The Campaign against the SalooI
Idea

The association formed at Montpelier
last week for the purposes of carrying
on a campaign against the high license and
local option bill which has been referred
to the people by the Legislature In accord
ance with the pledge of the Republican
party. has a broader significance than
the mere defeat of the referendum meas
ure or the retention of prohibition. The
association in question, according to one
of its chief promoters, seeks first to pre-
vent the Introduction into Vermont Of the
logalizets sale of intoxicating liquor as a
beverage as proposed by the referendum.
Inasmuch as certain newspapers devoted
TO the interests of the liquor trade have
come to condemn the liquor saloon and
since not a few advocates of high license
In the Green Mountain State have depre-
Gated the legalizing of the saloon it is
hardly incumbent upon the opponents of
the license law to demonstrate the OBJ
jectionable character OF the section of
the act which expressly provides for
the legalizing Of the dram shop under GER
lain conditions. With the referendum H.
at once become the most prominent factor
In local politics, and the section which
provides for the granting Of licenses by
local boards will almost inevitably cause
the saloon interests to seek TO control the
section OF selectmen in towns and alder
men in cities. thus tending to lower the
character and efficiency of those boards
There arc other features of the law en-.
.irely outside OF the question of the liquor
trafc In and of itself to which the asso
citation will devote its attention.
The second object of the association will
De to secure a period for the discussion OF
he liquor problem entirely separate from
he domain OF local politics. The issue
vas injected into the gubernatorial conte.
and from that time up to the present i

measure without considering the bearing

VERMONT TRADE CONDITIONS
AS Seen by Bradstreets Representativs
throuHhout the sta.e.

The severe weather during the week has
interfered with the retail trade in the out
lying districts but has stimulated trade
in seasonable goods in the larger towns.
The weather Will have a wholesome effect
upon the retail trade. Fuel is very scarce
There is small amount of coal In Bur
ingtun and a few OF the cities. but it is
sold only in email amounts to meet pres
ont needs. There is practically no coal
for sale in the smaller towns. Owing to
the abundance Of wood there should be no
particular suffering here, although there
has been a good outside demand for pre-
pared wood. and there is but little sea-
soned in the market Manufacturing con-
Germs which depend upon coal Will be
greatly Inconvenience. The granite trade
3 quiet and there will probably be no ma
teral improvement until after the New
Year. Other Industries are busy as n rule
and there continues to be a good demand
Tor labor. Snow has come in sufficient
amounts to afford good seghing. Bur-
lii stOn reports the retail trade reasonably
good but the merchants are expecting n
large holiday trade and have attractive
displays of goods. The jobbers are busy
and collections are AS usual; coal dealers
are trying their best to satisfy the city
and country trade with a small amount of
coal and large amount of explanations.
The retail price of coal has been kept
down to s.. Business at St. Adams is Of
usual volume. the furniture factory and
other manufacturing concerns are busy
Retail trade is good considering the severe
weather. There is but little manufactur-
ing business at Enosburgh Falls but the
retail lines are doing fairly well and bust
ness in general is satisfactory. Tho most
important event at Montpelier is adjourn
ment OF the Legislature which has been
in session about ten weeks, The granite

The Christmas number of the American

An interesting controversy is in pro-
gross between the Colonial Danes of
America" on the one side and the Colon
ial Danes of New York and National
Society Of Colonial Danes of America" on
the other side over the name Colonial

right OF invention and prior use while
the two other societies claim that the
title is general and descriptive and cam
not be appropriated for private use. The
case is in the New York courts and has
reached the court of appeals at Albany.
The decision will be of interest to some
Vermont women, as this State has an in

In Orange county court last week no less
than nine divorces were granted for In

case the petitioner, and in most of the
cases being allowed to resume her maiden

desertion, one of them to the wife and the
other TO the husband and one to the wife
for refusal to support on the part of the

Kerosene and sugar have advanced, but
the quarantine owing to the appearance
of the foot and mouth disease has caused
a fall in the price of pork in this part
of Vermont. Hogs can not be shipped
from the state and farmers. owing to the
high price Of grain. do not care to run
the risk of wintering their swine, or fat
tening them further. The rush of pork has
caused sudden drop in the wholesale
price. but there may be a corresponding
scarcity of pork in the not distant future.
