PROHIBITION IN VERMONT.
Everywhere the traffic has been driven behind closed doors. No signs of liquor for sale or arrays of whisky bottles in the windows have tempted the man who was endeavouring to control his appetite. The person who want-ed liquor lias had to go in hearch of it. It has not been offered to him unsought. Moreover, -when told that it was a foolish law, the Vermonters have looked outside their State to see how license laws were working elsewhere. They have noted moie evidences of prevailing intemperance iv Staled and cities having license laws than in Vermont,. They have eceu that, high-license
laws are elsewhere as extensively violated as the prohibitory law is here. Influenced by such practical considerations, as well as to a large extent by principle, the people of Vermont have sustained the law; no attempt to repeal or weaken it having come within Mauser rifle shot of succeeding.—Burlington Free Press.
