Vern ont issues.

We notice several editorials in the
ing relating to Vermont issues. The
trouble with the Free Press is that it
is more interested in Free Press issues
than Vermont issues.
1t first discusses some supposed
changes in the State House We hard
ly think that any level headed YER
monter would favor new State House,
but on the other hand practically all
Vermonters might favor the enlarge
ment Of the State House if it was
needed.
The last enlargement which we re-
member was the addition of more room
for the library, which was very
proper and indeed necessary addition.
We do not know of any addition
needed at this time. There may be
parties who might like more room for
display purposes, but in Vermont GER
tainly this class is very few.
The building itself is an excellent one
and though not large, does credit to the
State
We cannot see that the question of
size of the Capital affects the question
of the reduction of the size of the House
of Representatives There are seats
enough for the present number of men,
bers, and therefore the question of their
reduction does not connect with that
of the enlargement of the Capital build
ing.
There is a very excellent represen-
tative chamber, abundantly large enough
to admit a representative from every
town in the State and though the Bur-
lington Free Press might be pleased to
see the influence of its own, or other
larger towns, doubled, we do not be-
leve that the citizens of the State wish
to deprive any town of its representa-
ton.
1t is well known that it has always
been far more easy to check undesirable
legislation in the House than in the
Senate, indeed it can never be done
if the House is well lead. This because
it is more difficult to unduly influence
so large a body, and because it repre-
sents more broadly the interests of the
whole State.

VISITING CARDS.

Names and Messages Used to Be
Scrubbed on Playing Cards.
1t is somewhat curious that so use
full an invention as the visiting card
should have been unknown to society
until comparatively recent times Yet
$50 years ago the carte de visite did
not exist The bellies of the seven
teenth century used nothing in the
shape of a name card, or ticket
as it was afterward called. Invita-
lions to routs and drums as we'll as
across the backs of playing cards
which in those days were made with
a white reverse and innocent of the
intricate pattern familiar to us in
modern times.
Mary Wortley Montagu, a lady of
ton, says the Connoisseur, would be
apt to use a red playing card-a queen
Of hearts-for ordinary social purposes
while an amorous beau inscribed his
name and the most tender of inquiries
on the back Of jack of spades The
great world of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries was small
world. 1t was rigidly exclusive. Liv-
ing in the same quarter of the town,
the quality sent each other scrubbed
messages by the hand of a favorite
page. Society, in a word, was in
formal in the midst Of stately formali
ties, and we have no difficulty in beiev
ing the Comtesse de Boigne when she
tells US that in 1900 Lady Harrington

GOVERNOR ANSrL SPEAKS FROM
PLATFORM OF WHISKEY
BARRELS.

Aiken, July 26.-The Prohibit
ionists laid claim to Martin +. An
sci. Governor of South Carolina, az
he is acknowledged by everybody
to be a local option advocate, b, t
when he paid his visit to Aiken i. t
week, he stood on whiskey plat
form for an hour. 1t came about in
this way. When the committee
were erecting the grand stand on
Main street, from which the Cover
nor was to make an address, they
were puzzled about getting some
thing temporary that would hold up
the platform. Some one suggested
procuring some whiskey barrels
from the county dispensary for the
purpose. as they are strong and du-
rable. The suggestion was carried
out, and the platform built on liquor
barrels.

Gov. Ansel is sending out to all
county dispensary boards copy of
the opinion given by Attorney Gen
eral Lyon regarding the closing Of
the various dispensaries. Gov. An
ael agrees with the opinion by the
attorney general which holds that
there must be an official result of
the vote declared before Tie dispen-
saries can be roorened. Some Of the
county boards have protested on
this ruling but the fact that Gov.
Ansel has adopted hi interpreta-
ton as his official stand means that
the board must either abide by that
ruling or be subject to removal.

Aiken, July 2o.-News has reach

Mr. II. B. Stringfellow, of White
Pond. Mr.. Stringfellow was plough
Ing in his field. About sundown
his horse came to the house, with
out his master, and members of the
family began to search for him. 1t
oon became dark, but torches
were lighted. and the hunt was con-
tinued. Finally his body was found
IN the field, where he had evidently
dropped from his plough handles.
AT the coroner's inquest the verdict
was that he came to his death from
natural causes, the opinion being
that he was afflicted with heart
failure, He had probably been dead
tor some time, and the animal came
home as was his wont about sun
down. He was So years of age, and
unmarried. He resided with Sis
ter, about one mile from the old
Stringfellow mill, near White Pono.

FARMERS HEARD
GLADLY.
LISTENED CLOSELY TO SECRETARY
RlCE'S STORY OF The
BIRDS"

Delmar. July 28.-The farmers
from Lexington. Saluda and Aiken
counties gathered here tod y for
their annual barbecue. which was
prepared ty Mr.. J.. c. Swygert a I'd
was served in large grove.
A number of speakers were pres
ent by invitation. among them were
DR.. Crosson. senator from Lexing-
ton; DIR. E. c. Ridgell. member of
the house from the same county,
and Mr.. James Henry Rice. Jr.. sec
retary of the Audubon society.
Both Drs. Crosson and Ridgell
scored heavily on the dispensary
and both were at pains to prove the
system unsound in morals and un.
profitable from a business stand
point. Both made eloquent appeals
to their auditors to vote out the sys-
tenn and save the youth of the coun-
try.
After the grand barbecue was
served and every one had feasled
the crowd assembled again to hear
MIR. Rice tell the story OF the birds.
1t was evident from the outset that
he had his audience with him. Old
men and boys crowded around the
stand, and the ladies gathered in
front, filling the seats to their capac-
ity. Mr.. Rice showed the value of
the birds to the farmer, showed how
all the States resources in birds,
game and fish were being destroyed
and called ON the farmers to save
the State for themselves and pos
terity. On the license law being ex-
plaised they al favored it and
many wondered why it mad not
been made law already.
There was large crowd present
about equally divided between men
and women. 1t was a fine day from
every point of view and the farm.
ers enjoyed their outing.

dividual or group of individuals have
any validity.
Does prohibition of liquor selling
protect society? In Nashville al
ready the number of daily arrests
has been reduced by more than one
half. The Fourth of July was this
year on Sunday. and that anniver-
sary and Saturday night are favo-
rite excuse for the drunkards to be
drunken. Yet there were less than
half as many men arrested in this
city for offenses growing Out Of ex-
cessive drink in 1909 than in 1908
What evidence could be clearer
than this?
1t proves, in addition to the man
ner in which the welfare of the whole
body polite is promoted by prohi-
bition, that many men drink because
they are exposed to the temptation
offered by the saloons who other
wise would not drink. We know,
too, how destructive barrooms are
to boys. Many youths who ought
to become useful to society are
made instead menace to it because
Of being debauched by the saloon.
Under more primitive conditions of
society the evil tendencies of the
unchecked sale Of intoxicants were
not so clearly identified. But mod
ern society. with its keenness of an
alysis, has taken account OF the bar
room, and the verdict is against it.
The whole liquor traffic is but the
selfjshness of their fellow-men. Lit
tie by little, as they come to grasp
the situation and as the way opens
for them to assert themselves, the
majoritieS of our people are pro-
nounc;ng gainst this piratical bus
iness.
This is, in brief, the why of pre-
hibition. It is a cause in which all
the arguments are on one side. Men
have, it is true long made self-in-
terest wear the garb of an argument;
but thev cannot in thic covo+ry
much longer deceive and exploit
their fellow-citizens,
