The Milk Question.

Mr.. II. w. Slocum in another column
makes suggestion for diminishing the
cost of milk by reducing the number OF
delivery teams, etc, and his plan seems
practical and feasible. 1t does not meet
the situation, however, because the dis
turbing element is not competition among
the producers, but competition by the
condensed milk people, who are bidding
up the price of milk steadily.
Thus Prof. Slocum's plan for reducing
the cost of delivery to city customers
does not meet the situation, for selling
to the condensed milk people, the farm
ers have no expense of delivery what
ever. Their customers take the milk
right at the barn, and pay as much for it
as city customers would pay, delivered
at their houses, at an expense which
must always be large, comparatively, no
matter how carefully cut down.
As matter of fact, we of the city are
with the condensed milk men,
and thus far we are getting the worse of
the competition.-Bu Burlington News.

A Sensational Vote.

The United States has given prohibit
ton not only two-thirds but, on the
face of the figures, more than a three
fourths vote. With the dissolution of
the pairs, its vote 65 to 20 would doubt
less stand 20 to rs. With such an over
whelming majority as this we look to
see the passage of the resolution in the
House by the necessary two-thirds vote
contrary to the general impression
whic has prevailed-and so its reference
to the states for their decision.
For the first time in the history of
such things the Senate has inserted a
time limit within which the states must
act This is exceedingly wise. Such a
proviso ought to be a part of the con-
stitution itself. We have been, hereto
fore, weak in the respect that an amend
ment once sent TO the states had all the
rest of time within which to secure rati-
fication. At least there was no provision
or precedent to the contrary, and those
persons who asserted that the courts
would hold only reasonable time"
available were relying manifestly on a
slender reed.
Six years offers fair chance for the
advocates of the change. The measure
will be privileged" in the parliamentary
law of every Legislature of the land. II
will get to a vote If its advocates fail
to carry it in the first legislature, they
can go before the people and try to elect
a second one, and if need be-in the
biennial elections area third. In these |
the project stands a good |
chance of passing. In Massachusetts,, for
example, would it not be likely that one
legislature elected within a six-year Pc
-lod, would contain a national prohi-
ion majority, at a time when the IA
rorable action Of other states would be
attracting attention to the question! We
hink so. We think the six New Eng

Praise of the sanitary conditions OF
the military camp at Fort Ethan Allen,
coming from General William G. Gorgas
of the United States army, is calculated
to satisfy the relatives and friends of the
soldiers gathered there that the health of
the enlisted men is being looked after
quite thoroughly. General Gorgas has
had great deal of experience with re-
spect to sanitary conditions, and he is in
a position to know whereof he speaks
Prior to his declaration, however, there
was quite convincing evidence of the fine
sanitary conditions at the camp because
so relatively few of the men were in the
hospital. There is general satisfaction
that the men of both the Vermont Ma
tional Guard and the regular army have
been placed under competent sanitary

reasonable nor beyond the jurisdiction OF
the state board, so that the original or
der now stands and is in full force. There
can be no legal holding OF Chautauquas
in Vermont until the order is altered by

The result is victory for the people
of Vermont, II is q triumph over a for

itself in the attitude of caring little for
the health and well-being of those com
munities in which they had contracted to
show SO long as they could garner in the
dollars brought to them in the main
through the activities of the very people
whose wel-being they seemingly held in
such slight esteem. The proposition
looked simple here in st, Adams. On
the one side was the foreign corporation
out after the dollars; on the other the
local association which had undertaken
the venture because 1t was considered
community benefit, but which decided, in
view of the infantie paralysis situa
tion, that the health of st. Adams and
Franklin county was paramount to all
other considerations. On one side dol
lars; on the other side public safety
The result of the courts decision will
be to strengthen public confidence in the
state board of health. The state board
had nothing to gain in issuing the order
other than the protection of the public,
for which it is appointed and given pow
ers. There was no motive for the issu-
ing of the order other than the one based
on performance of its duty to the peo-

The deposing of Gen. Brussiloff as the
head of the Russian military forces is
something about which the world outside
of Russia must speculate with little ba-
sis for an understanding of the real con-
ditions. Brussilof demonstrated his ca :
pacity as a military leader in 1916 when
he led a great offensive into Galicia; but
he was relict of the monarchial regime
and held his position under the new revo-
lutionary government merely under suf-
ferance, it seems. The army may be
considered democracized by reason of the
fact that former support of the mon
archy is supplanted by a man who rose
from peasant life-Gen. Korniloff.
