ton, and that much sooner than It will
ever come about through a forced
process that overrides the feelings of
the communities
These people, many of whom sup
ported prohibition because they knew
nothing better then. will support local
option now if it comes to submission.
Judge Tyler represents them fairly III
ms lucid statement. They each and
all vote No every year and will
continue to do so in their respective
towns. But they believe local option
as system is better and truer tenn
peranee measure than attempted state
vide prohibition would be, and for
that reason especially will they cleave
to it.
But not for that reason alone They
don t like the manner in which sub
mission IS being promoted. There is toe
much Perryism about it. Instead OF
making this question of prime import
ance an open issue it has been carefully
and apparently with design kept in the
t background. 1t has heretofore figured
more or less in state politics, but last
year 1t dropped out of sight. The Re
publican state platform had no mention
OF IT. Other platforms gave it little at
tentlon. Apparently, local option wa:
accepted as settled fact for the pres

BUYING AT HOME.

New England long has enjoyed an
enviable reputation as an industrial
center and New England people,
equally well known for their thrift and
patriotism, have it within their power
to maintain this reputation. 1t can
be done only in one way and that
is by patronizing home industries, by
buying home made goods The "Made
in America movement is all right so
far as it goes, but inasmuch as the
themselves and to their home district
to draw the line even more closely,
and guard the priceless heritage hand
ed down to them by their forefathers,
they should adopt a ''Made in New
England slogan. Just as New Eng
land men were the first to respond to
arms in the early days of the history
Of this country, so were New England
men among the pioneer inventors in
the industrial and commercial develop
ment of the world Many of the
]
the industrial life of the country, if
not of the entire world, were the
product of New England brains ant
New England genius. 1t therefore be
hcoves the people of New England to
day to do all in their power to per
petuate her fame as an industrial cen
ter by supporting those same indus
tries which are the results of the III
| boris of their ancestors and the prod
uets Of which have for years mad,
New England the most prosperous sec
ton of the country. This can be don
only by insisting upon New Englan,
made goods. The entire future o
these states is based upon the prosper
ity OF their industries. These indus
tries support thousands of familie
and leaving sentiment out of the que>
tion entirely, it becomes nothing NOR
nor less than a plain matter of bus
ness for our people to buy home-mad
goods. BY far the greater part O
every dollar spent for the products c

About the only thing done by the
esd congress as to the merits of which
there is not much difference of opinion
in the country is the passage of the
new banking and currency act, and it
remains to be demonstrated just what,
or how great, the value of that i'm
portant piece of legislation really is.
The tariff act, the antitrust and trade
regulation acts, the act "to penalize
purely speculative cotton future sales, -
and the establishing Of the government
war risk insurance bureau, are all
measures that are likely to do the
Democratic party more harm than good
not only in the long run but in the
very next national political contest. In
the last hours of the session the army
and navy appropriation bills were
changed so as to forbid the further APP
plication of Scientific or efficiency
methods in the government 5 factories
and on the same day new act was
pushed through, which prohibits com
mon carriers from limiting liability TO
freight and express shipments. 1t /
said that this law threatens seriou
complications and an increase in rate
to the public.

The Prohibitive Circus Tax.
elm Tree Monthlv.)

The bill now before the legislature
which proposes to reduce the license
tax on eireuses coming into Vermont is
exciting favorable comment around the
state and rightly so. The present tax
on circuses is $1,000, which is high and
prohibitive, and in addition the town
where the big tent Is pitched levies a
tribute running from $25 into the hun.
drcds. The state might go so far as
to abolish its circus tax without loss
OF dignity or self-respect. The big
shows are entertaining and instructive
the arenic marveIs AMI the animals
are q JOY and inspiration.

Milk Bottles,
(Manehester, \. H., Union.)

(Manehester, y. H, Union.)
We learn from our legislative cor
respondenee that bill to prevent milk
bottles from being used for vases, per
fume jars, canning purposes, ink
stands and prune holders has been
held up and referred to the commit
tee on agriculture. This is a wise
action. We trust that the bill will be
amended so as to include a provision
against the use of milk bottles as
cuspidors or umbrella stands 1t might
be well, too, to head off their CONVEX
sion into watering troughs or bath
tubs. Folks can't be too careful about
their milk bottles.

Frank Plumley of Mortified. who re-

sent faithfully the wishes of his con.
stituents and of the state of Vermont
in so far as it was possible in the light
Of developments at the national cap

Titcomb is on easily defensible ground
when he opposes the idea Of having

their value to a point far below The

Vermont legislators that they should
bear in mind that factory inspection
was not intended to be q sanitary
move alone. The inspector was sup
posed to look after the welfare of the
laboring classes, in mills and factories,

Vermont can not afford to neglect its
duty in the matter of social justice at
least to this degree.

As Others See Us.

Illuminating comments on the opin-
ions expressed about the United States
by many distinguished visitors, begin
ming with Capt. Basil Hall in 1927 and
lending with Prof. Huge Munsterberg
and H. q. Wells. We quote this from one
of our many critics and it undoubted-
ly would apply to other nations as well
as to ourselves: eff the American
should once become possessed of lit
| tie genuine humility, a humility with
out loss of courage or self-respect; if
he lost a little hardness in his self con
| fidence and became more teachable, his
mastery in the art of selfgovernment
would easily lead the world.

He does not abuse rich men nor con
