USELESS STRUGGLING.

The announcements of the attorneys
of the liquor interests in various parts
of the country that the real fight
against the prohibition law has not
been commenced and their attempts TO
bring the constitutionality Of the pro-
hibition amendment before the SUI
preme court appear ridiculous after the
unanimous decision of the court on the
wartime prohibition act.
The fact is the people have passed
valid prohibition of the liquor traffic
and it should be rigidly enforced. The
liquor interests should observe the law
Just the same as the laboring man
should obey the injunctions of court
The struggle to turn large stores of IL
quor held on a speculative chance into
great profits is just as open defiance
of law as the Bolshevists of this coun.
try advocate and practice. Eacl
should receive the same condemnation
by all friends of law and order.
1t is an unquestioned right of tn,
vets 10 work for and advocate a repea
of the law and amendment by all legit
innate and honorable means, but the,
have no right TO defy the law. Thei
| struggles are useless and may hur'
their cause more than anything els
they attempt.

It's trite, "Shop early" but there's
sound sense behind it. Here we are past
the middle of December-and Christmas
only eight shopping days distant. Shop
now, and get the pick of the merchants
stocks. avoid the Jams of later days and
get the short" price that a last minute
demand may cause to rise. Deliveries
now are certainly better and surer than
when the rush comes And try early
morning shopping. Clerks then are not
tired. Goods have not been picked over. "
There's bound 10 be better understand
ing between buyer and agent for the sell
or. Optimism prevails on both sides.
Make your shopping a days adventure.
Get something besides bargains out of it.
And-have heart for the clerks. They
are real people, not automatons. They
have feelings and aims and ambitions and
the Lord knows-iamily troubles pos
sibly that make tears come to their eyes
while there may be smiles on their lips
And-they may have corns. Let's all be
cheerful, and early, and kind, in this
Christmas shopping.

ANY Vermont farmer who read the
legislative program proposed BY GER
tain farm organizations in Washington
doubtless was surprised to see such
ideas put ont in the name of the farm
ers of the country, because the state
ment does not represent his ideas. There
is little doubt that the majority Of
farmers in this country are opposed TO
government ownership of the railroads,
government control of the merchant
marine and the naturalization Of nat
.nral resources. The Bolshevists and
labor bosses may advocate such things
but the average farmer does not.
Who are these persons assuming to
lay down the law for the farmers and
consult with organized labor and ex-
listing cooperative agencies7 We are
not sure, but remember that several
months ago the author of the Kenyon
bill to regulate the packing industry
announced that he was going to organ
ize national farmers council, etc;
and we suspect it is this political hodge
podge that is attempting to speak.
They can lay little claim to repre-
senting real farm sentiment. This
Grange in which real farmers expires:
their sentiments has declared against
any co operation with the labor unions
to secure shorter hours and higher pay
and has never called for government
ownership of railroads or the abolish
ment of private property. 1t is SAT-
to say it is not iden tifed with any sucl
declarations as those recently published
1t may develop that these men are or
ganized and supported for the politica
advancement of Mr.. Kenyon.

Possibly the person with an empty
sugar bowl may derive q crumb of COM
fort from the assertion of prominent
Ohio physician who declares that the
present shortage Of sugar is of great
benefit rather than an injury TO the
public health. Aside from the unpleas-
antness of not being able TO get what
we want when we want it, we are told
to bear in mind the good we are deriving
from not being able to overload oui
system with an excess of sugar which
is so often harmful

Hospital Deficits.
barre Times.f

That there is grave need of rallying TO
he assistance OF the hospitals Of Yer
mont is shown by the statistics of the
year just past in some of those institu.
tions. The Mary Fletcher hospital in
Burlington, one of the richest in the
state, ended the year with n deficit of
nearly S25 900, while the hospital at
Brattleboro was between 5000 and 800
short at the close of the year. In the
case of the Mary Fletcher hospital the
recommendation is made that the number
of charity patients be reduced because OF
the inability OF the institution to meet
the increasing costs by the income OF its
endowment from Mary Fletcher. That
would be most unfortunate because the
charity patients must be attended to in
some way Friends of hospitals in Yer
mont must come TO the aid of the institu-
tions if the people are to receive the
treatment which they must have or die.

Use the Town Horses.
BARRE Times.}

In at least two instances recently we
have noted that complaint has been made
in Vermont municipalities that the muici-
pal officials were not utilizing the equip
ment at their disposal, but were going
out and hiring equipment of private
parties while their own rested idle. We
refer to horses. In the case of Brattle-
boro the village teams were not being
worked at all while the selectmen hired
two teams at the rate of SIS a day; and
at the same time the men who were en-
gagged to handle the municipal teams
were not employed. There may, of
course, be some reason why the municipal
horses were not used on municipal work
which would explain the action of the
officials; but reasonable business pru.
dence would seem to demand that munich
pal horses be used wherever possible
the conditions being right. As is well
sknow,n horses "eat their heads off, wher
