living in larger towns, seem TO be dis
couraeed because the law does not alb.
solutely prohibit, but they should bear
in mind that no law against the com
mission of crime prohibits, but only
restricts in proportion 10 IT'S enforce
ment.
The prohibitory law is a stringent,
restrictive measure. In some ether
states some other restrictive laws may
be better. but for our state the present
law is unquestionably the best at this
time. According 10 the auditors re-
port the amount of fines and costs paid
during the last two years on account
of violations OF the law, exceeded the
court expenses incurred in enforcing
it by S25, 200 per annum.
1t is impossible at this time TO pre-
diet with accuracy the effect the recent
tariff legislation will have upon the
prosperity of our people, but with free
wool and lumber and material re-
duction of duty upon many Of our
leading products, no one can feel
otherwise than apprehensive. ! do
not wish. however to take gloomy
view of the situation, but believe in
having in a good store of courage and
hope and faith in the future Of the
Republic and in the resources Of YER
mont. There is no better place for a
Nernenter 10 invest his money than
In Vermont. If all Of our people for
the next ten wears would do what they
have not done in the past ten years, in
vest their surplus earnings al home,
Vermont would TEEN with new indus
tries aud our population and prosper
ity would materially increase. pre-
dict that substantial gain in our
population will be shown by the next
census. The Western fever is abatine.
Few, If any states in the Union SUR
pass ours in valueper acre Of the prod
ucts of the soil, and none of equal
size surpass us in value Of quarries, in
value and availability of water power,
and no',e in beauty and variety Of
scenery,in purity Of politics, in health
fitness of climate, in happiness of
homes, in morality Of people, in BRAY
cry Of men and virtue of women. Be-
ing thus happily situated, why should
we not be content?
