BRANFORD UNDER
NO-LICENSE LAW
( C.in 1 1 n u oil from First Page.)
I tnkd pnlns to have tho packages dis
guised. ; Thn remaining way In which liquor
Ib brought Into the town, by thn cnn
I sinners thriniHolvcs, opens a much
i linger question anil Is tho source of
! mui'li of tbo dissatisfaction which Is
I expressed wit h the working nf tbo law.
j That men do go out of Branfnrd to a
j greater or less extent, for alcohol Is ae-
knowledgod -by nearly everyone, but
there Is a large difference of opinion as
to how niueh of thl.s Is done.
Tho license district nearest to Tlran
ford Is that part of the town known as
Ptony Creek, and In tho other direc
tion New Ha.ven Is the nearest place to
obtain liquor, both within easy riding
distance by trolley. At this point ap
pears a great difference of opinion, one
party claiming (lint there Is no morn
than tho usual traflle In either direc
tion while the other claims that the
lain cars into thn town are filled with
men in all stages of Intoxication and
carrying various amounts of Intoxi
cants In bags and suit cnse.s. Both of
these statements are exaggerations. It
Is undoubtedly true that thero Is more
travel to Ptony Creek than usual nt
thl.s time of the year and that the late
cars from that place and New Haven
do bring back numbers of men who
have been to those two places for 11-
nii'ir. Thero aro hound to be men who
are. willing to go to quite a bit of Iron
hie to get their usual beverages and It
! is nretty certain that many of the
packages carried on those cars contain
liquor of one sort or another. In sup
j port of this, it Is known that the sn
i loons of Stony Creek are doing an un
! usually large business and that Uran-
i ford men are drinking there and buy
! ing Intoxicants for homo consumption.
Thl.s lends up to the statement of the
saloon men that tho bottle In the pock
et Is having o most demoralizing Influ
ence in the town. They base their
statements somewhat logically n thU
manner; that where a man would or
dlnarlly take a drink of beer, that li
quid Is too bulky to be easily transport
ed and fo they now drink whlrkey and
other more harmful liquors in its place
They further say that where a man
used to behave himself and drink a
small quantity In a saloon, he now
gathers with a few kindred spirits and
has a reirnlar debauch. Likewise that
a youth who Is Just beginning to drink
will now learn to drink the morn harm
ful beverages, cine man went so far
in expounding the evil effects of the
closed saloons as to say that If Fritz
Strohei had been nbln to secure his li
quor In 1 Iran ford be would not have
gonet. to Stony Creek nnd been killed
by the cars on his return.
The answer of the temperance peo
ple to these arguments Is that where
it. Is dilllctilt to obtain liquor there will
he much lejes of it used and conse
quently less temptation, especially to
young boys. While It. may be true
that some formerly light drinkers now
use morn harmful Intoxicants. It Is also
true that several formerly hard drink
er have lately entirely cease, l drink
ing. It is very hard (o say whether there
Is really less drhtiUenneis hero than
formerly, but. it can safely bo aald that
thero j !,-. open drunkenness nnd
rowdyism. Them Is certainly none In
the raloons, which was largely the
original cause of complaint, and so
what there Is on the streets Is proba
bly the largest part of what there Is
In the town, fif course, It is Impossi
ble to a-certain the extent of diink
i'U,' which is done privately, but the
no-license party would seem to be to a
certain extent backed by the facts In
their statement (hat the moral tone of
the town has Improved At the same
j lime the statements of some of thn
I leaders of the temperance movement

j result of tht-ir wishes rather than llm
I fruit of their calm, Impartial Judgment,
'particularly ns no town can be reform
ed and made over In a month.
An Impartial summary of the situa
tion, jewed from tho point of order
and morality, would have to grant
much to the arguments of both sides.
While It Is true that somn men have
stopped drinking, it Is also trim that
other drink morn viciously than be
fore the saloons wero closed. Hut on
the whole, Impartial spectators nren
that the tone of the town is better
than It was.
The point In which the situation
affects the people of Uranford most
vltnlly, except the radicals on tho
two sides, Is whether no-lleense Is
hurting the town In a business way.
Again on this point the extremes of
opinion inimt he discounted.
In the first place it may be snld
here that tho extra tax which lnifl re
cently been levied was not made
necessary by the loss of the lleenso
fees, but Ih for the purpose of build
ing a new schoolhouse at Short. J'teneh.
The. advocates of license claim that
the men who find that they must go
Into New Haven for their lluuor, also
make their purchases there, thus tak
ing much of the trade away from the
Bra ii ford merchants. Some of the
merchants, notably those who deal In
these commodities not generally class
ed as the necessaries of life, state that
this Is true and that tliera has been
an appreciable fulling off in their
trade, dining the Inst month. This
seems very probable, as a certain
number of men do go out. of town, es
pecially on pay day. for liquor, and
would naturally make their other pur
chases at thn sumo time. Then, too,
It Is claimed that some families have
begun to patronize New Haven gro
cers who will deliver liquors. One
of the local grocers confessed that
he had recently lost a few customers,

but would not assign this ns the rea
son. '
9 to whether any of the more
stapla tvado has been lout to the town,
some of the largest merchants slate
that their trade Is as large or larger
lima while there were saloons here.
Two or three of tins storekeepers say
thai, women whose accounts have long
been unpaid, have recently come In to
tlielr places of business and made
payments on their m mils, saying
that they had more money for the
household now that their husbands or
sons cannot so easily secure liquor,
l uu merchant emphatically denied
that any trade was being lost, to New
Haven, and tmld that on the contrary
certain families now have more tnuiiey
to spend. Another said that his busi
ness Is ns good as ever, and that his
customers now come In aober, It is
only fair to the license parly to state
that both of these, men are workers
for uo-llceui-.e and further that. a. store
keeper would be loth to confess Hint
be Is losing any trade, whatever tho
cause,
From a. business point of view, then,
It can be said t hat no-llecnse has had
little effect one way or the oilier;
and that what Influence It has enert
ed on the situation about, balances
for both sides. While Uranford has
undoubtedly lost some bunlnens, as has
been stated, and quite a bit of money
Is being spent outside which formerly
went. Into the local saloons, them Is
an almost equal amount averted from
liquor to household purchases and
certain old accounts are being paid
up.
Hoth the license and no-llcensn
parties, then, seem (o have morn or
less ground for their opinions of thn
working of tho new law. There Is
little doubt but that, ns In most other
similar rases, It works botli harm nnd
good, fiomo of thn hltterest oppon
ents of no-license say they woudl bo
willing to havn such a law In effect
did It cover a greater territory, but
that since It covers only one town,
near a larger license town, they ore
strongly opposed to It.
lloth parties also claim that they
will carry thn town In their way next
year, and that they will rae) have
many of the votes which were this
year cast for the other side, fio firm
Is this conviction among the saloon
men (hat they are keeping (heir places
open, eking out a scant profit, from
clears and soft drinks, rin the other
hand, Itev. jir. Devltt, (he chief ex
ponent nf no-license, says that bis
party had thn votes of a number of
drinking men this year, and when thn
good effects nf the law are seen, they
will havn morn next time. Mut the
general opinion, even among thn no
license men, seems to bn that Uran
ford will go for license next year, but
that the number of saloons which will
lie licensed will bn tnueh less than
heretofore and that the objectionable
places will be cut out a proceeding
which will have the support of thn
better element among the saloon men.
ftevernl of the most prominent men
of both parties snld that the rial need
Is not no-llcense, hut a uniformed po
lice force, paid by thn day to keep
order In the town. The average
rowdy or drunk, say they, respects a
uniform and th" police could keep
disorder off the streets nnd force tho
sulnnns to obey the letter and spirit
of the law.
