Enforce the Law.

We print, in another column, one of a
number of editorials that have appeared
in state papers urging the enforcement
of the high license law. This is from a
paper that supported high license; but
both those papers which supported high
license and those which did not urge
the thorough enforcement of the law,
and we believe this reflects the temper
of the people throughout the State.
Indeed, the desire for change of law
by the people of the State arose largely
from the observance or lax en-
forcement of the previous law in many
parts of the State.
And this want of enforcement of the
law had become so unsatisfactory to
large numbers of the citizens that unques-
tionably, as we believe, but for the sug-
gestion of an intermediate course. which
seemed to many much more prudent and
promising than that of high license. the
new law would have passed by "A large
majority.
Let the law then be enforced. 1t
will be hard upon those who are
convivially inclined, who not only
pay in the aggregate large sum
for their liquor, but if they drink too
much, or if the quality is poor, heavy
fine in addition. twill, too, and this is
one of the worst features of the
workings of the law,-be still harder
upon the families at home. the mothers
and the children who are waiting for
the necessities and comforts of life,
whilst the money which should buy
them is being squandered at the saloons.
created by the new law. 1t may too be a
little annoying to the licensees to have so
lucrative business interrupted by the ar
rest of its patrons. But there is no ques-
ton that the temper of the people Is for
the enforcement of the law; and if it is
not possible to get good law out of
it they will try again.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS


The increased number of arrests in
those towns that have licensed saloons
sounds bad for the new law, but it is
rather matter of congratuaton that
the "new regime" has more vigilant
authorities and they are bound to show
the world that it does not pay for a man
to get DRINK under any kind of a law.
The rigid enforcement of the law in
Montpelier is serving as a good warning
to those who are wont to believe they
can stow away the booze faster than the
manufacturers can supply it. 1t is to be
expected that there are many rowdies in
Vermont who thought the local option
law was passed for the special purpose of
granting them license to get gloriously
drunk whenever they so desire. 1t will
naturally take several weeks to bring
this class of men "down to earth" and
educate them to the true condition but
it must be done under displine in causing
the arrest of every man who is found in
toxicated. There should be no subter-
fuge about the new law. Let it staud
upon its own merits. If we shield any
of its bad features from the public ga e
the evils will thrive and multiply until
we have more disgusting system than
we had before. Maintain an honest
management and public opinion of its
own accord will crush out the evils.
Nothing will be gained by hesitancy in
arresting drunken man on the ground
that his arrest will cast discredit upon
the license aw.-Barre Telegram.

Mrs Nancy Peck died of old age
(91yrs. } at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. A. ID. Hayward on Thursday of
last week, where she has resided for a
few years. Mrs. Peck has retained i'm
an unusual manner her faculties until
the last. Two or three years ago she
suffered "A partial shock which made it
impossible for her to walk otherwise her
health has been good. She has always
been one of the strong, sound minded
women of her time and cheerful under
all the different circumstance that have
come to her. Her home proper was in
in New Haven near Ferrisburg, Jwhere
her and her husbands life efforts were
given and were well rewarded by suffi-
cient life competency. Her hus-
band dying she came to live with her
daughter by whom she has been faithful
~ and tenderly cared for until the end.
Her funeral was held at the home here
on Sunday. Rev. Smith of the Congre-

home.
We are panied to have to chronicle
the decease of Mrs. Bessie Elliott Rivers
which took place at the home of her
father Edwin Elliott, on Court street,
Middlebury, on Thursday of last week.
She had been sick for little with the pre-
vaiing disease, measles, and was likely
to recover when an affection of the
lungs came on, which, in her enfeebled
condition she was unable to throw off.
Mrs. Rivers has resided in our town
both before and after her marriage and
was universally liked. She was very
fral from her youth up and has been
carefully and tenderly cared for by the
members of the family circle. Her
mother died when she was quite young
and the mothers place has been filled
well by her father and elder sister.
Her marriage with Fred Rivers took
place only two short years ago and the
loss falls heavy upon the family circle.

home in Middlebury ON Saturday and
the remains brought to Maple Grove
cemetery for burial. Rev. f. o. Taylor

Death of j hn n. WalIace

John H. Wallace, whose name is in
delibly connected with the history of the
light-harness horse of America, died
May 3, in his eighty-frst year. having
been born on a farm in Allegheny Co.,
Pa, August 16, 1922. He was of Scotch
descent. In 1915, after marriage, he
took possession of a farm in Muscatine,
Ia, where he resided until 1872. In the
early fifties he was made secretary of
the Iowa State Board of Agriculture,
and soon learned that where question
as to the breeding of horse was con
cerned, there was no authority to which
torefer, and, therefore, became interested
in filling this deficiency. At first his atten-
ton was directed to thoroughbreds, and
in 1867 he published a volume of OF
pages, containing pedigrees and de-
scriptions of ., 1921 stations, numbered in
order, with 345 pages devoted to mares,
and 1913 pages to uneXtended thorough
bred pedigrees. a "trotting supple
ment," of but 50 pages completed the
volume, and the compiler did not dream
that it was in this field that fame would
come to him. The preface to the book
was quite modest, but promised great
things for a second volume, which was
never published. Mr.. Wallace had
moved east in 1872 and it was well
known to him that Col. Sanders d.
Bruceshad begun the compilation of the
first volume of the American Stud Book.
which was published in 1878, and was
compiled on far better plan than that
Of Wallace and it would now be difficult
to obtain a copy of the latter work.
But Mr.. Wallace had, in the mean
time, become more interested in the
trotter, and in 1871 he issued the first
volume of "Wallace's American Trottng
Register" a work which has become
famous throughout the civilized world,
and has reached its fifteenth volume.
The initial one was rather poor thing,
regarded in the light of the present, but
1t served as "a foundation for the really
great work to follow. Vol. ", which
was published in 1882, was the first in
which the STANDARD was used as
condition of registration, and this gene
raj plan has been followed in all succeed
ing volumes.
Wallace's American Trotting Register
was, and is, Il stud book simply. Re
cords of performance We're kept, after
fashion, in the magazine known as
Wallace's Monthly, until 1856, when the
first annual Year Book appeared, and
these publications have now reached the
eighteenth volume.
While man of untiring industry,
excellent system, and one devoted to his
work, the deceased had certain qualities
which created dissatisfaction among the
most influential breeders. He became
rather opnionated, and disposed to force
facts to fit his theories. This dissatis-
faction eliminated in 1891 in the pur-
chase of his entire plant by an associa-
ton for 100000. Large as this price
was, Mr.. Wallace would not have ac-
cepted had he not been shrewd enough
to see that so large a portion of the
breeding community was arraigned
against him that he could scarcely ex-
pect his further work to be remunerative
