The itinerant peddler is a destroyer
of local business enterprises. He pays
no taxes, he pays no rent, hires no
help. buys no clothing or lumber or
hardware, or jewelry of the local mer-
chants. He employs no local attorney,
patronizes no local dentist, contrib
utes to no local church or fraternal
organization. Because of these things,
we impose a license fee upon him in
order to force him to help pay local
governmental expenses and also to
give the local business men the pro-
lection to which they are justly enti-
tied. For exactly the same reason we
impose customs duties upon foreign
ers who ship goods into this country.
We do not believe in a system of gov
eminent revenue which makes the
home business man pay all the taxes
and then permits the foreigner to sell
his cheap goods here free. We believe
in high import taxes for two reasons
to make the foreigner pay for the
privilege of doing business here, and
to protect the home business man.
This is not partisan politics-it is
plain business ense. The political
party which will noe support such a
policy is not merely lacking in politi-
cal sagacity-it is lacking in business
sense. We would not stand for a city
council that repealed the peddler's Ii
cense, nor will we stand for a national
administration that repeats the pre-
tectiye tariff duties.

ROBIN REDBREAST ARRIVES
Takes His Place among Other IIarhin-
gers of Spring.

Hopping gaily in among the other signs
of spring, such as the flooded streets and
cutters, and the small boys playing mar
bles and baseball. came the first Robin
Redbreast Of the season, who was seen
picking his way daintilY across the high
school lawn Monday morning, with Il
self-satisfed chirp as though he had just
caught and devourei nice fat worm
who was returning home after night at
the club. The robins are always among
the very foremost of the feathered heralds
of spring, and some of the harder ones
even spend the winter in Vermont If they
can find a pleasant barn which promises
an adequate food supply. The bluebirdS
usually arrive soon after the robbins and
although none have as yet been reported
in Burling ton, they are said to have ar
rived in the southern part of the state.
! The robins do not fly very far south dur
ing the winter, many staying in Central
/ Park in New York, while others spend
| the colder months in Delaware and New
Jersey, although occasionally they go as
far south as Virginia. While the robin
is not the first bird to arrive, he is US
ually the earliest one with sefassertive
note and is always regarded as a har-
binger of spring.

NARCOTIC Law EXPLAIN D
Federal Representative Lectures
Local Physicians and Druggists.
Good Faith md Judgment Must lie
Used in Granting and Filling Pre-
northumberland to Fol
low Willful Violations.

John J. Donovan of Boston, repre-
senting the federal government, en-
planned the rulings of the anti-narcotic
law to the physicians and druggists of
the city at the medical building Monday
evening. answering questions In regard
TO the law and enumerating many of
the unintentional violations of the
law, due to imperfect knowledge of it.
One Of the most frequent violations
is the too frequent writing of prescrip-
tons for the same person. This is not
I'm good faith, experiments showing that
three grams of morphine n day will
impregnate the body so that no more
is needed. Therefore, If more is pre-
scribed, it Is not done in good faith.
If, however, i'm the physicians opinion,
more is needed, and he acts in good
faith, the government will take his
word for 1t. The government does not
intend to dictate what the physician
can or shall do. The relation of the
physician and patient should be estab-
fshed, and the case diagnosed, then
proper Judgment should be used.
Physicians must keep track Of the
amount of narcotic used registering
the name of the patient and what the
narcotic is used for. They must also
keep track of what they direct nurses
20 give whether in a hospital or not
even In addition to the hospital record
of the same. Nurses cannot keep mar
cotics except under the direction of a
physician. Prescriptions compounded
cannot be refilled.
The druggists also must be in good
faith and use good judgment in filling
prescriptions. They should never take
prescriptions over the telephone. but
should have the doctors written order,
upon which his name must be signed,
not stamped or typewritten Mr.. Dono-
van advised the physicians to write
their registration number and name on
each prescription as they filled it out.
so that if their blanks were stolen. no
one could make use of them. The doc
tors must write the patients name and
street and city address on the pre-
scription If the druggist swears to
an affidavit that narcotics were stolen,
so that his supply on hand is short
the government will not prosecute.
If it appears that the doctor is not
acting in good faith and is trying to
evade the law. he is liable to prosecu
ton If it appears that the druggist
has reason to suspect the physician
but continues to fill his prescriptions
the druggist is also liable. Licenses
orders and registrations may be taken
away for an indefinite period.
Mr.. Donovan, in summing up. said
that if it appeared that the doctor OF
druggist was acting in good faith anf
using good Judgment he would not be
liable. He stated that this was tom
of explanation, but the next time he
came to the city. prosecutions would
follow any willful violations

BRADSTREET'S VERMONT
WEEKLY TRADE REPORT

Bradstreet's Burlington office reports
FOR the week just closed show that the
demand upon wooden mills has reached
point among some the highest in their
history Skilled labor and labor for these
plants is reported scarce. Heavy demand
for hosiery and knit goods is also re-
ported. Manufacturers of garments find
that the increase in prices has stimulated
buying rather than retarded it. Labor
is in demand among this class of workers
but material is coming in slowly. The
cOngeSted traffic on out-Of-State railroads
has given the railroads of this State II
large increase in freight. Complaint is
general among various lines of manu-
facture regarding delay in receiving
freight from out of the State points. This,
together with an apparent shortage of
material has seriously handicapped var
ious plants.
With labor as we'll employed as it is in
the larger manufacturing points, it would
be expected that retail trade would show
its effects, but the volume of business
done at retail stores has not responded
as quickly. This is accounted for in part
by reason of a late season. The opening
of the spring season according to calen-
dar found winter weather and conditions
1t is confidently expected that the spring
trade in goods for the season will be
large once it is started as it is believed
the buying public Is in a position to take
advantage ~ what is offered. Reports
from nearly all of the rural sections in
dicate a light retail trade and some OF
the larger places, whore manufacturing
IS not such as to take so-called war con-
tracts, report similar conditions. Manu-,
facturcrs of articles made from gray
goods report an exceptionally heavy de-
mand.
Several good runs of maple sap were
reported for the Weekend, but so fa
what has been done is too small to re-
