There has been issued lately His
tory of Norwich University of North
field. 1t is a large and handsome vol
ume of over six hundred pages. IT
contains not only history of the insti-
tuition dating back to its inception in
1919, but a series of sketches Of nota-
BILE alumni and past cadets that proves
conclusiyely the important part the
university has had in shaping the ma
tons history. These biographies alone
make the work worthy of place in
every public library in Vermont at
least and many students of history
would CLEAN much of advantage from
its pages. The record of ~. US sons
in war especially Is striking one and
can be paralleled by no institution save
West Point. No less than 517 of them
have served under the flag, and nearly
all with distinction. Six major-gene-
rails, eight brigadiers and scores Of
colonies, majors. captains and subordi-
nate officers are among the number.
Perhaps the best known among them
at present are Admiral Dewey and
Gen. Dodge. head Of the army inycsti-
CATION board. In civil life, too. the
graduates of this little university have
won places Of high merit. If there are
any who are doubtful about the wis
dom of granting state aid to n. L. for
fear that it will not yield adequate re-
turns. they will be satisfied after learn
inc from this history what has been
done in the past. If there were any
way OF determining the per cent of
success that her sons have attained in
comparison with those of other col
leges. we are sure there would be moth
ing for Norwich to fear in such COM
petition. If a way can be devised for
enIarging her sphere of usefulness, the
state and nation will be largely the
debtor in the end. The increase in
the strength of the army that is certain
to result from the late war win create
a demand for just such men as this in
stitution turns out and its record is so
well known at Washington that it will
not be overlooked.

How the Press Stands.

1t is urged in some quarters that the
talk about referendum on the liquor
question is "bosh" inasmuch as practi-
cally everybody is satisfied with the
present law and such a step would be
entirely useless.
While it may be true that majority
of our people prefer prohibition to H.
cense, it is beyond doubt that yer,
considerable portion are far from be-
lieving in the efficacy of the present
law and would welcome a change.
How large portion this is we are not
able to say, but to Judge from data at
hand, notably the recent canvass 10
Randolph. conducted by this paper,
which no one has yet assailed as I'M
fair, it is sufficient in strength to war
rant attention. 1t is only by such
methods as these that the true senti-
ment can be obtained. So misleading
are surface indications that town
known afar Gas Randolph was) as a
temperance town may. in fact, when
an opportunity is given, pronounce fol
license.
There is one indicator of public opin-
ion that can be consulted with conf
dence. That is the press of the state.
1t is scarcely to be expected tina. edi-
tors will be radical in support OF
license when their readers favor prohi-
bition. The contrary experience is
the more frequent. With this in mind,
let us take poll of the state papers
and what is the result?
Among the dailies. prohibition has
only two champions, the Burlington
Free Press and the Montpelier Record.
The former. be it noted, recently de-
clared in favor of the referendum.

support license. The st. Adams Mes
senger and Barre Telegram preserve
silence, which is not difficult to inter
pref.
OF weeklies, the following are count

part: Burlington Earth, Manchester
journal, Wilmington Times, Brattle-
boro Phoenix. Windsor Journal, North

Johnsbury Caledonian, Barton Mont

The weeklies pronounced for license
are. so far as we can Judge: st. AL
bans Sun, Essex Record, Burlington
Clipper, Brandon Union, Poultney
Journal, Bennington Reformer, Lud-
low Tribune, Brattleboro Reformer and
Londonderry Sitter.

referendum.

Tanmany refused TO nominate Judge
DAILY because he declined to obey the
mandate Of the boss in regard to the
appointment Of a clerk. No other al
legation is made against him. Croker
openly states that it is expected that
Judges will be subservient to his will.
The Republicans have nominated Judge
DAILY and will make test of the point
raised by Tammany. Crokerism was
never so shameless as in this campaign
and it seems as if the great state of
New York would hesitate long before
putting its neck beneath the foot of
this expire fighter and tough. His
precept and example are of the vilest
order. Unlike Plat. with whom he is
compared, Croker has no mentality
save brute will. He has little honor
or honesty. Judging by what rises to
the surface of the cesspool of corrup-
ton that he inhabits. He has no known
business like PlatI. but makes prince
Nv fortune in some dishonest way out
of politics, which money he spends on
English race tracks. Were it not that
rotten government is the kind of gov
eminent that large proportion of
voters in New York want. Croker
would find no following and would
possess no power. Though not enam-
ored Of boss rule, give us leader of
Platt's standing every time in prefer
ence to one of the Croker stamp.

There are the usual number of bills
presented in the Legislature, calcula-
ted to do away with the evil of double
taxation. Most of them have the IA
miliar form of such measures of the
past that have gone the way of things
mortal. For is there any real basis for
hope that these win fare better now, in
spite of the general opinion that some
thing ought to be done. The legisla-
tors fear to tackle the problem. 1t is
admittedly hard nut to crack. Then
the measures attempt to accomplish
too much. They try to restore equilib-
rum without any jar or disturbance,
when in fact disturbance is the only
thing that will give relief. The COM
mittees viii consider the bills in the
usual serious fashion, pick the usual
flaws in them, report them unfavora-
bly, with no effort to solve the problem
and the Legislature will adjourn, leav-
ing the same law that it found. 1t
must be confessed that the farmers
themselves, who should be most inter-
ested, apparently care more about hav-
ing the animal bounty restored or a
milk test established than they do
about paving taxes twice. II is well
