LICENSE E.

The result of the vote on license was less surprising than the same result would have been last year, and there is no lack of reasons advanced, to account for the towns return to the "wet" col umn. MT. I-told- d-you-so hastens to come forward with the reminder that he fore saw and foretold the ''fop" and gave advance reasons for the faith that was in him the temperance people made no aggressive campaign, he says; the law was not enforced against illegal liquor sellers under, No License forty-two places, by actual count, sold intoxicants in violation of law, without molestation; business interests. in various lines, have suffered by reason of former out-of- town trade going to places where license was in force; while there may have been less drunkenness in the streets of the business center, the foreign colonies have been the scenes of perpetual de- bauchery, and the respectable dwellers in the outlying neighborhoods have been in constant fear for their lives and their property, etc. Nor is this knowing au- thority at loss to explain how and by whom the vote of last year was reversed last Monday-it was done by the dis gusted dwellers in the outlying neighbor- hoods as means of relieving the con- gestion of drunks in those sections and forcing share of it upon the central portion again, it was done from mo- tives of political spite rather than from the conviction that License is desirable thing for the community-and so on.
 Whatever the cause, or whatever the motive that worked the "fop" from dry to wet, the town has voted to license the sale of liquor. That vote is the ex- pression of the will of majority of the town s voters, and the majority's will is law. The minority may, perhaps more or less proftably ask whether in any de- gree the failure to rigidly enforce the No License law contributed to the result of last Monday, as insinuated 1; and they may find in such research grace to rec oncile them to the new condition, espe- cially in view of the fact that the license law carries with it the restrictive clauses which are designed to regulate and con- trol the traffic, and which, if honestly observed, or rigidly enforced, are calcu- lated to make License, as the choice of two evils, a better temperance agency than No License with dead-letter restric- tions that amount to free and unre- stricted license.
 The voting of License has not neces- sar1ly robbed the temperance workers of their avocation. It will not drive the reputed forty-two illegal places" out of business. And if the coming order of things scatters drunks aboU the viii

Gan Any News Reader Explain ?

To the Editor of The News
 A good many years ago was working ill a marble quarry for the American Marble & Lime company of Falls Village in South Canaan. We used to get out very large blocks from the ledge and then roll them into the bottom of the quarry, where we would cut them up to the size and dimensions desired. One day we cut large block in two parts i; it was 20 feet long and four feet through either way.
 In the center of this block of marble was small cavity about as large as the hollow of mans hand, and in that spot or hole, was live frog that just fitted the place It was of light cream color {; the marble in this quarry had different shades of color, such as light blue, dark blue cream, etc. The frog was all right, but it had very sleepy or Rip Van Wrinkle sort of look about it.
 There ensued a great deal of argument among us men as to how the frog came to be Tn the marble but none of us could agree. The superintendent, Dr. Charles Maltbie of Falls village, was there that day, and putting the frog in glass jar carried it home fot curiosity. but it only lived short time. There was con- siderable talk about this by the people in the vicinity, but none could agree.
 I have theory for%his but wish to hear from some reader of this paper. Now, readers of The News, put on yonr thinking caps and explain this strange happening of nature. This is absolute truth and could be verified. Twill give you my theory for this at some future time. Respectfully yours. !

President Faunce, of Brown, who knows whereof he speaks, joins in the testimony of college officials in giving our colleges a good character and hitting the muck rakers who ridiculously assert and eXClaim that vice is rampant among college students.

The slight changes of the Australian
 ballot, which were designed to "sim- plify' it, seemed to have had the oppo- site effect. judging from the vote here. Last year, before the ballot was "sim- plifed," only twenty-five ballots were thrown out as improperly voted. Last
 Monday forty three were discarded as being invalidated by improper marking, through misunderstanding or pure ignor- ance. Thus, practically ten per cent. of the voters disfranchised themselues be- cause they didn't know any better. If the legislature simplifes the ballot much more, Canaan will be under the necessity of establishing night school, with a special Australian course.

lage streets, there are laws abundant for their suppression as nuisance and a menace to the peace and welfare of the community, and for the correction of any licensed dealer who, after being warned, sells liquor to the habitual drunkard. The secret of order and de- cency rests in the enforcement of the law. And the degree to which the laws are enforced or disregarded in commu- nifty is an index to the tone of public
 sentiment in that community.

Judge Tyner, in the New Haven police court, rendered an interesting decision the other day, which established a pre- cedent for this rule-that if saloon keeper sells man liquor and gets him intoxicated and the man smashes up the saloonkeeper's goods and chattels, the saloonkeeper is alone responsible for his acts, not the man.

The suggestion has been made-and The News is inclined to endorse lt-that the license system, which has been so generally applied right and left, to in- dividuals in all avenues of endeavor, be applied to the liquor drinker. Every barber must have license to shave en- gineers must have @ license, and we have licensed chauffeurs, licensed hucksters, licensed dentists, and licensed this and that. The hunter must take out a i- cense to shoot, and the bridegroom must be licensed to marry. The plan referred to, is to make every liquor drinker take out license and require the bar-keeper to make him produce it whenever he orders drink. There may be gradu- ated system of licenses-a pink license for the new beginner or moderate drink CT; a blue license for the periodical drunkard green license for the old soak, etc. But these are a secondary de- tail, which may be elaborated-if the plan comments itself for general adop- tion.

TWO POsTOFF|CEs
EXPECTED To END
FIGHT IN kEARNY
Town to Be Divided Into Postal
Districts, According to
Congressman Kinkead.

The Arlington postoffice question,
which has kept the residents of the
upper end of Kearny in more or less
of a ferment for the last couple of
months. has at last been settled, ac-
cording to a telegram received by
AdoIph Amann, president of the Ar
lington Board of Trade, from Congress-
man Eugene c. Kinkead, now in Wash
ington. The message states that the
congressman has been informed by
the postmaster-general that on AMI
af.er July l Kearny will be divided
into two postal districts, the upper to
be known as Arlington and the lower as
Kearny. Branches of the Newark
postoffiee will be established in both
places, and incidentally the Arlington
postof1ice as a separate institution will
be abolished.
This means the retirement of Post
master James Freeman f:om the Fed
eral berth which he has held for y
score of years and the replacing of thu
postmaster with a superintendent Vt
a branch office to be under the control
of Postmaster James l.. Hays. Lower
Kearny is to be appeased with a sta
ton at which letters can be given a
cancellation stamp. but only the Ar
lington station is likely to have car
riers, it being probable that the pres
ent force will be retained. Neither Ar
lington nor Newark has yet been off
cially notified of the change, but an
order is expected shortly from the Fed 8.
eral department confirming the ad.
vance information impaired by Mr..
Kinkead.

BOROUGH WANTS
To GET GUN FROM
|LL-FATED MAINE

In an endeavor to secure one Of the
guns from the Inflated hattleship
Maine for the new West Hudson park
the Borough Council of East Newark
last night passed a resolution calling
upon Congressman Eugene F. Kfnkead
and the Hudson County Park Commits
sion to use their efforts with the war
department in an attempt to have a
gun consigned to West Hudson.
Members of the council referred to
the fact that n of the victims Of the
Havana harbor disaster of '9S was an
East Newarker, Frederick T. Butler, a
sailor. Butler was % years old when
he met his death and was well known
in East Newark.
A picture of the dead sailor appears
in the municipal building with a slab
giving the date of the explosion and
a few other facts concerning his life.
East Newark will likely have h as
sistance of Harrison and Kearny OFF,
cials In the attempt to get the gun. IL
is understood that Congressman Kin
kead will do all in his power to help
secure the gun.
The Council awarded the contract for
streets to John j. Marley, who at pres
ent is doing the work. Manley will
meet the street committee next
Wednesday night, when the contract
will be signed and he given specific or
ders concerning the in which
his work must be done. Manley's fig
ure for the work was 81 ,670, which Is
$3.50 lower than the text nearest bidder.
