Barings Banks Deposits tnder Local Option Hare Grown In t lean as Fast as They Did in iO Tears of State Prohibition. 8TATE.WIDE PROHIBITION DATS WERE DATS OF x HTPOCRIST, DECEIT, LAW EVASION. PERJCRT, BLACKMAIL (This article Is from the pen ot Mr. Charles T. Fair field, Rutland, Vt, and was written at the suggestion ot his brother, Mr. E. M. Fairfield, Omaha). The dispatches from Lincoln dated October IS, sent broadcast over the country, stated that Charles Evans 'Hughes went to church in the Nebraska capital that da; a 'id heard a "temperance sermon" and that the preacher exhorted his congregation "not to forget while voting for Mr. Hughes to vote also for the prohibition amendment" . As a former Nebraskan, resident of Lincoln, I regret that "temperance" and "prohibition" statutes should be so ' confused. They 'are absolutely different The refusal of some good people to recognize the difference is amazing. - Vermont had state-wide prohibition for fifty years, but It never had ID all that half-century the temperance it has had In the past thirteen years since it has had local option on the liquor selling question, which simply means . prohibition If the sentiment of the community favore pro- . hibltion, and license if the sentiment of the communtly favors the sale of liquors under regulation. Until the writer saw how local option by towns and . cities operated in Vermont he thought state prohibition the most effective method of solving the world-old prob lem of real temperance. But he has beoome oonvinoed ; that local option is the MOST PRACTICAL"' TEMPERANCE J YES, PROHIBITION METHOD, AND THE GREAT MA JORITY OF VERMONTERS HAVE THE SAME CONVIC- . . TION, In this they are in accord with the well known convictions of ex-President Talt, Cardinal Gibbons and thousands ot other statesmen and clergymen who have been close students of the subject. It is no narrow or provincial view of the subject that the writer takes be cause besides his knowledge of and pride in the splendid ' achievements of Nebraska since he first knew the state in - 1876 he has had first-hand knowledge of the operation of liquor selling restrictive measures In Michigan and Massachusetts, both local option states, through a news paper publishing experience in those states of twenty years. That much for introduction and preface. . VERMONT'S REPUDIATIONS OF PROHIBITION ' Now for Vermont, a pioneer prohibition state, and its repudiation of prohibition, Us adoption of local option and after twelve years its reaffirmation of local option by a majority fifteen times larger than that by which it was adopted. Here are some facts that ought to appeal to an Intelligent electorate like that of Nebraska, composed In such large part of New England stock. In 1899, when Vermont had state prohibition, the United States government fesued 808 licenses to sell liquor , in the state, besides which cases were being constantly un covered of Illegal sellers who had not even paid the fed eral tax. v In 1915, under local option, the federal government issued only 286 liquor, licenses in Vermont Temperance people were in no doubt of what they , preferred 808 places, and mure, where liquor was sold : .. In defiance of the law, or 286 places where it was sold under strict regulation and police restraint So they . voted last March, when the state prohibition law was re , ' , submitted to them, to retain the local option law. 'They j voted for it by a majority of 14,000 in a total vote of less . . t; than 61,000. ... ,; ""' Vermonters adopted In 1903 local option by a ma jority of lesa than a thousand, so their 1916 reaffirmation, after thirteen years' trial, of local option was by a ma- " Jority fifteen times larger than that by which It waa ' " .; adopted. They did not want to return to the days of all - forma of law evasion, scandalous bribe-taking by sheriffs, and general laxity that prevailed under state prohibition ' - In the communities where the sentiment did not back up prohibition. VERMONT'S GREAT PROSPERITY UNDER LOCAL " . OPTION VERMONT HAS PROSPERED SINCE IT HAD LOCAL OPTION, IN 1908, AS SHE HAD NEVER DONE BEFORE. OF THE 346 UNITS (TOWNS AND CITIES). IN THE -8TATE ONLY 17 HAVE THE LICENSED SALOON ' TODAY. 1 ( Local option has been an effective temperance meas ure. The vast majority of Vermonters do not want the saloon, but they know that the way to reduce the num ber ot saloons is to let every community settle the ques tion, annually or at least at frequent intervals, according ' to. public sentiment knowing full well that you cannot stop liquor selling in a community that wants liquor sold. ' The slogan of the Vermont local-option campaign, culminating last March,, was: LET WELL ENOUGH .. ALONE! Why not? Liquor selling bad been yeaily reduced - so that it was permitted In only seventeen towns out ot 146 la the state. - SAVINGS DEPOSITS HAVE DOUBLED The savings banks deposits since 1903 have Increased from 863,000,000 to 1103,000,000. In other words, the 200, 000 savings bank depositors in this state in 1916 have drawing interest nearly twice as much money as they had thirteen years ago after a half-century of state pro hibition, or Indeed since savings banks were established. Why not say: LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE! ' " The value of property of all kinds, real estate, town and farm, manufacturing and financial, has increased more in the past thirteen years than It did in the fifty years of state prohibition with its hypocrisy, deceit, per jury, blackmail, when public opinion was dormant and 5 non-assertive. WHY NOT LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE! LOCAL OPTION EFFECTIVE TEMPERANCE MEASURE The local option system as a temperance measure la supported by the majority of Vermont's prominent clergymen, Judges, lawyers, doctors, manufacturers and business men. The vote of March; 1916, of 33,000 to 19,000 (a practically full vote for this commonwealth of 360 000 people) is ample proof ot the assertion that the bulk ot Vermont's men of conscience are for local option as against ' state prohibition. The fight for the retention of local option in this state was headed by James M. Tyler, former supreme Justice of Vermont LOCAL OPTION IS EFFECTIVE IN VERMONT! NO ONE GAINSAYS IT. ONE WHO DOES SO WOULD BQ . REGARDED AS HAVING A MENTAL SLANT. THE LAW IS RESPECTED BECAUSE ITS FOUNDATION STONE IS PUBLIC SENTIMENT. Vermont has done great things in this republic It baa pointed the way. It has furnished pioneers in many lines ot endeavor. In the revolutionary war its Green Mountain Boys turned the tide; in the civil war it fur nished more soldiers than any other state in the union in proportion to Its size; its admirals of the navy and gen erals of the army hare been heroic figures; tn statecraft, In the professions, In business, its men have taken the peaks. And probably all tor the same reason: THEY HAVE HAD THE COURAGE OF THEIR CONVICTIONS; they have discarded the shadow for the substance; they , ..c gotten at the thing itself rather than the name. -LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE" Then, why shouldn't Vermont say to Nebraska: LET .WELL ENOUGH ALONE. Nebraska has loomed large, and constantly larger, in the pasBlng of the last forty years. Nebraska has a repu . i tation of being more substantial than some of Its neigh bora, notably Kansas. Becauae Kansas has chased rain bows ot various kinds, thinking they looked like halos, . la no reason Nebraska should do it LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE! If Nebraska will refuse to chase shadows and its peo ple devote more attention to improving its highways, its real prosperity and Its real temperance and sobriety will ' be the better promoted.
