Here Is the Reason.

Why Vermont voted against pro- hibition by a vote of nearly two to one is explained as follows in the Cincinnati Enquirer:
 vermonts declination of the in- wtation of the Anti-Saloon League, that had caused the passage by the legislature of the Perry law" to join the column of prohibition staytes, has occasioned considera- ole surprise in various directions. The emphasis of it, as shown in the figures of the vote on the ques- ton as submitted to the voters, is surprising to even the Green Noun tain people In the last Presiden- tial election Vermont cast 62,O07 votes. of which 1,154 weer for the prohibition candidate. In the last election for governor, in n-1914, the Prihibition candidate received 1,- O74 votes. In the special election, early last month, on the liquor question in real earnest, there was a total of 5O,6O6 votes, of which 32,131 were against prohibition and 1S,475 were for the measure.
 Big Vote Out.
 At the same time there was an election on direct primary, which carried by a small majority. The on prohibition drew out B. 900 more votes than on the direct primary Only 45 out of the 246 towns" as the voting districts are called, gave prohibition majorities. i Most decidedly Vermont has con cluded to retain the local option law of 1903, which was indorsed by a | majority of 729 in the whole state to take the place of the original ]

Liouor Men Inactive.

Significance connected with this election and the positive result of it lies in the fact that there was no special effort on the part of the H. quor interests in opposition to that of the Anti-Saloon League. Only one county out of the fourteen, that of Orleans, which touches the Cam ada line, gave majority for prohi- ton. Evidently the large majority of the voters believe in home rule by towns or counties in the business.
 The people of Vermont were gen. erally moderate in the use of stim- ulants, but under prohibition they inclined to wink at infractions of the law. Many of them believed in personal liberty in the use of rum brought in from the Atlantic states and of the white whisky from Cam ada. Lager beer was unknown to them in those days. On certain oc- casions the sturdy farmers man. aged to get their egg-nog, tom and jerry or something straight. as at town meetings or county fairs, but without much excess. And today, in the districts wet by local option, there are not to be seen many evi- dences of oyerindulgence.
 Bad for Dry" Wave
 Comment from Montpelier tells us that it had been generally sup posed that Vermont would 80 dry" and there, as elsewhere in that state. people are still engaged over analysis of figures and conjectures as to conditions to account for the formidable resistance there present. ed to the wave of statewide prohi- Dition sweeping over the country. One of the weak reasons assigned is hat sAe proposed law made no pro- yislon for use of alcohol for either or mechanical purposes. \ better one Is perhaps found in he fact that the people, as whole, prefer local option; tha@ the coun- ies or towns should attend each to ts own business. The dry districts ind present conditions quite satls- actcry, with the belief that they viii continue to have better pro- ection of their views than they 1ould have under state prohibition.

CPAID ADVERTISEMENT
WHY VERMONT VOTED
 AGAINST PROHIBITION

prohibition law, following the Maine liquor law of 1S46 and 1851, to which this state, in 1852, gave q majority of L17O votes.
 Considerable interest attaches to the course of this state in some things. Vermont was the first state admitted to the Union under the Federal Constitution-in 1791-and was the first state not only to abol- ish what little African slavery there was within it's own borders, but was also the first to oppose that insti- tuition in other states.

Some of our contemporaries con-
tinually use the term murder" in
speaking of homicide. 1t is our
idea that killing is homicide un-'
til it is proven otherwise. The courts
in South Carolina very rarely sustain
any one in calling a homicide muir
der, because there are very rare con-
victions. What you may think looks
like murder, will doubtless look
different to the jury. Anyway, a
person is presumed to be innocent
until proven guilty. And we South
zCarolinians are not very strong be-
levers in proving anybody guilty of
murder.

Infected Milk Causes Typhoid.

The following is issued by the Unit
ed States public health service:
Seventy-six out of eighty-seven
cases of typhoid fever which occurred
in a recent outbreak have been traced
by the United States public health
service to infected milk. Had the
first cases been reported to trained
health officer the outbreak could have
been stamped out promptly. When
will we learn that disease prevention
is sure and cheap?

It is to be hoped that the county
convention will put itself on record
as being opposed to the county-to-
county campaign every two years.
No good comes of this plan of cam
paigning., Now, every candidate for
a State Office is compelled to fol-
low the campaign party, whether he
wants to do so or not. If he departs
from the custom, he puts himself
completely out of the running. 1t
is a hardship upon the poor man
in fact a. poor man cannot afford to
have political aspirations for a State
ofiee-because, to begin with, a
large expenditure is required to
make the canvass with the campaign
party. If the county-to-county cam
paign is abolished, a candidate can
conduct his campaign as he sees mt.
If he wants to stay at home and con-
duct his campaign by publicity in
the newspapers or by circulars di-
rect to the voters, he can do so. Or,
if he wants to conduct county-to-
county campaign, he can arrange his
own meetings. Anyway, the cam
paign meetings, as now held, only
afford food for the cheap politician
and demagogue. There is no time
for the discussion Of issues: A can
didcte is allowed a few minutes in
which to discuss matters which
would require hours. Of course he
cannot do it, and so he usually COM
promises the matter by eliminating
the issues entirely, tells a few jokes.
expresses his delight at being among
such good people, thanks his audi
ence for the very kind attention &C
corded him, and sits down. Those
who start out on the issues have to
be so brief that they are more often
misunderstood. The present system
of campaigning also probably does
more than anything else to keep par
tisan feeling at white heat during
the campaign.

At an election held Tuesday, the
voters of Richland county emphatical-
" declined to vote in bond issue OF
million dollars for permanent road
Improvement. The election is not to
be considered, though, if we under
stand the matter, as a protest against
good roads, but rather against the
manner in which it was sought to Sc
cure permanent improvement.

Carried Potato 80 Years.

A potato, hard and dry as wood,
and shrunken to the size Of walnut,
is the treasured pocket piece of Pat
rick Downes, a grocer on Belle
street, Alton, who has carried it for
thirty years and believes it has kept
rheumatism away.
He was a sufferer from rheumatism
when, at friends advice, he began
to carry the potato, which was then
good-sized one. He says that his
rheumatism disappeared, and that
for many years he has not suffered a
twinge.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
