The last number of the outlook
New York; contains a brief resume
of the first years workings of the To-
cal option law in Vermont, which
reaches the same conclusions as the
article recently published in the Re-
former. The outlook says that the
moral gain under local option is per-
haps best shown in the elimination
of what District Attorney jerome
calls the administrative lie that APP
peared in the town agency traffic pro-
vided by the old law" The conclusion
is that the Vermont result seems TO
show that law that deals with the
utmost severity with traffic outside
the license lines is capable of en-
forcement because the moral senti-
ment and the obvious interests Of
the community can alike be rallied to
its support" An opinion in the Out
look is chiefly more valuable than one
in most other publications because so
far as we know no one has yet insin-
uated that the editor of the Outlook
was dominated by the rum power

The Democratic Convention.

The Vermont democrats in conven-
ton at Burlington this week have set
a hot pace for the republicans in their
nominations for state offices. Eli ii.
Porter, nominee for governor. is man
of ability, which has been recognized
by his own town. Wilmington, and
which is admitted throughout his
own county. His further recognition
by his party in the state is tribute
to his worth and an honor to this sec
ton. No good democrat and no inde-
pendent voter who objects to the NOM
inees of the other parties need feel
ashamed to vote for Mr. Porter and
the rest of the ticket.
Under the circumstances existing in
regard to the presidential nomination
the refusal to instruct the delegates to
the national convention is at least ex-
Incident. There is little doubt however
that the leading sentiment of the par
tv in Vermont is for Parker.
The platform is a strong one; it at
lacks the republican party where 1t is
weakest and demands definite action
on many points admitted by all good
citizens to be faulty. II is UP TO the
republican convention TO make good by
strong candidates and as strong a
platform and to stand by the platform
when made

The proposal of several of the lead
ing local churches and the Young
Mems Christian association TO unite
in an effort to do something for relig-
ious work in Brattleboro apart from
what is regularly done in the various
church buildings savors of a willing
ness to lay aside sectarianism and
dogma and get down TO the underly-
ing principles of religion. This is per-
haps not uncommon in these days of
the twentieth century, but the man.
ner in which the new movement is to
be naugurated is new TO Brattleboro

alton of every Christian citizen,
whether a member of the church or
ganizations or of the association or of
neither. Open-air meetings on the
common during the months of July
and August every Sunday evening,
addressed by different speakers and
with music of the best, are free from
the objections felt by many in regard
to attendance at the churches, espec-
iallv during the hot weather. This
plan has been followed by Christian
leaders in other towns and cities with
great success. and viii commend it.
