THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
LOCAL OPTION

The Significant Change in the Republi-
can State Platform This Year-The
Warning 1t Contains in View of the
Experience of Two Years Ago
The Republican platform, as drafted
by Hon. @. M. Barber, a square and
straightforward man and an earnest be-
lever in local option, read as follows re-
garding the subject:
eve therefore recommend to ths general as
sembly that, having been so amended as to give
force and efficiency to the fundamental prfnci-
SAME BE PURTHER coarIS s1Sai n
In these words it was given out to the
press and so printed IN the Montpelier
Daily Journal on the day Of the Repub-
ican state convention, with the evident
understanding that that was what the
committee ON resolutions had agreed
upon By some process, whereof we
know naught, by the time the platform
was presented to the convention it read
as follows:
"We therefore recommend to the general as
ples.''
That is, the promise that *the same
be further continued in force" was
deliberately and purposely struck
out.
For what earthly purpose-can any
one tell or concieve-except that the
Republican party does not propose to
continue che law, but to leave itself in
shape where the unthinking can SO sup
pose until after election that it has prom
ised, but where it can claim, after cleo
ton, that it is free to resort to tricks like
those of the last legislature, with the
Battell bill, the referendum that it
planned to result in kick into the
empty air, the secret caucuses to lay am
bushes, and the series of amendments
designed to secure its rejection by the
people.
In future issues of this column we will
show by official proof how, but for the
Democrats and Clement men in the last
legislature, no local option law would
have passed at all, but if it had been left
to the Republicans alone, it would
have been killed by vote Of two or
three to one at different stages of it's
progress.
Then the intelligent freemen of Yer
mont may decide whether a party that
SO generally and so shamsless1y violated
its solemn platform promise on this same
subject two years ago, is again to be
trusted with a promise that is no prom
Use. but on its face is proven to be a
tricky substitute for one.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR EACH

What 1t Pays and How for the Luxury
Of Big Republican Majority and Gross
~ One-Sided Partisan Misrule

~ One-Sloed kaII1e4Q 4lsTUle
In 1882 Vermont State

average family of 49-I0
persons, to ss.7el-2
In 1908 Vermont State ex-
penses had become to the
same average family Sl0.52 2-3
Difference that each aver
age family pays 1910 1-6
And let no family, and no voter to
whom the appeal is made to help anoth-
er and bigger Republican majority this
year, imagine for moment, that he es-
capes paying it; for it is the nature OF
t, xes to inevitably distribute themselves
in rents and prices, 80 that there is no
man, however poor, but shares the bur-
den in his living expenses.
And let him not imagine that he is
getting anything in return for this
1915 l-6 extra he is paying annually ;
for neither he nor any human being can
point out anything that the state gets
in return for it all but waste, extrava-
gance, useless multiplication of offices
and commissions and abandonment OF
Home Rule methods.
If he likes 1T and wants more of it,
he can surely get it by continuing to
help roll up Republican majorities.

WHY THERE Is NO SILVER ISSUE.

The Director of the United States
mint tells in figures why the money
question is no longer an issue. IN
1903 the total output Of gold for the
world was s325,527,200 as against
s295.sS9,OoO. In the United States the
production dropped from $SO,0Oo,Ooo
in 1892 to s7S,591.700, due to the labor
troubles in Colorado. This was not
felt, however because the WORLDS IN
crease was thirty million dollars ana
the United States obtained its share OF
the worlds increase. Indeed the bulk
of the gold produced in Alaska and
British America finds it's way to the
United States. Nobody except the Sill
yer mine owners ever advocated free
coinage of silver for the sake OF max
ing a market for silver. but as the
only remedy in sight for the contrac-
ton of the currency. The tremendous
increase of the gold production accom-
pIished the same result as to an en-
largement Of the volume of primary
money that the silver advocates ex-
pected from free coinage of silver.

had some connection with the Warren
Record, which, with every other pa
per in North Carolina, with practical
unanimity, had criticised the Judge.
Mr.. Rodwell however, made an affida-
Wit that he was not responsible for the
editorial that had given offense to
Judge PEBBLES; and as there was a va
cancy in the Clerkship of the Court,
got the endorsement of all the law
yers at the bar, of his political per-
suasion, and of practically all the
leading Democrats of the county for
the place. Judge PEBBLES appointed
another man and gave out the written
statement that he did so because Mr..
Rodwell had defaulted as sheriff and
his bondsmen had been obliged to
make good. The only basis for this
charge was that Mr.. Rodwell was given
a little time to make good his collec-
tons as Sheriff. He paid the county
every cent, and his bondsmen paid
nothing.
1t is about time for Judge PEBBLES
to subside into innocuCus inconspicu-
BUSINESS. Every time he does any
thing startling, people remember all
about him and, in the language of the
street, that is a plenty.

OUGHT TO SING THE SAME TUNE.

Secretary of War Taft, who was
Governor General of the Philippines,
is out making speeches for his chief,
and telling the voters in Ohio that the
Filipinos are now delighted with
American rule and wish no changes in
their relations with this country.
MI Taft was succeeded as Governor
Of the Philippines by Mr.. Wright who
writes quite another story from the
Philippines. The day after Judge
Parker's letter of acceptance came out
promising independence and self-gov-
eminent for the Filipinos. the admin
istration gave out a letter from Gov
ernor Wright in which the present
ruler of the islands (the word ruler"
is the proper imperial title) inveighed
strongly against ell references to treat
ing Filipinos as we have treated the
Cubans because all such utterances
Gncluding, of course, the Democratic
National platform and Judge Parker's
letter. are all published in the Manila
papers and made the text for edi-
torials insisting that the Filipino peo-
pie are now ready to become an indie
pendent nation Therefore Governor
Wright would have all references TO
the spirit of the Declaration Of indie
pendence excluded from newspapers
and public speeches. He does not, in
G,ed, go SO far as to advocate the re-
enactment of the Sedition law, but in
Inmates that all papers and public men
who talk of giving Filipinos the same
chance we gave the Cubans are un-
patriotic and are responsible for all
the war and killing that exists in the
Philippines.
Governor Wright and Ex-Governor
Taft ought to get together and recon-
cile their statements. Both can not be
true. If the Filipinos are delighted"
with American rule and wish no
change in their relations with our
country. then the publication Of the
Declaration of Independence. the
Democratic National platform and
Judge Parker's Letter of Acceptance
cannot bring about conflict in the
Philippine islands, and the people who
oppose the present imperialistic and
American policy are not traitors to
their country as Roosevelt & Co., vir-
tually charge. If the Filipinos are
dissatisfied with being exploited and
treated as Americans were by Great
Britain, as Governor Wright says then
Ex-Governor Taft ought to change the

Looks like Judge PEBBLES has gone
and put his foot in it again. The
clerk of the Superior Court of War
rem county resigned and the judge of
the district has the appointment of
his successor. The Democratic exc
cutive committee of the county and a
numerously signed petition asked for
the appointment of the deputy clerk
Mr.. j. r. RodweIl, but Judge PEBBLES
turned him down and appointed Mr.
Oliver Rowland. In this action he
vas within his rights, but in making
the appointment he gave as his rea-
son that Mr.. RodWell was a defaulter,
when such appears not to be the case
at all and now Mr.. Rodwell is after

matter. Judge PEBBLES would not let
personal feelings bias his judicial
mind. Even those persons who in

affidavit that in their opinion Judge
PEBBLES was not of a judicial tempera-
ment would hardly accuse him of
taking spite out of a man for prefer
ring some one else for Judge especial

test and defeated his opponent All
the same We would like to know what
the judge is going to say about his
charges of defalcation against Mr.
RodWell.
