gorge w. Morrow Answers Clement.


superintendent of the Vermont Anti
Saloon League, was the speaker at two
very interesting services at the Congre
gational church, Sunday. In the morn
ing he preached a strong temperance ser
mon to a large audience and in the even
ing a crowded house greeted him to hear
an answer to Percigal W. Clement S
much delivered campaign speech in favor
Of high license local option. Mr.. Morrow
had with him a manuscript copy OF Mr..
Clements speech and his replies to many
OF the statements therein were effective
and convincing. OF particular interest
was his re erenCe to Mr. Clements state
ment that the expense Of enforcing the
liquor law was greater than the revenue
received from fines imposed. In disputing
this Mr.. Morrow quoted from former
State auditor Hale's reports for the 10
years, 1856 1898, which shows that the
average profit above the cost OF prosecu-
tions was S23 600 year. A foot note
to this report says that this amount was
reduced by the expense OF prosecuting
appealed cases in the county and supreme
courts, but the speaker said that actual
statistics secured from the officials of the
city courts in Burlington, showed that
but in 800 cast S were carried to higher
court, which reduced the total profits
but slightly. The arguments were close
" listened to and doubtless had the effect
of correcting some MISUNDERSTANDING
regarding the matter.
A Streak of Fat and IA Streak of Lean.
The base ball grounds will doubtless
be reminder of the Frenchman's fam
Gus pig Friday afternoon, when the fat
men and the lean men Of the township of
Lyndon meet for a game of ball for the
benefit of the Library fund. The final de-
tails of the game were arranged Satur-
day evening at Webbs Hotel, when the
managers OF the enterprise met and or
ganised the teams. Ernest B. Chase was
elected captain of the Pats" and his
would-be champions are as follows: Will
Webb, Will Weeks, Ben Pierce, George
Rines, A. Morancie, Tom Mills, George
Pierce, Editor E. 0. Leonard, George
Varney, Charles Lamoreaux and DR.. Ma
COON. The heavyweight umpire will be
Henry Watson, and John Gable will do
the honors as mascot.
The lean team is made up as follows:
E. ]. Blodgett, captain, Harry Silsby, e.
win G. Campbell, T. E. Neagle George
Hubbard, Bert Hubbard, Clarence Dodge,
Charles X. Emerson, A. D. Paige, Jed
Lincoln, Roadmaster Sherwin, Carol
Edgerton, B. G. Morrison and c. E.
Winter, players-in-ordinary. Lorenzo
Hall has been chosen as umpire for this

as mascot. All the physicians in town
have agreed to serve in the ambulance
corps and the dentists have also been
drafted to provide against all possible
contingencies. Rev. FIR. Pontbriand will
be chitfof-police. 1t is evident that the
managers desire an honest record of the
scores, if perchance any should be made,
for they have selected for this duty Revs.
]. c. Bodwel and John Kimball. Special
rules for the guidance of rooters have
been promulgated and nine innings will
