In saying that retiring Gov. Proctor
has given Vermont one of the best and
most progressive administrations in the
history Of the state, The News simply
asserts the universal opinion of all who
have followed his work during the past
two years. He retires from public life
but not from the public eye, with the
highest esteem and good will Of his
fellow citizens irrespec 70 party afiil-
iations.
Gov Proctor's retiring message il
clean cut and practical. There II no
chance for its recommendation to be
misunderstood While The News cannot
agree with him in all his recommended
tons, it believes that for the most part
the views Of Gov, Proctor will have the
endorsement of the people An outline
of the message is given in another col
umn.
Gov. Prouty's Inauguration places in
the chair of the chief executive a man
whom The News is confident will do his
best to carry forward the progressive
policies so well begun by his predecessor

will have an opportunity to demonstrate
his ability and there is every good reason

DEMOCRATIC IsfMoLATIoN IN YER.
MONT.

If the Democrats in Vermont did not
occasionally put up party candidate
for office, they would soon lose their
identity. So that probably explains why
Y. A. Bullard Of Burlington and Elisha
May Of st. Johnsbury suffered their
names to be considered against Senator
w. p Dillingham; and candidate for sen.
ator Carroll S. Page, for Vermont's two
position in the upper branch Of the ma
tional assembly. Messrs. Billiard and
May had as much idea that they would
wear the senatorial toga as that they
would be able to fly of their unaided
efforts. It was simply another case Of
the Democratic sacrifice in Vermont to
keep the party from being completely
submerged Messrs. Bullard and May
are deserving of their need of praise for
their immolation.

Local Option in Ohio.

ohio's latest local option campaign,
just now getting under full Roadway,
was started under the county local OPP
ton law, which was passed at the last
session of the legislature. This law
provides that any county, including the
cities and towns contained therein,
may vote as unit on the local option
proposition, upon petition of 35 per cent
OF the vo' ers Of the coutny. The law
became operative on September L. and
the activity on the part of the temper
ance people throughout the state thus
far has proved to be a pleasant sur

During the first eleven days after the
law became operative. twenty diff

ten days is counties where elections

Liquor Licenses Ana Assistant Judges

I
There can be no doubt regarding the
obligation Of the present Legislature
to disassociate the duty OF dealing with
liquor license matters from the courts.
The appointment Of license commission.
ers was vested in the assistant Judges in
the different counties with the idea of
removing the saloon as far as possible
from politics. Under the law as it form
eriy existed the election of aldermen in
cities and selectmen in towns turned in
not a few instances on deals with refer
ence to licenses to sell liquor, and the
crying demand for relief from those con-
ditions resulted in the changeto the pres
ent system.
1t has been discovered that the select
ion Of license commissioners now figures
to CERTAIN extent in the election Of
assistant Judges in certain counties and
the demand for a remedy led the last
State republican convention TO incorp-
crate in its plank a pledge to relieve the
courts Of this incubus.
The majority in the present Legis-
lature. therefore, stands pledged to some
measure of relief in this connection and
the only question is what the change will
be- Few Vermonters win care to see
return to the time when liquor deals
dominated in the selection Of aldermen
and selectmen in certain towns, and the
alternative would seem to BE- a state
