CLOSE or THE LICENSE YEAR.
(From the Rutland uerald)


All the liquor licenses granted in Rut-
land were dated April q. This year will
be mp Sunday. so that when the saloons
and bars close tonight at II O'Clock, they
will close "for good" and Rutland will
start out on an experiment of prohibition
unique in its history. II will be q case
of local-option prohibition, both those
believing in license and IN no-lcensc
being substantially in the same attitude
friends of the law with some show OF
seeing 1t executed properly Tho decree
of the voters of Rutland Is that no
licenses shall be granted for one year
The law thus has the advantage Of the
moral support of n majority of the voters
as recorded a year ago, as we'll as law
abiding citizeAs who voted in favor Of
granting licenses
We note a disposition on all sides to
give the prohibition side of the lopl
option statute a. fair trial. Certainly the
prosecuting officers will not pehnit the
machinery of justice to be nrostituted
by low and discreditable traffic in fees
ard favors. At least this Is our estimate
of those i'll office.
Before the year is over the Legislature
will have had an opportunity to consider
amer dments to the act of 1902. That
measure in many of its details was a
compromise 1t was a session having UNI
usual political features and many points
were neglected in the haste of its prep
aration: and these points the lawyers
have not been slow in discovering. 1t is.
perhaps, as perfect as the average Of
measures drawn to cover new conditions
and to carry out new public policies.
Tho defects of the present act will not
bother Rutland very much during a no.
license year. Thus the outlook is favor
able and the time propitious for the ex-
termination of the liquor traffic in this

GONERNORsHGP GOSSIP.
Hrom tho st. Adams Messenger.


The undorcurrent of gossip at the gath.
cring Of the republican clans in Iiurling-
ton and Montpelier this week appeared
to be, first of all, that there was not the
lively interest that may have been expect
ed throughout the State in the canvass
for the nomination for governor of either
Charles j. Bell of Walden. or Lieut.
Gov. Zed $. stanton of RoXbury. The
stalwart ropublcanism ef those men, the
uscfulpss of their public service. their
high character. all were cordially con
coded on every hand but there was
still well defined and earnest desire ex-
pressed by the little knots of gossps
that the standard bearer who is to lead
the reunited victory of Vermont rcpub-
licanisir to victory in this presidential
campaign should be a Nermontcr whose
personal career, talents, ana tcnpera-
mcnt offer the most likelihood of arous-
ing the enthusiastic support of the rank
and file Of the party and particularly
of the younger element upon whom the
heat and burden of the campaign work
will fan. 1t was considered very doubt
full if Pcrcival W. Clement of Rutland
actually came into the field at all. But, II
| he did, it was the opinion that he would
| be more SUGGEST fully opposed by such a
| man as Joseph a. DeBoer of Montpelier
or James l.. Martin of Brattleboro, than
| by any man now in the field 1t is not
too much TO say that the proposal of De
Iioer's name was especially gratifying
| to the younger members of the party.
But there are still sixty-odd days In
which to thresh this all out. and mean
| while the Republican party OF Nermonl
| is prohting by the first lesson of the
memora biz campaign Of 1900 aud dons
some serious thinking about the kind o

"Ecpublican." in "a communication pub
lishod in this issue, gives some very good
reasons why Henry Ballard of Burling-
ton should be nominated for lieutenant
governor at the coming republican State
convent ION. The position of lieutenant
governor is an important one and care
should be taken in the selection of a can
didate. Good fellows with glad hands
and "pcrpctual smiles" are not wanted

REGARDLESS Of whether he is a farmer, doc
tor, lawyer or lahoring man.

PROTECTION OF ELECTIONS.
The power of the government to
protect the integrity Of the elections
Of it's own officials is inherent and has
been recognized and affirmed by re-
peated declarations OF the Supreme
Court. There is no enemy Of free
government more dangerous and none
so insidiouS as the corruption OF the
electorate. No one defends or excuses
corruption, and it would seem to fol.
low that none would oppose vigorous
measures to eradicate it. recon-
mend the enactment OF law directed
against bribery and corruption in Fed
eral elections. The details OF such q
law may be safely left to the wise
discretion of the Congress. but it
should 20 as far as under the Con.
stitution it is possible to go. and
should include severe penalties
against him who gives or receives
a bribe intended to Influence his act

sions for the publication not only OF
the expenditures for nominations and
elections Of all candidates. but also OF
all contributions received and expen.

suggestions on Alaska, the treat
ment OF the natives and other matters

1t is also recommended that Alaska

It is recommended that better treat

service be raised to the highest degree
Of efficiency by selecting men who are
familiar with trade conditions and
who know something Of the language

penditure continue satisfactory. The
increase of revenue during the year
was s9,358,l8l.10, or 60 per cent, the
total receipts amounting to Sl43,SSz,'
624.34. The expenditures were sl32.-
362,116.70. an increase Of about 9 per
cent over the previous year, beng
thus S8,979,492.36 in excess OF the
current revenue Included in these
expenditures was total appropriation
OF $l2,956, ,63735 for the continuation
and extension Of the rural free'deilV'
cry service which was an increase
of s4,902,237.35 over the amount eX'
pended for this purpose in the pre-
ceding fiscal year. Large as this ex'
penditure has been the beneficent re-
suits attained in extending the free
distribution OF mails to the residents
of rural districts have justified the
wisdom of the outlay. Statistics
brought down to the lst OF OCTOBER,
1904, show that on that date there
were 27,l38 rural routes established.
serving approximately 100000 OF
people in rural districts remote from
postoffices. and that there were pend
ing at that time $3.50 petitions for the
establishment of new rural routes
Unquestionably some part of the gen
erai increase in receipts is due to the
increased postal facilities WHICH the
rural service has afforded. The reFe-
nues have also been aided greatly BY
amendments in the classification OF
mail matter, and the curtallment OF
abuses of the second-class mailing
privilege. The average increase IN
the volume of mail matter for the
period beginning with 1902 and end
ing June. 1905 (that portion for 1905
being estimated), is 40.47 per cent.
as compared with 25:46 per cent for
the period Immediately preceding.
and 1892 for the four-year period I'M
mediately preceding that.
ExTRAvAGANcE IN PRINTING.
| call your attention to the great
extravaganza in printing and binding
Government publications. and especi-
ally to the fact that altogether too
many of these publications are print
ed. There is a constant tendency To-
increase their number and their vol
ume. 1t is an undcrstatcment to say
that no appreciable harm would be
caused by, and substantial benefit
would accure from, decreasing the
amount Of printing now done by at
least one-half Probably the great
majority of the Government reports
and the like now printed are never
read at all, and furthermore the print.
ing of much Of the material contained
in many of the remaining ones serves
no useful purpose whatever.
CURRENCY.
The attention Of Congress should be
especially given to the currency ques-
ton, and that the standing committees
on the matter in the two Houses
charged with the duty. take up the
matter Of our currency and see wheth-
er it is not possible to secure an
agreement in the business world for
bettering the system; the committees
should consider the question of the
retirement of the greenbacks and the
problem OF securing in our currency
such elasticity as is consistent with
safety. Every silver dollar should be
