senger, we make no concessions what
ever to St. Adams or any other place
when 1t comes to good-looking, we'll

EN-, and they are just a little better in
all these respects than can be found else

BEER AND WHISKEY ADVERTISING
(From the Northfeld News)
Isn't il n fact that about all the
advocates of prohibition among the
Vermont press take all the beer and
whiskey advertising they can secure?
Barre Times.
1t Is n fact that some of the news
papers which stood by the prohibitory
law during the license campaign are to-
day carrying more beer advertising than
any Of the ADLER newspapers which ad-
vocated the new law. Speaking for itself,
however, the reader will not find the ad-
vertising columns of the News very badly
crowded with beer advertisements.
BURLINGTON ALSO RAN SHORT.
(From the Rutland News)
Burlington is also short of money, the
city having deficiency of S61,OW to meet.
While not as badly financed as Rutland
has been, this showing is bad enough.
Both cities will learn n lesson some day
in the wisdom of having only the best
government.
FOREST PRESERVATION.
(From the St. Johnsbury Republican,
Hon. II. G. Thomas of Stowe, Yer
mont's commissioner of fish and game, is
a strong advocate of forest preservation.
He says:
I'VE are just beginning to realize the
Importance of preserving our forests. but
Vermont is altogether too slow in taking
up a matter of such vital interest to her
wealth and prosperity Many States are
doing what Vermont ought to have begun
years ago. Save our forests! With them
Vermont is a beautiful and natural park.
Without them and with dry river beds,
Vermont would amount to nothing"
Vermont and Canada Should Get To-
gethcr against SEEMING I'm Lake
Champaign.
(From the Randolph Herald)
Vermont and Canada ought to get to-
gether and arrange modus vivendi to
prevent seining that would amount to
something. The practice is spelling the
fishing in Lake Champain. hut it is idle
for Vermont to let Canadians scoop in
all the fish while forbidding it to her
own people. Conditions are such that it
Will probably be a long time before
canada Will come to an agreement and
faithfully observe it. The Canadians do
not get much fishing except during the
seining period when they reap IA rich
harvest in Missisquoi Bay.
THEY DID NOT THINK OF THAT.
QFrom the st. Johnsbury Republican,
Those expecting to make political capt.
tai out of Senator Proctors hunting in
cidcnt at Corbin Park, should be sure
OF their ground. They may discover the
wrong coon up a tree.
THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT.
O'rom the st. Adams Messenger)
The University of Vermont opens its
centennial year with excellent prospects.
! nat institution never was in a better
condition to minister to the higher cd
ucational needs of the young people OF
the State than now. Its equipment is
constantly being improved and its faculty
strengthened. The better the patronag3
that the University receives from Yer
mont students, the better will lie the
work can it do. Vermont students do not
need to go farther than our own State
University to acquire good college
training.
1t is to be hoped that the attempt to
raise a centennial fund of $1.O00o0 may
he successful Nermontcrs have right
to feel proud of the work done by this
institution during the past century. 1t
has sent out a great number of useful
men. who have taken an active and help
full part in the work of the world. The
| University deserves, and should receive
the loyal support of all our people, for
it is ono OF Nermonts most valuable as
sets.
