enforced
by officers tees, and not by public
sentiment. Such law is blackmail.
The law makes an act which upon
its own principle is wrong. II gives
to Justice OF the peace the right TO
try man and imprison him at his
own discretion. IL offers a bride to
secure a conviction, even. A few
years ago one Kibbling from Windsor
county was sent to the workhouse for
sixty-nine years for selling liquor
HIS wife and two children died while
he was there. At the same time q
man killed his uncle in Fairfield. VT.
He only got ten years in prison.
What voter can vote to uphold
such a law? The present prohibitory
law has been in force for fifty years.
Drinking has increased; so has crime,
for the present law does not prohibit
1t Is all wrong. Now, voters, 90 to
the polls February 3rd and vote Tor
the 'new law" Do not disgrace our
state any longer. Let us try the new
law and if it don't work then repeal

CERTAIN THINGS EXPLAINED.

The license advocates are puzzled.
Dismay rests on their eountenance,
and their voice is broken.
What is the matter?
Why, they see certain things and
they can't explain Them things that
do not please them, either.
One chief burden Of their sorrow is
the discovery that good many per-
sons who have written and spoken
against the prohibitory law are not
now going to vote for the license act
presented, They cannot understand
this. They cannot fathom the incon-
sistency of man who is not satisfied
with prohibition, yet prefers it to
license.
Especially critical are these local
optionists of those who say frankly
that they choose the side of prohibit
ton at this time simply as the lesser
of two evils, and who announce their
belief in system OF state control of
the liquor traffic. modelled along the
lines OF the late Battell bill. Why a
numerous and rapidly increasing sup
port should now appear for meas
ure like this passes the comprehension
Of those who hope the pending act will
win
Now il is not such a mystery. after
all, and if our good license friends
will listen we will try to reveal it to
them.
And first let us inquire by what
right they assume that there are only
two ways OF settling this question,
which has troubled the whole world
for years and years? Is there no
issue except prohibition OF license
Both have been tried. in varying
! forms. by states and nations, and both
have failed, according to fair and i'm
partial judgment. Prohibition does
not regard the personal rights of men
who have done nothing to warrant the
harsh measures adopted toward them.
1t is oppressive, needlessly oppressive.
When fully enforced, it is tyranny
when uneniorced it is a sham. An
even worse failure is license. 1t seeks
to discriminate between drinkers, and
