Indications point to the adoption
by Congress of the two bsttleship
program. Senator bale Of Maine, a
strenuous opponent Of big ships, it
is ahought will not oppose them this
year, and the sentiment for these
colossal ships strong in the strong
in the House Of Representatives.
There was much talk in the early
part Of the session about an empty
treasury and that it was needful to
be economical. There has recently
been little talk Of this kind. The
revenues OF the government are
rapidly increasing under the pre-
sent tariff

The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1910-12-21

North Adams going dry by major
ity of one is an illustration of the
gradual progress of no license which
is faster in Massachusetts, than in
Vermont for the reason that in Mass
achusetts the real friends Of temper
ance do not have the Ill judged fana-
ticism of Ferguson bunchto contend
with Here in Vermont if the extre-
mists would stop trying to force a
prohibition law onto the statute book
and devote their attention to improv-
ing the conditions of lbaor, public
health, education and clean living, the
saloons would gradually disappear
through failure of the demand for
their products. Inside OF ten years
there would be not more than a half
dozen license towns in Vermont, and
inside thirty years not one. II the
Incorporate zeal OF the prohibit
tionists enables them to saddle pro-
hibition anew in this state it will put
back the cause of real temperance
for a generation. Prohibition with
outout regard to local conditions pro-
notes hypocrisy, lawbreaking, per-
jury, corruption and crime. Local
option leads to the gradual elimina-
ton of the saloon through human
progress. 1t is the only true way TO
get rid of 1t.
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1910-12-21

There were just that number of
men in the senate who did not be-
lieve in trusting the people of Yer
mont with a chance to say whether
they wanted the present time lock on
the state constitution removed and
thus make possible proposals Of
amendment oftener than once in ten
years. And The Tribune regrets that
two senators from Windsor county
Messrs Davis and Edgerton-saw fit
to line up with the opposition.
Just what colored gentleman in
the constitutional woodpile these ten
statesmen were afraid of. is not quite
clear AS The Tribune understands
the situation nobody is attempting TO
force these constitutional changes on
the people of Vermont; they were re-
commended by a commission whose
members put time and thought into
the problem consigned to them, their
findings have been generally endors-
ed by the press of the state and the
expressed public sentiment has point
ed directly toward revision as a de-
sirable thing. Given an endorsement
by the legislature it was then to be
up to the people themselves to say,
by their votes, whether revision
should become a fact or be held in
check.
1t would seemingly take close
searching to find any special peril in
this movement and 1t is gratifying
to note the prospect of favorable ac-
ton on the matter OF the general as
sembly-barring the block passed
under the wheels by these ten as to
the time-lock feature.
The Tribune believes the people
could be trusted to decide even as to
tn time-lock But the ten think diff
ferently, and have used their power
ordingly.-Ludlow Tribune.

A Loyal Service.

There is just one publication which
it is admitted all Vermonters should
have. Reports to this effect are
widespread and intending. We refer
to The Vermonter, published as the
state magazine which varies
widely from all others In
that 1t serves MP Vermont
material only, IN way to do the
State proud. While small in bulk
nothing is too large to be covered in
presentation-as witness such MEN,
.orable editions as its Tercentenary
number last year and its recent re-
port OF the state fair-re-
plete with seventy-seven illustra-
tions. How such completeness is
possible at $1OO year is beyond our
understanding-possibly it is because
Editor Chas. X. Cummings is a prin-
ter of unusual experience. However

While in other states the people
are more and more enforcing their
rights through the referendum and
the recall here in Vermont ten sena-
tors refused to let the voters of Yer
mont decide for themselves. The fol-
lowing is from the Morrisville Mes
senger
Ten degenerate sons of worthy
sires, sent to the honorable senate to
represent the people of Vermont, are
afraid to trust their constituents;
regard them, evidently, as unfit for
self government; too degenerate to
be allowed the same rights that their
fathers had from the foundation of
the state to change the laws when
ever they deem necessary, so these
ten men refuse to vote to take 'the
time-lock off" the constitution of
Vermont. Are the people less capable
of self government than they were
fifty years ago? Then they could be
trusted to change any law, organic or
statute, at will. Now the people shall
remain powerless to amend their own
constitution, say these ten men who
misrepresent the freemen of Vermont.

Primary Elections

Speaker Joseph Walker of the
Massachusetts House is decidedly
progressive. He says that the New
Hampshire direct primary law has
freed that state from the old dom
nation" and adds: Il trust that at
the next session of our legislature we
will take similar action here in Mas
candidates for the republican nomina-
ernor ] trust that next fall may
have an opportunity to appeal for
nomination directly to the rank and
file of the Republican party. If we
are to have representative govern
ment it is essential that the people be
uphampered and free in the choice
of their representatives. The recent
democratic convention proved to
many democrats the necessity of dir
ect nominations. Next fall there will
be at least two and perhaps more
candidates for the republican nomina-
ton for governor and there will be
several candidates for lieutenant gov
ernor. There may be contests for
other places on the state ticket. If
the will of the republicans is to be
expressed in the selection of their
candidates, if secret trades and agree
ments are to be avoided, it is essen
tial that we pass at the next session
OF the legislature a direct primary
law
It remains to be seen how far our
legislature will go in this direction
in compliance with the demands Of
the people of Vermont. Most certain
ly we should take our pace by the
side of our sister state of New Hamp-
shire and the other progressive com
monwealths which have adopted dir
ect primaries.
It may be added that Speaker Walk
err favors the direct election of Uni
ted States Senators.-Burlington
News.

PRIZE FIGHTERS ARRESTED
Police Raid American A. c. at Sche-
nectady.

Schenectady. n. Y. Dec 2l.-Sam
Langford, Bob Armstrong, Porky
Flynn, and Jake Carey, the latter, pro
moter of the American A. c., were ar
rested here Monday night just before
the ten-round bout between Flynn
and Jack (Twin) Sullivan was staged
at the club on the charge of violat-
ing Section LILO of the Penal Code
relative to holding prizehgRts and
charging admissions The warrants
were sworn out by Dr. George r.
Lmn, pastor of the United Peoples
Church and publisher Of The Citizen,
a Socialist weekly newspaper.
A midnight session of the police
court was held and all were arralgn-
ed. Through their attorney, Del B.
Salmon, pleas of not guilty were en-
tered and all except Carey were re-
leased on $3.50 bail Carey's bail
was fixed at $500. There is also a
warrant out for Sullivan who could
not be found when the club was raid
ed.
The defense of the men arrested is
that the American A. c. is Incorporate
ed under the laws of the State, and
after every meeting the minutes of
the session are filed with the County
Clerk. Membership tickets are sold
at So. and these expire the day after
the bout and are renewed just prior
to the next bout. Following the raid
two six-round and one ten-round pre-
liminary bouts were staged without
interference from the police.

Party Promises Betrayed

Because Senator C. Sheldon of
Highgate with nine others, voted
mo-" men of Franklin county, you
cannot get at your state constitution
to amend it, 10 matter what happens,
except once in thirteen years! And
Senator Sheldon was elected to re-
present you at Montpelier after your
state platform had said:
1--WE cannot too earnestly urge up
on the people of this state and their
representatives in the legislature our
unqualified belief that the amendment
of the constitution in these particu-
lars is the most grave and RESPONSE
BILE duty that is likely to confront
the lawmakers at the coming session
and one that is on no account to be
put aside"
"On no account to be put aside"
Senator Sheldon knew all about
that promise before he accepted"
the nomination he was hunting so
diligently.
He knew all about 1t because 1t
had been printed broadcast over the
state of Vermont days before the
state convention assembled and with
express notice given to every Repub-
llcan that then was the time to stand
up and object to this proposed declar-
alton of party principles, or hereafter
hold his peace.
He knew all about 1t because the
state convention adopted that plank
and its solemn promise without a
word of dissent, and he was himself
nominated in county convention a
few days later without first declaring
his refusal to stand on the state plat
form plank he now repudiates.
Who is Senator Sheldon represent
ing in this betrayal of party trust?
Is he representing the Republicanism
Of Franklin county? Isn't 1t time we
found It?
Franklin county well nigh went
Democratic this fall. If a little bit
more organization had been put in on
the opposition there would have been
very emphatic Democratic victory
here. AS it was there was an unmis
taxable Republican humiliation and
every Franklin county reader OF
| these lines knows the reason why.
Senator Sheldon escaped from de
! feat by the skin of his teeth. He Is
now sowing the seed of popular dis
content and indignation that will be
harvested by Republican candidates
in 1912. We may not get off so easily
the next time.-St Adams Messen
ger.

FRANK E. HOWE! Editor and pub'r

The ten senators who failed to con-
meet with the party pledge on the
time lock amendment are receiving
just what they deserve-some right
sharp criticism.-Waterbury Record.
Breaking the party pledge is per-
haps the least of their offenses.
What they did was to prevent the
people deciding for themselves. BY
their vote they say that the people
cannot be trusted to do what they
think is best and right.
