FIRST LIQUOR DECISION.

The Intelligencer advises a careful
consideration OF the decision OF the
Supreme Court, rendered yesterday.

against the Country Club OF Charles

sion that IL opens n loopbole for an
evasion OF the prohibition law. II
merely defines the rights OF the indi-
vfduai. and In nowise abates any OF
the drastic features OF the measure.
The construction OF the court only
makes them palmer. Careless readers
will be inclined 70 take a more liberal
view OF the matter. and may get inc
trouble II they attempt TO put their
own understanding TO the test. The
Supreme Court docs not enlarge the
rights OF the club member. but con

arose out OF the action OF the Charles.

FIRE ESCAPES.

| The imposing of fine on two men III
Orange county court for failure to equip
hotel suitably with fire escapes is a
! mournful reminder of the recent tragic
fire at Lake Morey, the summer resort
on the eastern border of the state. 1t is
likely that there was no criminal intent
in the neglect to attach such fire escapes
to the building, which was destroyed by
fire, but the men simply were lax in not
doing what appeared later to have been
their duty, the danger of fire having
appeared so remote as to make need for
the equipment seem unnecessary. More-
over, the building which was destroyed
was not high structure, as hotels are
gagged nowadays, making the precaution
appear all the more unnecessary, per-
haps. However. events proved the fall
lacy of the reasoning and proved also
the wisdom of the Lawmakers who en-
acted a statute requiring that hotels be
equipped with fire escapes. That result
in and Of itself ought to have warned
every other hotel owner in Vermont; but
If it did not furnish that warning suffi-
cient to make them act, then the action
of the court in imposing heavy fines on
the hotel men in this instance win prove
strong reminder Of the need. There
should never be repetition Of the Lake
Morey tragedy under like conditions.
