A Wise Choice.

The election of ex-Congressman Kit
tredge Haskins as one of the Bratteboro
listers is an excellent example of civic
patriotism in willingness on the part of
one who has held high station to serve his
town in its routine affairs. 1t is also an
illustration of the wisdom of choosing the
best man for municipal Office of great

THE INNKEEPER,s LICENSE

Neighbor Belknap OF the Bellows Falls
Times is certainly right in arguing for an
innkeeper's license law in Vermont. Ii
this state wishes to get its share of the
immense summer business which is so
profitable to other New England states
something will have to be done along this
line As the Times states it:
A law permitting license of this kind
in towns that voted no would place the
granting of the license in the hands OF the
selectmen. Only bona fide hotels could Sc
cure the license and sales could be made
to only bona fide guests of the hotels. The
fee would be nominal because the sales
would never be large. The selectmen
would be given the power to issue the IL
cense and also the power to revoke for
cause. In a close town like Rockingham
such license would be blessing because
it would remove the hotels from the annual
no and yes fight. Now the hotels line up
on the license side. If they had an inn
keepers license they would keep out OF the
fight. This would mean that the number
of license towns and cities in the state
would be much reduced.
There is great opportunity here in Yer
mont to make successful bid for a sum
mer business that will equal New Hamp-
nually, instead of bare half million as
now. Good roads are needed, and good
hotels and plenty of them. The people
from Boston and New York, who come in
automobiles in particular, bring with them
the habits of their own homes. When they
register in their temporary home, the
hotel thew want the privilege of eating
