The Barre Times and the St. Adams
Messenger both ask the Monitor why
Westmore is ashamed of its license
vote. Westmore, as town, is con-
scious of guilt in that it's vote did not
speak a true expression of the town
sentiment. A more proper expressio on
possibly would be that the voters are
ashamed of themselves, some voting for
license for the fun of it and not because
they believed in the principle of license,
while many others did not vote who
were opposed to license. Barre or
st. Adams might properly be ashamed
of vote which was the expression of
less than half of its voters, especially
If the result of that vote was a bare
majority for some measure or thing
that the city as whole did not want.
En this case, more properly, the
voters might be ashamed of them
selves. Any voter who does not ex-
press himself on this and other cues.
Eions ought to be ashamed of himself.

The town of Westmore in Orleans
county is said by the Barton Monitor
to be ashamed of it's Eyes" vote on
the licensing of saloons. 1t ought to
be more ashamed of the half of the
voting population which did not have
the sprawl to turn out to the town
meeting. 1t is a poor time now for
Westmore to be ashamed of the result
of its ballot; but the result may have
a good effect on the citizens of the
community by showing them that they
have a civic responsibility to vote one
way or the other on the matters of
public concern which come before
them demanding an expression of
opinion. If Westmore didn't want
license this year, why didn't the
voters see to it that the mo- vote
overwhelmed the Eyes" vote instead
of allowing the latter to predominant
by a small majority? The same
question to any other community
which is so rutted in complacency
that it can't find the time to go out
to the polls on an election day. West
