Reilly TO an old acquaintance whom
he happened to meet the last time he

a hobby with him, Il know the dates

Reilly. with half-quizzical smile.

painters Vandyke and Velasquez were
born in the same year, 1899? Yes. and
Cromwell, too, was born that year, one
year before Charles l., whose head he

1T certainly locks that way, said
Reilly, hut there is one date that 1

Vote! Vote! Vote!

The one word we have to say to
the voters of Windham county, look
ing toward next Tuesday is to VOTE.
Whatever your convictions are,
whichever way you may mean to cast
your ballot, whether yes or no, wheth-
er for prohibition or for license, your
duty is plain. Go to the polls and
vote The purpose of next Tues
days referendum is to find out what
the people of Vermont want as be-
tween license and prohibition. And
the thing that is necessary to make
the decision conclusive-to make the
decision decide-is full vote
With respect to fixing the policy of
the state on a vital question the vote
of every man next Tuesday will be
the most important vote which he
has ever cast. 1t is not alone the
duty Of your neighbor to vote, or of
the voters in the next town, or in
the next school district. 1t is your
own individual duty. If a mans rea-
son and deliberate conclusion have
decided him to vote yes, as indicat-
ing what he believes to be the best
policy for the state, we have no word
of condemnation for him. We think he
Is mistaken, we think he will regret
his action, but we give his conviction
the same respect that we ask for our
own. If there is any class of men
with whom we have no patience, and
for whom we entertain no respect, it
is those who professedly believe in
prohibition, but who fail to show their
cOlors or to take the trouble to go to
the polls and make their belief count.
1t is not a time for halfheartedness
on the part of any man who believes
that prohibition is the best way to
control the liquor traffic in Vermont.
The indications show that the current
of public sentiment is setting strongly
against the license law, and there
are encouraging reasons for believing
that with a full vote the noes will
carry the day by good majority. In
any case, 1t is safe TO say that, the
larger the vote, the stronger in pro-
portion will be the noes. And let
this be remembered: 1t is a time, al
most as never before, when the vote
of every man on a hill farm or in
remote school district will count
equally with that of the resident of
the most populous section.
Our word, then, to those who be-
lieve in sustaining the present law,
is 10 go to the polls, whatever it takes
of time or trouble, and vote. If you
neglect your duty, your mouth is shut
forever after upon the result or the
means used to obtain it,

Speak for Bennington, Please.

OF the twenty to thirty successful and
prosperous liquor dealers in town under
the prohibitory law, more than half are
opposed to the new license law. I'm
der the new law practically all of these
must go out of business, so they cor
daily join hands with the prohibition
lists and other good folk who think that
thirty unlicensed drinking places rum
ming nights days and Sundays without
control or restraint are better for Ben
nington than eight licensed places under
direct municipal control and closed
nights, holidays and Sundays. And If
The Phoenix were a little nearer We
would whisper the names of two or three
liquor sellers right in the beautiful town
of Brattleboro who are quietly working
their friends and customers to vote
against the law for the same reason.
The Phoenix has a right to its opinions
but to the Banner and Reformer ii looks
as though the Brattleboro paper were
talking from its perch without any ade-
quate knowledge of conditions as they
actually eXist.-LBennington Banner and
Reformer.
Our esteemed double barreled con-
temporary may know of conditions
as they actually exist" in Benning-
ton. but it is playing to the gallery
gods of it's own constituency in its
reference to Brattleboro. If it can
find two or three liquor sellers" in
Brattleboro at the present time it will
be obliged to take a more devious
course into the ways that are dark
than is known to most Brattleboro
people. So far as the general public
knows the prohibitory law is en-
forced in Brattleboro now, and has
been enforced for more than year
past. 1t is noticeable in this section
that the former liquor sellers-men
who have been fined for selling-are
strenuous advocates of the license
law. Our sympathy is extended to
the town which has twenty to thirty
successful and prosperous liquor sell
lers." Bennington may want high
license, but we can also imagine some
other things that SHE needs, among
them a Keeley institute, and moral
suasion and liberal education in large
doses.

Banquet of vermonters in Boston.

The Sons and Daughters of Vermont in
Boston held their nth annual meeting
Wednesday evening, the company of $50
filling the large dining room of the Hotel
Vendome. At the business session Col.
Josiah H. Benton was chosen president;
Col. Albert Clarke and James II. Clos
son, vice presidents; Rev. William II.
DAVIS, d. d., chaplain w. II. Sheldon,
secretary and treasurer. The post pran-
dial exercises were started by Judge
Sherman, the retiring president. The
principal speakers were Lieut.. Gov. Guild
of Massachusetts, United States District
Attorney James l.. Martin of Brattleboro,
f. C. Partridge of Proctor. ex-minister TO
Venezuela, and Capt. Hobson, the hero
of the sinking of the Merrimac. Pres-
dent Benton discussed at some length
plans for the establishment of a perma-
nent headquarters in Boston for Yer
monters. He outlined plans for a library
devoted especially to histories, biograph-
les and manuscripts relating to Yer
mont and Vermonters, to be used in
connection with the club room.

Local Option and Politics.

The word prohibition acts like the
toreador's dart on the bull in arous-
ing the ire of high license advocates.
But the high license men, except the
small blear-eyed, rum-soaked contin.
gent lost to self respect, when pushed
in argument. will admit that temper
ance is one of the highly desirable
things of life. But where does high
license and local option put temper
ance? And where the rum power? ?
1t puts rum on top and temperance on
the defensive. 1t makes the selling
of rum a constant issue of struggle in
our political affairs. Rev. DR.. George
w. Phillips of Rutland is not one of
the mentally stunted bigots," and he
is not man who speaks simply from
experience with prohibition alone.
He had in mind the law of Massa-
chusetts when he spoke as follows
But my own experience elsewhere
has shown that the license issue is
the most filth provoking question
that can be brought into public af-
fairs. 1t stirs the worst feelings
and sinister judgment of men, utter
ly reckless of what they say or do to
get their preferred and protected
trade installed in community. Our
proposed scheme of license introduces
every year in each town and city a
fight in which no decent man cares
to take a hand and where the worst
passions play the major parts. Few

\ strange scandal in Congress has
for its central figure Mr.. Lessler. a
Republican representing the seventh
district of New York. He claimed
that an attempt had been made to
bribe him to prevent his opposition

that Philip Doblin had come to him.

laugh, superintendent of elections in

of the Holland boat, and said that
friends of the Holland company might
make trouble for Lessler in getting
another election. Doblin testified
on Saturday before a House sub-com-
mittee, corroborating Lessler's state
'ments, but when he appeared Mon.
day he swore that Quigg was en-
tirely innocent in the matter and that
he had been induced by Lessler to
make the statements on Saturday and
that he had unwittingly gone too far

sler's scheme in perpetrating the
story, according to Doblin, was to Sc
cure political rehabilitation.
