try by getting all Of the progressives
of all parties together under the new
party banner. But Wilson's election
put off the day. 1t didn't make the

licked. Now when he quits, he will
quit for good. Real Progressives will

TEDDYS FINISH. - Theodore
Roosevelt is a comparatively young
man, and up to a few days ago prob
ably had a greater and more devoted
personal following than any politi-
clan in America. No other man in
this country commanded such en-
thusiastic devotion from those who
believed in him. For no other man
would over a thousand earnest, pa
triotie men and women march and
sit and sing I'VE want Teddy for a
solid week. Yet he has played him
self into a might deep hole, and it
looks as if he were going to pull the
hole in after him. Only by sticking
on the ticket and fighting can he
hold his place in American politics
If he quits the fight and abjectly sur
renders to the Old Guard that steam
rollered him in 1912 he proves that
he has a yellow streak and is a quit

tempt of thousands who followed
him, blindly trusted him and loved

Legislation than all of the skilled
trades, including foor-walkers.
No man should be a candidate for
office in this country unless he knows
the difference between a disc harrow
and a corn-cutter. He should be a
rough and-ready speaker, able to turn
at once from a blistering attack upon
the Democratic tariff to fearful
tribute to the little bronze button. He
should also belong to three or four
churches, all of the lodges doing bust
ness IN the state, and carry union
card. The only thing that can defeat a
candidate who is thus equipped is a
landslide or yalvular heart trouble.
The candidate should be listened TO
with respect, for he may have it in his
power later on to distribute garden
seeds and postoffices among his con
stltnents. He should not be Judged bv
his looks, but by his vote. Some of the
homehest candidates ever forced into
public office have looked beautiful TO
their people during the roll call on an
important measure. 1t is better to nick
out candidate with a square head con
tanning few honest convictions than
trust to personal beauty coupled a
with a weak chin.

enough interest IN TOWN affairs to nav

and to the section of the Public
Statutes which it amends, will. it is
belleved, clearly demonstrate that Mr.
Powell s contention is correct.
Seemingly, the thing for all voters
to do, even if they are delinquent in
their taxes, is to insist on their
rights as American citizens and as
citizens of the state to cast their hal
lots upon these two referendums. It
IS not believed that the legislature has
any constitutional right to deprive
such citizens of an expression of
opinion on these two matters of state
policy.

Law ENFORCEMENT

The Vermont Antf-saloon league
must have been moved by that "vault-
ing ambition, which o 'erleaps itself
and falls on the other side when in
its pamphlet entitled yes it pub
fishes certain tables of statistics to
prove local option a failure. For in
stance, one table shows that the number
of commitments to the House of Cor
rection, for intoxication, i'll the last
II years of the-old prohibitory law, down
to 1908, was 1924, and that in the
succeeding II years, under the local
option law, the number of such com
mtments was 1902. What do these
figures really prove? The conclusion is
inevitable and is in accord with com
mon knowledge, that the old law was
not enforced during its last II years.
but liquor was openly sold in the hotels
and saloons and drunkenness was fla
grant in defiance of the law. Courts
could not convict or try violators of
the law unless they were prosecuted
and brought into court, and state s at
torneys found it useless to prosecute
when public sentiment would not sus
tain them. Result: conditions then pre-
vailed in Vermont that now exist in
Maine and, if reports can be relied on,
in several Southern states that have
enacted prohibitory laws

municipal courts, which certainly shows
that the local option law has been ac-
tive and efiicient-that there has been
no shortage in its enforcement.
The old law at its inception in 1852,
was very strict in its prohibitions, and
afterwards for 80 years its machinery
was in process of Improvement so that
IN 1902 it was as perfect a prohibitory
law III respect to selling liquors, in re-
spect to their importation for unlaw-
full purposes and in respect to intox-
lcation, as the friends of temperance
and men s ingenuity could devise, and
yet in the last years of its life it was
not enforced. It fell under public dis
approval, and the people, through the
legislature, in 1902, repealed it while
in the perfection of its strength and en-
acted local option which has been we'll
enforced. Now the proposition is to re-
turn to prohibition by placing on our
statute book law which is substantial
~ like the one repealed in 1902.
Statistics showing increased expense
in administering the local option law
fall short of the mark OF course it
costs money to enforce law A dead
or dormant law ought not to cost much.
1t is true that in commitments for in
toxication the state has to pay the
costs, but the convicted rum-seller has
to pay the costs and fines besides
1t is unfair to charge the increase of
crime in the last II years to a law
that has been well administered Crime

that cannot be fully explained. In
