Great progress is being made toward
the securing of band for Barre, and
all that is now needed to assure com.
plete success of the venture is the CO.

Gates the desire of the people for that

started is all that is needed. We feel
confident that Barre's ear for music, las

bring out generous response. Digl

The Smallpox Also.
There is another thing TO be taken
into consideration in connection with
adjournment and that is the smallpox
scare growing out OF the exposure by
a Londonderry man of many OF the
members Of the Legislature. The scare
is apparently Just soaking in. II case
should break out here this week, that
is all that is necessary 10 set the leg
islature in a panic, Many physicians
are OF the opinion that Il would have
been much safer il the legislature had
adjourned last week or this week be-
fore any more risk had been run and
among those of this opinion is one of
Montpelier's most skilliul physicians.
Many have been exposed and why run
the risk of getting all exposed beyond
question: is the contention. The dis
case may not DC uue uHlii lnNnhHGlNr
ing week but it may be due certain in
diyiduals before that and then the ex-
posures will be many more.
In connection with this smallpox
scare the announcement TO the House
today by Speaker Cheney was not at
all reassuring. Speaker Cheney told
the House that he had il from the au
thority of a member Of the Senate and
the state board of health as well (pre
sumably Senator Kidder) that MIR.
Landman who came 10 Montpelier last

day undoubtedly had smallpox and that
IL would be miraculous If some meme
bers Of the assembly do not come down
with the disease.
Speaker Cehney urged every member

there probably would not be a reyela-
tion OF the disease this week but that
Il might be expected next week if

HUMAN LIFE SAFER IN VERMONT
HUNTING?

Although there were numerous minor
accidents, only one fatality married the
deer hunting season of 1908, that being
in Williston. While that one fatality
was, of course, distressing, the proper
ton of killed to the number of those who
went hunting was so extremely small
that we may we'll congratulate ourselves
on the outcome of the season. With the
woods filled with persons with rifles,
with every little copse shielding o nerve
tense hunter, with every patch of open
ground watched over from first to last,
it was indeed fortunate that Vermont
passed through the six days with but n
single death from the bullet. The single
fatality did not take place in the woods,
either, but transpired while two hunters
were preparing to 60 into the woods;
and, moreover, we have not heard Of any
rash firing at human beings who were
mistaken for deer, such Incidents as
clouded former hunting seasons. These
signs must indicate an awakening sanity
on the part of the hunters. Having tax
en- warning from mournful events in the
past, hunters, it may possibly be, have
themselves better in hand and they wait
before they shoot, whereas formerly
many were inclined to shoot and then
wait an oftentimes fatal transposition
We hope that the really good record
Of the zoos season was due not to
mere chance, but to actual restraint on
the part of the hunters themselves

EXTREMES IN LIQUOR LEGISLATION
The radicals on the liquor question
have presented to the Vermont legisla-
ture their proposals Of amendment to the
present law Of the state, the proposals
on the one side being to permit wider
freedom In the sale of liquor and those
on the other being to restrict the voice
Of the people in the matter. With
neither of these positions are we in sym
pathy. The idea of county option, or a
county vote whether liquor shall be sold
within such county, is obnoxious in the
extreme, for it yitiatas entirely the
spirit Of the local option method with
which we have become familiar during
thS past few years and which has proven
to be far more satisfactory than the
former system of state prohibition.
County option IS. in fact. but veiied
state prohibition; it represents step
toward former unsatisfactory conditions.
Tie county option measure which was
presented in the legislature yesterday
deserves to be dismissed.
Likewise does the Leary bin deserve
dismissal The Lesry bin represents the
other extreme on the liquor question
and was framed, We suspect, to satisfy a
certain coterie Of club men in Burling-
ton. It proposes to permit incorporated
elubs to sell liquor; presumably to mem
lnrs only, and even SO its scheme has
tendencies which render tho proposed
amendment unsatisfactory. There are a
few other Incorporated clubs or indoes

the Pacific Coast.
Among its many attractions is the
Largest Dancing Pavilion in the World
