The seeond-class license, the one
that allows liquor to be sold not to be
drunk on the premises, comes in for the
strongest condemnation, and probably
with reason. More DRINKS doubtless
result from the stuff taken away in
bottles than from that served over the
bars and drank there. Yet the second
class saloon serves very proper de-
mand-that OF necessary liquors for
household purposes. To it 90 for
their supply great many responsible
persons who win not bother to get a
physicians prescription and patronize
a druggist holding a license of the fifth
class. A second-class store that
would serve these persons only would |
fulfil a worthy mission, but this is too
much to expect when the dealers
profits depend upon the amount of his
'ales. Wouldn't il be immeasurablv
better If this element could be elimi-
lated' and instead of an incentive TO
ell much the incentive were in the
opposite direction? That's the theory
f state control.

In the twelve years that the state
highway tax has been levied, Vermont
has expended nearly 100000 for
permanent roads, and the Free Press
doesn't hesitate to say there is little to
show for It. There has been much i'm.
proyement, though, the past six years,
under the system OF state supervision.
Before that it was simply bonus for
common maintenance, in which the
small towns, with many miles of high
way, got the lions share. The pres
ent law, il fully carried out, would in.
sure that the purpose of the act was
complied with. Its successful opera
ton depends very largely on the state
commissioner. Under the present sys-
TEN many towns have built several
miles each Of substantial highways
that otherwise would have been
sighted.

Here is how one town was carried
for license March LIST. One, Fisk G.
Rogers of West Dummerston, who ap-
parently combines an interest in the
rum business with a superintendency
in some granite quarries there, ran Is
Italians up TO Brattleboro a few DAYS
before the election and had them nat
uralized. As the town went license
by five majority, 1t is evident they
counted, as planned. Nothing illegal
in this, OF course, but it shows how
easy 1t is to carry town. when there
Is plenty of raw material handy.
We commend for careful reading the
editorial reproduced from the Mont
pelier Journal dealing with the prin-
ciple OF local option. 1t shows CON
clusively how in operation this prin-
ciple cannot be preserved. Towns

Joy its benefits when neiohboring

STATE MUST PAY BACK.
Prohibition Precincts Have Made Refund
ing Of Many Saloon Licenses
Necessary,

Austin, Tex, July 22.-Again
the counties are paying occupation
tax. that is the tax collectors are
renting the occupation taxes
which are being paid at this time,
and nearly all the collectors have
made their settlements. The in
crease in prohibition over the State
has tended to greatly decrease the
occupation taxes from the liquor
traffic, but the income from other
sources has increased, which makes
the aggregate about the same as a
year ago.
Twenty counties selected at ran
dom, and representative counties,
half of which show an increase in
occupation tax receipts and the
other decrease from that source,
come in with a net loss, however,
of 500. The first ten counties
report increase of $40. 500 as fol-
lows: Dallas, $4,000; Montague,
S11oO; Harris, $1,000; Bexar, $4,000;
Ell Paso, $4,000; Hardin, SIS, 500:
Tarrant, $4,000: Fort Bend, 500;
Harrison, $4,000; Hunt, $1,000.
The ten reporting decreases show
a total decrease of S47, 200 as fol-
lows: Jefferson. $1,000; Grayson,
$4,000: Travis. s170O; Ellis. $1,000;
Fayette, $1,000; Johnson, $1,000;
Kaufman. $1,000; Lamar; $1,000;
Madison. $1,000; McLennan, $4,000.
From the foregoing it will be
seen that the total occupation tax
receipts will do mighty well to
hold their own in comparison with
the large receipts of last year, as
local option has played havoc with

Congressman John n. Garner is
a popular man in Guadalupe coun-
ty, and we are glad to bear tribute
to his strict attention to his duties
as congressman. AT the recent
primary elections he polled big
ger vote than any other candidate,
outside of local politics and this
without any effort on his part. His
vote exceeds that of Gov. Lanham
and the governor has always been
popular here. We have been in a
position in the last two years to
know more of him in his official
capacity than we did as candidate
for congress against much loved
and able Guadalupian, J. B. Dbl
rell in whose candidacy we were
much interested and we bear will
ing tribute to the ability and in
terest he has displayed in attend
ing to every communication he has
received from this county which
is not only the home of his late
opponent but is usually classed as
a republican county. Let no one
who has any business with his con-
gresham ever hesitate to write
him. Red tape don't GO and they
will hear from him i'll the briefest
possible time. Guadalupe county
has found him an indefatigable
worker and he has her loyal sup
port. -Seguin Enterprise.

debatable ground is constantly e.
panding. At first they were inclin-
ed to put West Virginia, Delaware

beginning to admit that repub-
lican chances are slender in those
States.
Now California, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana and Utah are not only re-

ton points to democratic success
In those States. New York is al
most hopeless from a republican

nit that the democrats have as
good a chance to carry the State
as the republicans. Fairbanks has
not strengthened the ticket a par

Spirit of the Press
Taggart Has a Record.
Brooklyn Eagle.

Taggart has a record. 1t is that of
hard and determined fighter. In
speech he is neither ornamental nor
profuse, nor is he apt to make the
blunder of SuppoSing that talk will be
accepted as substitute for work. He
starts by admitting that it will be no
child's play to defeat President Roose-
welt, which is anything but a bad be-
ginning. He is, however, confident
that 1T can be done, and he is also con-
fident that every Democrat will stand
shoulder to shoulder with him in the
struggle. There is abundant warrant
for the conviction that few Demo-
Gratis will vote against Judge Parker
they have ceased to be Democrats
who have made up their minds to do
anything Of the sort. To THIS extent
the outlook is sufficiently encouraging.
1t has not been altogether a matter
Of good management. The logic of
events has created conditions which
have eVentuated in harmony cOnSoli-
dation, solidarity For the first time
in many years, there are practically
no discussions. Jones, who has just
been retired from the Craftsmanship,
had nothing but troubles on his hands.
Taggart can count upon cooperation
con amore. He could ask for no
more promising auspices. AS he has
already won several battles of the
forlorn hope variety, he may disa-
greeably surprise his adversaries.
1t was not mistake to endow the
new chairman with full power in the
matter of appointing committees. One
of the necessities of his case is that
there shall be no friction In his own
camp. Another is that he shall be
free to bestow as we'll as to exercise
authority. With conditions local to
certain sections he cannot, of course,
be as familiar as those whose touch
are closer than his own. The COM
mander who plans campaign upon
the theory that he can do it all
blunders irretrievably at the begin
ming. He has more than enough to
learn. Taggart Is no visionary. He is
practical, painstaking and is not likely
to forget the lessons of some of his
own experiences. Along the Repub-
lican line are some vulnrable spots
to which special attention must be
paid There is much electoral col
lege soil which it would be a waste
of energy for the Democrats to at
tempt to cultivate, just as it would
be absurd for the Republicans to
try to carry Georgia or Mississippi
On the other hand there are States
in which nothing that can be done
should be permitted to go by default
In these commemorative the battle
will be won or lost. 1t will not take
Taggart long to prove whether his
election was wise or otherwise. When
ne announces his appointments he will
show that he is either appreciative
of or oblivious to the magnitude of
the task he has undertaken. He has
become possessed of no sinecure.
