The Church in Politics.

A discussion has arisen in the state
over the action of the state convention
at the meeting in Burlington last sum-
mer in passing the resolution on TEN.
perance. The st. Adams Messenger
takes the matter up in its issue of Nov.
and devotes nearly two columns to it,
The Messenger deprecates the idea Of the
church going into politics. Thinks this
matter of political expectancy and not
moral issue.
To this the Londonderry Sitter makes
response:
LET us see. The State of Vermont
grants to certain men, for fee, the privi-
lege OF making drunkards. Now the
question arises shall this policy be con-
tlnued And the Messenger says to the
churches, hands off This isn't your dish.
this is political question. You can act
individually, but suffer not the church
to speak.
The Sitter is firm in the belief that if
the church cannot lift it's voice against
evil, politically or otherwise it had
better 60 out of business. And further,
If the licensing of drunkard IN akingis not
moral question we had better throw
away all pretense of goodness, and take
lessons OF the Messengers Blocks"

The Billboard VS.. the Newspapers.

The associated bill posters and distr.
buffers OF the United States and Canada
are alarmed at the inroads made upon
their business by newspaper advertising
and have been discussing the situation
at their recent meeting in Chicago. This
is good news to all lovers of landscape
which has been defaced in the past by
gigantic sign boards or rock painting,
and also demonstrates that nothing
pays better than newspaper and maya
zine advertising. Some of the largest
advertisers in the country have reduced
billboard and poster appropriation to
patronize the newspapers, and to cite
only one instance the "Force" company
will spend million dollars this winter
to advertise Sunny Jim" in newspapers
and magazines.

The police say that at least one.half of
those arrested this year have been non
| residents, and many Of the Others who
got tangled were on their return trip
from fairs or crcuses, which probably
accounts for the larger number of arrests
during September and October. One
policeman said: Our streets were never
freer from disturbances, night or day,
than at present. They may say what
they please about St. Johnsbury being
lily white town, but so long as condi-
t1ons are as favorable as they are now
we can stand 1t. There isn't cleaner
town in Vermont
Most of St. Johnsbury's trouble over
the administration of the liquor law at
the present time comes from outside, and
were it not for the occasional consequence
OF too liberal Importation of bottle goods
from other towns the local police would
get fat. not from fees, but from lack of
sufficient exercise"
The editor OF the Herald congratulates
the town on the abolishing OF the town
agency and cannot find that any liquor
is illegally sold here now.
Private parties send to Victory, Woods.
vile and even Bradford for their liquor
supplies, but no place in St. Johnsbury is
under suspicion OF harboring contraband
goods offered for sale in secret.
Your correspondent has discovered
disposition in some quarters to make a
strong fight for license next year, but
predictions on the outcome of such
struggle would be meaningless at this
stage of the game.
At Lyndonville two drug store licenses
were issued. Your correspondent heard
some comment on the way they were
run. One druggist sells two bottles of
ale on one physicians prescription. In
order to get half a dozen bottles three
prescriptions are necessary. The new
law has had the effect of stamping out
two or three per cent places.
Caledonia county seems we'll pleased
with prohibition under local option and
your correspondent finds little indication
that repeal movement would find favor
in the eyes of The voters,

Some Observations of the Editor Of the
Rutland Herald.
Editor Green of the Rutland Herald
has been investigating temperance con-
ditions on the east side and came to St.
Johnsbury last week.
After giving the geographical distances
in each direction to license towns the
editor discusses the question as ssho wn
by arrests.
"The statistics of the police depart.
ment certainly make good showing for
the feature OF the new law under which
st. Johnsbury is operating. The total
number of arrests up to this time is SO,
as compared with 54 for a like period
last year. By months, arrests for
drunkenness are as fOllows.-

The rural tree delivery carrier who is

to about two thirds of the amount
