Sherlock Holmes Comes;Back.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle left us in

Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur has now
written especially for Golfers Weekly a
new series of stories, connected, though
each complete in itself, begun last week
with 1.-The Adventure of the Empty

to Watson as follows:
"Maybe you collect yourself sir; here's

them. With five volumes you could

the scientific men. Even the justice
courts in Chicago have done that. What
the etymologists and photographers de-
eide is one thing; what the courts decide
may be quite a different thing. A man
who is under undue or unnatural elation,
exhiliration or excitement, as a result of
drinking alcoholic stimulauts, is sup
posed to be "intoxicated." Etymologi-
cally speaking, he is intoxicated whether
he is dead drunk" or unnaturally ex-
cited or elated.
But this is not the view of the United
States district court of Vermont. The
man who imagines that he has acquired
real lag" on an investment of few
cents may not have reached the second
degree. He is laboring under an errone-
I Gus impression if he thinks he is intox-
icated. He is only on the borderland of
plain drunk, within the meaning of
the law.
In other words, no man is fully intoX-
icated until he has taken the third
degree" and he has not taken the third
degree until he is completely "laid out. ="
A confused notion as to when a man is
intoxicated has led to many disagreeable
and embarrassing complications. 1t is
well to have the matter clarified by the
les rned Vermont jurist.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

1T A BEAUTIFUL LAW ALL AROUND.
The Bennington Banner and Reformer
says: The druggists license feature of
our liquor law evidently works spec
tacularly in some places. AS a rule the
sales have been notably small and the
profits scarcely enough to pay the small
fee. In Island Pond, however. for the
three months ending August 4th, there
We're 1,135 druggists sales. One physi-
clan gave orders for | ,5lj such sales.
1t was not to be expected that those who
had attained high degree of proficiency
under prohibition would forget their
cunning in less than year"
1t is not to be expected that there
would be much use for the druggist
license in towns provided with either
first or a second class license We do
not know, but presume that Island Pond
is no license town, with an accommo-
dating license commission, physician
and druggist-with possibly ''divy" in
the profits.
1t is not fair, however, to lay the
blame on the prohibitory law The men
who are now selling liquor under the
present law are very largely those who
violated the prohiDitory law-and the
fact that they violated the law is en-
tirely to their discredit and not that of
the law itself. Such people never forget
their cunning, but are dishonest by
nature. Dandy Mirror.

The notorious Sam Parks, the labor
delegate who was convicted of black
convention of the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Metal Workers. He
is smooth, slick talker and made the
delegates believe he was martyr. This
is one of the worst blows organized labor
has received this year. When such men
are sustained, when membership in the
state militia is forbidden, and the courts
are attacked by labor leaders, organized
labor can expect very little sympathy or
aid from the general public until such
leaders and utterances are repudiated.

The Burlington News says: IF liquors
are to be sold legally they should be
pure. The law provides a way to prac-
tically guarantee their purity. Its exc
cution is in the hands of the officers.
Are the license commissioners and other
officers of Burlington and other license
towns doing their duty? If so, how
many samples of iGuor-purchased
without the knowledge of the licensee
that they We're to be examined have
been tested for their purity III this city?
1t needs no special appropriation to test
liquors. The laboratory belongs to the
state and tests them free. The officers
whose duty it is to look after it get
regular pay for their work. The law
must be honestly, fairly and faithfully
administered in this as well as in other
respects"
The Bellows Falls Times adds that
Rockingham can go Burlington one
better; samples of liquor have been
tested. but none outside of the board of
commissioners are any the wiser"
From the effect of the Dandy brand of
liquor, as seen here, there would seem
to be little in it to commend it, either
for medical purposes or as a beverage.

The State Fair"

ut is about time for the citizens of
Vermont to make protest against such
an exhibition as was held in Rutland
this year being called state fair. If
Rutland wishes to father it and call it a
city fair, or even Rutland county fair,
that is the business of the people of that
section. But to make the state stand
for so-called agricultural exhibition of
mediocre character, where a general
gathering of gamblers and swindlers was
permitted because they divided with the
organization. by paying large privilege
fees, is not calculated to add to the re-
putation of Vermont" says the North
field News.
eff the management has said, as re.
ported, that fair cannot be run without
the income from these fake concerns,
and really believes this statement, it
should have visited Mortified last week.
1t would have found fair in this valley
that was clean and wholesome without
an Objectionable feature on,the grounds.
Not only this, but it would have learned
that the officers of the Dog River Valley
Fair association have made clean fairs
almost a hobby from the inception of
the organization-an no one will deny
that it has been success financially and
in point of longevity, being today more
prosperous than ever before.
Estate support, which is advocated
largely from Rutland, is unneces-
sary. The farmers would support a
state fair association under right man.
agement with location more central, to
such an extent as to make subsidy
uncalled for.
1T cannot be expected, however, that
show such as has been given in Rut-
land will attract the farmers of the state.
1t will take something more to interest
them than merely the unwarranted
assumption of the name of the state
agricultural fair"

The Lyndonville journal has a sensible
article on Local PRIDE during the
course of which it says, THE pride
which a man naturally feels for his
birthplace, for his town, his state and
his country, is perfectly legitimate. Its
reflex action upon the community has
the same effect that self-respect has
upon the character of the individual.
If town or village hopes for prosperity,
it must believe in itself. If its citizens
never have a good word to say for it,
even if a small part of them are con-
stantly running it down, prosperity will
pass by on the other side But while
we all realize that certain amount of
local pride is a commendable thing, it
must be understood that local pride can
be carried to a point where it ceases to
be a virtue and becomes instead bit of
bigotry which is hardly pardonable, says
the Barre Times. One may have a
feeling of pride in ones state or town
and may talk up the advantages which
they possess and can do so without
giving offence. But when you do the
talking do not talk as if there were no
other town or state except your own,
Such an action is offensive in the ex-
IRENE.

DIR. Edward T. Devine's illustra ted re-
view of the achievements of the Low
administration in promoting the welfare
of the masses in New York is at once a
mastery argument for the continuance
of the reform city government in power
and message of encouragement to
municipal reformers everywhere who
are striving for social betterment in their
various communities. Another question
that vitality concerns the American
public is the education of our rural
population. In the October Review this
subject is ably presented in two articles,
one by Professor Wilet NJ. Hayes, of
the University of Minnesota. on "Our
Farmer Youth and the Public Schools"
and a brief illustrated record of actual
experiments in Learning by Doing,
for the Farmer Boy" by superintendent
Kern, of Illinois. A clear setting forth
of the arguments for trade reciprocity
between the United States and Canada,
written with reference to Mr.. Chamber
lain's British zollverein project, is given
by Mr.. Eugene G.. Hay. The editor in
1.-The Progress of the World" deals with
such topics as Mr.. Chamberlain's resig-
nation, the Alaska Boundry Tribunal
Colombia's rejection of the Panama
Canal treaty, and the recent political
progress of Mexico. In no other periodi-
cal are so many matters of current his

Whv Men Fail.

In one of the great public libraries of
Chicago is kept a book in which men
out of work, or who have failed to
succeed are requested to state briefly
the reasons for such failure.
The following are a few reasons and
we hope every young man and woman
will read them carefully and then sit
down and think them over. AS the
sailor who follows his chart avoids ship
wreck so others can avoid failure by
avoiding the mistakes of others:
/. Didn't save whatI earned"
2. Didn't as boy realize the value
of an education
3. "If had taken better care of my
money l would be in better health and
morals"
4. "Did not realize the importance of
sticking to one kind of employment.
5. "The greatest blunder of my life
was not to perfect myself in one of the
lines of business l started out to
learn"
6. "The greatest blunder of my life
was when | took my first drink.
T. My greatest blunder was when I
left school in the fifth grade"

M on kton's License Record.

That the people of Vermont appreciate
humor, there is no doubt says cores
pendent of the Daily News. Vermonters
are, to quite an extent, humorists, as
was plainly shown Thursday by the
action of the voters of the town of
Monkton, who held a town meeting that
day to determine the kind> of liquor
licenses the town may grant. In June
1902, at the caucus held to elect dele
gates to the republican state convention,
a ma jorfty of the voters decided to send
Proctor delegates. At the election in
September following Mccullough re-
ceived 139 votes against 100. In Febru-
airy 1903, when the vote on the referen-
dun was taken. the vote stood: In favor.
"A: against, 1902. At the annual town
meeting in March the town voted to
grant licenses. y few weeks ago two
applicatons-C. h. Drew and Dustin
Barrows-were filed with the liquor
commissioners, both for a second class
license. The hearing on these applicat-
ions was set for September 26 at p. m.
Then it occurred to six voters that the
law gave them the privilege of petition
ing for a special town meeting to deter
mine the kind of licenses to be granted.
The meeting was held and the result was
in favor of granting licenses "for the
sale of beer or matted liquors only"
The result of the vote of course knocks
the applications for a second class license
"higher than Gilroy's kite" and DEM
onstrates that Monkton contains some
politicians and many practical jokers.
a second class or bottle license in Monk
ton would be paying piece of property,
but third or seventh class license
would hardly pay. The former would
draw from Hinesburgh, Ferrisburgh and
Nergennes, as it would be the nearest
place to procure it by the bottle without
a doctors order. Taken as whole.
Monkton voters have been decidedly
erratic the past fifteen months.
