That enterprising newspaper the
Bellows Falls Times has been interview
ing the prominent citizens of Rocking
ham on the License Act and asking if 1t
should be Endorsed and ratified by the
people Feb. 3. The great majority of the
replies are No. n. q. Williams treasurer
of the Vermont Farm Machine Co. say
he is opposed to the new law because he
does not believe in license, and that it
will be y sad day for Bellows Falls when
there are open saloons around the
square. G. +. Robinson, another promi-
nent manufacturer, is of the same
opinion. M. =. Barry of SaXtons River
says II do not see how such law can
possibly result in good to our people,
and would not vote to license an evil"
Only two men favor it. One gives no
reason, and the other, is simply because
the prohibtory law cannot be enforced :?
Yet no liquor is sold in that town, the
thirsty crossing the river to North Wal

Doduinq The lssue\

"What will the Local Option ehgue do,
support or oppose the license aA? If it
supports the act it should change|its name,
as that act deliberately takes away from three
fourths of the towns in Vermont the right to
choose between license and no license in
section 81, where 1t provides that license shall
be granted in no.license town il per cent. of
the voters want them"
The Middlebury Register is going too far in
repeating this false statement. There is no
provision in the ocal-option bill as claimed by
The Register.-Rutland Herald -,
There is not? Let the act speak for
itself. The following is taken, not from
any newspaper version of the Act but
from the certified copy printed by au-
thority and circulated by the State of
Vermont.
FIFTH CLASS LICENSES IN NON-ILCENsE
TOWNS.
Sec. 81. License of the fifth class may
be granted in towns that vote not TO
license other liquor selling; such license
SHALL be issued by the seletmen on pc
tition of five per cent. OF the legal
voters of the town, and majority of the
practising physicians residing therein !;
said licenses to be issued under all the
conditions, and all the restrictions, in
Guiding advertising, hereinbefore men
toned.
Did the Register prevaricate? Not
much 1t told the truth and the Herald
knew it. This is most outrageous in
vasion of the right of every town to
regulate its own affairs. 1t makes it
mandatory upon the selectmen to grant
licenses, as the Act says "shall be is
sued" not ma e issued. The Register
charges that this section takes the right
away from ninety. five per cent. of the
voters in every no license town to deter
mine whether licenses of this class shall
be issued, and places that power in the
hands of only five per cent, and maj
GRITTY of the practising physicians who
are to derive a revenue from. issuing pre-
scriptions to the thirsty. The Herald
knows that this section makes farce Of
local option, yet it pretends to favor local
option for few of the large towns and
cities that vote TO license the open saloon
only.
Why is this section in the Vermont
license law and not in those of other
states?
The voters IN three-fourths Of the
towns in the State that wonld vote for
"no license" if the Act was acceptable
should work and vote against it and de-
feat it on the Bird day of February.

THE REPORTERS IMPORTANCE
The World Does Not Realize Its De- pepdence Upon the Newspapers.

New York World.
 The vast power and responsibility of the newspaper reporter have never been more strfkingly shown than in the recent career of Captain Bellairs.'' This man, who Is charged by two prominent news papers, one of which employed him for a time, with being a former convict and professional scamp, was in Cuba chief among the men who made history by sending the news, In the Philippines as agent of the Associated Press, he was for two years practically the sole informant of the American people upon the results of the momentous experiment O. govern ing little brown men "otuside of the con stitution." and by sending and coloring all the news from the islands he no doubt contributed more toward making public opinion on the Philippine question than any other man-except MT. Mckinley, the President of the United States.
 Modern progress in the utilization of Journalism by great statesmen who gen. erally denounce 1t has made the "au- thorized statement and the' mere feel er," printed in the public press, do in Europe most of the work of diplomacy and home politics In this country 1t has evolved a new scheme for appealing direct to public opinion which has been well illustrated in President Roosevelt's trip
 The reporters who have attended Mir. Roosevelt to the happy-hunting grounds have not really reported his speeches at all, though millions of people have so supposed. Every editor of a New York newspaper having the Associated Press service had upon his desk, before the President left Washington, all the i'm portant speeches that he has since made. They were all prepared at the White House, carefully printed in good type, closely revised and put in proper numer- ical order.
 It was of course stipulated that no newspaper should use any of these speeches until "released'' by the news Of it's delivery; and no editor would have dreamed of violating this condition. In a word. the speeches were not speeches at all, but compositions, carefully written, carefully revised and doubtless carefully read by cabinet members and political leaders, and criticised by them as to mat

 There is more money in New York than in all Europe" he said. when asked why he came to New York. instead of going to some other large city.
 You see," said the Marquis. II am young. and would like a young and beau- tiful bride with a large dowry. So I came here to find 1t. American girls are beautiful beyond all others"
 Asked if sl00,0O0 would be a fair dowry, he said: ''It would do, but 1t Is not much return for the honor my title brings. My family is nearly $50 years old and has large estates near Naples"
 Passports from Naples signed by the Mayor, say that Arthur, Marquis Du- razzo, is of good moral character and the son of Francois, Marquis of Durazzo a wealthy man of Naples"

Paris, April 2.-Intimate friends oi William K. Vanderbilt. and Mrs. Lewl M.
