VERMONT OPINION.
THE LICENSE REFERENDUM.
Randolph Herald and News.

Vermont is evidently in for another
warm contest over the liquor question.
Friends of the Vermont local option law
don't propose toilet it go by default at
the referendum next March. They have
organized a State league and will carry
on an energetic campaign in its behalf.
Their announcement in the form of a
display notwithstanding appears elsewhere
in this issue 1t will be seen that the
appeal for the laws retention rests on
the claim that local option as it has
worked out in Vermont means a better
temperance system and sentiment than
forced-draught Statewide prohibition.
The officers of the Vermont Loca Option
/ Leagues are some of them distinguished
and all representative citizens. Former
Judge Tyler, president, gives an air of
sincerity to the moral aims of the league,
which the others by their participation
reinforce. Without question the local
| option law has made many real friends
among those who want the most
etiicacious system for lessening the liquor
traffic. A stronger sentiment for it will
be found in the strictly dry localities
than is anticipated. On the other hand
there will be falling off in support in
cities and towns where the loca ma jority
is generally wet and where the minority
will turn in for Statewide prohibition,
also in the fringe of dry towns touching
the saloon centels that want the danger
of contamination removed wholly. Then
it will be appreciated that local option is
on the defensive now and its weak points
stand fully revealed, whereas the
abuses and i'll effects of the old pro
hibitory system have been partially for
gotten in the dozen years since that sys-
TEN went out. The one weak point OF
the proposed law is that it does not
recognize the propriety of any sale OF
liquor for any purpose whatsoever. Thi:
hardly accords, we think, with public
opinion. If the beverage sale of liquor
had been entirely banned and way
provided for local option in the sale OF
alcoholics for what are commonly re
garded as the necessary use of them,
the Statewide prohibition plan would be
received with greater favor, we think.

COMMUNICATIONS.
MEDICAL INSPECTION IN THE
SCHOOLS OF MIDDLEBURY.

To the Editor of the Register:
We hear much today on the subject
of conservation. Everybody is talking
or writing about it here in Vermont
but most of the conservation oratory
and literature is concerning our natural
resources. OF course the forests must
be preserved, the streams protected,
the deer, hedgehogs, muskrats and fish
saved from determination, but what
about the children?
There can be no bigger and better
Vermont unless the boys and girls who
are growing up today be given the
chance to develop into efficient men
and women. 1t is the duty of the State
to provide every facility to every child
that he may have every opportunity for
development. The State that compels
attendance at school ought to provide
adequately for the conservation of vital
power in the case of every pupil who
comes under its jurisdiction.
Investigation shows that low index
of efficiency of a school is mostly due to
defective physical and material condi-
tons which can be either remedied or
alleviated. There should be competent
medical Inspector for every school and
a careful medical inspection of every
child to release him from defects of eye,
ear, nose, and throat, enlarged glands
and other physical ailments that can be
corrected. Many schools in the State
are instituting a toothbrush campaign
under the direction of competent in
structors. Rutland statistics show that
IS per cent Of their school children are
subject to sickness or chronic dyspepsia
on account of bad teeth Bennington,
Brattleboro, Burlington, Rutland, and
other Vermont towns have awakened
to the importance of the conservation
of their school children vital powers.
Are not the children of Middlebury as
well worth saving? Some of US think So
and with this end in view, various
womens organizations of Middlebury
have instituted a movement toward the
appointment of a medical inspector fol
the schools of Mddlebury. They are
requesting that a clause relating to this
matter be inserted in the school warn
ing.
Town Clerk J. NJ. Burke reminds the
women that IN accordance with the new
school law women q years of age shall
have the same right as men to vote OF
matters pertaining to schools.
This seccti shall not be construed
as.requiring the payment of poll-tax b,

noon" And they went and were so
interested and enjoyed the singing so
much-they could hear their Carry's
voice-that when meeting was over
they stopped to tell the sexton that they
would like to hire three seats. When
Carry saw them, she left Molly and
went and joined them, Selling their
hands, and looked up in their faces
with such thankful and affectionate
look that they both felt that they had
never known till now what a precious
daughter they had. The tie between
them grew closer and closer, and from
that time there were no more regular
attendants at meeting than the Blakes.
Their house was open to all their
daughters friends She had her class
of little ones there several times that
summer, giving them entertainments
which they enjoyed immensely. Molly
often spent the night there, for the
change did her good and helped her re-
gain her strength, and she became a
great favorite of Carry's parents. One
night after the girls had said their
prayers and were just getting into bed
Carry seized Molly's hand and putting
her ar n about her kissed her and said
molly, dear, do you remember how
you used to pray for mech! long ago,
and don't you think, dearest, your
prayer has been answered just a
little | do.

THE LOCAL OPTION LEAGUE.
Vermont Tribune.

eTfnOnt Tribune.
Nobody need settle down to the
idea, that the promoters of the Local
Option Leagu, which is organized
to combat the tendency toward state
wide prohibition, will depend altogether
on the dollar membership fee for the
financing of their campaign of edu-
cation. Many of those who join the
league will undoubtedly do so because
they really believe in that method of
regulating the liquor traffic, and these
are not to be rallied at either because
OF the dollar or the opinion behind it,
But it is an easy guess that the liquor
interests, in the State and out of it
the concerns which make their money
by selling to Vermont saloon keepers
the stuff which inebriates and does
other undesirable tricks-wil loom
large in the financing of the campaign,
because their business interests are at
ST take; and nobody can be criticised for
attending strictly to his business. 1t i,

pie prefer the continuance of sys

A WORD FOR MOTHERS

Itisa grave mistake for mothers to neg
lect their aches and pains and suffer in
silence-this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
If your work is firing; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott s
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.

very elements to invigorate the blood

decrease of towns which vote license,
and say an emphatic Statewide No
to the saloon. 1t is for the people, and
not the liquor interests, to say what
Vermont shall do with this important
issue. The liquor interests will get
busy and keep busy The advocates of
a well regulated Statewide prohibition
should also get busy and keep busy till
the majority says what it wants.

on Seymour street? Editor.

A FEMININE HOBO.

Certainly not as distinguished as dis
tinctive was a certain guest which
Glenns Ferry had in its midst on last
Sunday. The person to whom we re-
fer was a feminine hobo. a genuine
blowed-in=t glass article, and just as
much so as any man could be. When
first seen, trudging down Idaho avenue,
she at once reminded one that she
might be a lady Rip Van Wrinkle. She
wore clothes of the raggedest kind and
heavy shoes twice too big" The
"clatterty- bang" sound of the brogans
as she moved along the cement side
walk accented her apparent I-should-
worry standard of life. In the after
noon she was noticed by different per-
sons sitting with gang of men around
d "bo- campfire down below the stock
yards. She smoked a cob pipe and
from all appearances was as much one
of the bunch as anybody-Glenns Fer
