ihy contemporary, the Rct0rmer, Is aghast AZ
the amount of moonshine whiskey therc Is III
Vermont. We think the Rct0mer Is heeu-
lessy excted-there is not nearly the preVa-
lenco of illicit distilling throughout the state
that seems apparent in Windham county We
heo our excellent neiphbor TO calm himself.
He is deceived by the fact that all the whiskey
in Windham county naturally grayitates
towards the Reformer office. There are no
moonshiners up here"

In this unfeeling manner does the Mont
pelier Waterman talk 10 the young and yirtu-
Gus knight-errant OF the Defdmer:
Funny that the Reformer, in its article
on state expenses published two days later
than the Waterman, should in some places,
| fall into a line of comment almost identical
with the Watchman's, and should so uncon
| sciously use the same expressions to word
| and some of the same illustrations in the
same language in characterizing certain feat
ures of the old court expense abuses. This
Is not intended to be euphemism for steal
ing Tackle on to the school question now
| Mr.. Reformer, and when you have boosted
that up out of the slough of despond yor
can read your title clear to your name. On
| ly give US all chance to help in the goot
work-just little"
