Enforce the Law ImpartiaIly.

The now famous Bennington raid con
tinues to occupy attention owing to the
unusual developments constantly crop
ping out. The latest of these is dis
cussed by the Brattleboro Reformer as
follows
"of course this plan Of fning the chefs
of the Bennington clubs may save the
state the cost Of contesting but when you
get right down to it what is there TO
contest Z"
That is a very pertinent question. The
proposition is merely dodge TO shield
those higher up" The project recalls
the old days Of "hne takers" the sys-
tenn by which an old offender continued
to sell Intoxicating liquor illegally by
avoiding the penalty Of anything beyond
First offenses' by hiring new bartender
who stood ready TO plead guilty and thus
save the real offender from imprison-
ment.

Vermont have come to demand, II is i'm

government itself is seriously undeter.

tendency on the part OF the prosecuting
officers, courts and others in authority
to mete out one sort Of justice to the
rich or powerful and an entirely different
sort of justice to the poor or the weak.

our demoractie institutions or with our
theories of entire equality to punish the
helpless individual and let his infuen.
tial neighbor violate the same law with
absolute impunity and entire immunity
as regards penalty,
As the Reformer so pertinently init
mates, there is absolutely nothing to
contest in the case of the Bennington
clubs. The chefs were in effect serving
RS hartenders. To accept plea Of
guilty from them and fine them while
the real offenders went scot free would
be a trayesty on justice and a re-
proach to the good name of Vermont
Were a state official in the person Of the
attorney general Of Vermont, to connive
in any such proceeding in the enforce

would indicate low moral tone among
