CURRENT COMMENT
Visit Vermont.

For the next few weeks Vermont will
possess the best attractions of the sea
son for the tourist. The brilliant hues
of autumn will brighten its hills and val
leys, the atmosphere Of the shortening
days will soothe and comfort, the well
filled barns and granaries produce the
satisfaction OF plentitude, the fattened
herds and focks low a lullaby of content
ment, and the cracking fires and genu-
inc hospitality melt the chill of frosty
evenings. Then, too, the highways are
receiving the finishing touches of the
seasons improvement and are at their
best. No better preparation can be made

Although it is undeniable that consd-
cradle damage was done in London and
other English towns by the discharge of
bombs from Zeppelns during the great
raid of Sunday morning, it is equally
positive that Germany paid a high price
in the loss OF two OF her newest airships,
to say nothing of the casualties among
the crews of the ships. The British
methods of defense against this form of
invasion are constantly being improved;
and the Zeppelins are very vulnera bic
under well directed attacks. Hence the
situation is calculated to discourage ef-
forts to inhict damage on England albeit
the German anger at inability to harm
England by land or water attack may be
expected to break forth now and then
with these worrying raids from the air.
Germany is undoubtedly fretted some
times almost beyond endurance because
of impotency to strike England at home,
and these comparatively unimportant
visitations by Zeppelins are the blowing
off of the safety cocks of that impa-
thence. Germany has done her worst to
England in these air raids and England
remains relatively calm under the strain
and the stress OF the brief experience,

THE TIMES HAS COME.

We have remarked before that 1916 was to be an odd year for Aaskans; in that it national election year, territorial election year for delegate attorney general and part of legislators with the odd ity emphasized forcbly by the contest that is just ahead of in the attempt to make Alaska dry ter ritory. This part of the campaign promises to be hoty contested throughout the territory both the Liquor Dealer Association and the Prohibition party are well organized and in the: field.
 Facing the situation, it follows that every voter must declare himself. This declaration need not be public n the individual voters because voter can use the ballot It is otherwise with newspaper We believe that when a question is raised in which the public at large is involved, newspaper must take 2 stand It cannot stand on the fence It need not be abusive nor resort personalities; and clear cut expression is all that Is required We have great faith in newspaper without the courage of its victon and most of the people feel the way. The prohibition newspapers have all declared their stand; then why should the opposition to prohibition hesitate to do likewise? Bearing that in mind the gress has given the power levy and collect with which to manage affairs Whenever congress sees fit to give the power to tax big and little businesses revenue to saain schools streets and otker incidental expenses is far short of our need and without the license money it will be i'm possible to manage our affair This is stand How ever unlike the prohibition newspapers that tinuay png on abuses the opposition, shall refrain from further discussion of this subject unless attacked by dissenters We willingly grant the pro- hbitionists the right to their opinion and expect the same.

AUTHORIZED LAwLESsNEsS.
(Portland Telegram.)

From. Seattle comes story of iawlessness Sc astounding as ones credulity. Three brothers operating drug store as a blind pig and doing a large business in contrahand liquor had given the police great deal of trouble So by order of Mayor Gill the chief of police took action according t~ he press dispatches as follows:
 With axes horrowed from the fire department ve men who went through glass show cases, shelvn 7n6 soda fountain fixtures made Carrie Nation look lie piker.
 It was the final play of the police department in dealing with the three Bilngsley brothers and their favorite drug store which has been connected with bootlegging nearly every week since the first of the year.
 Here is a case where lawlessness by group of criminals was met by lawlessness at the hands of a group of peace officers who have taken oath to sup port the laws of the state of Washington The state fixes the punishment for those who violate the pro hibon laws. Destruction of store fixtures is not de fined as penalty, and when police authorities step outside the laws inct punishment they the role of anarchists Destruction of contraband liquor is national penalty which society approves Smash ing of plate glass is lawessness that society abhors Such acts committed by police officers under direction of the city government bring the administration of law into contempt No city substitute violence for law without iniuring itself
 Lenent people were inclined to forgive Carrie Nation whose zeal in the of tmperance threw her mind of equilibrium and led her into acts of violence. Has left the mind of Seattle's city government?

railroad bonds said to be valued. at
approximately $4,000. The bonds,
1T is understood, were bequeathed
him when he was IL years of age by
his grandfather with the provision
that they be held in trust under GER
tain restrictions. Mr.. Gilbert knew
of his holdings but attached no inn
portance to them,it seems,until re-
cent investigation gave him an ink
ling that they had become valuable.
Mr. Gilbert who is SO years old, a
resident of Meridian and employed
at Ham Badley's lunch room, is in
clined to be very reticent regarding
the matter until he has more definite
information as to the value of the
railroad stock.
