TO CLOSE VERNON SALOON
Opposition to Liquor Selling Near
Massachusetts Line

Brattleboro, July S.-The only open
bar within radius of many miles of
Brattleboro is In peril. The town of
Vernon voted for license at the last
town meeting but the towns nearby in
Vermont, Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire went dry.
George +. Alderman proprietor OF
the hotel in South Vernon, applied for
him one although there was opposi-
ton by Attorney w. r. Daley of Brat
tleboro. representing l.. w Brown of
Vernon and citizens of Northfield and
Mt. Hermon, Mass, where are located
the Moody schools attended by a
large number of young men.
Mr.. Daley and Deputy Sneriff c. l.
Knapp have served on Mr.. Alderman
a writ of quo warranto. issued by
Chief Justice John W. Rowell of the
Vermont supreme court commanding
him to appear at the October term of
court in Montpelier to show by what
right he is selling liquor. He Is dir
ected to make answer in six days. The
complainant is ordered to take and
file testimony in ten days thereafter.
after which Mr.. Alderman is given
five days in which to file testimony In
rebuttal.
A statute enacted by the last legis-
lature provides that no license shall
be granted to be operated other than
in the principal village or settlement
in town voting license and that If
there is no village the licensed place
shall be created as nearly as possible
to the center of population of the
town and not nearer the state line
than two miles. The complainants
merely claim that by the word village
the statute means an Incorporated vii
lage. not merely a cluster of houses.
There is no incorporated village in
Vernon. They contend that therefore
Mr. Alderman's license is void because
the hotel is within 60 feet of the Mas
sachusetts line and within rs rods Of
the Vermont line. They contend also
That If by the word village is meant
collection of houses or settlement
the license still would be void, as the
principal part of what is called South
Vernon is in Massachusetts,, the state
line running close to the hotel and cut
ting Off all but about % houses.
They further contend that the prin-
cipal settlement in the town is at what
is called Vernon, near the center of
the town, where are located the rail
road station, town hall, and 35 houses.
The town has not voted until recently.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Alderman
threatened to close his hotel unless
the town voted license.

Supreme Court Decisions

| The Bennington Banner says out OF
the first thirteen cases reported in the
SIND Vermont Court Report, that nine
were reversed by the supreme court
This indicates that rs per cent of the
decisions of the judges of the county
courts are wrong. II wants to know
the reason. Perfectly plain, my dear
boy. The judges of the county court
are called upon to decide all manner
of points right off hand and are given
little if any opportunity for careful
consideration of the law involved
while the supreme court judges have
all the law there is bearing on that
point presented to them in the briefs
on the appealed cases and then can
take all the time they wish to care
fully consider the matter. 1t requires
man of quick infallible judgment to
sit as a judge in a county court and
decide points of law OFF hand.-Ver-
gennes Enterprise.
This is true as far as IL goes but
the plain layman is always appalled,
at many of the fine drawn, hairline de-
cisions on which cases are sent back
from the supreme court to be retired.
different from other courts in this re-
spect, and there is no claim that their
decisions are not according to law, but
no lawyer will deny the fact that judi
ges of supreme courts, in years of APP
plication to intricate problems of law
necessarily become experts in their
profession, highly trained specialists
in the unraveling of the finely spun
meshes of the law sometimes mere
technical hair splitting, losing sight
Of the original and final objects of law
which are justice and equity
In Snort they lose sight of the right
or wrong of case In settling techni-
cal questions
One, would say that on the face of it
the judges cut things too fine and add
immensely to the expense of secur
ing justice, no real and permanent
good being secured thereby. which
brings up bill which secured some
support among members of the house
of 1908 and had for its object the sim
plifying of supreme court decisions.
1t sought in effect to forbid the SUI
preme court from reersing a decision
of the inferior courts unless for
cause. which in the opinion of the
court would lead to different YER
dict.
The suggestion was greater by the
lawyer members with howl of ang-
uish and there was good deal of talk
of the affront which might thereby be
offered the supreme court At all ev-
ents the bin was quietly killed and
nothing came of the attempt.
At the same time most plain Yer
monters are heartily tired of situa-
ton which means that any wealthy
litigant may tire out his poorer oppo-
nent in a long drawn out contest, con-
Quoted strictly upon technicalities and
without any special regard for the
right involved.
The Herald is not in Tavor of pass
ing laws to regulate the supreme
court of Vermont, but there must
either be tremendous pressure on
the superior judges or the supreme
court has so little to do that 1t spends
the long, leisurely hours in slicing
molecules and quartering an incest's
eye.
The five judge organization is not
only costly and superhuous but 1t has
a possibility Of being vicious.-Rut-
land Herald.

The chief executive can not in the

response by the graduates.

Then came the singing of the class

words were written by Midshipman
