against their will and would be very
glad indeed if the people would vote
down prohibition, but the tide is NOV
ing strongly against them and they
win probably have to submit or be en-
quilted in some coming election. Like
all phases of the liquor question, that
of national prohibition is susceptible
of strong argument on both sides. With
the traffic prohibited in all parts of the
country, il would be easier to prevent
it in any one part, inasmnch as officials
could cooperate and liquor would be
placed under the ban throughout a
wide section and could be less easily
brought within any one state. On the
other hand, experience has shown that
the law must depend on local senti-
ment for its enforcement. Ii one state
preferred license and its desire was
overridden by the country at large, 1t
would be most difficult to prevent any
thing but free rum in that state. This
very point will be encountered in Can
ada, il a national prohibitory law is
passed. It is encouraging to note,
however, that whether in prohibition
or license states, under whatever kind
of law that is in force. the tendency is
becoming more and more pronounced
in favor OF temperance. Rum selling
and rum drinking are fast growing I'M
popular Upon this sentiment, which
should be fostered as much as possible,
rather than upon any certain law, rests
the hope of the future. When people
see that incompetence and all that leads
up to it should be checked in every
way possible and when they are ready
to let rum alone themselves there will
be no trouble in finding legal measures
wholly efficacious.

The Brattleboro Phoenix is respon-
sible for the report that mystery of
long duration was cleared up at the
recent veterans reunion at Vernon,
when Hon. l.. M. Read of Bellows
Falls confessed to Edwin Headle of
Putney that he was responsible for a
barrel OF onions which were stolen
from Mr.. Headle during the civil war.
Mr.. Headle was commissary of Com
pany |, Second Vermont regiment,
and although he had made numerous
inquiries he had not been able, until
Saturday, to discover the perpetrator
o: the theft. After his recent narrow
escape from being nominated as the
second district member of Congress,
Judge Read evidently did not wish to
take any further chances, and there
fore, embraced this early opportunity
to s'confess" and clear up matters for
the hereafter. We always believed
Judge Read to be man of more than
average ability. We are more con-
WINGED of that fact now than ever be-
fore. A man who can cause q barrel
of onions to disappear in 1862 and
leave no trace behind, is no ordinary
mortal. If this confession had been
made public before the congressional
nominating convention, Judge Reads
attempt to retire Congressman Grout
to private life might have been sue
cessful--The Republican.

st. Adams is in the throes of another
anti-rumselling crusade. The clergy
men of the railroad city have circu-
lated petition asking the officials to
execute the law and il has been liber-
ally signed. The hotel proprietors, al
of whom run the usual bar accommo-
dations, declare that If they are inter
fered with they will close their houses
for good. Those merchants and bust
ness men who signed the petition have
been notified by the liquor dealers they
will be boycotted by them in future

where rum selling is strictly prohibit
ed and heavy penalties are supposed
to be visited on all who are known to
be engaged in it?

At the recent good roads convention
at Veroennes resolution introduced
by ex-Mayor Van Patten of Burlington
was passed. proposinga change in the
state highway law that would bring
about division of the state highway
funds on a basis of counties, instead
of town highway mileage. as at pres
ent. each county expanding what it
raised upon its own roads. This meas
urc is likely to be pushed at the COM
ing session. If ii passes. 1t will mean
that the bulk of the state aid 10 the
sparsely settled sections win be taken
away. Counties with large grand lists
will be the gamers. The tendency
would naturally be to improve the
roads now in good condition and ADAM
don the poor roads to their fate. The
rich counties like Chittenden and Rut-
land hold that ii is unjust to compel
them to contribute toward the inn
provement of roads in Essex and Or
ange counties and that they ought to
be allowed to eSpend all their grand
list raises within their own borders.
There is force in this argument and it
is strengthened by the tact that their
past contributions under the law to the
poorer counties have been misapplied
and made to pay for ordinary repairs
of highways when the intent of the law
was clearly not to afford an opportu-
nifty for lowering the town highway
tax rate in any section at the expense
of any other section, but of laying the
foundation for permanent system of
highways throughout the state. II the
new plan is adopted. the back towns
win have themselves to blame, but we
hope some better method of admins.
tering the present law win be devised
and tried before it is cast aside and
the poorer towns thrown back on their
own resources. which would mean moth
ing but the very crudest roads in such
communities.

posed / believe that the law, which has
been on our statutes for nearly half a
century and which, with all its faults,
has done great good, would be sus-
tanned, but such a result would not do
much good as states attorneys and
other officers would not be converted
to righteous ways by that means.
1.-The only way to destroy the senti-
ment which exists against the present
law and in favor of a license law is to
discreetly and impartiaIly enforce it.

The states attorney of Chittenden
county must be in a constant cold
sweat nowadays, since the grand jury
of that county reported that he was
falling to do his duty in enforcing the
prohibitory law. His salary is in

devised to bring the non-enforcement
of the law home to the pocket of the
plain citizen as it is in the case OF
states attorneys there might be more
hope of prohibition meaning proven

Today the people of the whole Do
minion of Canada viii do something
that the people of an entire country
never die before. AT the election held
this date the voters win express their
preference at the polls for prohibition
of the liquor traffic or license, in the
form of a referendum. The way in
which this novel step has come about
is interesting. Several years ago, in
response to a strong demand from the
temperance people, the Liberal party
agreed in its platform to pass a ma
tional prohibitory law as soon as it
was convinced that the people really
wanted such a measure. After some
hesitancy, following its complete tri-
umph in that election, it has consented
to refer the matter to the polls and of
course the inference is that if prohibit
ton wins today the Liberals will pass
kw of such nature. According to
all reports, there is every indication
that such viii be the result in today's
vote. The clergy of Canada, both
Catholic and Protestant. and many
other forces are working to achieve
that end and the people seem inclined
to try the experiment of national pro-
hibition. There is some doubt. how
ever, about the Liberal party redeem
ing its pledge. The leaders have been
forced to their present position rather

The sentences in the Marsh-Buzzell
murder case will doubtless come before
the approaching Legislative session and
an attempt will be made to have them
committed. 1t will of course fail, as
nearly all similar efforts in the past
have. Our legislative body is too UNI
assuming to revoke the decision of a
court of law before which the entire
evidence was submitted in way that
could not be done now. If the legis-
lature wishes to do anything, let il
revoke the provision under which it Is
impossible to execute capital punish
ment until after a session of the legis-
lature can have chance to usurp the
prerogative of the court and pass
Judgment in murder cases. Another
step worth considering is the alterna-
tive penalty discretion that Massachu-
sets vests in the jury Of capital case.
They can determine whether the pen
atty in the case before them shall be
hanging or Imprisonment for life. This
discretionary privilege. il seems to us,
has some very good points about it..
Unlike the total absence of capital
punishment, 1t does not remove the
fear of the moose, which is a powerful
deterrent to murder. The homicide
could not know in advance how the
jury would view his deed. Then there
are often cases where the element Of
doubt enters to such an extent that the
jury hesitates to convict where convic-
ton means death to the accused. Other
cases there are when anything short Of
capital punishment seems utterly in
adequate. The jury before whom the
evidence is submitted is the best Judge
of the nature of the penalty.

Col. Roosevelt, the gallant leader OF
the Rough Riders, has been honored
with the nomination for governor OF
New York by the Republicans. The
prospect is that he viii be triumphant
" elected, though the Democrats car
ried the state last by a large majority.
Boss Plat was compelled to endorse
Roosevelt by the popular demand for
him, though it is probable that he
would have very much preferred some
one who would be more subservient
in case of election. Plat, though he
practically made Black governor, had
no further use for him because he re-
fused to do the bidding of the boss.
Black seems also to have lost his grip
on the people and would have been a
weak candidate. Roosevelt has that
dashing, pugnacious nature that
pleases the people and at present he is
in high favor because of his very cred
liable war record. He will make hot
canvass and if elected New York will
have picturesque and probably an
able chief executive. From there the
way may lead to the presidents chair.
The Spanish war must furnish at least
one president. VIII it be Roosevelt
or Deweyp The New Yorker has some
advantages, but less real claim.

Ex-Gov. Woodbury. comes out with
what is pretty near a condemnation of
the prohibitory law. He is especially
severe on the officers in whose hands
rests its enforcement. Among other
things he says =
ut is not extravagant to say tina. three
fourths of the public sentiment which
exists in this state against the present
law is caused by its non-enforcement
and not because the people want free
rum. This sentiment has been created
largely by the inefficiency and the in.
difference or worse of the officers whose
duty 1t is to enforce the law, and until
some means can be devised to over
come this deplorable condition the law
viii continually grow in disfavor, and
justly so too.

if not too severe, upon its transgress-
ors, and hope that our legislators will

to strengthen it by adding more or Sc
