License or No License.

Our local pages are given over this week
to a discussion of the question OF license
or no license in Brattleboro. The sew
eral contributions will be read with in
terest, and will be accepted for what they
are worth in the view Of each reader. But
after everything has been said, in print
and by word of mouth, the fact remains
that it is the individual voter, casting
his ballot as conscience and his best judg-
ment dictate, that must decide this ques-
tion. The impression prevails that the
vote will be for no license, and we hope
1t will be. We can only tell by trying
whether 1t is worse to have license in
Brattleboro or to have the line drawn at
the Hinsdale bridge,-and at the very least
1t is only a logical course under the law
for us to try both ways But beyond this,
we hope the vote will be so large and so
general as to leave no doubt as to the
collective win of the town. It is a time
when believers in no license may line up
with reasonable hope of success-but,
whatever your belief take your share Of
citizens responsibility and votel

NO CHANGE IN SELLING.
Saloons viii Keep open Until II o clock
Until Present Licenses Expire.

The new license law went into effect
Wednesday. and the Brattleboro license
commissioners were asked by license
holders whether the restrictions imposed
by 1t affected their licenses, which were
issued prior to the enactment of the new
law, or whether their licenses were sub
ject only TO the restrictions imposed by
the law in force when they were issued.
Section % of the new law bars druggists
from holding other than fifth class Ii
censes, restricts holders of second and
seventh class licenses from selling be-
tween at night and in the morning, re-
stricts holders of licenses other than
second and seventh class from selling
between 10 at night and in the morning,
prohibits tine use Of tables chairs booths
etc, in barrooms, and imposes other con-
ditions. The commissioners advised the
licensees to observe the new law until an
opinion was given by Attorney General
Clarke c. Fits. who had received re-
quests for an opinion from other sources.
Mr. Fits gave his opinion last night, and
today copies of II were sent to the states
attorneys throughout the state.
The text of the opinion is as follows:
Section 10 of said act No 115 of 1904 pro-
vides that all licenses issued under said
act shall expire on the first day of May
next following their issue unless sooner
forfeited or rendered void. The last
clause of said section says: This pro-
vision Tor the expiration of licenses shall
not apply to licenses now i'm force, mean
ing, of course. licenses i'm force the day
the act was approved, Dec. 10. 1904. Said
act No. lis as a whole took effect Mar. J.
1905 but the last clause of said section
must be construed as continuing in force
all licenses issued under act No. 80, of
1902 prior to Dec. 10, 1904. Licenses so is
sued are subject to tine conditions and
prohibitions of section "a of said act No.
9O of 1902, and are not on their face, and
were not at the time of issue subject to
the additional and other conditions and
prohibitions contained in section % of said
act No lis of 1904. Said section % says:
Licenses shall be subject to the follow
ing conditions and prohibitions. The
word licenses must mean licenses issued
under the provisions of said act No lis
of 1904, and, as I view It, said section o
cannot be construed as reading the con-
ditions of prohibitions therein contained
into the licenses granted under the law of
1902.
1T is my opinion therefore that all
licenses in force issued under the law of
1909. are, as long as they are in force,
subject to the conditions and prohibitions
imposed and prescribed by section % of
act No. 80 of 1902, and are not subject
TO the additional conditions and prohibi-
tions imposed by section % of act No. liza
of 1884,

lime TO Stop and Think.

Editor OF The Phoenix:
There is a side 10 the question of license
in Brattleboro which should be well con-
sidered by every voter. Ii Is all very we'll
to make money. TO lower the tax rate but
II this is done by conta ANIMATION OF tne
bodies and souls OF the coming citizens
II is time To stop and think When the
young are led by an ever-present tempta-
ton into those ways which lead down
ward II is time To stop and think. When
the husband and father. who should pro-
vide for and cherish his own. is led TO
spend all his meagre earnings i'm dram
shops. and gives his family only abuse,
leaving them to struggle on as best they
can. IL Is, again, time to stop and think.
License Of the evil OF strong drink prop
agatcs the love Of IL and its results may
be seen by those who have eyes to see. 1t
is true IL We have no license there will be
many who will still have their liquor
but they will not be assailed by tempta-
ton every time they pass up and down
our Main street. Let every voter ask
himself If he wishes this irresistible
temptation to be kept before his sons. the
sons of his neighbors and before those
weak ones who cannot resist temptation.
Let him also remember that II is a tre-
mendous responsibility to place tempta-
tion before those who cannot resist and
every voter is personally responsible for
his vote. A. T.. WELLS.

STREET RAILROAD WANTS HELP.
Asks Town to Rebate a Bill Of st95 In
CURED When Main Street Bridge Was
Built.

Many people have asked as to the
meaning Of the article in the warrant for
next Tuesdays town meeting which reads:
''To see if the town wifi rebate to the
street railroad company the bill which 1t
holds against the company for rails used
in the Main-s1reet bridge" When the
bridge was built upwards of six years
ago, the town bought the rails which
came all fitted, and paid for the concrete
In which they were laid and for the work
OF putting them in. This came to s2O5
which was charged against the railroad
company. The railroad companys con-
tract with the town requires that the com
pany shall maintain the highway between
the rails and for two feet on each side
in the same condition as the rest of the
highway Under that contract the town
might have charged the railroad com
pany about half the cost Of the vitrifed
brick used in the bridge. but no charge
was made During the latter part of the
last year the company paid $40 on the
bill for rails. at the request of the select
men that they pay something so that the
bill would not become outlawed. This
leaves $l95 due the town The railroad
company cites the poor circumstances Of
the road as a reason why the bill should
be rebatcd.

The argument that the expense for the
poor has been reduced in Brattleboro
under license is misleading. The lower
ing Of figures is not due to license but to
the large expenditures which have been
made from the Thompson fund for the
relief Of needy poor.
