We doubt very much whether Gov
ernor Proctor's proposition for state
license board will meet with approval.
Unsatisfactory as is the present plan I'M
der which the appointment of license
commissioners is vested in the assistant
judges of the county courts it is prefer
able to the scheme which the retiring
governor proposed in his recent message.
Objection is made to allowing assistant
judges to appoint commissioners on the
ground that it mixes politics with the
liquor question, and it does to certain
extent. But think what an opportunity
for political machine making would be af-
forded by the state commission plan!
Three men appointed by the governor in
charge of the liquor question in every
town in the state! Certainly this is any
thing but a pleasant prospect to contem-
plate. Under the present arrangement
an unwise selection affects only one town,
but imagine what might happen if a gov
ernor should make a mistake in the Sc
lection of state license commission!

Everyone in the state who has had oc.
casion to seek the aid or protection OF
the Vermont courts will learn with sin
cere regret that Judge James NJ. Tyler is
not to ask reelection by the legislature
this fall. That is the way Judge Tyler
modestly puts it. but the real meaning is
of course that he will refuse to serve
longer as member of the supreme
bench. Appointed by Governor Ormsbee
in 1887 to fill vacancy in the court,
Judge Tyler has since received 10 cleo
lions by the legislature and would be the
unanimous choice of that body for the
remainder of his life provided he were
willing to accept. With the regret at the
loss of such an upright, able and impair
tial Judge, however, will come a feeling
of pleasure to think that Judge Tyler is
so equipped physically and materially as
to be able to enjoy with Mrs. Tyler a
period of wellearned rest and recreation
which he intends to spend in travel in
this and other countries. That he and
his helpmeet may be spared many years
in which to appreciate this pleasure will
be the wish of every resident of Yer
mont.

Doesn't Agree With Fits.
(St. Adams Messenger.)


The Messenger does not share in the
opinion of the attorney general that the
law should be changed so as 'to prohibit
the sale (of liquor) by second class IL
censees to any person other than for his
own use or that of his family, and that
the purchase and distribution of intoxi-
eating liquor by one as agent for another
be prohibited" 1t appreciates the fact
that great deal of mischief may be and
probably is occasioned by the abuse of
this agency" privilege, but at the same
time it believes that a great deal more
mischief and fraud and deceit, with all
their corrupting results, would be occa-
stoned by the repeal of it. This paper
holds it to be sound principle of bust
ness necessity that what man may do
for himself by himself he may do by an
agent To upset such fundamental
right of agency would occasion more
hardship and injustice on occasion than
might be compensated through any Incl
dental small gains in the prevention of
the misuse of liquor. Back of all this, it
must not be forgotten that any radical
attempts to begin to work into the pres
ent law any stringent prohibitory feat
ures that smack of the curtailment of
personal liberty long made obnoxious un-

do well to try the plan which Massa-

any farmer who finds deer destroying

Washington. Aug. 31.--On the theory
that it would not be popular. the
United States mint officials would
probably oppose the making of 10
cent coin, as suggested in ar. editorial
in last Sundays journal.
This is the view taken by r. E..
Preston, active director of the mint bu-
reau Discussing the question, Preston
said:
II don't believe 15-cent coin
would be popular with the people. We
now have the dime and nickel. and
believe the people are satisfied with
them as a means Of making up that
amount.
1.-THE government has tried any num-
Der OF odd coins, which might be
termed, hybrid. and none OF them has
been used generally. For instance.
back in 1892, half-cent coin was au-
thorized. It was in circulation until
1857, and in all that time only &c.,
926.11 worth were coined. When Scent
postage was established in 1851. con-
gress authorized the minting Of a 81
cent silver piece. The act discontinue
ing Its coinage was passed in 1873, and

thought to be the worst kind OF a
nuisance. owing to their size. The

existence from 1866 to 1890. in which
time ss41, 349.4S worth were produced.
The people didn't want them. end their
coinage was discontinued. 1t was the
same thing with the old bronze 2-cent
piece, which was coined from 1864 to
