The Mortified News says The
backbones of the Brattleboro license
seem to be made of the
right stuff. They refuse to grant the
request by petition to reinstate the IL
luor sellers who had their licenses re-
voked because they disregarded the
aw. The question now arises as to
whether licenses can be granted to
,ther parties to fill the vacancies. The
aw does not provide for such con-
urgency. The license advocates
alked so much about a strict observ-
lnce of all conditions under a license
aw that it is possible that II did not
,ccur to the trainers of the bill that
here would ever be such serious in
by the dealers as to war
ant revoking a license. 1t seems to be
accepted as good logic, if not
.ood law, that a town which had voted |
or license ought not to be deprived of /
IS advantages because of the illegal |
ction of those in whom the booze-dis- I
ensing power had been confided."
