Yesterdays Vote

The town of st. Johnsbury went
"wet" yesterday partly as practi-
cal joke and partly as sign of dis
approval of the Sheppard amend
mentor so local street talk had it
this morning, it being a foregone
conclusion that with federal prohi-
bition coming in July anyway there is
no chance of public sale of liquor
in this community.
If the sentiment of the country does
not sustain the prohibitory move
next summer, however, or if peace
should come before that time and the
war precaution be declared off, the
vote at yesterdays meeting, if only
a practical joke, may. act as an ugly
backfire and somebody go around
for a spell with a powder-blotched
countenance. A matter of this kind
with far-reaching possibilities, is an
inelegdnt thing to fool with. The
trouble will be in the present in
stance, that all the rest of the state
won't draw the right conclusions.
Only circumstantial evidence will
