Gubernatorial Timber.

1t is far cry to the state election
OF 1917, but the woods are full of
presidential timber. The buzz of the
political saw was heard in and around
the capitol at Montpelier even before
the Legislature was able to decide
upon date for final adjournment.
| Already the results are coming to
public notice in booms and boomlets
Some of the men who have been men
toned occupy positions where they
have been particularly exposed to the
political lightning and it has struck
them with force that has caused, in
the view Of their admirers at least,
the halo of popular approval to hover
about their heads. Upon which of
| these heads. if any, the halo will be
fixed by nomination and election is
a conundrum with which the public
may daily while many moons wax and
wane.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Enforce the Laws"

Judging from a conversation with
one of the governing committee of the
Anti-Saloon league, this is to be the
platform of the new superintendent of
the league, Rev. C. H. Smith of
Pittsford.
If this is true he will find the state
press and, we believe, the people be-
hind him, and will make the league a
power for good in this State. t
The first requisite is to instill respec
for law.

The suggestion that Decoration day
be celebrated on Sunday appeals to
the Monitor as a sensible one. AS it
is now, the day is losing its lesson and
it's true meaning. BY celebrating the
day on Sunday each year the inclina-
tion of this generation to turn the day
into day of games and sports and of
riotous living would be checked.

AS to Consolidation.
The Montpelier Journal, in com.
menting upon and approving Of the
conclusion of recent Landmark edi
torial respecting the inordinate cost
that has come to be in the admins
tration of town, county and state
affairs, makes the suggestion that
there be brought about a consolida-
ton of smaller towns, thus producing
conditions that would permit the cut
ting Of town expenses in twain.
Surely it would be difficult to find
any sensible objections to this plan.
Its realization would be of Immediate
and immense advantage not alone to
the inhabitants of the little towns Sc
consolidated, but to those of the
county and state. Consolidation means
economy of operation every time. II
is the order Of the day and while the
order of consolidation Of the little
towns is advanced why would it not
be we'll to consolidate the counties
| VI Tie SLdGP!
We are well aware that this is nc
new proposal, as the press Of the
state has advocated such a proposition
with greater or less frequency for
years. But the present is a propi
tlOus time to renew this wholly prac
tlcable and wise proposal.
Windsor county has present popu
lation of 5000, just enough to make
a single city of the smallest size
Equally distributed into three towns
and each would have a population Of
II, 1000, making a town Of not unusua
size. The machinery for the running
of county is necessarily unwieldy
and Unfortunately expensive. Though
there be but SO, 900 people in J the
county there must be a jail and a Jail
er, a sheriff and his deputies, a cour
house, county clerk and county
treasurer and, strange as it may seem
a judge of probate. That so small {
political division as $4,000 people
should saddle upon themselves The
expense of supporting such an outf
is beyond comprehension.
The consolidation Of towns anC
counties is alike feasible and every
! way desirable. Unite two countie!
and the expense of running one is en-
tirely eliminated.

This, wanton attacks upon any law,
do not do. Such attacks Invariably
breed contempt for all law and thus
undermine the very foundations of
republican form of government.
Few laws are perfect, but a wise
enforcement of them will lead to such
reasonable" changes as will make
them fit the needs and conditions as
they exist today.
From all reports that reach us Mr..
Smith is the right man for the place.
AS the Northfield News we'll says, in
the following editorial. he has no easy
task before him and will need all the
help he can enlist. and among his
most effective workers he will find we
believe. the great majority of the
state papers. The News says "There
seems to be a commendable spirit
among the state press to cordially
welcome Rev. Clifford H. Smith of
Pittsford to the POSITION of superin-
tendent of the Vermont Anti-Saloon
league. Mr.. Smith is at present pas
tor of the Pittsford Congregational
church, and is said to be progressive,
practical and active citizen. He must
also be man of courage and deter
mination, because he can hardly fail
to recognize the fact that he has a
strenuous task to lift the organization
he is to represent out of its present
hole into a sphere of usefulness,
such as the Anti-saloon league should
occupy in this state. A tolerant spir-
it, coupled with an endeavor to do a
useful work along broader lines in
promoting the cause of temperance
and good morals, will be duly appre-
ciated by the public and the press of
the state. "-Vergennes Vermonter.

DR.. Benton, the new president of
the University of Vermont, says that
he believes Vermont has a great
future, else he would not content him

Vermont's proud past record in peace

ton that Vermont has future before
it the like Of which few of us realize.
And the dawn Of this future is at

The "bad beef" sold for food by the
state will not down. either literally or
fguratively, not if the people know
it. The Barton Monitor devotes four
columns to a review of the question,
and demands, as mas every other pa
per, that such beef be SO labeled that
the purchaser can tell what he is
buying. -Vergennes Vermonter.
And Judging from the number of
readers who have spoken of this tu-
bercular baef-selling question, the
people of the state will have a little
something to say about the matter in
1912, even if the officials are not in
clined to talk in 1911.

London, July PLANS for a great pu-

Of which is to meet Jack johnson for
the heavyweight championship, were
made public to-day by Hugh D. Nc
Intosh, the Australian promoter.
Mcintosh is so sanguine that Bill Lang.
the Australian scrapper, will win that
he has already signed Johnson to fight
the Australian on Easter Monday. 1912,
provided the latter is not defeated in the
meantime.
Mcintosh has catled to Joe Woodman,
manager of Sam Langford. the Boston
negro heavyweight, asking him to meet
Lang in Australia some time during the
coming winter. 4 match will be made
to bring together Sam McVey, of Cali
fornia, and Al Kaufman either in Paris
or Australia, and the winner will be
matched with the winner of the Lang
Langford contest. The ultimatum winner
will be matched against Johnson.
Johnson is going on a world tour, TAX
ing in India, China, Japan. and Austral-
asia, for three months before beginning
a long siege OF training to prepare for
his championship fight
Johnson has already given Mcintosh
assurances of his good faith, and the pro-
moter is positive that this important in
ternational series of fistic combats will
settle the heavyweight question.
