Innkeeper's Lncences

The Monitor understands there will
be an effort made to pass an inn
keepers license bill in the present leg
islature. OF course the argument will
be used that in order to increase the
summer business in Vermont such a
measure is necessary. SO far as the
Mentor is concerned, we say, If inn
keepers licenses are necessary to in
crease the summer business. And
everyone knows that the Monitor has
been shouting for summer hotels and
summer business for years.
The Monitor opposes such bill
from principle.
The drinking of alcoholic liquors as
a beverage is of actual benefit to abso
lutely no one, fact proven by
science, and shown by example.
Neither has the most ardent support
er of the licensed saloon ever heard
one single man say that alcoholic
drinks were advantageous to ones
best welfare when consumed as a
beverage. In the light of these facts.
why the licensing of the sale of in
toXicants as beverage? By what
fundamentals OF law does the state
acquire the right to grant license
for carrying on a business of indis-
putable value or use to but few, and
a curse and obstacle to the many?
In fact has the state, under article
Z, chapter l, of the Constitution of
Vermont, a constitutional right to
license" the sale of alcoholic liquors
as a beverage? We read here, THAT
the government is, or ought to be,
instituted for the common benefit,
protection and security of the peo-
pie, nation or community and not
for the particular emolument or ad-
vantage OF any single man, family, or
set of men who are a part only of
that community"
Can it be said that the licensing of
the sale of liquors as a beverage is
for the common benefit, protection
and security of the people" as a
whole?
So while the Monitor, and we be-
heve Orleans county as whole, is
anxious to promote summer business
in Vermont, we oppose this bill as we
have opposed all kinds of license bills
on the ground that licensing of the
sale of liquors as a beverage is for
the emolument or advantage" of the
few and not" for the common benefit,
protection and security" OF the many

MANKIND.

We think we are playing on or
binary organs when we play
upon man. Men are organs in
deed. but fantastic, changeable
and various, with pipes not ar
ranged in due succession. Those
who understand only how to play
an ordinary organ make no har-
monies on these.
When we are too young our
judgment is at fault; so also
when we are too old.
He that considers his work so
soon as it leaves his hands is
prejudiced in its favor. He that
delays his survey too long can
not regain the spirit of it.
If we take not thought enough
or too much on any matter we
are obstinate and infatuated
II is not well to be too much
at liberty. 1t is not well to
have all that we want
The nature of man is not al
ways to go forward II has it's
advances and retreats Fever
has its hot and cold fits. and
the cold proves as well as the
hot how great is the force Of
the fever.
The strength of a mans vir-
tue must not be measured by
his occasional effort, but by his
ordinary life Pascal.

IMAGINATION.

All the charm of life is insep-
arabic from certain fine re-
serve. In the half open rosebud,
at once displaying and conceal
ing its beauty, there is fasci-
nation wanting to the full blown
flower. The soft veil of purple
haze that lies over the Grecian
landscape gives to it an enchant-
ment scarcely conceivable to one
accustomed only TO the starry
aspect of scenery under q YER
fectly clear air. What more
enticing than a road winding and
losing itself among the woods?
Inevitably the eye dwells on that
point where it disappears, for
there the hard everyday world
ends and the world of magma
ton begins. Beyond that point
dryads Turk, and fauns with Glow
IN heel, with all the enchanting
dream world of mythic antiquity.

Something for Nothing.

I'VE believe the members of the leg.
islature would set the people an ex-
cellent example by taking whatever
Thanksgiving recess they select with
out pay. IL is often a difficult thing
to distinguish between graft and near
graft, and II we are TO educate our
people in the right direction, we
should take no pay for nothing every
time We do nothing. Moreover it is
right for us TO take money from the
state treasury for worn out cattle we
could not sell to one of our neigh
bors? Let us be honest with our
selves and with the state, in these and
other directions. Burlington Free
Press.
There is graft pure and simple and
legalized graft BY legalized gIaft,
may be meant the taking of money
legally, but which money is not to be
taken in exchange for services. 1t
may be looked at in this light; If
there were a man in the legislature
who took even so small an amount as
81 cents and had no legal right to it..
there would be howl go up that
would ring from one side OF the state
to the other And rightfully. But
when there is a leakage in govern
ment funds. it is lightly looked upon,
and while there may be complaint
from watchdogs of the treasury; the
incident is soon forgotten. This is
poor business. Not one of the men
who are in the Legislature will pay
out their own money for work not
done. Why should they expect the
state to do so? They are supposed to
husband the states money and ex-
pend it through channels of best ad-
vantage. VIII they be doing this If
they take pay through a vacation?
Let the legislature act on purely
business basis and all will be we'll

SUIT DISMISSED
Decree Filed With Chancellor Lyle
Yesterday-Judge Brame OPP
poses Move.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 16.-The first
direct action on the part of the Attor-
ney General to dismiss from the courts
the original bill instituted by the for
mer administration calling for an &C.
counting from Ex-Governor Vardaman
in relation to the disbursement of the
executive contingent fund and special
funds that passed through his hands
while Governor, was made yesterday.
The Attorney Generals procedure en-
braces also the suit filed in Circuit
Court against the Merchants Bank G.
Trust Company for an alleged over
charge of interest on loan of 100000
negotiated through the bank for the
State by Governor vardaman.
The latter case was disposed of SIM
ply by an order on Circuit Clerk Fon-
/ dren from the Attorney Generals office,
finally dismissing the bill. But differ
ent method is being used in hand ing
the Chancery court bill A draft of
decree to dismiss the case was sent
to Chancellor Lyell yesterdal for his
signature. The Chancellor is now

turned it over to Judge Brame, who is
taking part in the special case now
before the Chancellor, and who was
employed by Governor Noel to assist
the former Attorney General in the
Vardaman suit When asked when
he expected to sign the decree, the
Chancellor stated that he had turned
it over to Judge Brame and desired to
hear from him before disposing of the
matter.
It was learned that the Chancellor
would be out Of the city today and
will not return until tomorrow, SO that
It is hardly probable that there will
be anything final in the matter until
Saturday or Monday.
1t had at first been assumed that
Attorney General Collins would issue
a writ Of dismissal and thus dispose
Of the suit in one stroke, but a confer.
ence seems to have decided that the
more courteous manner would be to
let those who first took a hand in the
litigation have a part in its disposal.
In advance Of the decree, there was
sent to the Chancellor communica-
ton from the Attorney General accom-
panied by a copy of the contingent
fund committees report, copies of the
Joint resolution of the Legislature, the
report, to Governor Brewer and the
Governors reply thereto.
It goes without saying that Judge |
Brame will not acquiesce in the sign
ing of the decree and that the Chanc-
ellor will use his own judgment.
