Defeating the Law.
iS,. Albans Messenger.

The esteemed Brattleboro Phoenix says;
The strongest point that the license
advocates ever made in the old days was
that the license fees helped pay the taxes,
but under the Vermont law ~ Il stands nj
present the license fees 80 into the state
treasury. 80 that the saloons are OF no
financial benefit. while they add all their
burden for maintenance and all the &C.
companying evils which come from freer
use OF liquors"
The Messenger does not believe the
strongest argument for license was that the
license fees helped pay the taxes, because
the question involved Is not one Of eco
nomio gain or prudence, but Of the prop.

Congressman D. j. Foster is noted foI
jumping with the cat" A little while
ago he came out openly in opposition to
the reelection of Joseph G. Cannon for
speaker, and the state rang with praises
Of his bravery in thus boarding the Dan
vile, ILL.,, lion. His constituents were
pleased to think of him as an insurgent,
even if he was an eleventh hour insurgent,
and were inclined to forgive his hardness
But for some reason or other the Honor
able David j. disclaims the title. He says
he is neither an insurgent nor near
insurgent. He made such statement on
the floor of the house the other day in a
rather udicrous attempt to reply to some
sarcastic remarks made by Representative
Kitchin of North Carolina about congress
men who were insurgents at home and reg
ulars in Washington. Foster was laughed
at by his associates on account of his
readiness to put on the coat which Kitchin
had fashioned and then claim that it didn't
fit. People at home will be inclined to
view the incident as another demonstration
Of Fosters fondness for straddling. ~

Smoking in Church.

A "Smokers Pavilion attached to
a church is somewhat of a novelty in the
British dominions, although it may not
be unknown in the United States, where
all sorts of daring ecclesiastical expert
ments have been tried "A recent visitor
to Kalgoorlie, the famous western Aus
tralian goldfield, made and proclaimed
this discovery. 1t seems that in the
early years of the goldfeld there were
many diggers dwelling in tents who new.
er burdened themselves with Sunday
clothes, and consequently never both
cred about going to church. Anxious to
attract this class, the minister of the
Congregational church fitted up an open.
air inclosure in which the men could
listen to the services in free and easy
fashion, without being embarrassed
with the formalities of indoor worship.
A large archway was opened up in the
side of the church facing the Enclosure,
and the pulpit was so placed that the
preacher could be heard by both congre.
cations. The idea was successful, and
the "Smo kers' Pavilion (the occu-
pants of the open-air Enclosure exercised

At the present day smoking is common
IN South American churches. A recent
VISITOR to Peru records that in the
Church of La MERGED, Lima, he noticed
one OF the congregation enjoying a cigar
whlle the service was going on. and
through the open door of the sacristv he
caught glimpse of a bishop who was
about to preach indulging in the same
luxury. The preacher was attired in
full Episcopal robes. and had tucked a
under his chin to prevent
these being soiled by ashes. In Lima
Cathedral smoking is so far recognized
that spittoon is placed in each Of the

WANTED: A DRY TOWN.

An active and well.managed campaign
by the no.liccnse advocates resulted Tues
day in a substantial majority against the
sale Of intoxicating liquors in Brattleboro.
Now the important thing is TO make tins
town actually dry for the next twelve
months. The Reiomer believes that the
vote against license would have been much
larger il there had not been strong senti-
ment in opposition TO the free. and'easy
way in which the liquor prescription
traffic has been conducted in this town of
late. II believes that a large number OF
people voted yes because OF their belief
that conditions under no.license were
irregular ii not Illegal. Conditions that
will give rise to such a sentiment should
be allowed to exist no longer. Tuesdays
vote shows conclusively what the majority
OF the people of Brattleboro want, or pre-
tend to want, Ii sincere, every man who
voted no will do his share toward making
impossible the sale locally OF a drop OF
liquor other than what is absolutely neces-
sary for medicinal use. Publication each
month of the number of liquor prescrip-
tons granted by each physician may help;
at any rate, The Reformer will publish |
these figures from now on.

address to the Vermont association OF

No, with all respect to Governor Prouty's
good intention, they do not. Less than 81
per cent of the people of this state engaged
in gainful operations are at work on the

The times have changed in Vermont. 1t
appears to take long time to arouse some
of the most intelligent men of the common

is called the New Vermont" and it brings
its own peculiar problems with it. We

For the Women to Think About
Written Especially for The Reformer by Lydia Eliot

Embroidery on spring and summer gowns
will be more in evidence than ever be-
fore. For cotton, linen, and other tub
materials the stitches most used are the
eyelet work and satin stitch. For silks
and woods there is almost endless variety
in stitches. Many patterns are made on
the uncut goods, which is afterward cut out
and made up with tucks and plaits suited
to the design. There are finishing stitches
which must be taken after blouse or skirt
is completed. Among the seasons stitches
we see the lattice work. Make large her
rlngbone to join edges. Over this repeat
the same with stitches coming between the
first forming lattice work. These
threads are held down by third thread
which is knotted over the crossings. Fag-
goting is used to join edges and to fill in
spaces between motifs Bold designs are
worked in chain stitch with rope or other
heavy silk, worked toward the needewom-
an. For blouse design the loop may be a
third or half inch long, stitches of even
length. and the needle always set in and
brought out exactly on the line Two lines
OF chain stitching may be used together
and filled in with lattice or faggoting. In
petals and leaves third line of chainstitch
may be used through the center.
For more elaborate effects satin stitch
embroidery Is done, either padded or I'M
padded. A design may be wrought with
silk the exact shade Of the materials. Or
one shade lighter and another darker may
be used together. These patterns are us
ually outlined with gold thread or other
metal cord, which is also used at center of
flowers Gold thread,
couched on, forms the outline of oriental
designs done in many shades of the same
color. Blue shades are first choice
Embroidery silks and cottons of exact
shade of material are safe for any one to |
choose. If other shades and colors are de- |

upon for selecting them and insuring a |
general effect OF harmony and refinement.

Gently when the United States supreme
court reversed its former decision and said
that the tax was unconstitutional
Yet, even Hnder that decision, there is
still opportunity for the national govern
ment to levy an income tax. Senator
Root puts the case as follows:
This amendment will be no new grant
OF power. The congress already has power
to impose taxes on incomes from whatever
source derived, subject to the rule of con-
struetion which excluded state securities
from the operation OF the power; but the
taxes so imposed must be apportioned
among the states. Under the proposed
amendment there will be the same and no
greater power to tax incomes from what
ever source derived, subject to the same
rule OF construction, but relieved from the
requirement that the tax shall be appor-
toned"

statement will be news. 1t is not likely
that the tax will be apportioned to the
states, for that would mean great Unequal.

on wealth. But the real need of the coun-

that the national government have dis |

vital power. The government Of Great
Britain finds it to be of immense impor-

might come an emergency in the United |
