The selection of Senator Dillingham;
as chairman of the b-committee of
United States Senators to visit Alaska
this summer, and inve ;tigate the re
sources and conditions of that terri
tory with reference TO it's legislative
necessities, is a sufficient evidence of
the Roadway Vermont junior Sena

IL is the beginning, let us hone, of
more such outward manifestations of
his value as a national law-maker. -

STONES AND GLASS HOUSES.

y The Rutland Herald is still worry
ing about st. Johnsbury and from the
oft repeated comment on the license
policy of the town INDUCED in by
that paper, one is prone to believe that
the Herald considers little admoni
ton from we'll balanced source abso-
lutely essential if the scale town is to
maintain it's identity, Or even its ex-
istence. In recent editorial the
Herald says: We do not even yet
see any light breaking in the st.
Johnsbury armament. Here is a
tow enjoying aeon sistent prohibition
record ON paper. which has maintained
an agency that has done liquor bust
ness mounting up into the thousands.
Its agency is gone, the drug stores are
not licen ied and the town is appar
emily dry. Now where is st. Johns.
bury to get supply of liquor? The
drink habit of st. Johnsbury is no
gentle thing of beer and light wines.
Year in and out its liquor agent has
been buying from $50 TO 200 gallons
of pure alcohol per month at about
50 90 per gallon and selling it for "a
per gallon. This constituted practi-
cally half of the agency business. The
alcohol customers of the agency We're
in the habit of splitting it; that is,
diluting the alcohol with water by
adding 100 per cent. Thus nearly
100 gallons of alcohol week was con-
sumed as beverage by prohibition
st. Johnsbury before the closing of
the agency How do these alcohol
drinkers manage it now? 1t is really
a serious question
From this and previous commenF of
the same highly commendable sort, it
is easy to believe that when the Her
aid thinks of st. Johnsbury unpleas-
ant memories are revived, and
there is little wonder, for during the
campaign of last year the local OPP
tion league and its megaphone, the
Herald, made repeated assaults on
and some of the bravest of the brave
from Rutland were repeatedly sent
there to swing the town into line.
But st. John ;bury is accustomed to
entertaining strong men and instead
of being overwhelmed by these
visits, it pursued the even tenor of
its way and voted just as it pleased
on the license question
Now, during that campaign the
Herald was wont to eXpatiate on the
beauties of local-option and to all ap-
pearances was perfectly willing that
the majority should rul, in every
case. st. Johnsbury exercised the
right allowed by the law and voted
overwhelmingly against license, but
it appears that the Herald is unwill-
ing that this shall be so and worries
about it. Has the Herald reiterated
from its position on local-option?
The Journal cannot speak for st.
Johnsbury but it can suggest that it
has navigated its own affairs mighty
successfully in the past, and to all APP
pearances it still has the ability to
continue SO to do; while on the other
hand Rutland is about to enter new
order of things, and it may require all
the ingenuity the Herald can COM
mand to explain the various things
that are sure to happen.
