To those who believe that litigation in
Vermont is dying out with the advancing
era Of peace and good will to men, the pres
ence OF such swarms OF lawyers as over
ran headquarters last evening and are today
sHarming everywher in the city-where
revelation. And they all looked well-fed
and wore good clothes, too. Some of them,
even, ventured into plug hats and patent
feathers. Considering that they are con-
tinually exposed to temptation and also
their limited opportun ty to reform, they
are fairly decent class of citizens. They
mean well-at times, they are ON the right
side-when it has the most money and
reaches them first, and, all in all, they are
necessity. You will remember that neces
sity knows no law, which is why it resem-
b % some OF them.

In criticising the petitions for the reten-
ton IF the prohibitory law some people
affect to believe that they lose their force
and ability to command respect in the pro-
portion that they are signed by women.
Well, why? Although women do not ex-
ercise full voting rights, yet they are citi-
zens and have fully rs deep and wide an
interest in the matter as have the superior
beings who can vote. The signature to a
petition of an intelligent woman who may
pay large tax bill should receive quite as
much consideration as that Of beer and
tobacco soaked male whose life isn't worth
a poll tax and who won't pay one if he can
avoid it,

The bill TO create a State Inspector and
pun chaser OF liquor for town agencies W ~
introduced in the House on Friday by
Mr. Sibley. The bill is an extensive one

bill would accomplish the desired results in
this line 1t certainly ought to pass.

The indications multiply that Brer. Bge-

and lots Of 10. Several eminent Burling-

strenuously opposed to the measures, and
the com missioner insinuates because they
have large quantities of taxable proper ty
which they desire to keep secluded from
the cold, unfeeling world. In any event,
opposition is coming from many directions,
and the hearing and discussions in he

lively interest in the matter.
