OTHER VIEW POINTS

some OF the most thoughtful men
of Connecticut doubt that an at
tempted prohibition Of the liquor bus-
mess throughout the state would oper-
ate effectively for temperance, and a
great many are opposed to such an
outcome Very we'll. let them get busy
with means to make effective the law
as il stands. and remove protection
from thasc who break il. For as sure
as they don't take such action soon,
there will be n public revulsion that
will bring an attempt 1t prohiDition.-l
New Haven Register.
It would be reEretable IL the state
departed from its present policy OF
opposition 10 special exemptions
There should be no recognition OF the
trivial reasons which, in former times,
were sufficient TO secure the sympathy
Of the legislature. Special privileges
should have no place in the legislative
policy of n democracy. They are not
in harmony with equality Of rights for
which the democratic idea OF govern
ment stands above everything else
Exemption from taxation, except as II
is allowed under the general law,
comes under the head OF special priv
ileges and as such II is objectionable.

Bristol has happily escaped some al
the usual evils of rapid growth. she
has not developed n slum district and
her public buildings have followed APP
