The Farmers At Montpelier.

It appears as if the farmers in the
present legislature intend to enjoy q
taste of power, and the Evening Ar
gus is glad that it is so. Year after
year the farmer members constitute
q majority of the general assembly
Of Vermont and have it in Their
power to dictate legislation at lcas,
to the extent of serving their own
interest. We shall be glad to see
the farmers organized and taking ad.
vantage of their opportunities. They
are not, we believe, arbitrary o, die
tatorial. We do not look to see any
tyrannous actions attempted by them.
We have no idea that they will
throw obstacles in the way OF wise
legislation but will rather be dis
posed to favor it. Farmers are gen.
orally thinking class Of men. They
may not be as familiar with matters
of Legislative concern as some other
members, but they are just as COM
petent to arrive at right conclusions.
We shall watch NTH interest the ac-
tons OF the farmer members this
year, when they have a realizing
sense of their power.-Montpelier

FIRE AT w. R. JUNCTION

The freight house at White River
Junction, used jointly by the Boston
and Maine, Woodstock and Central
Vermont railroads, was burned last
week Friday night and telegraph
and telephone communication was
somewhat interrupted. The loss is
about $4,000.
The building contained a large
amount of freight, the exact total
value of which has not yet been fig
ured.
Owing to the inadequate fire fight
ing system, the fire was not extin-
guished until noon Saturday. White
River Junction has one steamer at
its command, but for some reason
this could not be used. The town
has, however, a good hydrant sys-
tenn, with strong pressure of
water, and the local department
labored with zeal to subdue the
flames. The freight house was a
wooden structure one and one-half
stories in height, about 1000 feet
long by 40 feet wide.
The Woodstock road lost only a
couple ofbales Of rags awaiting ship
ment to Dewey's mills.
1t is believed that the fire was
caused by furniture catching fire
from an overheated stove in the office
OF the Central Vermont railroad.

II Doesn't Mean Free Rum.

The sooner the panicky, petition.
signing public loses the idea that
the passage of a license'local option
bill means that we are to have free
rum in every Vermont city, village
and hamlet the better it will be for
the peace and happiness of the
State. There is going to be change
soon, which may be a somewhat
radical departure from the present
prohibition procedure, but the change
now advocated doesn't mean thBt we
are to have an unrestricted traffic in
liquor or open saloons all over
Woodstock, all over Barnard, Beth.
el, Hartland or Bridgewater. 1t
means that the people of these and
other towns will have the right that
belongs to them OF saying whether
they will have prohibition as it now
prohibits or some other method OF
regulating the rum business.
