VERMONT'S ELECTION
No-License People Reduce Number of Saloon
Towns to Lowest Point Ever Reached

spondence) -Vermont's recent election upon the
license question has been the subject of consider
able Misrepresentation in the press dispatches
which have been published in various parts of the
country the impression being given that the
election was an overwhelming defeat for the mo-
license forces and great victory for license.
study of the election returns shows nothing of the
sort.
Only twenty-seven of Vermonts towns this year
voted license This is the smallest number voting
license in any year since the Prohibition law was
repealed and the local option law adopted. Three
counties are wholly "dry," Caledonia, Orleans
and Windsor, while Grand Isle, Lamoille and
Washington have only one license town each. In
Grand Isle this license town is the little Isle La
Motto which, with seventy-nne votes, has a ma
jorty of fifteen for license. In Lamoile county
the town of Stowe has maj ority of sixteen for
license, while in Washington county the license
town of Middlesex carried by majority of Six
The change of only twenty-one would have made
six of Vermonts fourteen counties solid no
license
The few crumbs of comfort that the liquor men
get center mostly around the city of Burlington,
which this year was carried for license. Last
year Burlington was considered so hopeless by
the temperance people that the Anti-Saloon League
announced that it should do no work there. To
the surprise of everyone, however, Burlington
went "dry." This year Burlington and the sur
rounding territory won back by the liquor
interests and by large enough majority to make
Chittenden county show majority for license,
thus giving Vermont one county having license
majority, while every county had a no-license-
majority last year.
The total vote of the state three percent in
excess of last years vote while the license vote
increased only three tenths of one percent There
were 47,O47 votes cast, of which 2S,O64 were for
no-license and 19OO1 for license, making ma
jority of 9,O45 for no-license in the whole state.
This is specially instructive when it is remen-
bered that the referendum vote on February 3,
19O3 which in effect adopted the local option Ii
of only 729 In the first direct license and no.
license vote in 1908, license had majority of
5,315, and ninety-six towns voted for license In
1904 forty towns voted for license and the
license ma jority in the whole state was 6,827 In
1905 only thirty-four towns voted for license and
the no-license ma ority was 5000. In 1906 twenty
nine towns voted for license but the no-license
majority almost 5000. In 1907 the no-license
ma ority in the whole state was $500, though
thirty-three towns voted for license
From this summary it will be seen that the no
license people have nothing to be discouraged
about in the result of this years election, however
unsatisfactory the local option system, in itself
considered, may be-

ton system was never better illustrated than in

And what does the money go for?
A little to keep alive the saloonkeeper, the &C
tive agent of the traffic, without which 1t could
not flourish; little for hush money for the
police and for his honor the mayor, and for the
politicians of high and low degree; little for
revenue TO salve the public conscience and keep
the votes of the moral people flowing in the right
direction the most of it to make rich the greed
lest, most ruthless tyrants who ever ruled and
cursed any people, the "robber barons' of the
brewery and the still-house.
They build with it their palaces; they pander
to their vicious habits with it, and they shoot
down the streets in their big automobiles, past
the homes where want and sorrow and shame
throng. secure in the knowledge that the law OF
the land empowers them to take tribute from
these homes that their lives may be lives OF ease
and pleasure their pockets always filled and their
tables always groaning
And the people get for it all, nothing but the
hunger and the want and the sorrow and the
shame and the sin and the death. Theirs but to
paw and toll and bear the burden and bend them
selves under the yoke of the brewer and the dis
tiller.
Go look from your church tower over your
city or over some fair sweep of pleasant land and
see (You can see it if your eyes are open to
something more than material facts) the black
hand of the traffic swoop down upon the homes
of the people in such robbery as the world never
saw before.
What does it mean that from every American
home an average of $140.45 is stolen every year!
It means much to the home and much, as WE'LL
to those who have dealings with the people who
live in the home
The average expenditure of American families
for Intoxicating posons would settle the whole
housing problem Shut the saloon and the av-
erage American family has more than $40 every
month to provide for itself an adequately comfort
able and decent place of living. That wipes out
the "slums" of all our great cities at a stroke.
Or in those homes where change OF dwelling
place is not needed or where comfortable dwell
ings can be provided with less than the expen-
diture of all this money it means new furniture,
new articles of comfort and convenience about
the house, a stove, sewing machine, rock
ine chairs comfortable beds-the thousand and
one things that make the difference between the
comfortable home and the miserable staying place.
But not all of the money stolen from the aver
age family would need to be expended in this
way Some of it would go for food In some
homes perhaps, all OF it would go to improve the
family fare to provide meat more frequently, to
put now and then chicken upon the table, 10
give the children taste of fruit and to bring,
once in a while, into the home a delicacy for
some poor appetite of an invalid or convale-
scent.
