The Barton Monitor, which iavors a re-
turn to state prohibition, wishes to know
why alcoholic beverages cannot be forbid
den II the state Legislature can say to the
village OF st. Johnsbury that It shall not
furnish for the citizens use water from a
certain supply The defense, the Moni-
tor says, was made along the line that
this action was q violation OF personal
liberty to the citizens and that the board
OF health or state had no right to punish
those who used the water. il then
quotes Chief Judge John W. Rowell, who
said in bis decision :-"As to personal lib
erty, our Bill Of Rights declares that gov
eminent Is or ought to be instituted for
the common benefit, protection and Sc
curity OF the people, nation or commun-
ity, and not for the particular emolument
or advantage Of any single man, family or
set Of men In that community" He
further added that the Legislature had the
right to enact and enforce such reasona-
bic rules and regulations AZ would protect
the health and safety Of the greatest num-
Der of people.
Scott Clifton Carbee, the artist, has I'm
ished the portrait of Chief Judge John
w. Rowell, that he has been painting at
the judges Office, and vent 10 Boston
Saturday to select q frame for the picture.
The painting is an admirable likeness OF
the Judge, not merely in feature but IN
the revealing touch OF expression. II Is
an artistic piece of work which wins the
approvaI Of all who have seen Il. Mr..
Carbee expects to return to Randolph
about the first Of September and may
bring Mrs. Carbee with him to enjoy an
outing while be does some further work
here. During the session OF the leglsla-
ture in October-prohahly in Ladies
week-he is TO have an exhibition OF his
paintings at the State house. Since Mr..
Carbee has been in town, the wish has
been often expressed that he might paint
the portrait OF Col. A. B. Chandler to
hang in Chandler Music hall, which will
never seem complete until q picture OF its
generous donor can be seen upon one OF
its walls. That the colonel would be q
most excellent subject for an artist Is q
good reason Why this natural desire o.
he people should be gratihed. but the
chief consideration is that future genera
tons ought not to be left to construct
from cuts and photos their idea OF the
man who has done so much for Ran
dolph.
