From these figures i: will he seen
that every county in the state and both
congressional districts gave a majority
against license. The largest total
majority was in Caledonia county, and
the smallest in Essex county. But the
largest proportionate majority was in
Orl'a ans county, which gave majority
of more than four to one against Ii.
cense The smallest proportionate
majority was in Chittenden county,
six per cent of the total vote cast
The first district majority against IL
cense was eleven per cent of the total
vote cast. while in the second district
the vote against license was more than
two to one. Of the fourteen license
towns in the state, eleven are in the
first district and three in the secor
There are seven counties that have

A st. Johnsbury man was buried re-
Gently. He left a broken-hearted wife
and children rather poorly provided
for. His death is reported to have
been the direct result of licensed booze.
A st. Adams man was buried last
week. His death is supposed to have
been the direct result of legalized rum.
Yet the Rutland Herald is burning
with Indignation to think that the
Perry prohibition law does not provide
for the possible alcoholic needs of a
possible sick person at some future Pc
rod. Which reminds US of the story
of the weeping maiden. who, when
asked why she was so sad. replied,

be should l marry and have child and
he should crawl into the oven and the
door should be shut and he should be

With chaut uduas IN the summer
and liberal number CT lecture courses
in the winter months, Orleans county
towns enjoy kind of entertainment
that inspires, uplifts and strengthens
A particularly fire lecture course anc
beneficial arrangement prevails in the
town of Craftsbuty. where there are
three villages. A course comprising
six numbers and costing for talent
some $500, is maintained and two num-
bers are given at each of the three viii
lagos. In each village the place of
meeting is a church or town hall so NO
additional expense is incurred. the
course tickets are sold for an unusual
ly small figure and nearly the whole
populace of the township buys and pat
ronizes the entertainments. This ap-
peals to the Monitor as an ideal meth
cd of bringing really worth while tai
ent into the smaller communities. By
keeping out local jealouses and piques
many group of small towns might
cooperate and have a course of lec-
lures and ent ornaments that would
be distinct benefit to the commu-
nifty where any one village could not
possibly support gooi thing. Here
is practical work for organizations
with the community good at heart to
take up.

The difficulties the early Virginian
colonists had with their live stock Is
curiously illustrated by the fact that
in the colony Of Massachusetts bay
red calf was cheaper than black one,
experience having shown that the for

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Anonymous Letter Writing.

The suit against the Hyde Park and
Morrisville News and Citizen claiming
damages for an alleged libel contained
in a letter printed as anonymous,
knowledge of the authorship being
denied to the plaintiff by the editor,
has given rise to active discussion in
the state press. 1t seems that several
years ago the Randolph Herald and
News adopted the rule of not publish
ing any communication in the form of
letter to the paper or public without
printing the signature of the writer.
Several other state papers have since
then followed suit. The Bennington
Banner is one of these, and in making
the announcement it adds, "The Nor
risville case is apparently an illustra-
ton of a newspaper suffering for
somebody else's cowardice"
Well, that's Just the point. Why
didn't this anonymous letter writer
print his name, with his letter. When
he found out that the aggrieved person
was making Inquiries about the author
ship, why didn't he go to him in person
and acknowledge the letter and abide by
the consequences? Finally. when suit
was brought. why didn't he come to
the front and assume the liability. in
oCSdu VI i0dNlIS tuS SOlCOI III TIC
lurch? These questions carry their
answer with them. The answer is that
Mr.. Anonymous, like all anonymous
letter writer's lacks the courage and
the principles of man. 1t reminds
one, though the quotation does not ap-
ply at all points, of DR.. Johnson S
epigram on Lord Bolingbrcke. His
Lordship," said the doctor, 'is a
scoundrel and a coward "a scoundrel
because he loaded his blunderbuss
against providence and religion; a
coward, because he dared not fire it off
himself, but left a shilling to beggar
to pull the trigger. Huntington

AS a matter of fact, the Standard
was accurate, and it is in the Herald S
assertion that 229 Vermont towns are
'dry as covered bridge" that mac
curacy occurs. By 229 dry towns the
Herald undoubtedly refers to those
towns which are theoretically dry by
reason of their vote for no-license at
the annual March meeting. while any
one with the slightest powers of obser-
walton or reasoning knows that a good
proportion of them are wet by the

The Monitor is devoting considerable
space this week to the report Of Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent Deuel. given at
the annual meeting of the Orleans
County Agricultural association held
at Irasburg Friday. The attendance
denotes the interest in the association
and it's work. There are.still those who
believe it is time and money thrown
away to listen to the information a
county agent gathers from study, re-
search, experiment, observation and
information gathered from farm to
farm, but the growing interest among
the farmers of the county in the asso-
citation and its work ought to convince
skeptical ones that the hundreds of
farmers who are enthusiastic over the
benefits they have received are not
dupes.

only four states in the nation had
state-aid law previous to the year in
which Vermont enacted such a law.
Since that time all but four states have
adopted such law. Only seven states
now have greater percentage of sur
faced roads than Vermont and these
are all our Wealthiest states. The far

his ability to handle the situation have
