The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1915-06-03

The men with a penchant for figures
can demonstrate that the .jitney is an
economic impossibility, but they fail
to take into account the human fac
tor in the situation. There are many
persons who control secondhand cars
which are still servieeable and on which
the main depreciation has already been
figured. These ears can be operated
by the owner or some member of his
family, who by personal efforts keep
the cost of maintenance at low fig
IRE. In some cases the iitney is run
as side issue, and it may be carry
ing passengers for small fee while It
Is at the same time performing some
thing in the way of additional service
for the owner or operator. The iitneq
craze will die out to a large extent.
but there will continue to be a place
for the operation of cars at low fares
between fixed points in spite of the
fact that the economists figure that
the practice is Improbable

of Vice Presidents

A local option league has been or
gained IN Vermont Prominent res
ldents who believe the present law to
pc the pest temperance measure ever
placed upon the statute books came
together few weeks ago and decided
that an organization with the purpose
IN view of retaining the present law
was wise at this time.
10 ascertain the sentiment on this
subject prominent men in all parts of
the state were consulted and the con
census of opinion was that the present
local option law should remain in pref
erence to anything yet proposed to
take its place. With this information
at hand the league was organized with
the following officers: President,
James NJ. Tyler, Brattleboro; County
Vice Presidents: Addison, Carlton w.
Sprague, Bristol; Bennington, Frank
E. Howe, Bennington; Caledonia. Al
exander Dunnett, St. Johnsbury; Chit

The league plans to conduct an edu
cational campaign to show that undel
local option Vermont has law tnat
has worked beneficially to the state
| and that the temperance cause has
benefited to a greater extent under
prohibition. Every dollar contributed
to the cause will be used to enngnter
the people Of Vermont through the
newspapers what has been accomplish
ed under local option and what may
be expected with continuance of tn,
| law.

the students, having been found guilty
OF cheating at an examination, is re
quireG to withdraw at once from the
Institute. 1t is hoped that all str.
dents will help by their own example
to break up vicious practice that
should not be allowed to exist one day
When young man passes an examina
tion by cheating he might just as well
pick the pocket of his instructor or of
his fellow students. 1t is an offense Of
the same order and no student has the
right to plead thoughtlessness or a
previous loose code of honor. Every
student should think of the effect no
on his father and mother before re
sorting to a dishonorable transaction
certain to render ineffective their
struggle for his education. This school
must keep itself clean by swift jus
tice to any offender against its good
name.

Exercises of Pre-Memorial Day.

The two schools held pre- Memorial
day exercises in the town hall Friday
afternoon. The hall was very prettily
trimmed with an abundance of green
boughs, flowers and flags. The first
part of the program was by district
No. / school, Then there was speak
ing by the old soldiers and Rev. Wal
ter Curtis. During his remarks Mr.. Cur
tbs showed three canes with histories.
His father was shot above the knee in
the battle of the Wilderness He man
aged to crawl to small tree, which
he cut, and with its aid got up on his
one good foot and was trying to move
along toward the hospital when the
ambulance overlook and carried him.
He took the pole with him and while
III the hospital cut it cane length,
peeled the bark except for handle,
on which he cut out his name. Another
cane was given him by a friend who
cut it on the battlefield of Gettysburg,
Then came the exercises by school
district No. 2. Throughout the after
noon Rev. Walter Curtis played the G
A. r. war songs on his victrola. In
stead of the usual individual speaking
by the children the exercises this year
were more in the nature of pageant
the children speaking and acting their
parts in groups and forming very pref
ty tableaux. Much credit is due the
teachers, Miss Gladys Deal and Miss
lola Gleason. The old soldiers preseni
were Alfred Ranney, Hunt Clark
Alonzo Kerr and George Bell.
The Modern Woodmen will hold {
business meeting in the town hall Mon
| day evening, June Z. All members arc

1t is eminently fitting that Brat
tleboro man should head the newly
formed Vermont Local Option league

state where the present method of
governing the liquor traffic has worked
more satisfactorily or where there is
stronger sentiment in behalf of its
retention. When man of such stand

the use of his name in the furtherance
Of cause of this nature there can be
little doubt about the integrity of its
purpose. There are those, of course.
