Now that the issue has been settled
so deeisively that there is little chance
OF its receiving serious consideration
again during the next decade The Med

any difference of opinion. Let it be
cause for rejoicing that the state has

and let everyone accept the RESPONSE
bllity which the law places upon him.
II this attitude is generally adopted
the few sore spots which the campaign
may have left will soon heal. and if
six months from now some outsider
asks If we recently had a sauabble on
the liquor question the answer will be.

80 far as the vote in BrattIeboro i
concerned the result was a foregone
conclusion, although it is doubtless true
that the local option cause gained To-
ward the last through the refusal of
those interested in it to allow its add
voeacy by imported spellbinders. 1t
may also be said, with no intention of
questioning the motives of an zone. that
the prohibition cause lost because of
the outside talent it employed-not be-
cause these speakers were not sincere
men but because their appearance in
the campaign led to the belief that
Nermonters were looked upon as in
competent to settle their own affairs
OF course, no sensible man 'sfell'' for
the absurd claim that Vermont should
vote state prohibition because of its
effect on the rest of the country, with
out regard to the effect of such n
change on the state itself. Buneombe
OF this sort ceased to be negotiable
about the time Vermont relinquished
the imaginary post Of political wealth

VI course, 1t is needless for The Med
der to say that he was greatly pleased
with the result of Tuesdays referen-
DUN ON the Perry bill. Regular readers
OF TINS column have probably arrived
at such a conclusion. He might add.
however, that he was as much surprised
at the size of the majority as he was
pleased at the outcome. He had hoped
and toward the last expected local
option victory, but if anyone had ven
tured the opinion that If. would come
ABOUT by margin of more than To-
ooo even, he would have prescribed for
the prophet a course of treatment in
some convenient sanitarium. There
must have been an extremely rapid
crystahzation of sentiment against the
ferry bill in the last week or two of
the campaign which preceded Tuesday s
vote. A month ago it was difficult to
hnd anyone who had a definite opinion
as to what would happen to the meas
ure. What inquiries The Meddler made
ABOUT the state at the time led him to
rear ITS passage, but last week he be-
came conscious of a feeling that the
local option cause was on the as
cendant. At first he attributed this
feeling to imagination, but when he
discovered that nine out of every ten
men with whom he talked on the sub
Ject had the same view he knew that
II indicated something. That some.
thing took place Tuesday.

The following notice concerning
the visit of Jack Beall to Washing

Dallas News, and is reproduced for
the interests of the Bealls' friends
in Waxahachie:
Jack Beall, the well-known Dali
las attorney and former congress
man from the Dallas district, spent
Tuesday in Washington, en- route
home from New York. Mr.. Beall
was the guest of Senator Ollie James
of Kentucky and Mrs. James at
breakfast, at which few close
friends gathered, and later was en-
tertained by Speaker Clark at lun-
cheon at the capitol This was Mr..
Beall's first return TO Washington
since his retirement and always a
popular member. he was most glad
somely welcomed by a legion Of
friends in the house But his visit
was of special interest. since he gave
as among the possibilities a visit OF
Mrs. Beall to Washington little
later in the spring. Though two
years have elapsed since Mrs. Beall
left Washington, she is still affec-
tionately spoken of wherever those
who knew her gather, for Pat Beall
as she is warmly remembered by
those fortunate in knowing her in
timately, was one of the most pop
ular women in Washington
