Roosevelt is opposed as governor Of
New York by Judge Van Wyck OF
Brooklyn, a brother Of Mayor Van
Wyck, who received the Democratic
nomination last week. He was Gro
ker's man, and the convention really
had but little to do about nominating
him. Personally, Van Wyck is said to
be without blemish, but no one doubts
that if elected he would do the bidding
of his master, whose character is any
thing but pure. As between the doml-
nation of Croker or Platt, the latter is
preferable, but Roosevelt can be de-
pended on to exercise the same degree
of independence that he has in the
past. He is Platts choice only because
he is the unquestioned choice OF the
party and Plat had to get into line or
get crushed. A hot campaign is on,

us. Let us keep our staunch old ship
right side up during the storm at this
time raging.
Prohibition is an idea evolved from
Christian civilization, to place human
ity higher in the scale of moral and So
cial progress. And all the theories
and arguments that are arrayed against
it are simply commissions, that are tax
inc place between truth and error in
the effort to establish order and har-
mony in society. Let us not under
estimate the strength and influence
that will be brought to bear in favor Of
license, for | fear that the bias,towards
such a result is deeply settled and
widespread through the length and
breadth Of the state. Let us pitch our
efforts to the highest key, and strength
en- public sentiment in favor of law
enforcement. This is no sham battle,
remember. The strongest power is
welded from internal worthiness and
not external excitement, never tamper-
ing one moment with an evil principle,
but standing like Washington at Val
ley Forge, calm and dignified, prepared,
in spite OF the circumstances and press
ure of the times, to meet the shock

As usual, the farmers are in control
of the Legislature his year. Some pa
pers have been unkind enough to say
that this means that no legislation IA
vorable to the farmers interests will
be effected 1t is unfortunately true
that many of our laws, especially tax
laws, bear hard on that class. These
faults might easily be remedied if the
farmers would stand for themselves in
way to command respect for their
position. In the past, they have too
frequently lacked leadership, taken
ridiculous positions and accomplished
nothing. Double taxation, especially,
should receive attention ut this session
and the farmers are most vitality inter
ested. If they are diffident about max
ing their wants known, they cannot
complain if those whom double taxa
ton does not injure, but rather helps,
do nothing to repeal the law.

As was anticipated. the referendum
in Canada on the question of prohibi-
ton or license resulted in favor of the
former. The majority in favor of pro-
hibition, however, was disappointing.
1t was only about 10000 IN the whole
Dominion. The vote cast was very
light one and the people showed very
little interest in it. All the provinces
except Quebec went prohibition, though
some of them by slender pluralities.
In Quebec. the license majority was
immense and well nigh overcame the
prohibition lead outside. As was ex-
planned last week, this popular vote
has no binding effect except that if the
Parliament considers the demand
strong enough it may enact a national
prohibitory law. In view Of the rath-
CT indecisive result-since far less than
majority Of the total registered vote
declared for prohibition-the Parlia-
nent may decline to act. 1t seems as

Our readers will be greatly interest
ell in the result of "straw ballot" of
the voters of Randolph on the question
of prohibition or license. given on
another page. This poll was taken
with absolute fairness and unquestion-
ably represents the real sense of the
voters of that town on this gfeat ques-
ton. The result is of course surpris-
ing. even to most believers in license.
Randolph is regarded as one of the
strongest temperance towns in the
state, and justly so. That so large a
proportion of its voters should take
their stand in favor of license shows
how the present law fails to satisfy the
people. We believe this is the first at
tempt to ascertain the real sentiment
by means of the secret ballot ever
undertaken in Vermont and we COM
mend the plan to other papers in
search of interesting news.

their dresses. It was so cold they could
not stop moving Had they done so they
would have heen frozen to death. At 6
O'Clock sunday morning they came out
on the killin9ly read in Johnston. They
were all suffering from exposure and
sought shelter at n nearby house. Here
they passed tho day. Sadie Longtottom
used to live In Olneyville and when the
police were warned OF the escape Of the
three girls thought they would probably
come To Olneyvillo before long.
