LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
Travelling Mems Position on Liquor.

Editor Times May have the priv.
lege Of using your columns to express my
opinion on the much talked-of Perry
bill? There has recently come to my at
tention the statement that the Vermont
Hotel association was opposed to the
Perry bill, and among the reasons for SO
doing that the travelling public desired
liquor,
Now | am willing to admit that there
are large number of people travelling
who are not statesmen, but without the
salesmen's patronage any hotel | ever Wis
tied would starve TO death.
A very large majority of the best no.
tells in Vermont have no liquor license
in connection with their establishment,
and they have got along very nicely for
many years. | wish to state most EN-
phatically that the hotels in Vermont
compare favorably with, and many are
far better than, those in other states and
very few of these have a liquor license.
/ have talked with many hotel men in
this and other states who have bar in
their hotel and they are almost unani-
nous in the statement that less than
three per cent of the travelling men who
come to their houses are patrons of their
bar.
| am aware that there is a common
impression among good people that trav-
cling men as class use liquor more or
less copiously. That state of affairs may
have been true once, but it is very far
from true to-day. Statesmen to-day are
almost total abstainers and deliberately
avoid hotels that have a bar. When you
sum up the number of statesmen in this
country, 100000. you will realize that it
is almost good-sized army and then
understand that less than three per cent
of them patronize a bar, it is an over
whelming reputation of the slanderous
libel of a few perhaps well-intentoned
people who advocate a license for the
benefit the travelling men"
Competition is so keen to-day that no
business house will tolerate |
the use of liquor among its employees. |
And, further. they fully realize that in /
order TO stay in the game and keep on |
the payroll they must maintain them.

The German war headquarters was
caught in an absolute misstatement in
the assertion last week that the German
forces attacking the defenses Of Verdun
had captured Champneuyille, a position
OF considerable strategic possibilities
and the correction was promptly made.
The line OF communication between the
western war front and the world is too
accessible to permit them to make any
false assertions concerning the progress
of events with the expectation of having
the world believe them. Vastly different
conditions are to be found on the war
fronts in the Balkans and Galieia; and it
is more difficult for truth to catch up
with falsehood However, it should be
said for the benefit Of the Germans that
there were very prompt in correcting the
erroneous report regarding the capture
of Champneuville.

INsrRUcTING THE ADULT ALIENS

1NSTRUC1lNG HE ADULT ALIENS,
plan of opening an evening public
school in Rutland is suggested by the
city superintendent of schools, David b.
Locke, although the suggestion is accom-
panied by the recommendation that be
cause of the lack of funds it will not be
possible to put the project into effect at
the present time In communities where
there is a large percentage of alien popu-
lation, like Barre, for instance an even
ing public school would prove of very
great advantage not only TO the individ-
ual but to the community as a whole in
asmuch as the public school is one Of the
Such a school would not be intended to
specialize but to give general training
to young men and women who are com
PEELED to work during the daytime and
who are ambitious to make advance in
the country which they have chosen as
their own but in which ambition they
are handicapped by ignorance Of the Ian
gusge, customs, etc. Such a school
should also be free as to tuition and open
10 those between certain ages because it
manifestly would be impossible 10 ae-
commodate all aliens who might desire
10 enroll in the school A large added
expense would fall upon any community
which undertook such an ambitious un-
dertaking, but the results in the long run
results in an enlightened Americanism
would be very large indeed We should
like 10 see the time when Barre would b.
able to give the rudiments Of an eduea
tion to the hundreds Of Young men and
Young women who come to the city from
foreign lands and who are beyond the age
at day school attendance.

If the states publicity department is
TO issue booklet setting forth Yer.
mont's attractions as a summer resort,
the work should be done as soon as pos
sible so that Vermont can receive the
benefit in 1915 Of the vast amount Of
tourist business that is still kept away
from Europe by reason Of the war. For
season and half the summer resorts
in the United States have been greatly
benefitting at the expense Of Europe; and
they are likely to benefit just as much
during the season next at hand Yer
mont cannot afford to lose any opportu-
mites along that line; and hence the
fullest publicity is desirable.

A United States standing army of 49,

vet the number is so much more than
the present availabes as to lend encour-

States is awakening TO its serious situa
ton. A federalizing of the National
Guard together with its increase to 424'-
900 during the next five years, is, like
wise, strong encouragement. The pol
