Governor Proctor's Message.

Editor Times lin the message of
The retiring governor occurs this state.
ment:
The municipal and other
court expenses, and the expenses of
maintaining Jail, and other penal and
reiormatory institutions are borne by
the state. When town or city votes
license the result is larger number OF
criminal causes. 80 t"sf
Here then is a plain refutation Of a
statement that has been made TO me
or several occasions since ! have been
a resident of the state during the last
two years. viz. that conditions are
greatly improved since the introduction
At the local option" law, a statement
by the way which ! have not accepted
as fact, and now coming from the
highest authority in the state fully
confirms my previously formed opinion.
The question which now confronts me
Is this if the licensing Of the sale Of
liquor increases the number of criminal
causes as the governor states, why is
il he recommends a continuance of a
system that produces a greater number
OF criminals, and requires greater
number of iails. reformatories and
houses Of correction to care for the
criminals thus made? why does not, or
did not his excellency recommend re-
peal Of a law that has az a result IAN
increased number OF criminals!"
In an article in your Mondays issue
! quoted from the New York World
Of Oct End an item, showing that in
two months prohibition had decreased
the internal revenue receipts four mil
lions Of dollars" it is said figures
wont lie;' if this be so, and in this in
stance at least no one will attempt 10
dispute them, then a reduction Of four
millions in internal revenue receipts
would mean decrease of at least
twenty millions of dollars in the amount
Of drink sold, and according to our
most excellent governor, correspond
ing decrease in the number Of criminals
produced.
Now again; if license in Vermont in.
creases the number Of criminals, would
il not be the part of wisdom on our
part to do entirely away with law
that can in any way tend towards the
said increase? leaving out of account
entirely the moral side of the question,
which is by far the greater, is it not
absolute folly for this state to allow
Q law to remain on the statute books
that, according to Coy. Proctor "in.
creases the number Of criminals" or to
quote his exact words again when a
town or city votes license. the result
is a larger number of criminal causes"
1t would seem to me that the part
Of wisdom on the part Of our honorable
legislature would be to do away with
the whole miserable farce Of law, and
return to state prohibition, with proper
laws provided for its rigid enforcement.
Let us have discussion Of this, as
/ believe, the most important recon-
incubation in the most excellent report
Of our most excellent retiring governor.

LAY LIBRARY CORNER STONE.
Papers Sealed in Bellows Falls carue-
gle Building.

Bellows Falls, Oct. 9.--The laying OF
the corner stone OF the new Carnegie
public library occurred yesterday after
noon at 3 o'clock with appropriate ex.
ercises. Hon. A. ~ Swain, president OF
the board of trustees, was master Of
ceremonies and placed sealed copper
box, containing the history of the free
public librory fund prepared by /. ;.
Hayes. and copy Of other important
library records in the niche prepared
for it.
Addresses were made by Principal A.
T.. Tuttle of the high school and G.
W. Osgood.
The local movement for free public
library dates back TO 1882, when H.
brary dramatic ASSOCIATION was formed
and gave a play, the proceeds Of which
formed the nucleus Of the first library
fund. The most enthusiastic and hard
working person in this enterprise was
Edward d. Murphy. deformed man,
who sold popcorn on the Connecticut
river railroad line Procuring a copy Of
the Bellws Falls Times, containing an
account of the play. he placed IL in a
public safe. requesting that whenever
library building was erected in the
town this paper should be deposited in
the corner stone.
Mr.. Murphy did not live 10 see the
contamination Of his work, but his de
sire was fulfilled today, when this
paper was sealed in the copper box
with the other documents.
In 1887 a public library was opened
IN the town hall building. The first
trustees were A. v Swan. l.. NJ, Read.
Prof. II. NJ. wilkins J.. G.. Howard. H..
d. RYDER. II. b, Davis. Dr. +. II. Pet
tengill, J. C.'Chair and Rev. j. NJ
Emery.
The offer TO the town Of $4,000 for a
library building by Andrew Carnegie IN
1905 caused much controversy in the
three town meetings following. A vote
of acceptance was carried only to be
rescinded then carried again last
March. The final building committee
was Myron H. Ray, William j. Boiine
and DR.. Edward Kirkland

of the cakes Of soap missing. The
theft was SO small that the matter was
never reported, and Hamilton had for

the thief, which read:
