Meeting of Vermont Editors.

The meeting of the Vermont Press
association as the guests of the uni
versity of Vermont was one of the
epochal gatherings of that organiz.l-
ton. 1t brought the editors of the
state into closer touch with the mag
for educating the young people of the
state for Vermont life. 1t revealed to
them the high purposes of the man.
agement of the university to serve well
all who come to that institution for
higher and more complete educa-
ton. The banquet of Vermont foods
and products served by young ladies
mastering the intricacies of domestic
science in a Vermont institution was
a forcible demonstration of the re-
sources of the state. There was gem
uine pleasure and an education that
should make every editor a promoter
of Vermont. Each man returning
from that meeting should be endowed
with the material for a year of help
full, and optimistic writing.
We also desire to acknowledge the
good work of former President Gill
pin and Secretary Johnson as heads
of the organization for the past two
years. They took charge of the work
of the association when it was at a
low ebb. BY faithful and thoughtful
effort they awakened an interest that
made such a large and beneficial
gathering possible. They have put
new life into the organization and di-
rected it's forces to a more practical
in the field of Vermont |
journalism. The meeting was a con-
demonstration of their assist |
ance to the organization. 1t was a |
very satisfactory reward of their la
bors. We congratulate them on the
record they have made.
Their successors are worthy of the
mantle that has fallen upon their
shoulders. In President Hindley and
Secretary Cushing we see evidence
that the usefulness, influence and pro-
gress of the Vermont Press associa-
ton will not only be continued but
carried to even greater heights.

A Wise Suggestion.

One OF the gems of the annual mid
winter meeting OF the Vermont Press
association at Burlington last week
was the short and carefully prepared
address OF Sara Parker. editor of the
Bradford Opinion, on Vermont
Possibilities as a Summer Resort. -
Miss Parker gave a beautiful presen-
tation OF the scenic attractions of the
state. spoke Of the necessity of proper
hotel comodations and then said
Vermont should develop its local
legends and historical features. While
Europe has good scenery and attract
i've hotels people are drawn to the
historic spots of that continent more
by the Imagination and romance of
the history Of the place. The truth OF
this statement is evident to all.
Nearly every scenic attraction of
Vermont has an interesting or heroic
legend or authentic history that fires
the imagination Of the nonresident
and arouses in him a desire to visit
the place Nearly every hamlet is the

resting place Of some person who has
been prominent in the history OF, the
Green Mountain state or the nation.
Humanity still loves o hero, a ro-
nance, successful adventure or con-
structive statesman. 1t still loves to
pay homage to these. things and the
opportunity to do so in addition to
witnessing the beautiful scenery Of
the place and enjoying the hospitality
of good hosiery is an increased in
centive to visit the scenes with which
they are connected. When Vermont
was the highway of hostile expeditions
to and from Canada, of murderous
red men; when it was maintaining an
independent government and building
a state government in advance of the
older states, and while its forests were
being leveled and its fertile soil pre-
pared for the body of sturdy husband
men who established its homes of
virtue and purity and men of national
caIiber were being developed. it was
the scene of unexcelled heroism, win
ming wisdom and virile craftsmanship.
The locality of these acts is widely
distributed throughout the state and
should be made known to every resi-
dent.
Miss Parker, in presenting these
thoughts. revealed to the newspaper
men of Vermont an opportunity to |
aid in making public the attractive |
history of every locality, a work that
appeals to the imagination of every |
citizen; she spoke a thought valuable
to the development of Vermont a |
Mecca for all lovers of beauty an6

wisely in re-nominating Mayor Z. E.
Langley for another term. During
his first term Mayor Langley has
shown himself an excellent municipal
manager and with a years experience
back of him will undoubtedly make a
better showing in his next term. We
rejoice in this recognition of Mayor
Langley's value and congratulate the
city of Barre on its prospect for an
other year of good business manage
ment.

strength For Republicans.

In a speech before the New York
state republican convention to select
delegates to the national republican
convention Ex-Sen. Elihu Root last
Tuesday night strongly scored the
Wilson administration for it's inter
| ference in Mexican affairs and its
complete failure to prepare the coun-
try for defense in the face of the
critical situations growing out of the
European war. He not only tore
down the present administration but
presented a strong constructive plat
form on which the republicans could
appeal to the country In answer to
the question, But what are the peo-
pie to expect if the republican party
is restored to power?" he said:-
This much we can say now:
They may expect with confidence,
that their government will meet the
economic situation with which we
must deal Immediately upon the close
of the war. with a policy of moderate
but adequate protection to American
industry, based upon ascertained and
established facts, and inspired ny
sympathy with all honest American
enterprise and a desire for the pros
perity and happiness of Americans of
every calling and in every state.
They may expect that the govern
ment will be administered with the
honesty and efficiency which have
marked republican administrations in
the past in the interest of no section or
class, but for the interest of the ma
ton as a whole and in every part.
They may expect that the best pos
sible course for the preservation of
peace will be followed by a foreign
policy which, with courtesy and
friendliness to all nations, is frank
and fearless and honest in it's assar-
ton of American rights, and leaves no
doubt anywhere in the world of
Americas purpose and courage to
protect and defend her independence,
her territory and the lives and just
rights of her citizens under the law of
nations.
They may expect that their govern
ment will stand for full and adequate
preparation by the American people
for their own defense.
They may expect that assured read
mess for defense will give power to
our diplomacy in the maintenance of
peace.
They may expect that the power
and will of a united people to defend
their country will prevent the apph-
cation to our peaceful and prosperous
land of the hateful doctrine that
among nations might makes right, re-
CARELESS of the rules of justice and |
humanity.
They may expect that the manifest,
potential strength and competency of
the nation will maintain the effective
ness and reality of that great policy
of national safety which in the declar
alton of President Monroe forbade
destruction of our security by the es-
tabIishment of hostile military powers
in our neighborhood.
They may expect that their govern
ment will not forget, but will ever
maintain the principles of American
freedom, the duties of America I'd the
peace and progress of the world, and
those ideals of liberty and justice for
all mankind which above all else make
the true greatness of the Amer:can
democracy.
No stronger or more sufficient pro-
gram can be presented to the country
than this declaration by this able

LICENSE ISSUE
F. H. Brooks Urges Voters To Sup
port The Perry Act and Vote
Against License In Town
To the Editor of the caledonian:

To the Editor of the Caledonian:
On the question of high license anC
the adoption of the Perry amendment
it is a matter of considerable regre
that there should be any doubt as tt
the wisdom of taking what appears tt
be the next progressive step for Yer.
monters The adoption of the Perry
amendment and a vote against licens-
ing the saloon will definitely improve
conditions in Vermont-not alone al
regards the drink problem. but, be-
cause this vexatious question is so fan
reaching in its influence, this new leg
islation will result in strengthening
and increasing all our resources
bank deposits, civic pride, business eff
fciency, educational work, better con-
ditions for employer and employee.
Progress has been made in the last
few years, not because of local option
entirely, but more because temperance
sentiment and public opinion were
imm easurably stronger than in the
past. Kansas has gained much under
prohibition Having now driven the
| saloon from all but a few towns in
this state, and with a tremendous ma
jority against the saloon, is it fair to
all concerned that these few towns
should definitely injure all conditions
through the state? This is a coun-
try where majorities rule.
That there can be any doubt on this
great question is directly traceable to
the misinforming statements, the
falsehoods, the hidden snake-like
methods employed-an well known
loon oftentimes skillfuny and again
most glaringly and foolishly use. The
shameful effort made to make it ap-
pear that our high minded governor
was against the Perry amendment was
a good illustration. All praise to Gov.
Gates for his unequivocal stand in
this matter 1t is a fortunate thing
that this happened for it only mani
tests the deceitful and corrupt meth
DDS that are used when the saloon has
to fight for its right to live.
1t all boils down to a question of
becoming assets or liabilities in the
state, as to whether good or evil, gain
or loss, respect for law or crime, abil-
ity to think clearly, act straight and
build up. or to be muddled, act crook
ed and be allied with the destructive
element of society, shall overbalance.
In plain English where does one who |
loves his self respect, his home, his
town, his state and country, desire to |
stand in such a list of assets and liza |
bilities? If on the asset side there
can be no honest reason why he should |
not want to vote Yes on the Perry |
and mo" on the question
as to whether the saloon license shall
be granted in this town.
If one desires to become a liability
to his town and state, let him reverse
his vote on the two questions to b.
acted uponzAt the next town meeting.
That the whole state may be white"
and be relieved of the 20 or 80 plague
spots now acting as distributing points
for the traffic that kills and destroys
is my most earnest wish.
Respectfully yours,
FRANK H. BROOKS.

ANIMAL MOVING PICTURES
Everyone Should Hear VIM. e. Fin
ley AT The Colonial and Fish
and Game Bannuet


and Game Banquet.
Editor of The Caledonian:-
see you gave a good notice of the
proposed lectures of VIM. E. Finley,
at st. Johnsbury, the afternoon and
evening of Feb. 20. Mr.. Finley prob
ably has the most up-to-date moving
pictures on wild life of anyone in this
country and it would be a good thing
if every child in the public schools
could attend one of these lectures
Mr.. Finley lectures the afternoon of
March 1, at the Sportsmen's conven-
ton, at Burlington, and is one of the
after dinner speakers for moving pic
lures on the occasion of the league
banquet in the evening, he also is one
of the lecturers at the Game Breeder
conference to be held at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel, New York, on March 6,
at which time the price of the dinner
is SIS a cover. 1 merely speak of this
for two purposes, one in the hopes
that you will encourage as much as
possible the young people to attend
the lectures at st. Johnsbury and also
to call attention to the fact that in
our plans for the convention at Bur-
lington and also for the dinner, we
have some of the best authorities in
the world. Besides Mr.. Finley, we
have Conservation Commissioner
Pratt, of New York, who is also slat-
ed for the conference at the Waldorf
Astoria and who is the principal
speaker with moving pictures at the
SIS dinner function. In other words,
the after dinner talks at our Fish and
Game league banquet are worth more
to each participant than the price
paid per plate for the food served on
that occasion.

Congressman William d. stephens
of California has introduced a bill in
congress ITO acquire construct and
maintain a national defense highway;
to provide employment for citizens of
the United States, and to physically
and mentally educate them for de-
fense." In appealing to the press for
support of the measure Congressman
Stephens says it will provide a nation
al highway 10000 miles long, that
will give work at good wages for many
years to at least 100000 American
citizens in good times and several
times that number in hard times"
That indicates the expenditure of
hundreds of millions of dollars. We
would suggest that before the coun-
try undertakes any such expensive
scheme for defensive purposes it
learn whether or not the army au
thorities think such a scheme neces-
sary for defense. 1t looks to us more
like a new pork barrel than real
practical undertaking for defense.

We have purposely refrained from
discussion of the referendum on thu
Perry Bill until this time. not because
we have lacked convictions on th'
matter but because there has beer
much unsound argument on the ques
ton. Speakers in the state favorint
statewide prohibition have made un-
wise and in some instances we believe
untruthful statements and the advo-
Gates Of local option have certainly
misrepresented Gov. G. w. Gates in
the matter. This is equally reprehen-
sible on both sides and we think an
educate the public on the subject.
Gov. Gates views on the highway
problems of the state or the attitude
Of a senate committee towards an
amendment providing national pro-
hibition are not at issue in the vote
on the Perry Bill in Vermont and
should not be imposed on the people
at this time.
The real. issue is do you favor state
wide prohibition as proposed by the
Perry Bill or local option under the
present law. This question is before
every voter of the state and he will
answer it by his vote as he thinks
best.
We favor statewide prohibition be-
cause we believe a majority of the
people favor prohibition in their own
and surrounding communities. The
claim for years for local option was
that majority Of the voters desired
it and it was finally adopted by very
small majority of the vote cast on
that issue. That majority is the JUS
LITIGATION of the local option law and
a majority is just as strong a justif-
cation of a prohibitory law
We favor it because statewide pro-
hibition will more fully protect the
communities voting against the open
saloon than the present law. Anyone
who has travelled on a train coming
out of license city or town on a Sat
urday afternoon or evening must have
noticed that local option is not con-
fined to the town voting in favor of
the saloon. Liquor purchased in a
licensed place to be taken into no
license towns is in evidence and
enough cases of intoxication are seen
to force the conclusion that no license
communities suffer the worst effects
of the saloon which under the present
law is beyond their control. The no
license communities should have bet
ter protection than the present local
option law gives them.
We favor the Perry Bill because
prohibition has proven the most eff
fective method of depressing the sale
of Intoxicating liquor. Business in all
it's branches desires the prohibition
OF the use of intoxicating liquors.
Medical science no longer recognizes
alcohol as a necessity or even as a
beneficial medical agency. The moral
spirit OF the day condemns the sale
and use of intoxicating liquors. With
these three powerful influences de-
string prohibition it is the duty of the
state to give it in it's most effective
form.
For these reasons we urge the voter
to vote yes on the Perry Bill and no
on the question Of whether we shall
have license in our town.
