A town of 10000 inhabitants can
live without excellent art Of any kind,
as forty or fifty such in the United

town live and flourish without the sale
of strong drink? This Is the question
that Worcester has been trying to

most attention lies in the fact that
she is the largest dry town on earth.

When the dry law went into effect
the sale of liquor was in theory dis

the breweries went on making beer
to be sold to the outside world, and
eight druggists were licensed to sell
strong drink for medicinal purposes,

After six months trial of local pro.

the town has been pretty close to GO
ing dry at times. The vets had 1t
three or four years ago by a majority
OF only about 100. Then they won by
nearly a thousand, and so it fluctuated
until the town went dry.
The possibility that a narrow ma.
iority vote may put the liquor dealers
out of business at any time has tended
perhaps to throw the control OF retail
liquor selling in Massachusetts towns
into the hands of the brewers, Few
men of small capital could risk the
possibility of being driven out of bust
