LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Liquor Selling in Jewett City.

Mr. Editor: Will you permit me
space for brief reply to Citizens
remarkable effusion on Jewett City
and the liquor laws?
He seems to be infinitely more con-
cerned in vilifying individuals than
he does in logically advancing the
cause of temperance. Does he imagine
for one moment that if the people in
question were placed in durance vile
that the sale of intoxicants in Jewett
City would cease?
| hold no brief for liquor sellers, be
they town wardens or town BARRIERS,
but / fail to see that the failing of a
town warden and the Imprisonment OF
a town barber must necessarily cause
the town drunkard to seek refreshment
at the town pump.
Now Citizens allusion to the priest
hood seems to me altogether beside
the point, and is certainly an evidence
of bad taste.
If you sentence all the illegal liquor
sellers in sJewett City (and there are
more. Mr.. Citizen, the sale would still
go on.
You cannot make man temperate
by an act of congress. When there is
a demand there will also follow a
supply beautiful words butter no
parsnips" Four years of Jewett City
under no-licehse, and the beautiful
platitudes and pleasing promises vt
the temperance party have resulted in
utter farce
| venture To- assert that, instead Oh
advancing. the cause of temperance,
the present system, as exemplitied in
Jewett City, has been productive Of
the eVerse.9 III
One effect has been to cause people
to go elsewhere for drink, undoubted-
" But / fail to see any more tenn
perance in a man drinking in Norwich
than there is in his drinking in Jewett
City.
Can Citizen inform me as to the per-
centage of temperance converts four
years of no-license have produced?
He seems to imagine that temper
ance reform consists in putting some
one in Jail Well let me, in conclus.
ion, suggest (along the same lines(,
safe cure
If Citizen would enforce the law
by means of failing. let him Jail drink
ers and sellers. and. had almost add
ed, temperance cranks. too.
