The Example Ought to Do Good.

The action of State Attorney Robert
| G.. Bacon of this town in causing the ar
rest and fining of Brattleboro physician
this week on the charge of issuing liquor
prescriptions when there was reason to
| believe that the liquor was not to be used
| for medicinal purposes, ought to result IN
checking a practice which has existed In
Brattleboro a long time. MIR. Bacon has
been reasonably certain for some time
that the liquor prescription privilege was
being abused and he has intimated several
times that exemplary proceedings would
be brought, but the warnings appear to
have had no effect. More than 1000 pre-
scriptions for liquor were issued in Brat
tIehoro and filled in the Brattleboro drug
stores in March, which is the last month
for which records have been returned to
the county clerks office. One physician
the one fined this week, issued 3ll, or over
d per cent of the total, although there
are about 20 other physicians in town. VI
those issued by this one physician l66
were filled by one drug store. Mr.. Bacon
has intimated that If the evil continues
ha will strike in another direction. 1t is
evident that there needs to be statute
renI,iring physicians to make an examlna-
tion of applicants for liquor prescriptions
~ determine for themselves the need OF
tbe liouor. also that the charge for lssu.-
; fmg liduor prescriptions should be fixed
h Is statute, but in the absence of any law
on that phase of the question it is doubt
fnl if the state attorney could dictate on
that noint. 1t is not to be inferred that
ali the Brattleboro physicians or MAJOR
;tv of them are issuing prescriptions OF

o olai their authority in this matter, but

Railroaders Not Satisfied.
To the Sporting Editor,
Brattleboro Reformer::

DTdIU1PDUTU IltIUIIIltT.
On behalf of the railroad baseball team
which met defeat at the hands of Burke's
Stars on Saturday l wish to challenge the
winners to a return game May 10th on
the same grounds. We feel that we were
beaten fairly but that one swallow does
not make a drunkard and that one de-
feat does not necessarily mean that we
are dead ones. While we have no excuses
to make we feel that our spring practice
trip to Vernon was not as successful as
we hoped on account of the backward
spring and that as soon as our peerless
ball tossers get the stiffness out of their
anatomies we will be in shape to give our
opponents a run for their money.
Yours truly,
o. j. Rowe, agent.
