1t is a vigorous twist to the pro-
hibitory law that Judge Rowell is
giving IN the Chittenden county
court in the prosecution of the long
string of druggists and other Bur
l,ngton dealers. He has charged
the jury in one case that every hold
er of a United States liquor license
is a common seller from the day he
takes and pays tor such license, and
can be convicted as such on that
proof alone, unless controverted by
other evidence. The statute makes
the holding of license prima facie
evidence, and as the Judge inter-
prets it, proof of that kind is sutfi-
cient to establish crime "beyond a
reasonable doubt" This is as rca-
sonable as any of it.-Brattleboro

A. 10 the Contrariety of Barbers.


Every barber on earth," said the
ubservant man. has one habit that
drives me,..tO drink. He gets you nice
" lathered up, strops q razor careful
ly and then makes one sweep with
the blade across your face. Then he
looks at you inquiringly and suspends
operations while he asks. Razor suit
you. sir? II you answer yes. he al.
ways turns around and strOps the ra-
zOr two or three times, or else he
promptly changes the blade. Why he
should do either when you say you
are satisfied cannot fathom. Lately
! have always said that the razor did
not suit, and In nearly every case the
barber kept serenely at work with the
same razor. I might add that that's
the reason that am now shaving my
self."-New York Sun.

The Open Season for Deer.

AS most sportsmen know the
hunting season for deer, which this
year is very short, will be open on
October 20 and continue only the
rest of the month. This short open
season is due to the fact that an
amendment was made to the law
granting the month of October tor
deer hunting, at the last session Of
the Legislature cutting the time down
to the last 10 days OF the month.
The shortening OF the open season
was due to the great slaughter OF the
game and the fear that if continued
for another season it would result
either in their determination or drive
them out of the state. During tine
first open season large number Of
sportsmen from cities and states out
side Vermont came in and assisted
in the shooting.

ERsHIP IN THE IxTH DISTRICT
WHAT HE MAY DO

Friends OF John c. Sheehan, the Tammany
leader in the TXth Assembly District. have learned
that another attempt to take away his leadership
is to be made at the primary elections In Septem-
Der. Last September there was a movement to have
Sheehan displaced because patronage In the Munici
pal Government had been kept back from the dis
trict organization. Richard Croker had turned
Sheehan down and had made the organization In
the IXth District understand that no patronage
could go to 1t while Sheehan was kept in the lead.
Sheehans friends rallied to his support. however.
and he carried the district at the primaries with
an overwhelming majority. 1t Is now declared that
Mr.. Croker has determined to use his influence 10
have the leadership OF the IXth District trans
ferred from Sheehan to Thomas F. Smith. clerk OF
the City Court and Mr.. Cookers private secretary.
John Il. McGoldrick. who one OF Shechans
supporters In the district, turned out of the
office of clerk of the City Court TO make room for
Smith by Mr. Croker's orders several months ago.
Mr.. Sheehan has announced that he will mako
another fight to retain the leadership in his dis
trict. and his friends say he will make fight
against Crokerism as well. Some time he bade
defiance to Mr.. Croker by giving interview
against expansion after Mr.. Croker had talked in
print In favor Of expansion. He was instrumental
also In bringing William Jennings Bryan here to
talk at the one-dollar dinner which was got I'D
az a rival to Mr. Cookers ten dollar dinner Mr.
Sheehan has shown disposition 10 take the lead
