License Difficulties Accommodating.

The state Y. NJ. G. A., it is said, are
stirring themselves to be ready to meet
and counterfeit the "evil influence" to
which young men will soon be exposed
by the "open saloon If difficulties
in the way of issuing licenses continue
to pile up, however, that danger will
soon be infinitesimal Rutland can find
few places for saloons on account of
the school and church clause which is
said to interfere similarly in most of
the larger towns. In Barre, the license
board is puzzling over the question of
whether the term Church" includes
the Christian Science organization, and
whether it should be interpreted in the
sense of a building or an organization.
In Barre, also, where license appli-
cants are numerous, it was argued that
each man IN thousand of population
could have all the seven licenses if he
wished and have them count as only one.
The commissioners, however, decided
against that.
In Burlington. the commissioners
struck snag in regard to issuing Sec
ond class licenses to druggists, for
whom the law provides a special Ii
cense The lawyers of the city were
divided in their opinions on this
question. but Senators Russell and
Emory think the intent of the legis-
lative committee was that druggists
should take out none but druggists IL
censes. The trouble is, the Burling-
ton druggists want second class Ii
censes and don't want those of the
fifth class This point of uncertainty
in the new law is one of some impor-
lance to all the larger towns of the
stats, as the druggists licenses are not
included in the number allowed by
law and any number of them can be
granted.
And so the difficulties multiply.
Those who thought the anxieties and
bewilderments of the license question
were ended with the passage of the
law will evidently be disappointed.

The position taken and the decis-
ions made by Brattleboro's board of Ii
cense commissioners are most credit
able to their good sense and judgment
and an Indication that they have the
towns best interests at heart. Brat
tleboro does not want saloons; but she
does want the liquor traffic controlled
in the best manner possible, so that
while no proper right or convenience
of the public is infringed upon, the
community is still protected from the
evils of the abuse of the use of liquor.

The officer in charge Of the United
States recruiting station at Boston,
states that the young men from this
state who enlist are an exceptionally
fine body of men. The pure air, water
and healthy climate Of Vermont helps
breed fine men and women, as well as
fine horses, cattle and sheep No state
can do better than Vermont in this
line. This is an infant industry that
should be developed more extensively.

The increase in pay for the nurses at
the state hospital at Waterbury prob
ably does not carry with 1T provision
that no more patients will be scaldded
to death, but it undoubtedly does mean
that there will be more efficient assist
ants employed. And for these reasons
that more capable assistants can be
engaged and that they will remain
longer in the service. If we mistake
not one of the chief difficulties in the
situation is that the help is constantly
changing, thereby impairing the effic-
iency of the institution. No undertak-
ing is better off for constant changes
in its working force. And this act OF
the trustees in raising the pay OF the
assistants ought to work for the advan
tage of the state asylum. Barre Times.
Vermont apple orchards may go to a
premium under the operation of the
new liquor law, if there is a market
for cider by the barrel Of 30 full gal
Ions. The law permits the farmer to
sell cider from his own apples, by the
barrel, if the stuff is not drank on the
premises, and there may be high OF
low percentage Of alcohol in the cider
the degrees of hardness don't count.
Under the provision of the law there is
likely to be considerable "pizen' un,
loaded on the public. Beer is barred
out except in towns voting for license,
but here is "hard" cider-as powerful
and benumbing beverage as there Is
on the list Of intoxicants-made as
free as sunshine. The case seems te
call for special session OF the legisla'
ture. Woodstock Age.

Secretary Bell of the state board of

situation on farms IN Vermont is not
encouraging. Farmers must pay 81. 30
per day for work which, three years

scarce. The eight or ten hour move
ment is not practicable on farms and is
not popular. 1t seems a pity, consid-
ering the great cry for employment
which is constantly going up from the
cities, that some way cannot be found
to supply the New England demand
for farm help. 1t may be partly our
own fault that seekers for work would

about our abandoned farms" as pos

of agriculture is preparing pamphlets

state, which will be mailed to all such

preciable increase of population dur
