The Ludlow Tribune, in answer to
some home criticism, says that it
stands for temperance, but not for pro-
hibition. We have never heard any
one announce a preference for intern
perance. The trouble with the
Tribune's platform is that the worst
drunkard could stand consistently up
on it, If the brother really believes
that there is more evil under prohibit
ton than there would be under any
other form of handling the traffic. he
is of course entitled to the opinion,
but the majority of his readers will
hold him to be mistaken. There are
some license advocates who truly he
lieve this, but they are vastly outnum-
bered 10y those who, while loudly con-
demning prohibition because it does
not prohibit, would be most grievously
vexed if it did. So long as the great
majority Of those who want to sell OF
drink intoXicants clamor for license.
the vast number who do not want the
traffic TO prevail viii be found working
against them.

Every Nermonter hopes that the re-
port that Admiral Dewey is in failing
health is either wholly uutounded or
greatly exaggerated. That he has been
under intense strain for more than a

hension. lie shows no disposition to
leave his post Of duty, though he has

ance of his life. His earnest desire is

puted possession OF the Philippines, be-

State Superintendent Stone is in
high favor among the residents of town
school districts lying in towns which
have also incorporated school districts
because of the adoption by the last
legislature OF his long-cherished
scheme of dividing the public school
money in such towns according to the
number OF schools. instead Of as here
toforc. according 10 the school attend
ance. The result is that quite a sum
Of money is taken from the graded
schools and divided among the outly-
ing district schools fhe idea is. we
suppose. that by this aid better schools
can be maintained in the small dis
tricts. If this promise is fulfilled, there
win be no complaint from the graded
districts, for the state at large has a
direct interest in securing the best
possible results from moneys expend-
ed for education. II, however. the re-
suit is that this aid goes not into the
schools, but into the pockets Of the
taxpayers and no benefit is derived
thereby, there viii be dissatisfaction in
the sections from which this money is
diverted. A few years experience viii
demonstrate the wisdom or error of
the plan.

By taking formal position in oppo-
sition to the retention of the Philip
pines, the Democrats in Congress have
again shown their historic ability of
getting on the wrong side of every is
sue. Theirs is of necessity snap judg-
ment. In the short time thus far af-
forded, it is the most extreme folly to
decide otf-hand that we must not hold
the islands. Their people are now IN
open revolt against our authority and
will consider nothing but our immedi-
ate withdrawal, leaving them to enjoy
their peculiar brand of independence.
The position of the Democracy is such
that If it were to come into control it
would grant the rebels everything they
ask and humiliate our troops and flag
by bringing them home. Such step
would never be countenanced by our
people. The Republican position-to
first restore order and good govern
ment and then establish the best form
of government that seems possible I'M
der the conditions-will commend it.
self to the sober judgment, not only of
our people, but Of the entire world.
The policy Of firing at our soldiers

At the time that the Spanish fleet I'M
der Admiral Camara started for Mani
la and actually passed through the SUI
ez canal before it was recalled by the
projected descent of strong Yankee
fleet on the Spanish coast, there was
considerable speculation as to what
Dewey would do if Camara really got
to Manila. The Spanish fleet was
more than a match for Dewey's
squadron unless reinforced. The mon
itors Monterey and Monadnock were
on their way to him, but according to
estimate could not reach him before
the Spaniards would arrive The stu
alton Of Dewey at this time was eriti-
cal. 1t is now known what his plans
We're. He proposed to let the troops
that had been landed take sufficient ra-
tions to last several weeks and march
inland and fortify themselves. Then
with his ships and the tranports he was
TO sail ont from Manila and eastward
until he met the monitors. Then he
would return and while the Spaniards
were eXulting over a practical victory
he would re-enter the harbor and gain
a second triumph that would over
shadow the first. Fortunately, just As
orders Tor this movement were about
to be given, news came that the Span
ish fleet had turned back, A queer
chapter of history would have been
written if Camara had gone on to Ma
Mia.

We notice in several exchanges from

nation of boards of trade to assist in
booming their several towns. Such
steps are praiseworthy, but not eonelu-

is a town whose citizens are a unit in
working for the towns welfare. With
out this, no board can succeed and
with it no board is necessary.
