Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1916-03-01

L. P. Jenne of Derby is quoted in
the Local Option booklet under the
heading, "Men Who Favor Present
Law" The Monitor printed the quo
tation two weeks ago. Mr.. Jenne says
he is misrepresented in this quotation
and is heartily in favor of the Perry
law and will vote for it. This booklet
in offending and misrepresenting Gov
ernor Gates, making an error in the
number of present license towns and
unfairly quoting letters of Vermonters,
must be taken with considerable
grain of salt. There are too many
errors and misrepresentation in it to
strengthen the cause of local option
advocates. Take no chances. Vote
for the Perry bill.

If there is any foundation whatever
in the rumor that the Montpelier Jour-
nal is to be revived,it should be treated
as something more than a joke. A
newspaper is recognized as moulder
of public opinion and the Montpelier
Journals revival in field where no
sane man would think of starting it as
sane business proposition, means
simply that private interests will sup
port it for a reason. Above all enter
prises, newspaper ought to pay
respectable return on the investment
required for its publication. Vermont
has too many newspapers already that
do not apparently pay their own way
and are probably supported by some
one for more or less selfish reason.
A lay newspaper which starts publ
cation with anything but the likelihood
of a healthy business existence has no
place in the world
The Bennington Banner some time
ago argued that the Perry measure
would deprive US of needed medical
aid, yet scarcely physician has been
quoted as fearful. Later the Banner
pointed out that the churches using
fermented wines for sacramento pur-
poses would needs go out of the state
for their wines, still no church has
protested against the bill on this point
Now the Banner asks what could be
done in the state laboratory of hygiene
for alcohol if the Perry bill passes,
and the Monitor understands those
doing the actual work in the laboratory
are nea ly al Favorable TO the Perry
me sure. Strange that nearly all the
points the Banner raises find no cham
pions from the very persons it thinks
will be handicapped. We just wonder

anyone from the state laboratory ever
went to the saloon for their official

optionists become thinner and thinner
Besides four communications printed
in this issue on various matters to be

One of particular interest is from g

Fletcher FeeIer

Now and then an intimation is thrown
out that ex-Gov. A. M. Fletcher NAV
enter the field against CAROLS Page for
Senatorship. Most of these intimations
have no doubt been largely in the nature
of ieelers, and if so the response must
have been somewhat discourging to
those who were looking for an express
ion of public sentiment favorable to his
candidacy.
1t is probably true that MIR. Flether's
ambition to occupy a seat in the United
States Senate is just as keen as it ever
was and for the attainment of which his
whole official career and public activity
has been shaped. The unwritten noun
tain or district rule would not deter a
man of Mr. Fletcher's consuming Amb;-

of Vermont traditions and political
ethics.

cedars Of Lebanon Still Stand.

Perhaps the most historic little for
est on the face of the globe is the
Cedars of Lebanon. Famed for their
age, size and beauty and their connec-
ton with the Scriptures, these trees
are visited by pilgrims from all over
the earth.
They are located in Syria, and be-
cause there are no forests of tall trees
In that land they have the reputation
of being the most lofty specimen of
the vegetable kingdom. But the red
wood trees of California, reaching
height of 800 feet, dwarf their modest
80 feet. Nevertheless, the girth Of
their trunk is enormous, the largest
being At feet in circumference.
All that now remains Of the Cedars
Of Lebanon are some four hundred
trees. They rise from small plateau,
situated at an altitude of 6,123 feet
above sea level. But, beautiful as
they are, their interest to the world
lies only in their connection with the
temple built by Solomon and the vari-
GUS illusions to them In the Bible.

Johnson 12--P. A. A

Saturday, their inability to hit Mobbs
effectively together with comedy Of
errors giving the game to the visitors by
a score of ~ to 4. The Johnson mound
man was given excellent support and
struck out nine of the P. A. men.
The locals went right after Mobbs in
the first and secured three scores. Burn
ham and Martin singled and the former
scored on a sacrifice by Duffy, after Sllo-
way famed. Martin was forced out at
second, Bedell sacrificed and Silloway
was hit by a pitched ball. A pretty bin
gle, good for the initial sack, by Church
i'll, scored Bedell and Duffy. Newton
ended the fun by three fruitless swipes.
P. A. did not score again until the
ninth, when Hubbell, batting for New
ton, drew cheap base, was advanced
by Law and Burnham on pretty singles
and scored on Martins sacrifice.
The Johnson team shows marked i'm
provement over former years and played
gilt-edged quality of ball. Bailey fea-
tured at the bat with two triples and a
single, while Stiles work at shortstop
was fast and accurate.

the wording of the subject, Human
Immortallty-Natural or Conditional,
which? it will allowed there are two
schools of theology. Grant this fact,
the Bible is either in favor of one or
the other; they are diverse, and the
Bible does not contradict itself. Con-
slider this subject by Common Sense,
Science and the Bible. A doctrine
founded on these will be Bible doc
trine. The first teaches, if man is at
all immortal, he cannot die, if the
righteous are naturally immortal, so are
the wicked; if immo tality is put on at
conversion, it must needs be put off at
backsliding, which would at once des-
troy the sense of the term. No man
has ever died and lived through it.
