claims A eainsf the Saloon.
Last Saturday Gov. Goodell of
New Hampshire issued the following
extraordinary proclamation:-
In view of various heinous crimes
which have been committed in our
state within the past few weeks,
directly traceable to the use of intoX-
icating liquors, in the sale of which
the criminal laws of the state have
been flagrantly violated, now there
fore, l do hereby warn all persons
engaged in this illegal and deadly
traffic to desist therefrom immediate
ly, and | call upon the attorney gen
eral of the state, the solicitors and
sheriffs of the counties, the mayors of
the cities and selectmen of the towns
and all other officers of the law
throughout the state; and upon all
good citizens of every party, sex, and
faith to unite in one supreme effort
to close up and suppress every liquor
saloon of every description within
our borders. Let no guilty man
escape. Numerous decisions of our
supreme court attest the constItu
tlonality and validity of our pro-
hlbItory liquor laws. Let them be
vigorously enforced that our people
may enjoy the great benefits which
are sure to follow. And | cannot
refrain from urging all churches,
temperance organizations, and all
persons who desire the best good of
ourcommonwealth, to redouble their
efforts to promote personal sobriety
and temperance amongst our peo-
pie"

Death from q Shirt Stud.

Clinton, the 13-year-old son of
Oliver Fish of Fairhaven, while play
ing football October IA, placed in
his mouth a common shirt stud,
which in the excitement of the game
was sucked down his throat. The
boy strangled, and he was helped
home by his companions. The doc
tor who was called supposed the
button had passed into his stomach
and would cause no further trouble.
Two days after the occurrence
unfavorable symptoms developed,
December Is death resulted. An
autopsy showed that the button,
instead of going into the stomach,
entered the left bronchial tube, where
it lodged, causing a complete break
ing down of the left lung.

EXECUTING THE LIQUOR LAW.

The recent proclamation of Gov.
Goodell of New Hampshire with
reference to the frequent violations
of the liquor law in that state can
not fail of attracting attention.
This is a good step in the right direc-
ton and the CaledOnian, as does
every other paper that has the good
of the country and of mankind at
heart, gladly indorses and supports
this new movement which promises
to do so much to promote sObriety,
temperance, and prosperity in our
land. What New Hampshire wants,
what Vermont wants; in short,
what every state wants is not more
prohibitorv law, but n more fearless
and vigorous enforcement of our
present law.

4 GOOD STATE TO RAISE MEN IN

The late Senator Douglass only
spoke half the truth when he said
Vermont was a good state to emil
CRATE from 1t is also q good state
to be born and live in. At the late
meeting of the Evangelical alliance
at Boston Prof Henry Fairbanks of
St. IOhnsbury gave some statistics
which are worth remembering as eS-
peciallv creditable to our state. In
this report it was stated that Yer
mont has forty-twO per cent of her
native population living out of the
state. Among those who have gone
out have been Il large proportion OF
picked men and women. In measur-
ing their influence they are to be
weighed and not counted. More
than nine hundred ministers have
gone from this state into the Con
gregational and Presbyterian minis
try Among them more than one
hundred have been especially prOmi-
nent. Today seven are college presi-
dents and nine are theological pro-
fessors The town of Burke in this
county, which is now missionary
ground, has sent out twenty-one
evangelical ministers, while the hill
town of Calais, in Washington coun-
ty, also town receiving aid from
the home missionary society, has
given three widely-known and noble
men to the pulpit and church of this
country: Rev. DR.. Clark of the
American Board, the late Rev. DR.. c.
L. Goodell of st. Louis, and Rev. DR..

gagged in numbering during his early
manhood, at one time as partner in
the firm of Kimball, Gilchrist & Co.
He married Isabel, daughter of the
late Alexander Gilchrist, in 1914.
During his whole active life he was
an earnest supporter of the Congre-
gat1Onal church, was superintendent
of the Sunday school, and continued
his interest in the school to the dav
of his death In politics he was a re-
publican of the most unbending type
His experience in Kansas, whittier he
went in border ruffian times, brought
him into conflict with the methods
and spirit of the adherents of slavery,
and intensified his political senti-
nents. During the later years of his
life he was great sufferer from rheu-
matism, but he died of heart disease,
strongin his faith, and thankful that
he was spared longer suffering.

The above figures, which we copy
from HeatOn's "Storv of Vermont"
lately published by Lothrop & Co.,
were given for the express purpose of
inducing New England farmers to
move to Vermont instead of Ohio,
Michigan and other states which
were then called "out West" and
also to counterfeit the western fever
which had already attacked Yer
rnonters in light form. These fig
ures cast some light, not only upon
the fertility of Vermont soil, but the
manner in which farmers procured a
living and even a competence when
they had to haul their product by
team from one hundred to two hum
dred miles before they reached mar
ket and then sell at lower figure
than present prices.
All the men named in this article
were well known in Barnet and
throughout Caledonia county fifty
years ago.
