Vermont is not the only New Eng
land state that is going through the
throes of a fight on the liquor law
question. The liquor laws committee
of the New Hampshire house of repre-
sentatives favors bill to abolish Ii
ccnse and return to the prohibition
days of - years ago, and it is expected
that the issue will be fought out in that
body early next week. The general
feeling is that the house will pass the
measure, but there is considerable
doubt whether it can he put through
the senate.

States public health service. six and
one half miles of streams near Roa-
noke Rapids. n. c.. were oiled at n
cost of $500. Three thousand gallons
of oil were used in the process. The
mill owners Of Roanoke Rapids are so
satisfied with the reduction of malaria
prevalence among their employees that
they will repeat the process during
the coming wear. Local conditions
made drainage impracticahlc and too
expensive. therefore pools. ponds and
other bodies of stagnant water which
were acting as mosquito hree lcrs. were
oiled. Ths bulletin referred to points
ont that Kerosene, or some other agent
which win kill the mosquito larvae,
may be substituted for drainage under
certain conditions, but oiling as an anti
mosquito measure must he so satiSfac-

Northampton 5 experiment of a mu-
uicipal theater has entered its third
season, and while its financial success
is nearer achievement this season than
it has been previously, there is still
something lacking, according to Walter
Pritchard Eaton in the Boston Tran
script. The one thing needed to make
this original experiment complete
triumph appears to be a little more
originality. The plays are too conven-
tional, says the critic. The thing is not
carried out with that abandonment of
regard for the way plays are staged
elsewhere, which would serve to make
Northampton a light shining in the
darkness, Perhaps the genius of leader
ship viii yet arise to lift the expert
ment out of the ordinary.

The MeddIer
~ The coat fits you, put It on"

Although the general public is skep-
tIcal OF the sincerity of the railroad of
fleIals expressed willingness to begin
immediate work On the local passenger
station surface indications seem to sup
port the opinion held by the local rail
road committee and selectmen that the
project will materialize the coming
summer. The engineering department
Of the Central Vermont has already
sent to the seleetmen for approval a
new station plan embodying number
of changes made necessary by the post
ponement of the overpass proposition.
These changes have to do chiefly with
the arrangement of the interior of the
station, it having been thought advisa-
bic to change the location of the bag
gage department from the north to the
south end of the building in order that
the width of Bridge street may be
maintained. These closely in touch
with the matter contend that the rail
road officials would not be so prompt
IN getting out new plans and submit
ting them to the town authorities il
they (the otficiaIs) had not made III
their minds to start the work as soOr
as an agreement acceptable to all par
ties has been approved by the public
service commission.

In connection with the agitation of
the question of consolidating town.
village and school district governments
1t may be well TO call attention to a
fact which is not generally known;
namely, that the Brattleboro incor-
porated school district gets no benefit
from the law. providing state aid for
supervision. Under this law a union
of two or more towns with a minimum
of p schools or one town with 30 or
more schools can secure from the state
each year toward the salary of SUI
perintendent 1000 and half the
amount paid in excess of $1,000 up to
Il maximum of 81 500. For example. ii
the incorporated district were abolished
or made coterminous with the town
and Il superintendent were employed
at a salary of $500 the state would
pay $1,000 Of the amount. making the
entire expense to Brattleboro but $500
Il year; or if the superintendent 5 sal
airy were $1,000 the cost to the town
would be only $500 annually. \ con
tribution of this size toward the main
tenanee of the public schools is too
large to be overlooked, and some plan
should be devised whereby advantage
of it can be taken.

tative Perry's activity in behalf of
statewide prohibition. Local no-license
workers are taking the usual measures
to point out the advantages that Brat
tleboro enjoys by reason of its dry pol
icy and it is believed that this appeal
to the common sense of the voters will
be sufficient to maintain the big no ma
iority of recent years
By way of response to The Meddler 5
inquiry why the selectmen did not Sc
cure and submit to the voters the opin-
ion of the road commissioner on the ad-
visibility of the town s purchase of
motor truck for use in road work
Messrs. Mellen and StelIman call at
tention to the fact that Mr. Walker is
in the livery business, intimating that
for that reason he would probably be
prejudiced in favor of the use of horse
drawn vehicles. While Mr.. Walker :
familiarity with and possession of
horses might make him skeptical of the
motor truck idea The Meddler still be
lieves that his opinion would be OF
public interest. If he can demonstrate
that highway work can be done cheaper
by the present method than by the us,
of truck the voters would like t,
know it. On the other hand, if he i:
opposed to the truck idea without hay
ing any good argument in support Of
his stand that also would be a matter
of public interest. The Meddler 5 only
idea in bringing this matter up again
is to get as many opinions on it "a
possible; the political aspect is of II,
, consequence.

If work on the station is really start
ell this spring and the contract for the
erection of the new federal building Is
awarded within a reasonable time af-
ter the date set for the submission of
estimates Brattlehoro is likely to see
a good amount of building activity
through the coming summer, for it is
understood that several other projects
of considerable Importance are under
consideration among them one for the
erection. of large building for garage
purposes. Then, of course. there is the
probability that work will be started
on the Odd Fellows clubhouse. while
announcement already has been made
of the intention Of numerous people to
build residences. 1t is to be hoped that
ALI of these projects will materialize
because the past winter has been a
hard one for the men who gain their
