Time is one of the few articles used
by the ultimate consumer which can
not be put in cold storage. If time
were like the fresh country egg and
could be packed in salt for the use of
generations yet unborn, what bless
ing 1t would be to people who are be-
ginning to run short. As it is, however,
time evaporates faster than any other
product on earth except tank wagon
gasolene
Time is good deal like gasolene in
other respects, too. It is highly infiam-
mable, and is being burned every dav
by people who never realize what it
is worth until they look into the bot

about out. There would be less time

cessful of these is the habit of
dropping in on a busy business man
and discussing everything from the
cause of the Franco Prussian War to
the best cure for the quinsy. This
habit appears to be increasing in in
tenslty, and has already been respon-
s1Nle for number of hasty funerals.
When man has more time on his
hands than he knows what to do with.
he should retire to the hay-mow and
sleep off the surplus, instead of try
ing TO divide with somebody who
wishes there were 365 days in each
month.
Under our present system of regu-
latlon there is q very unequal dis
trlbution of time. Lots of men who
were always literally supported bv
their wives and could just as well be
spared as not are given an extra large
chunk of time, and live for a great
many years after the community has
become reconciled to their departure.
When we see strong, big-hearted citi-
zens cut down in middle life and then
note the durability of the octogenarian
deadbeat, we are sometimes inclined Ia
question the wisdom of Providence.

Fifty years of prohibition, not en-
forced, brought two years of license
in Brattleboro, and these two years
have been followed by u years in
which the town has been cleaner than
ever before in its history The senti-
ment III favor of temperance has
grown steadily, and the great factor in
that growth has been the agitation to
get out the "'no' vote each wear. II
will be easy to slip a little if we aban-
ton our annual temperance campaign.

The following interesting memoran-
da will show how the general officers
of Vermont fought during the war of
the rebellion: Vermont sent about 81
600 men to the war. She had one
major general, William f. Smith.
three brevet major generals, George ].
Stannard, Lewis A. Grant and William
Wells; four brigadier generals, John
W. Phelps, Stephen Thomas, James NJ.
Warner and Z. H. Stoughton; five
brevet brigadier-generals, George P.
Foster, John r. Lewis, William w.
Henry, Edward H. Ripley and Charles
3. Stoughton; total, IS. Of these the
three brevet major generals were
wounded from two to five times. two
Of the brigadier- generals Were wound
ed, and all of the brevet brigadier-
generals were wounded, which shows
conclusively that the general officers
Of Vermont led their men and were
under fire with them.

One Of the leading contentious of
prohibition advocates is that a IL
cense law makes the state a partner
in the liquor business. For the sake
Of argument grant this But how is
the actual partnership different in eff
feet, or in moral responsibility when
the state puts a prohibitory law on
its statute books and then permits or
winks at its open violations, as was
so constantly done for so years before
1908? A plain and definite answer
would be illuminating as to the NOR
ais e. and moral results of liquor law
legislation.

million and five million dollars The
national banks also earn million or

so much from the farmers, but if it

and Southwest where public spirit is a
real live thing, it is a common thing
for the banks and bankers of the
state to appropriate anywhere from
$4,000 to $4,000 to aid in BUILDING
up agriculture and other state inter

too hasty. 1t is a start which shows
that the matter has been called to
their attention. Vermont bankers are
pretty conservative. They are not
spendthrifts. No one who hears about
that hundred dollars can accuse them
of throwing away money, but it may
show that the roots of generosity have
sprouted; Even though at present it
is a weak, delicate and spindiing plant

Senator Dillingham; is the sponsor
OF temperance measure in Congress,
which ought to help prohibition pro

of intoxicating liquors out of the

One of the arguments of the prohibit

If it is prohibited in this state, seems
rather weak morally if it is strong
