VERY LITTLE VIOLATION
OF LAW IN NEWBERRY

Go. Cooper has issued letters to
sheriffs and constables throughout
the State calling upon them to assist
in the enforcing of the prohibition
and all other laws. This is all right.
They should do that any way. We
can not but help recall some 18 years
ago when the then Gov. McSweeney
did the same thing. In fact it seems
to have somewhat been the custom
of governors to try to create public
sentiment for the enforcement of
law, and to call upon the law officers
to lend their aid in the creating this
sentiment, and it is proper that they
should. That is part of their duty,
but in the old days of liquor con-
stables too many of the other law Of
ficers somewhat thought that they
were relieved of any effort to en-
force the liquor laws as there were
special officers whose only duty was
to look after this particular law. So
it is entirely timely to remind these
officers that they are. to an extent
by virtue Of their office the custodi-
ans of the law and it's enforcement.
So far as Newberry county is con-
cerned there has been very little vio-
lation of the law, and very few homi-
cides during the past several years
During the past seven years there
have been only three homicide cases
entered on the sheriff's books, one
April 21, 1918, one March 2, 1919,
and one May 8, 1919. There have
been no lynchings or attempts at
lynching and no riots or mob violence
or any attempts at the same. There
is very little violation Of any other
laws. So far as the whiskey busi-
ness goes there are a few home made
stills possibly that are operated on
the stoves in the homes of a few
people, but very few of these. In
fact we might claim to be law
abiding people. Tie hope of all good
citizens is that such state of affairs
may continue.

The Net is Spreading.

Chief Rodelsperger has spread his

along It is no respector of persons

consequences, and the result is when
it comes before the recorder a min

Increase in State aid. S 4,587.79
There are 54 white schools in
Newberry county and 81 Of the 81
received State aid in one of the
above payments. This is due to the
fact that quite a number of districts
voted a special tax last year to meet
the requirement. laid down by the
legislature which are on enrolment,
attendance and a special tax of 2, 4,
or 8 mills at least. The three schools
which received no aid will, it is hop
ed, come in next year for their part.

vertised an election for 3 mills and

The plan of the Vermont Tuberculosis
association to establish health station
and assign an experienced nurse for it in
Barre should find the people of Barre in
receptive mood, for the purpose is to
aid in the elimination of tuberculosis not
only by acquainting people with the fact
that they have the disease but to assist
them in combating the disease by in
forming them of the ways of living
which will tend to restore health. The
services of the station will be available
for anybody and they should be taken
advantage of by a large number This
effort of the Vermont tuberculosis asso-
citation looks like a practical move in
the fight against tuberculosis and it will
undoubtedly be extended to other places
