Local Option inconsistencies.

The Orleans County Monitor raises
a far-reaching question in an article
produced elsewhere when it asks what
right the state has to say to town
that it shall not drink impure water
and shall not pollute water that is to
be used for potable purposes and at
the same time to legalize the sale of
Intoxicating drink that in many re-
spects is infinitely worse than impure
water.
Some people take the ground that
nobody should be allowed to sell in
toxicating liquor as beverage. Others
insist that there should be no more re-
striction on the number of liquor sa-
looms than on the number of drug
stores which sell cocaine and other
things in this line, the use of which
may become a dreaded habit with peo-
pie.
No one who has studied the liquor
question or has noted the extent to
which the control of the liquor traffic
in Intoxicating liquor is being made
conspicuous in the political conven-
tionS and platforms of the great politi-
cal parties IN numerous states this
year needs to be told that this whole
problem of dealing with the sale of
drugs and liquors for habitual use es-
pecially remains to be satisfactorily
/ solved.

the purchase of site for a memorial
building to the soldiers and sailors of
the Civil war. The building will be

Automobile Craze Dying.

The demand for automobiles is said
to be decreasing and it won't be neces-
sary to place orders months ahead in
order to get machines next spring.
One company whose business it is to
furnish castings for automobiles has
reduced its force of men from 1000 to
4OO men, while in other shops en-
gagged in making materials for anto-
mobiles, a curtailment in production
is noted. Considering the great de-
mand for these machines during the
past few years. it must be that about
everybody who can scrape up enough
cash for an automobile has done SO.
Thousands of people have bought ma
chlnes because everybody else seemed
to buy them. but on account of the
great expense that follows the owner
ship of one of these motors, it is ar
gued that present automobile users
will drop from the ranks after the
novelty wears off. Motors for bust
ness purposes will be called for more
