LOCAL OPTION
Or State Regulation. What is the
Difference.

Or State Regulation. What is the
Difference.
There seems to be a misunderstood
ing in the minds of many men as TO
the real difference between Local
option and State Regulation of the
liquor traffic Some men think that
No Vote in Bennington would
mean a return to a condition which
Bennington revolted from by vote
1886 to 1854.
Local Option in Vermont means
that the township or incorporated city
shall itself decide whether it wishes
to license the sale of intoxicating liz
uor or prohibit it, State Prohibition
or State License means that the state
takes the matter out of the hands OF
the given locality and forces the To-
cality to license or no-license regard
less of the wish of said locality
In New York state cities there Is no
local option. If you have the price of
the excise fee and can get building,
you get the license, The state forces
license on many communities against
their will and the state has to do the
prosecuting of violations of the law
In Vermont the town or city decides
for itself and naturally assumes the
responsibility for the enforcement Of
the law Local option means Local
Enforcement" If the people vote
yes their local officers will see that
yes law Is fairly obeyed II the
people vote no their local officers
understand that the PEOPLE want
the sale of liquor PROHIBITED for

The writer of this article spent a
part of January 1909 in the city Of

first place the court house is for the
benefit and use of all the citizens of
Bennington County, and OF necessity,
must be located in one of its towns;
furthermore it is not unfair that it
should be located at Bennington, the
largest town in the county and the
one furnishing by far the most bust
ness in court and paying almost one
half Of the county tax, so It is evident
that Bennington at least is willing
and expects to do its share.
Another argument advanced, which
is as senseless as the rest is that we
do not need a new equipment that
the one which we have is good
enough The most casual examina-
ton will show the fallacy of this
statement The Offices of the Pro
bate Court and County Clerk are
dingy holes, and lily ventilated and
lighted The jail is not a fit place in
which to confne human being, the
quarters in which women are placed
reminds one of the Spanish lnquisi-
ton. The rooms occupied by the
TAILOR and his family are not much
better than the jail itself The court
room is nothing more or less than a
large barn, devoid of any conveh-
fence. No judges room, no room for
witnesses, no jury room, and in
many cases Justice is not secured ow-
ing to the very fact that the iurymen
are placed in such quarters that they
will decide against their own iudg-
ment rather than to remain longer
under the circumstances in which
they find themselves placed, and 50
II seems to me that in view of the
above that from the standpoint OF
business, of local and county pride,
and in the interest of humanity and
Justice no man can conscientiously
vote against the bill providing for the
erection of a new Jail and court
house, and that one who does vote in
the negative is guided solely by
petty jealousies or selfishness.

You Want to
Make Money.

Mining, conducted inteligently
shows even better returns for the
money invested than stocks in
railways, banks, mortgages or real
estate. The one essential thing to
be determined, is ii a wild cat
scheme or one of merit, the Mag
nolia is not the former-but is the
latter. We have taken all the
chances and proven we have a
great money maker, but not po-
sessing sufficient capital to devel-
ope it, we have decided to incor-
porate and give our friends a
chance TO make some money with
us. We have placed a block of
stock on the market, consisting of
$4,000 shares to be sold at 10 cents
per share. This amount will be
used in developing the mine.
No more stock will be sold at
at this price. We feel confident
that a little money invested in this
stock will, in a short time, be sure
to return far greater returns than
you can hope for from other in
vestment. The possibilities are
unlimited. This is an opportunity
that seldom comes to a person.
already 10000 shares have been
subscribed for by Saratoga bust
ness men, and it is our desire to
sell all of this block of stock here
if possible and have a home COM
pany. This stock will be sold on
easy payments, so get in on the
ground floor while it is cheap.
One remarkable thing about the
Magnolia mine is, you have never
heard a man knock it. The reason
is, the showing is so good they
can't. Any information you de-
sire will be cheerfully and truth
fully given by either

The Future OF the Saratoga Valley

There are several indications that
the town of Saratoga and the whole
Saratoga valley will come to tine front
in a short time now. While some
of our ditch enterprises have fallen
thru there are other companies ready
to take their places and push the work
of building bitches and retaining
the land to a finish.
There are many things a newspaper
man cannot tell, even tho he would
like to do so very much. To do so
would handicap enterprises some
what, and if they eventually mature
then no harm is done by keeping
silent The Sun is in possession of
Information, concerning the plans
and purposes of sereral large enter
prlses, that would make most excel
lent reading and the best part of it is
that these enterprises mean much to
the town OF Saratoga. If they 90
thru, and it is more than probable
that they will, Saratoga will soon be
come II city of Importance, and the
valley on either side will all be placed
under irrigation. Situated as Sara
toga Is, right in the midst of this
large tract OF irrigable land, there is
nothing that can prevent her from
doubling her population inside of the
next Two OF ihree years.
This valley presents the most feas.
able Proposi ION for homes of any
place in the west, and it will only be
a short time until monied men will
be falling all over each other to get
