One of the New York papers makes
an Interesting story, showing the re-
sourcefulness and ingenuity of New
England manufacturers in securing
an adequate supply of steel when the
railroads were enforcing embargoes on
freight shipments. One Connecticut
company has chartered barges and is
Heating the much needed supply Of
wire rods from the Trenton plant of
the American Steel and Wire com
pany down the canal and Raritan
river and up the sound to the works.
Another Connecticut manufacturer
after securing steel by boat in the
same way is trucking the metal thirty
to forty miles overland. One New
England manufacturer of war NUM-
tons, requiring a constant exchange
of supplies between the Bethlehem
Steel company works and the New
England plant, has established an au-
tomobile line between the two points.
with relay in New York city. An
other illustration of the stress under
which manufacturers are working is
the chartering of a freight ear as a
passenger coach rate by a manufac-
turer in New Jersey. The freight car,
which contained hinges-essential to
the continuance of work at the fac
tory-was located at New England
point. The railroad refused to carry
the car until the manufacturer offered
to pay passenger rates. The Gear was
then attached to a regular passenger
train.

FINALLY.

The Reformer quoted with approval
on Saturday the Springfield Reporter s
suggestion that the state papers !" en-
gage upon a campaign Of education
which viii result in an enforcement of
the liquor law, and recruits to the
practice of total abstinence, such as
the state has never before seen. We
have already said, and the fact is
worth emphasizing, that last Tuesday s
decisive no-license vote in the state as
a whole, coincident with the vote
against the enactment of statewide
prohibition, is conclusive proof that the
sentiment of Vermont in favor of tenn
peranee and against the evil of liquor
selling, was never stronger than TODAY.
And there was never time when it
was more clearly the opportunity and
the duty, not only of the newspapers,
but Of everyone who believes in tenn
perance law enforcement, to actively
support and strengthen this sentiment.
The local-option law will only be-
come weakened and Intellectual when
we become Indifferent about its en-
forcement and look with lenience ppon
otfenses against it. Here in Windham
county public sentiment not only ap-
proves, but demands its strict enforce
ment. The only danger now is that
under last week 5 overwhelming vote
we may grow less watchful. The iusti-
fication for the vote against a prohibi-
tory law must come through a constant
and impartial enforcement of our pres
ent Law. Not only must bootleggers
and obscure dives be summarily dealt
with, but there must be no favoritism
toward infractions higher up-not if we
want public sentiment to STAY behind
the law. 1t was rottenness of en-
forcement which killed the old pro-
hibitory law, and the same state of
things, if allowed to creep in. will kill
the lOcal-option law in due course.
Beyond this, the really essential
point: We have had a long time of
writing and talking and preaching
about liquor laws and methods for con
troll, and we have found out what the
people of Vermont want Now let press
and pulpit, and spellbinders and men
and women, in precept and practice,
put the emphasis whore it belongs: on
the incubation of temperance princi-
pies that mean something, and against
habits and practices which spell ruin
IN the end. The final responsibility is
on US all as individuals, and not on the
law.

Deserves Fair Treatment.


! Now that the battle is over and Yer
mont has declared so emphatically for
local option that the issue ought not
to be raised again for a good
many years, it is a good time to cut
out personal feeling over the issue.
Right here it may well be remarked
that Francis L. Perry of Brattleboro,
who stood sponsor for the bill, is one
! of the best citizens of that town. He
is a man of high character, decent life,
and the best of standing. Believing
that prohibition was best for Vermont
and living up to that belief in his per
sonal habits he consented to introduce
the bill prepared under the auspices of
the anti-saloon league. The bill thus
became known as the Perry bill
bic for it than Mr.. Perry He had the
courage of his convictions and is
to be respected for it, and particularly
by those who We're conscientious in
their opposition to the bill Another
man who deserves fair treatment is
Supt. Clifford II. Smith of the anti
saloon league. While The Banner en-
phatically disagrees with Mr.. Smith in
some of the statements he made we do
not question his sincerity or the honesty
of his intent and he should not be
blamed for the mistaken zeal of
some of the prohibition orators. Mr.
Smith tried hard to keep the contest
on n high level. As the Rutland Her
aid well and truthfully says, con the
whole an amazingly good temper was
maintained, much credit for which is
due to Mr.. Smith, He also shows
himself to be good sportsman by be-
ing prompt to demand the repeal Of the
prohibition bill. As it now stands. I'M
der the ponderous form of referendum
which is the only form available in
Vermont, the Perry bill will eventually
become law unless repealed by the
legislature and Mr. Smith s demand
that it be repealed at the next session
shows his desire to fair.

The safety-pin is a humble imple-
ment which is used to hold babies TO-

pin thousands of sweet, innocent ba-

legged attitude.

Yesterday was the 22d anniversary

light upon the present wrangle over
President Wilson's appointment of
Louis D. Brandeis, it is interesting to
recall that Whites confirmation fol
lowed a bitter fight in which the
senate rejected two appointees of
President Cleveland, both New York

IN the realm of invention we have
the murderous, brass-iaw safety-pin
with which babies are pinned to their
clothes every day. How often is it
the case that a wee baby cries in its
sleep, in a fitful manner. and is imme-
dlately treated for collie, when the
chances are ten to one that it has
been impaled upon a long, sloping
safety-pin.
If the laws of this country were in
tended TO render equal and exact Jus
tlce, the safetypin would be banished
from polite society and supplanted by
the clothes pin. This would be a
great relief to scores of husbands who
have tried TO dress a playful, squirm-
/ ing baby while their wives were at
the club, and in doing so have run a
two-lneh safety-pin through their left
/ thumb. If Congress would pay more
attention to such practical legislation
as this and less TO pork, there would
be more happiness in married life.
A popular form of safety-pin is the
Touring which is used to pin an
abusive husband TO the kitchen floor.
The use of this pin, as a corrective i'm
plement, is advocated by both press
and clergy and upheld by cur courts.
