The States Attorney Wouldn't Sign

Stalks Attorney Hoar of Wash
ngton county dropped into The
liquor agency in Barre the other day
and asked for some alcohol, The
liquor agent asked him to sign /
statement that he wanted it for me-
dicinal or mechanlca purposes but
Mr.. lIoar refused to leave his auto
graph. The county commissioner
was then Summoned to st'alghtcn
out the tanglc.
1t seems that the requirement that
each purchaser OF liquor at a liquor
agency shall sign n statement is Il
regulation of the several co mty
commissioners but is without war
rant of law. In other words the
purchaser is under no legal ohliga-
ton to sign any statement. y law
regulating the management OF town
liquor agencies enacted by the last
legislature reads:
"Sectlon l. Each town agency
for the sale of Intoxicating liquor
under the provisions of chapter lS7
of the Vermont statutes shall keep Il
book in which shall be entered the
date of each sale made at the agency,
the kiuL and quantity Of liquor sold,
and the name of each person to
whom a sale is made Such book
shall be furnished at the expense OF
the town and be and remain the
property of the town, and shall he
open TO inspection at all reasonable
times. Each agent shall, ut the eX-
piratlon of his service rs such agent,
deposit all such books, kept in the
agency during his term OF service,
with the town clerk
This seems to indicate that it is
the agcn's business to fill the blanks
and sign the names. - Bellows Fails
Times.
The states attorney, however.
may have an erroneous conception OF
the scope of the law, according
to later interview with {. II.
Robb in the Times. The town
agents are appointed annually by
the county commssione, and the
statute, section HIS, says, 1.-The
agent shall in the sale of liquor con-
form to such rules as the commits
sioner prcscribes." The require
ment that purchasers of liquor shall
sign Il statement telling for what
they want the liquor is considered
reasonable and the supreme court
would probably uphold an agent
who lived up to such Il requirement.

Thrilling Coon Hunt in a Burllng-
ton Store.

\ coon is on exhibition in a Bur.
llngton store, exciting some interest,
and the manner in which he was
kept in the cellar and his rapid trip
up stairs to his quarters in the show
window arc still more entertaining.
The cage was prepared and Dan
Kelley went below for the coon. OF
succeeding events the Free Press
account says:
During the next half Eour there
issued from the lower regions of the
store strange, weird sounds inter
mingled with dire threats and pune
tuated by terrible anathemas. After
about thirty minutes the coon was
found underneath the accumulation
of boxes and refuse and one wild
whoop foretold the approach of Dan.
Up the stairs at Il rate which makes
Il new record of that method of rapid
transit came the unwilling coon
hunter. No hat covered his tum-
blcd hair, his trousers were torn an d
in his hands, which he had prcvi-
ously taken precautlon to cover with
thick gloves, was the coon, Wind
ing himself in supple coils around
Dams two arms and his tail erect,
eyes hashin. the fire of unwclcome
defeat and last but not least his SHIN
ing teeth buried deep in the soft part
of his captor's thumb.
With one last yell the coon was
shaken loose and dumped INTO his
new home, while Il very iratc clerk
rubbed bruised thumb and in one
breath disclaimed any further con.
nection with the animal and dc.
mandcd restitution for his damaged
pantaloons.

The Burlington Free Press i'm
AGNES Il deadly parallel to Gov.
Smiths taxation scheme in the case
of George Gould, who it is now
said will probably return to New
York from his New Jersey retreat
and become Il resident of the city on
Il $5,ooo,ooo personal property
basis. If the city tried to collect
taxes on $40, 900, which was its
first contention, he would stay away.
There may be only Il hair-splltting
difference in the two cases but we
think the esteemed Free Press is
hasty in assuming that Gotham is
adopting the Vermont governors
phllanthropic plan tor the relief of
oppressed millionaircs. New York
city takes what it can get; SO does
more than one Vermont town when
it comes to the matter of appraisals.
Gould is properly a resident of New
York city, not of Vermont. But
our governors scheme involves an
official contract, a partnership with
tax. dodgers, and puts premium on
the Sinking of taxes-dishonesty
may be harsh word for it-over
which the people of this state have
not yet shown much enthusiasm.
The whole compromise taxation
business is something like the opera
ton of the Vermont liquor law; the
state and the people smile at its
workings because they can't help
themselves. They look pleased and
make the best of it.

marked by desperate struggles. In our
own time we have seen q republic be-
come an empire almost in day; q
free republic annexed, . kingdom

added to the possessions Of a younger
nation. The thunder of Dewey's guns
announced the opening Of q new and
