REV. DIR. Il. p. FROST.

Dr. Frost, formerly a well known
Methodist minister in this State and
city, writes from Newark, N. j.:
1t gives me pleasure to write few
words in response to your request for
some statement of my observation and
opinion concerning conditions in
Vermont under prohibition and con-
ditions in States under license. /
understand that you want a short let
ter of personal testimony rather than
a lengthy discussion
Since leaving Vermont near four
teen years ago | have resided in three
license States, the time of residence
being nearly equally divided among
the three. The liquor laws are no.
toriously violated in all these states,
notably in the respect to the sale of
liquor to minors and on Sunday.
Adulterated liquors are freely vended.
Grand jurors and other persons sworn
to "A faithful execution of the laws
are often grossly and stubbornly de-
relict in performing their duty, even
under the lash of judicial admonition
and condemnation. Vile adjuncts
to the saloon are permitted, which
foster vice and crime. License does
not eliminate from society the hypo-
critic, the perjurer, or the violator of
law for personal profit. The evils of
the liquor business are intrenched in
the desire for personal gain on the
part of the manufacturer and seller,
the desire for public revenues on the
part OF the tax payer, the desire for
political advantage ON the part of
the Office seeker and politician, the
social attractiveness of the saloon, and
in its skillful methods for inducing
and gratifying thirst for stimulants
License fails TO strike the evil at any
of these vital points. 1t does not re-
move the element of personal gain,
nor weaken the appeals to the Gu
pidlty of the tax payer, nor take the
traffic out of politics. nor remove the
social attractlveness OF the drinking
habit. nor lessen the opportunities
for INDUCING craving for stimu-
lants. AS compared to prohibition it
strengthens the appeal to the tax pay
er S cupidity, puts the traffic deeper
into politics, adds to the social at
Effectiveness of drinking, and makes
indulgence of the drinking habit
| easier
Therefore l prefer prohibition as ]
have seen it in Vermont to license
| wherever | have seen it.
| am sincerely yours.

For fifteen years | taught in the pub
lie schools in various sections Of that
State. | have been a resident of Bos-
ton for about seven years, and as SUI
perintendent of the Deaconess' Home,
whose workers 90 into every part Of
the city and its suburbs, have an OPP
portunity to know something of the
results of the license system. A large
proportion of the woe and want and
wickedness which we find can be
traced directly to the open saloon.
Much of our work consists in caring
for the wrecks produced by the saloon.
We witness daily the struggle of the
poor victim of appetite who's seeks for
emancipation from its terrible thrall-
dom, often overcome because weakened
morally and physically, and surround
ed by the euticements of the open sa-
loon. A thousand times over, is the
prohibitory law, even though it be
imperfectly enforced, to be preferred
to the legalized saloon. God save dear
Vermont

REV. o. r. MILLER.

REV. VI IL, MlLDEh.
Rev. o. r. Miller of Holyoke.,
Mass, field secretary of the Reform
Bureau of Washington, d. c., spoke
in the Brick church at East Montpe-
lier on Sunday afternoon on the prac-
tical workings of the high license law
in Massachusetts. Mr. Miller said
that he had been "A resident of Massa-
chusetts for fourteen years. and had
taken an active interest in trying to
get the Massachusetts license law en-
forced. But it was much harder to
enforce the provisions Of the high Ii
hibition. The liquor men Of Massa-
chusetts, he asserted, constantly and
fiagrantly violate every restrictive
provision of the license law. He
gave many facts from his own per-
sonal investigation at Holyoke. Mass,
where he has lived for the past five
years, showing that the liquor men
sell to minors, to drunkards, and on
the Sabbath in defiance of the law
The same condition was true, he said
i'll Chicopee and any other Massa-
chusetts cities which are under Ii
cense.
The experience of Massachusetts
proves that high license will not
stop the low dives. The high license
liquor dealers never complain of nor
stop the illegal dealers near them
He knew of several cases of illegal
liquor dealers doing big business
within few yards of saloon keepers
who We're paying 81, 800 and 81, 500
license, and yet never once in all the
history Of high license. in Massachu-
sets had he known high license
liquor dealer TO complain of an il
legal liquor dealer. Why? Because
every licensed dealer violates every
restrictive feature of the high license
law, and the illegal dealer knows that
fact and should the big dealer COM
plain of the little dealer, then imme-
diately the little dealer would COM
plain of the big dealer. Hence,
neither dare complain of the other.
Mr.. Miller gave many other facts
and arguments to show the failure of
high license in Massachusetts and
he compared many points in it with
the prohibltory law of Vermont,
showing the great superiority of the
latter. Mr.. Miller is clear thinker
and a fluent speaker.

AT Two Harbors the Sunday base
ball question has also had some filings
both pro and con. The journal OF
that city in recently commenting on
the affair noted as follows:
"The millennium is about to dawn
on our peaceful village and Two
Harbors is now ready to start in on
its thousand years of promised bliss
Some of the ministers and some oil
the saloon men are of the same op
inion. Both are opposed to Sunday
base ball; the former because it keeps
the people out of church, the latter
because it keeps the people out Of
the saloon. With these two factions
enjoying the same opinion we may
now look for peace and harmony tt
prevail for evermore.
