The IIardwick Gazette says: ga plu-

same law ought to be good enough for
towns. A plurality law would make
practically impossible the 'combines"

of many of the long drawn out fights to
elect representatives. Such law would,
we believe, also result in the selection of
better men for candidates.

The editor of the Swanton Courier

The editor of the Swanton Courier
says:
"Mr. Battell's dispensary bill ought
not to become a law because 1t promotes
bottle drinking which has been the curse
of the state under the prohbitory law.
The law that permits a man to buy a
glass of liquor when he wants 1t without
having TO buy a quantity to get the sim
gle drink will do more to promote tenn
perance than any dispensary law"
In other words, the Courier wants
the open saloon with all its attendant
evils. The people are Enthusiastically op-
posed to the open saloon in this state.
1t is not needed, and it is not desirable
TO have it. If the editor of the Courier
would carefully study this bill he would
see that 1t provides for the sale of beer,
ales, and wines by the glass and this is
all that it is wise to sell by the glass.

The editor of the Bennington Reform
er, after careful study of the provisions
of the Battell bill says; On the whole
the Reformer is favorably Impressed by
Mr.. Battells proposed liquor law and
believes, that with a very few changes,
it Is an experiment worth trying for two
years at least.
Mr.. Battell has spent several weeks in
framing the bill, and has been assisted
by some of the best legal talent in the
state, including Ex-Governor Stewart.
This plan of course does not appeal to
those persons who want to sell liquor or
who wish to spend large part of their
time in a bar-room, but it provides way
by which law abiding citizens can buy
glass of beer or bottle of wine or other
liquor without perjuring themselves or
sending of and buying in demoralizing
quantities. Moreover, 1t turns all the
profit into the state to be distributed on
a population basis.
Mr.. Battell's bill may not become a
law, but it is reasonable experiment

The Burlington Clipper says:
The strongest point about the Battell
bill is the placing of the liquor traffic in
the hands of the state.
There are many good features about
the Battell bill, especially the one refer
red to above.
Now, here's a suggestion: When the
temperance committee has sifted from
the several measures all that is best in
each aud applied its own knowledge and
experience to drafting bill would 1t not
be wise and beneficial move to apply
that part of the Battell bill to the high
license measure that places the strong
arm of the state over the whole proceed
ing?
Under such all arrangement the state
becomes the purchaser of all liquors,
deals them out to the holders of licenses
on their order and at profit. The state
then becomes a gamer on the sale OF
liquor as well as on the issuing OF
licenses.
We want this liquor question to re-
solve itself INTO turning revenue into the
state in large sums. With this money
we can build good roads. better school
houses, better city, village and town
buildings and do more for the dependent
There are many things we can do with
the money derived from the sale OF
liquors and the licensing of the sales
that will work to the advantage of every
citizen and the visitors who come to us
from out the state.
Let's have state jurisdiction and higi
license-so high that the holder of 6
license cannot afford to violate the law

.N.ilways In Argentina.

1.-THE railway system of Argentina
says a correspondent of the London
Post, 'is second to none in the world.
Trains run at frequent intervals and
punctually, especially the long distance
trains. The rolling stock is excellent,
and long distance journey by rail Is a
luxury. The sleeping cars are sumptu
ously appointed, the permanent ways
are we'll laid, and there is consequently
very little jolting. 1t is possible to
breakfast or dine in the trains as COM
fortably as in hotel. The dining cars
are we'll fitted up and beautifully deco
rated with flowers and pot plants. The
food is properly cooked and tastefully
served at any hour Of the day or night,
and, above all, the charges are ex-
traordinarily low. Fares, too, are very
low, so that travelling is an easy and a
cheap matter"

For some time a novel alarm signal
has been in use on the Alps, and 50
successful has it proved that several
European journals are now suggest
ing that it be made international in
stead of merely local.
The signal consists Of shout or
whistle or gupshot, which must be
repeated six times. A traveller who
loses his way on the Alps can also
give the alarm by brandishing light
ed lantern six times at regular inter-
walls. The essential feature Of the sig
nal is that the shout or the whistle or
the gunshot must be repeated six
times-nO more and no less.
Before, however, he goes to the as
sistance Of the person in need he must
let him know that his appeal for help
has been heard, and this he is to do
either by shouting or whistling three
times or by firing three shots.

Finger rings made of horseshoe nails!
They are certainly not pretty or grace
full, but they are said to bring good
luck to the wearer on certain condi-
tons.
To be genuine charm the ring must
be made from a nail taken from a
horseshoe found by the owner herself
and nobody else. This is taken to
jeweler, who bends 1t to fit her little
finger and cuts off the superfuous
length.
The ring is not welded together. and
the head of the nail stands for the set

ments say that they bring just as much
luck as horseshoe itself hung over the
