Annoying Insects That Infest pIstrIcs
Of Maryland.

Of Maryland.
The champion mosquitoes of the
world. according to a traveller. are
those OF Taylor's island. on the Chop
tank river, Maryland. They are often
half an inch long and are perfectly
black, with white feet. They do not
sing and their bite Is like the sting Of
bee- People who are obliged to 60
out Of doors wear as a protection =
hoop on their heads from which hangs
netting, which is belted to the waist
They carry about them piece Of fat
pork, which when applied to sting
or bite acts as an antidote. The Chop
tank river region is the great market
garden OF Baltimore. Philadelphia and
other Eastern cities. and one theory
to account for the remarkable size Of
the mosquitoes Is that they feed on
the splendid fruits and vegetables
which grow SO luxuriantly there and
are thus fattened to far greater de-
gree than their brothers who live In
less favored localities.

Legal Points Raised About the L.
cense Law.

Ex-Gov. John /. Barstow, of Shel-
he raises a poi~' rcgarding the pro
posed license law a. the effect that the
referendum sections of the act are not
in effect and no procedure can legally
he taken under them for the referen-
dun OF February ,. The first section
OF the referendum provision reads as
follows:
Sec 100 This act shall take ef-
feet on the first Tuesday Of March. \.
ID. 1908. provided that If a majority
of the ballots to be cast as hereinafter
provided shall be no then this act
shall take effect the first Monday in
December a. u. 1906. But as to
Secs 101, 1902. and l0S of this act. il
shall take effect from its passage"
This section Gov Borstow says,
attempts to bring into immediate eff
feet the three referendum sections
which follow it, numbers 101, 102 and
1903. But section 100 itself was omit
ted from that provision and therefore
does not itself become law until the
first Tuesday in March. The ques-
ton raised is, can a section which is
not itself law or has not concurrent
ly become a law bring other sections
into effect. II has been suggested
that Governor Mccullough submit the
question to the judges of the supreme
court for their opinion
Felix w. McGettrick of St Adams,
Democratic candidate for governor in
last years campaign, makes public
through the st. Albans Messenger a
statement in which ne says the point
raised by Ex-Governor Barstow is of
no particular force, but that in his
(McGettrick's) view there is a vital
defect in the fact that sections and
Interpretation OF the law, until the
first Tuesday in March. 1903 Sec
tion 2 says there shall be placed in
the warrant of every town meeting an
article providing for vote on the
question of granting licenses. Sec
tion instructs the secretary of state
to cause the ballots for this vote to
be prepared before the first day of
February A. d. 1903, and annually
thereafter"
McGettrick's point is, in short, that
the statute carries these two sections
into effect before the law itself goes in
to effect, and he goes on to argue
that no official who refused to obey
either of these sections could be pros
ecuted or punished for such refusal.
We think there is no occasion to
worry over the points raised either by
Gov. Barstow or Mr.. McGettrick.
Judges and other experienced lawyers
always give the law a broad inter
pretation on the basis of carrying out
the intent of the legislative body
which enacted it. There is no ques-
tion in this case what the legislature
intended TO do upon these two points
when formulating the license law.

Vote Yes, Younq Man.

In the midst Of all the discussion
as between license and prohibition.
let us not forget entirely the personal
equation. For instance: Did any
young man ever grow to middle life
and full maturity. or TO the time when
he saw the years sloping on toward
old age, and regret that he had made
abstinence from the use of intoxicat-
ing liquors a rule of life? Thousands
beyond the numbering have come TO
that time of their lives and have gone
to their graves filled with vain regret
and biting remorse because they gave
the drink habit a chance to bind them
fast in their early years. However
young man may theoriZe about the
best way to control the liquor traffic,
here is a question of his own control
of himself which he may well consider
on the threshold of this new year.
In all things temperance" is indeed
a good rule of life, but in the use of
intoXicants abstinence is a far better
rule as human society is now put to-
gether. Think this over with your
self young man, and on the referen-
dun question, Shall | leave intoxi-
eating liquor alone, as a beverage,
during the year 1903? vote Yes, and
stick to it. You wont be sorry

AS We See the Situation.

The Phoenix has steadily urged
and it will continue to urge, that the
referendum on the Bird of February
ought to be a time when every voter
in the state expresses his deliberate
and conscientious conclusion as to
whether license or prohibition is the
better way to control the liquor traffic
in Vermont. From our point of view.
while conceding to every man the
right to his own conviction. we deem
it of especial importance that every
man who believes in prohibition shall
be aroused to the courage of his be
lief and the duty of expressing that
belief at the polls. Whatever else a
man may think or do. it is not
time for him to be Indifferent. How
ever peXpleXing or even disheartening
the developments of the past summer
may have been, our own view of what
is best for Vermont in regard to the
control of the liquor traffic has not
changed We do not believe the state
has any use br the open liquor sa-
loon. or that if introduced, it will add
anything to the sobriety the thrift
the happiness. or the sef-respect of
its people Believing this. we are op-
posed to letting the bars down and
letting the saloon in.
1t would be an act of weakness. of
which no real friend OF temperance
will be guilty, to give up the fight in
advance 1t will be no verdict at all
if the case is allowed to go by default
SO far as the prohibition side of the
referendum vote is concerned. the on
ly way to reach conclusive decision
is for every man who believes in the
prohibitory law to have the courage
of his convictions and say so. Let
every legitimate means be used to
arouse interest and awaken con
science and conviction. But leave out
everything which savors of denunci-
alton Of different opinion Put no
man in the wrong because he dis.
agrees with You. We have no wish
to sec a lot Of perfunctory votes cast
for pruhibition--votes that mean moth
ing in the way Of future active support
if the law is sustained We should
have no faith in the efficacy or the en-
duranCe of a forced verdict.
Were We TO sum up our view of the
referendum and the end to be gained,
as representing the best interests OF
the cause of temperance in Vermont,
we should say: Against the day OF the
referendum let the intelligence, the
conscience and the active interest of
every voter who believes in prohibi-
ton hc aroused Let every such voter
go 10 the polls and let every No vote
have behind it the will and the deter
mination OF the voter If you believe
in prohibition say SO. II you do not
believe in it TO the extent that you are
willing TO stand behind the enforce
ment of the law. if endorsed, be hon
est with yourself and with the state
and vote the other way. That's the
referendum We want Wage the bat
tie on this basis and in this spirit, and
then. whether won or lost. We can
abide by the outcome cheerfully
and with good conscience

FIRST SHOT AT BUNKER HILL.
Or. T. G. Simpson of West FairIee
Owns Gun That Fired II.

DIR. r. G. Simpson of West Fairlee
owns the musket from which was
fired the first shot at the battle of Bun
ker Hill Dr.. Simpson was born in
Deerfield, N. H., Oct. 9, 1923. His first
stand behind the door in the room where
his grandfather, Maj. John Simpson,
slept Maj. Simpson enlisted as pri-
vate and took part in the celebrated
battle.
The order given to the Continental SOL
diers in that engagement was to re-
frain from firing until they could see
the whites of the enemy's eyes. Maj.
Simpson being a good shot, could not
resist the temptation to shoot after they
came within range, so he fired, and, it
is said, brought down his man. This
was the signal for opening fire all along
the line, and the engagement became
general.
That the story is true is borne out by
the fact that the major was placed un-
der arrest for disobeying orders, and
was finally court-martialed That this
arrest did not initiate against him is
shown from his subsequent career, as he
rose to distinction and was rapidly pro-
NOTED until he gained the commission of
major. He was young when the engage
meHt LOOK place, ana llVeu more tndn Ou
years after the battle, dying Oct. 2S, 1925,
His house still stands. He was buried
on the farm, but a short time ago his
body was removed 10 the village church
yard.
The farm, decided to him on paper bear
ing the odious English stamp, was left
to his son and wife, John and Hannah
Simpson, including thu historical old
musket and later to the present owner.
1t has never left the Simpson family.
and the present owner has never let it
go out of his hands for a moment. DIR.
Simpson has been. the village physician
in West Fairlee for many years. About
year ago a severe illness caused him
to give up practice.
His only son died short time ago,
and knowing that his years could not
be many, and desiring To continue the
relic in the Simpson family, he has de-
cided to send the old musket to a young
er brother out west, who has children
that will cherish the old gun and keen
II as family heirloom.
This brother, Thomas Simpson, lives
at 6l0 Minnesota ave, Kansas City. The
only inscription TO be found on the mus
ket is IN. 696." and on the bayonet &c.
N. 600" The gun Is not for sale, al
though the doctor has had many fiatter-
ing offers to part with II, but has stead
fastly refused all of them.
