Base Ball league.

The editorial in this paper concerning
the forming of base ball league in this
section of the state was well received as
will be seen by the following endorse
ment in the Barton Monitor.
The above suggestion is a good one
and we heartily second If. The six
towns mentioned are able to put good
base ball teams into the field and the
teams will receive hearty support from
their respective towns. Nearly every
one enjoys a good game of ball and
there is certainly no reason why we
should not have two games a week
through the summer as the GALE
DOMAIN suggests. The time to take
the matter up is right now and we hope
that the Barton boys will get into line
at once. Start the game early, boys, by
passing subscription paper around and
you will find that the people of this
village are ready to give the required
financial backing for first class team.

How it Looks to an Outsider.

The editor of the Barre Telegram is
watching the political situation in St.
mint on ring rule:
According to the st Johnsbury papers
a eltain autoCratic few seem to be
arrogating the. role of bosses in that
town. The cons, quence is that a citi-
Zens' ticket has been put in the field, and
a determined effort will be made to over
turn the 'rirg." When any company OF
men adopt high handed and arbitrary
methods at a caucus. and refuse to
others falr play, it is time that they were
superseded by those who have more of a
spirit of democracy.

The Issue Next Tuesday.

The voters of St. Johnsbury are taking
a tremendous interest in municipal
affairs Just now and the issues in the
local contest have been sharply drawn.
The movement to elect the citizens can
didates is protest against extravagant
management in our town affairs and a
rebuke to caucus tactics. The greatest
American that ever lived, next to Wash
ington, once said, "You can fool all the
people some of the time, and some of the
people>all the time, but you cannot fool
all the people all the time" Lincoln's
great maxim is just as true today as it
was a generation ago. Our people are
getting their eyes opened they are ask
ing questions. and they are drawing
their own conclusions. Taxpayers"
letter is an expression of only one citi
zen's opinion, but he is right in his con-
ciusion that the'people are to blame for
present conditions and the people have
the remedy if they choose to apply it.
The ballot offers the only remedy and it
remains to be seen whether the people
will make use of it next Tuesday along
the lines that the citizens candidates
will work if elected
The citizens candidates are Elisha
May and E. NJ. TAFT, for seIectmen, and
Arthur F. Stone, or school director.

We give in another column the recent
address of Ptreival W. Clement of Rut-
land before the citizens of Windsor, which
is supposed to outline his platform in the
coming gubernatorial contest. Lest any
of our readers might think we are sup
porting Mr.. Clement In his unannounced
campaign we beg to assure them that
he is not our candidate for governor.
Mr. Clement has struck popular chord
in his fight for lower taxes, but he will
find plenty of breakers ahead in the
political sea when he launches his boom
for governor.

The statement last week that a certain
wholesale liquor house was understood
to be ready to furnish FIVE hundred dol
lars towards yes" vote in St. Johns
bury brought out an emphatic protest
from the Montpelier Argus. This alleged
attempt at bribery is characterized by
our contemporary as IAN unwarranted
interference with the affairs of that
municipality that the citizens should re-
sent" The Argus has faith enough in
the average voter to believe that in no
town could enough votes be purchased
to change its decision. and wantseverv
effort oil that sort 'unsparineiy exposed y
We should be sorry indeed to have so
little confidence in our fellows as to dis
agree with the Argus in this particular

st. Johnsbury and the open Saloon.

Two of our west-side contemporaries,
appear to be nervously excited and un-
duly worried over st. Johnsbury's atti-
tude on the liquor question. The GALE
DOMAINS compliments to these anxious
west-siders, with the assurance that St.
Johnsbury people are quite competent to
handle the situation wisely. In spite of
our contemporaries weak attempts at
sarcasm, we are free to confess that. on
the whole, we prefer the ~ ily-white" hue
to that "dark-brow n" color and taste so
where the open saloon thrives. The
CALIFORNIAN will be forgiven by these
two west siders. we hope, for falling to
recognize in the open saloon any of those
angelic, "Iily- white" features or charac-
teristics which would naturally it
a blessing to the community. The re-
cord OF the open saloon points very
plainly the other way. So long as the
local option law is on the statute book,
the CALIFORNIAN is glad to see every
town meSt the question sensibly and
make it's choice. The fact that certain
of our cities and larger towns have al
lowed the saloon full swing does not, in
the slightest degree. prove it a desirable
acquisition, or indicate that it is St.
Iohnsbury's duty to do the same thing.
This town last year made its choice and
voted No" We believe that large
majority of our citizens are satisfied with
the conditions which have prevailed here
since March last, as result of that vote.
We most earnestly hope, and we believe,
that this generally expressed satisfaction
will bring about another substantial
"No" vote on Tuesday next. The exper-
fence OF many another town and city has
proved that the presence of the open
saloon entails moral, social and business
depression, and the CALIFORNIAN believes
that it is talking directly towards the
best il terests of every individual citizen,
and of the town as a whole. when it
urges that the open saloon be kept out
of St. Johnsbury.
