That Fifth Class License.

A new law requires that each tow
in the state on each town meeting
day shall vote on the question,
''Shall licenses of the fifth class be
granted in this town.
Under the former law a license of
this class, commonly called the drug
gist's license, could be granted by the
selectmen in a town that voted no.
license on a petition of majority of
the doctors and 25 per cent of the
voters. Now a town can vote no-h-
cense on the general proposition and
vet vote for fifth class licenses if 1t
chooses.

The MeddLer
1T the coat fits you. paf ii on.

The Meddler cannot remember a time
when there was so little pre-town meeting
talk as there has been this year. The alb
sence of discussion is especially noticeable
in view of the many important questions
that are coming up for discussion tomor-
row What the reason is cannot of course
be definitely determined at this writing
1t may be that the voters have failed to
become interested in the various matters
outlined on the warrant but this seems
unlikely. The chances are better the calm
is the proverbial one that precedes a dis
turbance-a state of repressed emotion
that win find spectacular expression on
the floor of Festival hall tomorrow morn
| ing.
What to vote for town tax is a llnotty
problem this year in view of the legisla-
J lures action in abolishing offsets. The
selectmen have recommended AZ cents
| two cents more than last year, but if the
abolition of offsets bring into the grand
list anything like the amount of property
that some people expect there ought to be
no need of increasing the rate of taxation
The offsets in Brattleboro last year
amounted to more than 81 100000. And
then there is the question of druggists
licenses another thing that is the result
of new legislation. Tomorrow the voters
will be required to decide not only whether
any kind of licenses shall be granted for
the sale of liquor but whether fifth-class
licenses alone shall be. granted \ good
many people who are fatty opposed to
saloons have been heard to express the
opinion that it might be we'll to grant a
limited number of druggists licenses

To interested people everywhere, but
particularly to the residents of Brat
tleboro and the territory of which
this town is the business centre, We
present our heartiest and cheeriest
compliments.
The change from weekly to a
daily has been accomplished by siren
uous effort, involving the consolida-
ton of two offices and plants into
one, and the perfecting press, design
ed to turn out the daily at high speed,
instead of being installed for use
March l as expected, is still in tran
sit somewhere between Western New
York and Brattleboro. But without ex-
cuses and without apologies we salute
the public.
The Daily Reformer faces the fu
ture high of heart aud resoIute OF
faith, in a confidence born in the be
lief that Brattleboro has entered upor
an era of growth, prosperity, develop
men and improvement-that its out
/ look on the future is bright and as

The management and staff of thi
paper will strive with their mos
earnest endeavors to make this pape

RAIDING SQUAD IN ACTION.
Sheriff and Two Deputies Found the
Goods but Decided All Was o. K.

The raiding squad, Sheriff G. E. Mann
and Deputy Sheriffs G. I. Knapp and
Frank L. Wellman, received a telepho
mic tip late Saturday afternoon to the
effect that large consignment of con
traband goods was being received at
the Kellogg house on Elliot street. The
forces were marshalled promptly, the
necessary papers were obtained to per-
NIT a legal search and the speed indica-
tor was pushed over to the highest
notch.
They found the consignment to have
been received and to be the property of
man who uses beer in lieu of water to
wash down his food and quench his
thirst. He told the officers all about it
and proved to them at regular stated
intervals he received the same sort of a
consignment and had for some time.
The officers were convinced that he was
buying it for his own consumption and
not for profitable distribution, and they
left the beer and its owner in peace.

towns official organization by making pos
sible the keeping of the town books and
the tax books in one place. Along this
line it is argued that the man who has
the job of collecting town revenue would
be in a particularly good position to form
sound ideas as to how it should be spent.
Active discussion may be expected on
the question of electing a road commits
sioner or allowing one to be appointed by
the selectmen The trouble with the latter
method, which was tried out last year,

Is appointed. What Brattleboro ought
to have is a real business man in charge

knows anything about road building or not.

now is: Do you belong to the big

The action of the Twin State league Of
fcials yesterday in voting for a salary linn
it of 5000 a week shows that they realize
that baseball hereabouts cannot be con-
tinued on any such free-and-easy plan as
was tried out last summer. No doubt the
limit set looks pretty small to the enthu-
siastic fan but it must be baseball on that
basis or nothing. Minor leagues through
out the country have taken similar action
this year, and this very fact will doubtles,
help the Twin State league clubs to get a
better value for their money than has beer
the case heretofore. Here in Brattleboro

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Martin Villas of Alstead Committed Sui
eide by Jumping Into Mascoma River

Martin Villas, 81, son of Charles n. Villas
of Alstead and New York city, a former
owner and manager of the Fifth Avenue
hotel in New York, committed suicide Fri
day afternoon by jumping into the Mas
coma river in Lebanon, n. II. The body
was recovered after four hours search.
He was undoubtedly mentally deranged.
The young man consulted DIR. Fowler of
Lebanon, complaining of a feeling that
there was a band around his head He
said he had been in Texas for his health
and more recently in a sanatorium in New
ton, Mass. He wrote notes to his father
and to Miss Emerson, who had been his
attendant in Newton. DR.. Fowler tried to
restrain Villas and to keep him in his of
fee until Mrs. Fowler could summon an of
fcer, but he broke away and went hur
riedly to the river, where he jumped into
the water from 10-foot embankment af
ter throwing his coat aside.

THE KEY IN THE TIME LOCK.

In the town meeting tomorrow the
voters of Vermont will have their
first opportunity in more than 80
years to insert the key in the time
lock of the constitution.
How many voters have carefully
considered the proposals of amend
ments upon which they will vote?
These proposals were published in full
in The Phoenix of Feb. IA and 81.
The first proposal relates to two
thirds majority in both branches or
the Legislature in passing a law over
the governor veto. This is change
which IS certainly open to argument
1t might give the chief executive too
great a power We believe many
thoughtful men who will accept the
other proposals will shy at No. l.
The second proposal provides for
| changing our state election from Sep
TENDER to November, and the opening
of the legislative session in January
instead of October. We are heartily in
accord with this change 1t would
| eliminate all the duplicated efforts of
two elections every four years. Now
we go through all the stress, turmoil
| and expense of a state election in
! September, and then repeat the oper-
alton two months later when the
advertising that Vermont gets out OF
''setting the pace" and ''firing the
first gum is small recompense for the
energy, time and money expended
The farmers, who are more numerous
in the Legislature than men in any
other calling, would be greatly ac
commodated by a January session, as
the early fall is a time of great ae
tivity with them in their own bust
ness. Now the legislature takes long
recesses for Thanksgiving and Christ
mas. With the session starting in Jan
uary there would be no excuses 70
long mid-term adjournments. The leg
islature could get down to work an,
stay at it without interruptions.
The third proposal relates to tn
printing of the journals of the gener
al assembly and is not a matter o
vital Importance, and the same state
ment applies to the sixth propose
which makes a judge justice and jud
ges justices. Like the rose they woul
smell as sweet under either name.
The fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh an
eighth proposals will meet with ger
eral approval. The fourth takes ava
from the legislature the right to con
: mute a death sentence and gives it I

For the Women to Think About
Written Especially for The Reformer

Both the surpliee and the fichu are
much in evidence on spring gown
models, the latter not the original
broad, full arrangement, but a dainty
little fluffy affair that is as pretty on
young girls as on women of maturer
years.
One of the novelties of the coming
summer Will be the short jackets of
lowered ratine which are to be worn
with white or colored frocks. The
flower sprays are in soft tones of
pink, blue, yellow, etc, outlined in
| black, usually, to throw them into re
lief effectively against the crinkly
background of the ratine.
Colored satin trimmings continue to
hold good. They are as appropriate
and effective on sheer white lingerie
/ frocks as on gowns of satin or cloth.
! One of the late additions to the
chatelaine is the tiny cylindrical per
fume holder with perfectly fitting
little screw top. This is also some
times fastened to the fan chain for
evening use.
Though the gaiter boot has not
gained great foOthold among Amer
leans as yet, it is held in high regard
by the Frenchwomen, who have as
siduously adopted American made
footwear, and this IS the sort of thing
that appeals to them, chic, smart, out
of the ordinary.
Great is the vogue for co1ored hos
iery, and some authorities predict q
gradual falling off in the use of black
stockings until they are the excep
ton rather than the rule. All the
shades of tan, and brown as well, are
promised great popularity.
Some of the new hats have bands
of heavy grosgrain ribbon, with EN-
broideFed flowers. The chic bow thai
is formed at one side OF the hat ter
inmates in the irregular edges formed
by the leaves of these flowers, which
are cut ont and buttonholed around
to make firm edge.
There are some exceedingly attrac
tive silk, crepe de chine or chiffon
surplice blouses made up separated,
to be worn over any underblouse o.
white or cream lace or net The ad
vantage of having them made sepa
! rate IS at once apparent The under
blouse may be changed, giving a diff
ferent look to the costume, and ais,
one may always be sure that it il

The /" New York Sum- tells of an
effective touch upon afternoon gowns
of white brocade, saying that because
of the demand for color there is

with deep satin selvedge caught in

Note the beauty in the combination
of materials as well as color.
They tell US now that the pale
shades of champagne, biscuit, corn
color and other similar shades will be
as much used with black this spring
as white was last. That is saying a
great deal, but surely there are many
models showing this color scheme.
The woman of youthful figure will
welcome the news that jackets are
much shorter again, for nothing suits
her SO well as these jaunty little gar
ments. If the cutaway type is used
the front is quite high, while at the
| back the length is not more than
twelve inches or so below the waist
| line.
1t is astonishing to note the variety
in the small close hats. 1t would seem
that a perfectly round hat, fitting the
head closely and finished with a sim
gle trim, would be the same the
millinery world over; but such is not
the case. The brims' vary (if the
term is applicable as much as they
do on hats of a larger size, and this
makes the widest difference in the
