any local sentiment should not re-
strain a states attorney from carry
ing out their will. 1t never could
were it not for the political division
of the voters into parties regardless
of the prohibition issue. We do not
believe a majority of the voters in
any county in the state would favor
the open saloon and if they could
vote on simply a states attorneys
efficiency in enforcing the liquor law
they would keep the efficient man in
office. But with candidate for each
polictica1 division it might not be
possible to overthrow every states
attorney who neglected his duty in
that respect.
The fact is those who desire a sa-
loon know they could not get one
if they appealed to a larger electo-
rate than the town or city. They
know that a majority of the people
in the state are opposed to it and
if they are allowed to express their
sentiment the open saloon would be
wholly abolished. We fail to see
any reason why a man elected by a
whole county to execute the law
should not carry out the wishes of
the voters the same as a man should
carry out the sentiment of a single
town or city.

The Prohibition Referendum

The campaign for and against the
adoption of the statewide prohibi-
ton law is already actively under
way. In support of the law are
those who have always favored pro-
hibition and opposed to it are the
small minority who always vote for
more liquor and a considerable num-
Der of citizens who believe the pres
emit law more effectively checks the
sale of liquor than statewide pro-
hibition would. Each body is en-
titled to its opinions and should
welcome a full presentation of the
claims Of each to the body of vo-
tiers.
We shall at this time consider only
one phase Of the issue. Some men
present local option law believe that
the annual vote by each town gives
strength to the local enforcement of
prohibition if it is voted. In other
words they believe the enforcement
of laws relating to liquor is largely
a matter of local sentiment, that
each town should have the privilege
of saying whether it will enforce pro-
hibition or allow the sale of liquor.
It is true that local sentiment is
a strong influence in the observation
or violation of law but we fail to
see why local sentiment should pre-
vent the enforcement of a prohibi-
ton act. The law is largely execu-
ted by the states attorney, an Of
fetal elected by the county. If a
strong majority of the people of any
county want prohibition enforced

Successful Town Management

The town of Norwood, Mass, a
place about the size of st. Johns
bury, has engaged a town manager
to conduct its business. He has been
working less than a year but the
report of the officers of the town at
a public meeting indicates much sue
cess. This business organization
has a town manager at its head The
greatest asset of this organization is
the provision for continuity in of
fee of those whose experience in the
work done is of great value. The
town manager is not dependent upon
opinions Of other people. The whole
of the business organization is OPP
Grated upon cost and accounting
system. Facts are shown by figures.
1t is said the town manager is a sue
cess, the official organization will
continue him in office. He, in turn.
will continue in office the heads of
the departments who have contribu-
ted towards the general success.
The elective officers of the town
ike the selectmen, assessors, schools
committee, finance commission, ETC.,
serve without pay and men expert
in these various lines are chosen.
Among the benefits already shown
by the employment of a town man
sger are, the saving of several times
his salary as purchasing agent.
The electric light plant which had
been a tax on the town has been
made an asset to the town and is
now earning $4,000 above its ex-
penses. The cost of oiling the
streets has been reduced one-half, |
or to four cents a gallon. Crushed
stone has been reduced in cost from
forty-eight cents to twenty-five cents
a ton.
Under the former plan of gov
eminent, at certain times of the year
as many as $50 men were employed |
by the town, while at other times
not more than so were employed.
Now the years work is laid out in
advance. Men are shifted from one
to another as needed and
steady employment is found for
them throughout the year. The
men are also thus given an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate for which
work they are best fitted, so that the
town gets a maximum amount of eff
ficiency from it's employees. 1t is
simply adapting the business cost
and accounting system to municipal
government so that at all times any
citizen may know exactly what he is
for every dollar the town
spends.
A system that will bring such re-
suits should be carefully studied by
Ill towns to see if they too cannot
get more results for the money paid
as taxes.

Editor Hildreth of the Express
and Standard was certainly at his
best cover in Holland" not the land
of the Dutch but a small town in Or
leans county where he went to look
after subscriptions. He found some
pretty homes, some very frank wom-
en- and an opportunity to serve his
better. Here is one thing
he learned: TOO many farmers
work too hard. That is a fact
work too hard. He met two who
said they just jumped out of bed
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1915-06-23

onto the land, worked all day, and
jumped back into bed at night tired
out. No time to read a paper or
anything else. This kills the enjoy
ment of life Why should a farm
er work more hours than other men?
There are times when all men should
pause, hear the birds sing, see the
glorious sunsets, the sun and cloud
shadows rolling over the waving
grass, commune with nature, and
read the Express and Standard.
They would feel all the better for
it."

A MISTAKE MADE by MANY.
Don't wait for rheumatism to indi-
cate diseased kidneys. When you suf-
fer pains and aches by day and sleep
disturbing bladder weakness by night,
feel tired, nervous and run down, the
kidneys and bladder should be restored
to healthy, strong and regular action.
1t is mistake to postpone treatment.
Foley Kidney Pills put the kidneys In
sound, healthy condition and keep them
active and strong. Begin taking to-
day. Good results follow the first

1t has been decided that no cattle
outside of Vermont will be admitted
for exhibition at the state fair. That
of course means they will not be ad-
mitted to county fairs either. We be-
lieve this will prove a real benefit to
the farmers and fair managers alike.
Many local owners of good stock are
unwilling to compete with the wealth
of owners of fancy cattle. They
were not afraid of their cattle but
of the large expense the owners
would go to in making an exhibit.
This competition viii be eliminated
this year apd we hope that enough
Vermont cattle will be exhibited to
make the fairs the biggest and best
ever held.

NEW TROLLEY LINE
 COMING IN SPRING
New Haven, Meriden, New Britain and Hartford to Be Covered by
 Heavy, Fast Cars.

New Haven, Nov. 12.-New Haven is to be the financial headquarters of the new Meriden, New Britain and Hartford street railway company. Robert o. Eaton, recently elected di- rector in the Peoples bank; Ridley Larkin, of the David H. Clark com pany and Louis Fiske of Branford, make up the directorate. MT. Fiske is president and Colonel Eaton the secretary and treasurer.
 Given franchise to operate through Meriden, Kensington, New Britain and Hartford by the last gen. eral assembly, the new traction com- pany was incorporated in August. Stock to the extent of more than $1,- OOO,O is said to have been sold. The company received powers much broader than those permitted under the general railway law, and can op- crate over Connecticut company tracks in the towns named in the charter.
 Surveyors are working on the lay out of the road now, the right of way having been secured. Construction of the line is to be started in the spring, the directors say. They are now in the market for equipment, their cars to be similar to those of the Shore line electric.

REFUSE TO ENDORSE
 DEFENSE PLANS
National Guard Tables Resolution
 Approving Presidents Idea

San Francisco, Nov. 12-Refusal to indorse President Wilson's proposal for a continental army of 100000 men marked the closing session of the seventeenth annual convention of the National Guard association of the United States. Asheville, N. C., was selected as the meeting place for 1916, the date to be decided later by the ex- ecutive committee.
 A resolution proposing that the association approve President Will sons plans as made public in an ad- dress by the president at the Manhat- tan club, New York, was offered by General Henry D. Hamilton, of New York Without debate, the resolu- tion was referred to a committee.
 As an explanation of why General Hamilton's proposition was not acted upon favorably, officers of the organ ization said that Gen. Hamilton, al- though a member of the association, was not a delegate to the convention.
 In recommending that the resolu- tion be tabled, the executive commit tee reported the committee is of the opinion that the resolution presented was considered by the committee in it's report and that there is no neces- Slly IOT ldhInS further dCtlOIl. u was said the National Guard associa- tion was opposed to the continental army plan of President Wilson be- cause it was believed it would con- flict with the organization. Some of the officers contended that, if a larger reserve force was to be provided, it should be done under guidance of the National Guard.
 General Thomas J. Stewart, of liar risburg, Pa., was reelected president of the association for the seventh term.
 Among the vice-presidents chosen were the following: General c. c. Vaughn, Richmond, Va.; General F. Leroy Sweetset, Boston; General John F. Kirk, Lansing, Mich.; William F. Washington, D. G.; General William w. Moore, Columbia, s. G.; General Charles Macklin, Annapolis, Md.
