The vote in the House against the
McGeary bill was almost three to one
The sixty towns whose representatives
voted for the bill have an aggregate
population of ia, $50. The III towns
whose representative voted for prohi-
bition have an aggregate population of
l99,605. Viewed in this light, it was
not such an overwhelming defeat for
license. The discrepancy is due to the
system of representation in vogue in
the Vermont House, where towns have
one vote each, irrespective of size.

cadence of that issue in its erstwhile

nj losses in the East and South and
gains in the West were the order.
Everything indicates a tendency to-
ward the former alignment of the
parties, with a solid Democratic South.
a nearly solid Republican North, and
the great West and New York as the
real battlefield. New issues. like that
of silver, may, for time, disturb the
equilibrium, but political conditions |
will generally follow the beaten path.

When the Vermont regiment of vol
unteers was being prepai ed for service
last spring, this paper was among the
many that criticised the attempt of GER
tain persons in authority to place a
regular army officer in command of it..
We wish right here and now to confess
that we were mistaken as to the prop
er course. Our opinion has not been
vindicated. 1t did not require the tes-
timony given by officers of the reoi-
ment the past week to make clear the
very grave error that was made in
sending the regiment to camp in COM
mand OF volunteer officers throughout.
Had these officers been of the highest
efficiency possible for men of their cx-
perience, the results must have been
disappointing. Unfortunately, all the
evidence goes to show that they were
not even up to that standard. Beyond
question, the poor showing made by
our volunteers and their shattered phy-d
steal condition are attributable. in
some measure, to the lack of care and
discipline that regular officers would
have exercised. Instead of being
mere pleasure outing, the dangers of
camp life are scarcely inferior to those !
Of the field itself. Men of experience !
and demonstrated capacity should be |
placed at the head.

the wealth and Importance of the state
When the Legislature refused to appro-
pirate penny for the Tennessee expo
sition it certainly did not expect the
state to have bill of nearly $1,000 to
pay for a big junket down there. That
amount of money could have been
more wisely expended by the state at
the exposition. Nor does the state
relish paying for maple sugar, pictures
or the enormous telephone, telegraph
and typewriter charges of Gen. Peck,
to say nothing of that item of $40 for
the swell ball in New York. Money
comes little too hard to the taxpayers
up here in the hills to be squandered
in that way. 1t seems to us that the
late auditor is far from blameless.
Such bills should never have been
approved.
