When a man drinks something that

his own and others safety. He Is
therefore guilty Of criminal negll-

anything that produces such effect he
also is guilty of contributing to what
ever harm results The man who
votes for the sale of such poison
must bear his share of responsibility.

BETTER SAVE THE COsT.-Now that
the voters of Vermont have declared by
vote of five to one in favor of the direct
primary it is, in the opinion of the Land
mark, of no great concern if there is no
action upon the matter as would be re-
quired by a special session of the legisla-
ture. A special session would cost the
state too much money to Justify its call
ing when a regular session of the legis-
lature is due in another eight months,
and at that time all legislation essential
to making is legal and part of the law
Of the state can be enacted. The vote on
the direct primary was so emphatic and
conclusive as to preclude all danger of its
snnuement by its opponents. No party
nor group of men will dare disregar the
wishes of the people in this matter, and
therefore as long as it is certaintyin all
succeeding elections after this year it is
the better part of wisdom to save the
state the probable $4,000 which a
special session would cost-Whlte River

According to government statistics
Vermont's state debt has increased from
$151,Oo in 1880 to $4,000 in 1913.
In 1880 the per capita debt was As cents
and in 1913, S1.5S. The population of
the state increased from 332, 900 in 1850
to 100000 in 1913. The per capita debt
for the As states is 1852, Sl.g4 more
than the per capita debt of Vermont
These figures show that our per capita
debt has increased in a far greater ratio
than our population.

The Dillingham; Club

At the recent organization of the Dill
bingham Club in Waterbury the follow
ing statement was given OUT
ga circular letter dated April 20, 1914,
from Orleans, Vt, in furtherance of the
so-called non-partisan movement, con-
tains some statements that called for re-
ply. Among other things the circular
says:
Our canvass shows that Senator Dill
! bingham is the only candidate who must
be taken seriously as an opposition candi-
date and we have looked in vain for any
announcement from him that he is a can
didate.'
cit is true that Senator Dillingham; has
made no public announcement that he is
to be a candidate, but it has been no Sc
cret, however, that Senator Dillingham;
is candidate to succeed himself, and on
one occasion an intimatien to the con-
trary in a Vermont newspaper was spec-
ficaily denied and corrected.
"To prevent further circularization of
reports like the above, | desire to state
on the authority of Senator Dillingham;
himself that he is a candidate for nomi-
nation and reelection to the United
States Senate on the republican ticket;
and | will add on behalf of his friends
and supporters that reports fromall quar-
tiers of the State indicate his reelection. /
The circular above referred to relies
in a canvass made by sending letters to
the one thousand persons whose biograph- +
ical sketches appear in the book entitled +
"Men of Vermont" Trustworthy intor-
nation from over the State indicates tl.t
now, as in the past, very large major Y
