A Rough Diamond.
[Boston Transcript

Ethan Allen well deserves a monu-
ment at the hands of the Vermonters.
Efforts have been made to show that
he was rough uncouth character. but
the latest researches of historical stu
dents go to show that while he was not
learned man in so far as the pro-
fession of letters was concerned. he was
quite capable of expressing himself in
good. vigorous English. and that he
was animated at all times by the spirit
of liberty whether it was in resisting
encroachments by neighbors on his
land. or by the British on his native
soil He was one of the picturesque
heroes of the revolution. and it is well
that his native state should thus honor
his memory.

Some of the strong prohibition adj
yocates. while not now favorlng IL
cense. are admittedly of the opinion
that conditions are improved under To-
cal option. ANY attempt to rally forces
of prohibition would result in smaller
showing than was made by Fletcher
Proctor in the convention of 1902.
There are more than 200 independent
republics in the state of Vermont, and
the present law has restored to them
their sovereignty While conditions
under license may not be all that pro-
hibitionists or even temperance peo-
pie would desire there is a larger pro-
hibition area in the state today than
it has known for quarter of CEN
fury.

Save Your Apples.

The fact that this years apple crop
is predicted to be less than three-httns
that of last year lends emphasis to
the Reformer editorial of last week
urging Vermont farmers to make
early preparations for extra help,
extra barrels and extra cars-and not
to let apples rot on the ground. as
they have done in past years. because
there was no one to pick them. moth
ing to put them in. and no transport
tation.

The Chicago husband who, after an
over indulgence in liquor, obeyed the
command of his wife to go and drown
himself. may be said to have set an
example in marital obedience to wilful
wives as is indicated by the note he
left; but the unheroic truth would
probably. show, in the after-effects OF
his Jag, the cause of his foolish act.

There is one satisfaction about this
