EXPLANATION SPELLS DISASTER

Scientists tell US that no man can
indulge in alcoholic drinks without
materially impairing his faculties.
Speaking of the dangers that may re-
suit from even a single drink the Port
land (Me.) Express not Long ago said:
THE business man may be deliber-
ating soberly over the ACCESSIBILITY of
making an investment If it turns out
well the profits will be large, but it
means the tying up of a large sum.
and after all it has rather a question
able side. Certainly it is something
that needs a more thorough investiga-
ton. Perhaps weary over the per-
plexities Of the problem the merchant
turns out a stiff drink of liquor and
drinks it. Somehow in a very few mo-
ments those enormous profits seem
more alluring and the risk more CHI
mericaL Nothing .Hentured, nothing
gained. I'll take a chance says the
business man and he does. Win or
lose his judgment is not normal, for 1t
is absolutely certain that without the
drink he would have made the thor
! Ough investigation before investing
The chauffeur driving big touring
car comes to a narrow chance between
vehicles. In his absolutely sober, sound
senses his judgment impels him to
slow down and wait until passing
traffic has removed the risk. The same
chauffeur, had he before leaving his
| garage taken one drink OF liquor
might have acted differently. Nobody
would dare suggest that he was intox
| icated. With cigar between his teeth
the alcoholic odor might have been un
noticeable, yet through his veins the
quickened blood stimulates him to just
that recklessness that overbalanced
his normally good judgment. I car
make that all right he thinks, and
the big car shoots ahead.
He, too, may or may not succeed IN
his venture. But he has taken a risl
| that he would not have taken had ht
not drunk the liquor. Herein lies the
danger of even moderate drinking. One
drink may have no outWardly visible
effect on a man, yet once it gets int
his blood he is affected. That is wha
he takes it for; not necessarily tt
make himself drunk, but for the exhila
ration, an exhilaration which spells
disaster. With whom do you wish tt
entrust your savings for investment

Whom do you prefer shall drive you
car, the abstaining chauffeur, or the
one who takes an occasional drink?

is melted out to- them2 Why not ap-
ply to such cases the principle that
1.-The criminal is an enemy of society
to be reformed or restrained from
committing crime and our laws and
our procedure must be adapted TO ac-
comprising the extirpation of the
criminal classes?"
But it never was the intent Of the
law that, as between the detection of
crime by the state and the establish
ment of a bona fide defense such as
was interposed in the Koch case,
viz, self defense, there should be
any undue advantage to the state.
Originally ali preliminary inquiries
were directed toward ascertaining all
the facts;-not merely the facts that
might assist one or the other side.
If an apparent advantage is given
the accused at a preliminary hearing
by which he may not be compelled to
incriminate himself, how far does the
state go to establish his legal de-
Tense?
1t has been said that society,
anxious to free itself from a menace,
goes out of it's way to avoid learn
ing the truth and deliberately inn
poses upon itself unnecessary diff
cultieS in, the way of discovery. The
obvious remedy for this, according
to Mr.. Storey, is that the accused
should be permitted free and full
opportunity to admit discriminating
facts against himself on the ground
that he, of all persons, knows best
whether he is guilty or Innocent If
this be good logic, why not impose
an equal duty upon the state TO as
sist rather than retard a bona hde
defense?
1t is all we'll enough for d prose-
cutor to say that in his quasi-judic-
ial capacity he may not seek to do
otherwise than present the case of
the people. Does his official duty
impose upon him the task of OBJ
structing or retarding a bona fide de-
tense? These are some of fhe re-

The Enosburg Standard seems to
have jumped clear over the fence po-
litically. 1t hopes that Harland b.
Howe will be a candidate and says
he ''is progressive and possesses the
necessary qualifications to make a
good governor" and the republicans
are likely to put up a stand-patter
for the governorship. The tone of
the editorial quoted from indicates
the Standard is done with the repub-
icans. We imagine the republicans
will not fear Mr.. Howe as a candi-
date and will welcome as stroAg a
candidate as the democrats can find.
They should have no difficulty in
nominating a man who can show
more real progressive action al
though he may not make as much
progressive talk as Mr.. Howe Or any
other democrat in Vermont

MILK AND WHISKY.

A certain man was in a bar-room
complaining loudly of the high cost
of living. Among other things, he
mentioned milk. Just think of 1t, =
he said, milk nine cents a quart.
How is a poor man to buy milk for a
family at such a price as that?'
Shortly afterwards he began to in
quire of the bartender the price of
different grades Of whisky. The best
grade was $3.50 a quart, another
grade could be got for $1.25, while a
still cheaper one was only 81 a quart.
The customer thought a few minutes,
and finally settled on that at $1.25.
Milk nine cents a quart; whisky $1.25
a quart! No doubt the milk Is high
and wages are low enough, but we
venture to say that the man who pays
$1.25 for a quart of whisky, when his
children could get fourteen quarts
of milk for the same money, is a poor
father-Exchange

NORTH CAROLINA SATISFIED.

Hon. R. B. Glenn, ex-governor OF
North Carolina, in a recent tour OF
Alabama in the interests of statewide
total abstinence, said:
There is not any danger whatever
of'North Carolina ever again joining
the ranks Of liquor states. The people
of our state are too well satisfied with
prohibition. They have seen the state
grow and prosper until today we rank
second in textile products. A few years
ago North Carolina was known ONLY
for it's turpentine. Today we are ia
nous as a manufacturing state.
North Carolina is clean and ex
poets to continue clean. There is no
even the remotest prospect of oul
state ever wanting to give up state
wide prohibition
