Jessup, Miss Francis Mccarthy and Miss
Bessie Wood was one of the most enjoy
able affairs that has been given in Gus

describe it as it deserves, but each num-
Der was well received and showed very
conclusively that Custer has a large num-
Der of good musicians growing up and
under the skillful direction of Miss Willis
will prove themselves to be equal to
some of the best. 1t is certainly hoped
that an affair Of this nature may come
often.

Senator Vest of Missouri stated re-
Gently that John Sherman did not
write the antitrust law bearing his
name, but that the real author was
ex-senator Edmunds of Vermont.
Mr. Edmunds has written a letter in
answer to query from Leslie's
Weekly, in which he says the Sher-
man bill, reported from the finance
committee, was not the one which
was afterward passed, and that the law
enacted was drawn up by the judiciary
committee, although he does not state
that he was largely responsible for
it. He also states that the so-called
Sherman law is entirely capable of
putting to an end trusts and combina,
tions which interfere with or restrain
commerce among the states, ETC., If
the officers of the government, having
charge of the enforcement of the law,
understand their duty and are willing
to do it. He says that in the famous
Knight test case the bill of complaint
was "unhappily" drawn. He thinks a
what is needed is not so much more
legislation, as competent and earnest
administration Of the laws that exist.

Or. Funk Quoted as Favoring Local
Option.

DR.. |. X Funk. former editor of the
prohibition paper, The Voice. and vice
president OF the American organiza-
ton of the Anti-Saloon league, was
seen by New York Mail and Express
reporter after the result of the refer
eht1um vote in Vermont was known.
and is reported by that paper as say
ing that he was not surprised at the
result, because the prohibitory law
had not been enforced, and this non
enforcement has been a scandal and
created dissatisfaction" The note
worthy part of what Dr.. Funk is quot
ed as saying, as favoring the prin-
ciple of local option, follows:
Personally I favor the work for pro-
hibiton along the lines of local option.
/ do not think it advisable to have a pro-
hibitory law in communities where there
is a heavy majority against it. Hence
it may be found that the best way to
deal with the liquor traffic is by vot-
ing on a local option basis, inasmuch as
there seems to be a substantial ma jority
for it. especially in the large cities In
these cities, L regret to say. the law
does not provide for local option by cleo
ton districts, SO that sections of-each city
may be free from saloons if the voters
wish it. outside the cities the decision
should be by towns, within them by cleo
ton districts. Let us have the verdict
of the jury of the vicinage."
Asked whether or not the defeat
of prohibition in Vermont should be
regarded as a vital blow at prohibit
ton, Doctor Funk said:
Most certainly not. All reforms go
forward by GIBBS and flows like the tide.
This is a season of ebb. There was an
ebb in the movement for the abolition of
slavery in so and 81 which carried the
Missouri compromise, the fugitive slave
law and other pro-savery provisions in
to effect. This was just before the flow
tide that removed slavery from this
country"

p. w. Clement on the Administration
of the New Law.

Before sailing from New York for
Europe last Saturday P. w. Clement
sent a letter on the result of the ref
erendum to Frank w. Agan of Ludlow
who was the candidate for lieutenant
governor on the local option ticket last
September. In this letter Mr.. Glenn
ent said:
The administration of the law should
be On the hands of its friends and every
where where license is adopted as the
regulation great care should be taken in
selecting the commissioners. They shouid
he conservative, well-balanced men of the
highest standing men who will study the
law and undertake its administration ac-
cording to its spirit and having in mind
the interest of the communities in which
they live. Where there is such a choice,
licenses should be put into the hands of
the most responsible and respectable APP
plicants. Then. too, the commissioners
should watch the operation of the law
am sure that no Vermont community
wants to create such dens of vice as have
existed in Vermont under prohibition,
and with the sentiment of the commu-
mites set right and supporting the license
commissioners, they will have no trouble
in the discharge of their duties. In
such a way the law will receive the sup
port, not only of the conservative citizens
who now believe in it, but also of the
great mass of honest prohibitionists who
are really anxious for the welfare OF
their towns and the state"
