vermon.,s LIauor az q FsIIure.

The Randolph Herald and News Of last
week contained q strong editorial ar
raienment of Vermont's present license
law, so far as the local option feature
thereof is concerned, and asks why YER
mont should not try state local option as
promising a remedy for existing evils.
After briefly reviewing the record Of
the law since its adoption six years ago
and pointing out that the normal level of
% wet towns, out Of total Of 246, seems
to be reached, the contemporary answers
the question, whether we are handling
the problem in the best possible way, en-
phatieally in the negative as follows:-
The Standard quotes thus fully from
the Randolph contemporary, because il is
an able exposition OF the fatal weakness
OF the very foundation of the present stat
ute, the local option feature, and the
failure OF local option to live up to its
name and contine the sale OF liquor to the
limits OF the towns voting therefor.
1t is unnecessary to say that the Stand
ard agrees fdlly with the views above
quoted, for the arguments presented by
the Herald and News are practically iden-
ticsl with those repeatedly expressed by
this paper in advocating the adoption OF
the county option measure by the legisla-
ture last fall.
The Herald and News does not favor
county option, and while the Standard
still believes that a county option meas
ure would prove efficscious and satisfac-
tory, the advocates OF that idea will Ger.
tainly be willing to merge that PROPOSE
ton with the more comprehensive plan,
state-local option, advanced by the Ran
dolph contemporary.
In actual operation at the present time
in this state, law that is not wanted by
/ four-hfths OF Vermont, is maintained tc
enable Burlington, st. Adams, Benning.
ten and occasionally Rutland, to enjoy
the license system, and give sundry other
smaller places the opportunity to main.
! tain nuisances to the injury Of theil
neighbors, who are greatly in the MAORI
+ ty but are powerIess to protect them
selves.
] Such conditions are unbearable and
will not long be tolerated. The system
under which such manifest and admitted
evils exist will have to give way to the
county option system, or better still. t.
the state option plan. -Enosburg Stand

Ing to suit the Governor in Alabama.
Mr.. Mallory. II 10 an open secret. was
not the Governors first choice ~ \
successor. But the strength that Mr..
Mallory developed In Alabama WAS
something remarkable. 1t was con-
cedea that unless change was made.
Mr.. Mallory would have been handily
nominated.
While Mr.. Mallory had been CON-
slstent prohibitionist. this situation
was not to the liking OF the political
prohibitiouists who had their eyes on
the higher ONCE. The Anti-Saloou
League, the most powerful politiesl
machine Alabama has ever known. was
more than willing for an extra ses.
sion. because It wanted some more
legislation. A great many Of the lead
ars of the minor and second degree In
the Legislature favored Mr.. Mallory.
But 1t was said that one or two Of
tine powerful forces in the league
would lend their aid to putting out
another candidate who had rendered
them special service and who had been
hand and glove with them in their
various. legislative fights. But two

But some new issues were needed.

plunged into another bitter prohibi-
tion fight there would be an issue
ready made. So the extra session was
called, the Governor and Rev. Brooks
Lawrence Joined hands.
The boom for Speaker Carmichael
arrived on schedule time The new
issue would eliminate Mr.. Mallory. ac-
cording to some speculations. The
State would be thrown into the throes

Now the opponents OF constitutional
