PROHIBITION AND LOCAL
OPTION.
10 the Editor of the Registers

10 the Editor of the Register;
Inasmuch as the liquor interests are
supporting local option in Vermont,
thereby hoping to defeat prohibition, 1t
might intererest your readers to know
what they were saying about local option
in New Jersey last week where they
were working to defeat it as II was less
desirable than the wide-open license
law now prevalent in that State. lquote
from the Newark Sunday Call;
"The senate passed the local option
bill by the one necessary vote, - says
the Newark Sunday Call, "because
the members are elected by counties,
without regard to population, and are
mainly towards. The assembly,
representing popular opinion, was
against local option and will always
be, we trust and believe, Local OPP
ton is device, which !, vice, to
promote neighborhood discord and to
unload upon the next town the re-
sponsibilities which belong at home.
1t is used by agitators for their own
purposes and it is fatal to all the more
important issues Of government 1t is
a wicked and unjust attempt to use
prejudice and hatred for private
ambition and distract attention from
great purpose, Local option does not
mean temperance, nor legal prohi-
bition of the sale or use of liquor. 1t
means voting on one question of in
terest, to the exclusion or other ques-
tons, and to the eXataton of the
most offensive of all men, the local
agitator, filled with the drunkenness
of his own desire for notorety. Local
option is intemperance. Now, under
our State government it is possible to
legislate only for our State. If New
Jersey wants prohibition, New Jersey
can have it and should have it when the
majority, honestly counted, so desires. "
How carefully they watch all sources
for information and how skiliully they
use every item to win responsibility for
their business is shown by the fact that
they published as an "add' the morn
ing following his birthday, in New
Jersey papers, extracts from General
Washington will to show, | suppose,
that he had liquor in his possession,
forgetting evidently that the world
takes different view of the question
from what it did in 1893.
At the March meeting let US take the
view they express in the above eX
tract from the Newark Sunday Call
Local option is a device, which is a
vice, to promote neighborhood discord
and to unload upon the next town the
responsibilities which belong at home. "
With this clear definition of local option
by those who know before us, we should
take no chances but vote for straight
prohibition.

VOTE YES ON PERRY BILL.
ST. Johnsbury Californian,

We have purposely refrained from
discussion of the referendum on the
Perry bill until this time, not because
we have lacked convictions on the
matter but because there has been
much unsound argument on the ques-
ton. Speakers in the State iavoring
Statewide prohibition have made UNI
wise and in some instances we believe
untruthful statements and the advo-
Gates of local option have certainly
misrepresented Gov, c. W. Gates in
the matter. This is equally reprehen-
sible on both sides and we think an
unfortunate feature of the attempt to
educate the public on the subject,
Gov. Gates views on the highway
problems of the State or the attitude
of a senate committee towards an
amendment providing national pro-
hibition are not at issue in the vote on
the Perry bill in Vermont and should
not be imposed on the people at this
time.
The real issue is do you favor State
wide prohibition as proposed in the
Perry Bill or local option under the
present law. This question is before
every voter of the State and he will
answer it by his vote as he thinks
best.
We favor State wide prohibition be-
cause we believe majority of the
people favor prohibition in their own
and surrounding communities. The
claim for years for local option was
that a majority Of the voters desired
it and it was finally adopted by very
small majority of the vote cast on that
issue. That majority is the justifca-
ton of the local option law and
majority is just as strong a justifca-
ton of prohibtory law.
We favor it because Statewide pro-
hibition will more fully protect the
communities voting against the open
saloon than the present law. Anyone
who has Travelled on train coming out
of license city or town on Saturday
afternoon or evening must have noticed
that local option is not confined to the
town voting in favor of the saloon.
Liquor purchased in a licensed place to
be taken into no-licensed towns is in
evidence and enough cases of intoxca-
ton are seen to force the conclusion
that no license communities suffer the
worst effects of the saloon which under
the present law is beyond their control.
The no-license communities ahould have
better protection than the present local
option law gives them.
We favor the Perry Bill because
prohibition has proven the most eff
fective method of depressing the sale
of Intoxicating liquor. Business in all
its branches desires the prohibition of
the use of intoxicating liquors. Medical
science no longer.recognizes alcohol as a
necessity or even as a beneficial medica
agency. The moral spirit of the day
condemns the sale and use of intoxicat-
ing liquors. With these three power
full influences desiring prohibition it is
the duty of the State to give it in its
most effective form.
For these reasons we urge the voter
to vote yes on the Perry Bill and no on
the question of whether we shall have
license in our town.

The reason why many people do not
have sufficient money to pay their
debts or meet daily obligations when
they come due is because they do not
put anything away for the so-called
rainy day." They live from day to
day, either just within their income or
just little above it. They perhaps
pay as they go but they do not take
into consideration that they may have
sickness or death in the family or meet
with some misfortune that will prevent
them from earning money. Then they
get back and never seem able to get
ahead.

AN7I-SUFFRAGLST
ARGUMENTS PRESENTED
Plea to Continue Unhampered By the Ballot

mans that which she can do with
out the ballot. Every person who
votes does one of two things-he
either studies his subject and
votes intelligently or pays little at
tention to the issues of the cam
paign, and votes thoughtlessly. l
campaigned through Ohio last year
with suffragist who assured her
audiences over and over again that
voting would require only fifteen
minutes. Are we going to increase
the number of fifteen minute vot-
ers or are we going to assume the
responsibility of the ballot? To ask
us to undertake this much extra
work is unfair to US.
"The suffragists are fond of
quoting that phrase of the consti-
tuition which they declare, classes
them with paupers and idiots.
There is another group, however,
from whom the ballot is withheld,
and with whom | am glad to class
myself. In fourteen or seventeen
states of the nation the members
of the army and navy are disfran-
chised-not because they are in
capable of voting, but because the
country believes they are doing
another work that is just as inn
portant as any voter can do.
They can work more unfettered,
less pampered, than if entangled
with a vote.
"The anti-suffragists ask that
we continue in society the same
division of labor that has made us
a success in industry and COM
merce. We believe woman is thus
freer, less pampered. When we
multiply woman's duties we be-
come wasteful and inefficient-we
fail to conserve that physical
strengt h which is the only
material we have on earth to work
with. 1t seems to us a wicked ex-
travagance. We ask that we be
allowed to continue to do the
worlds work where we can most
efficiently, and we ask that Della
ware does not pamper us with the
ballot"
