The rapid increase in crime in Vermont
during the past few months ought to tell
its own story; but IT is not necessary to
speak generally in giving reasons for the
more thorough and impartial enforcement
of the provisions of the license law.
When following the orders of a mayor to
his policemen to exercise great care in
the arrest of persons for intoXication I'M
less they are actually creating a disturb
ance men are set free after having been
arrested for inebriation without the for
mality of a trial; when citizens complain
of drunken men in the public places and
urge denunciation of the nuisance by the
press: when women are insulted on the
streets by drunken men so that they say
they are afraid to be on the streets alone
when an alderman goes to a meeting of
the board drunk and in the presence of a
mayor continually interferes with the or
derby dispatch of business so as to neces-
state frequent rebuke by the president
must one continue to cry peace and i'm
provement " or be liable to the charge OF
opposition to the law?
The time has come when our law -abid-
ing citizens must unite in demanding a
more thorough and impartial enforcement
of the law even though they may be do
ing the work of those who claimed in ad-
vance that the law would enforce itsel
and would be true temperance measure

No New Trial for DohertY.

An order has been received from the
United States supreme court by County
Clerk Smile at Montpelier dsmissing
from the supreme court docket the petit
tion of Charles Doherty. Washington
county murderer, for new trial, and
after five years this case is at last wiped
from the supreme and county court
docket. DohertY was convicted of the
murder of Fred Murphy at Bolton Falls,
Feb. 16, 1899. and was sentenced to be
hanged in December, 1900. Three times
he was respited while his case was be-
fore the supreme court and when that
tribunal finally refused to grant him
new trial Dohertys counsel took the case
to the United States supreme court on
writ of error. While the matter was
pending before that tribunal the legisla
ture of 1902 committed Doherty's sentence
of death to imprisonment for life. DOH
erty is now i'm the state insane asylum
at Waterbury, where he will probably end
his days.

Drinking as a Business Proposition.
[St. Adams Messenger
; the Springfield Reporter:

Says the Springfield Reporter:
And employers can, in Rutland or
anywhere else, cut out the drinking II
they make a rule not to hire only tenn
perate men. Make drunkenness cause
fc, discharge and you will soon weed
them out"
AS a matter of fact the steadily in
creasing demands for modern business
methods for clear-headed thinking and
1.-the muscled action have done more. to
eliminate the drunkard from society and
gradually to increase the tendency to-
ward moderation in the use OF liquors
than all the temperance evangelists and
reform clubs and societies put together.
When a man sees by object lesson or per-
sonal experience that he cannot abuse
liquor and keep his job, too, the tenn
perance problem comes home to him In
a manner that promptly suggests its own
solution.
