The Bennington Banner, in compar'
ing the population Of the larger com
munities of Vermont as it has recent
" been doing, should bear in mind
that st. Adams city and st. Adams
town are one community, generally
speaking. so far as residential and
business interests are concerned, and
are merely set off from one another by
an imaginary political line that runs
between houses on principal street
in some instances. The population of
st. Adams city and town as given by
the last census is 1854, and there have
been gains since then. This would
rank st. Adams above st. Johnsbury,
Brattleboro and Montpelier in the con
temporary 5 list Of eight leading towns,
and not beneath them.

tered individual efforts do not get the
results than an organized pull ought to

any tremendous cxertion to make a
start along some of these lines; and
once a good start is made, further prog

John E. Harris, once Vermont edi

John E. Harris, once a Vermont edi-
tor, now a Washington correspondent,
has exposed his former playmate,
George Harvey. In the Hardwick Ga
zette, which is presided over by Play
mate Harris during its editor S vaca-
ton, the following editorial about Play,
mate Harvey appears:
I have known this prodigy from boy
hood. He was once Peacham CORE
spondent of paper of which I was pro-
prietor. He was substitute editor Of
the st. Johnsbury Caledonian for a
few months when I published paper
in that same godly town, and we fore
gathered confdentially and often. We
iourneyed to Montreal once together, a
week long to be remembered for sun
dry reasons. George confded to me in
those days his desires, ambitions and
methods, particularly the latter, and |
wondered if the nerve l saw and ad
mired even then would ever bear its
expected fruit. 1t has.
There is more of the same kind. Play
mate Harris has little yellow streak
after all. People who live in glass
houses should dress in the dark. Play
mate Harris has some nerve himself.

BROADENING OUT.

II is worthy Of note that the resolu'
t;ons offered at the recent Congrega'
tional convention in Fair Haven in Sc
we're criticism of the present Vermont
local option liquor law, did not prevail
but were tabled in favor of a substitute
resolution requesting the civics com
mittee to investigate conditions and
report to the next Congregational con-
yention. In the discussion which pre-,
coded the adoption of the substitute
resolution the efficacy of the present
law as a temperance measure was de-
Tended by delegates (some of them
ministers) from such towns as Mont
pelier, Rutland, Barre, Ludlow, Bel
lows Falls and Brattleboro In fact,
if we may believe the Fair Haven Era,
the opposition to the present law came
largely from those whom the Era char
acterizes as "the old prohibition war
horses This phrase, we take it, does
not indicate that these opponents of
local option are not entitled to respect
and consideration for their views, but
it does indicate that these views are
held by men who have so long and
earnestly entertained the conviction
that any method of controlling the Ii
quor traffic except state prohibition is
of the Devil, that their attitude is one
of blind devotion to fetch. Their
war cry is, Prohibition! may it always
be right; but, right or wrong, Prohibi-
ton for u.s.
Time was when the Reformer and
one or two others of the state papers
were dubbed champions of the rum
element because they dared to assert
that local option under good laws was
a more effective temperance measure
than state prohibition. Gradually the
sentiment of the state press has fol !
lowed public opinion in this matter, un
til, after five years it is practically i'm
poSSlDlt " HHu olhSiS PdPtA opJCc' /
ing to the new method of control. 1t /
is gratifying to find that the clergy and |
laymen of one of the leading denomina-
tons among Protestants are scarcely !
behind the editors in coming to the con- |
clusion that a law of this kind should |
be judged by its works and not by a
theoretical notion about right and |
wrong. We have every expectation
that the civics committee of the Con-
gregational churches will, if it makes
a fair investigation of the local option
law as a temperance measure in com
parison with the old state law report .
to the next convention that the prin-
ciple of local option is resulting in a
nearer approach to prohibition in
practice than was ever before known
in this state or any other state.
Willingness to discuss such subjects,
and even to take the side that is APP
parently unpopular among his fellows
is notable sign of broadening out on
the part of the Vermont temperance ad-
vocates. The story is told that in the
old days a Windsor county sheriff was
urged to appoint deputy for the rea-
son that he was Temperance man"
Temperance man, indeed" snorted
the sheriff. 81 want temperate man,
not temperance man. The men who
stood up for the present law at Fair
Haven are temperate men and temper
ance men, even if they can no longer
be called "Prohibitionists"

1t is a mighty thin line to draw be-
tween sale of water by a municipality
and the harvesting of ice and the sale
of the same by wholesale. Governor
Guild drew it on the Holyoke bill to
authorize this practice, and the house
sustained him. 1t construes the consti-
tuition as Distinguishing between mu'
nicipal water at 60 degrees and the
same at 25 or less. We greatly doubt
if the courts would do so on a test
Boston Record.
Water and ice are of the same com
position but as far removed from each
other in actual use as eggs and chick
ems. Water has always been neces-
sity. Ice is a luxury that has been
made a necessity by modern methods
of living. There is nothing to prevent
private individuals from going into the
ice business, but water cannot be sup
piled to city houses except through
pipes in the streets. The fact that ice
is frozen water is poor argument for
municipal ice companies. Governor
Guild may not be constitutional law
yer, but he uses common sense in this
case, which is a great deal more valu-
able and scarcer than legal acumen.

A man came into the Reformer of
fee yesterday who claimed to be able
to remember when it was a common oc
currence to have a whole week OF
warm, pleasant weather in June.
There are IS cigar-dealers in this
town who have been stung. The stingol
is a smooth salesman with something
that looks nice. The something is Il eli
gar lighting and cutting machine
"thrown in" with a box of cigars
The machine is an attractive looking
affair of oxidized iron. A cigar is
placed in position, held at both ends, a
lever pressed and the end of the cigar
neatly severed while at the same time
by q pneumatic arrangement blast of
flame lights the weed at the other end
All the merchants were pleased with
edness may be determined by process
of differential calculus to figure out the
proportion of the dealers in town who
invested. The machines were given
with some cigars in a fancy box, on
which was stamped La Amenadad.
The cigars were to sell for 10 cents but
someone made a mistake. The Med
dler is not an expert judge of the weed,
but he knows the difference between n
cigar and the mixture of ragweed, hay
seed and bog-hay, intermixed with glue
and fly paper, that he bought just to
see the machine work. Some of the
machines were longer lived than others
but none are working at the present
time so far as can be determined. The
mortality of the machines began to as
sert itself the second day and their
number has steadily declined since.
Some of the local dealers would like to
meet the smooth gentleman who un-
buckled them from their cash in return

for a union of the Central American
