1.-THE fact that Secretary Thomas

ment To be big enough to make good

per cent wage increase. The prop
osition was accepted by the miners
and they expect the government to
carry It out, although DR.. Garfield
has repudiated It,"

reports reaching the department of
justice Indicate that the coal min.

were at work than at any time

places which need the impetus to be

WHO'S GOING TO ENFORCE PRO
HIBITION?

The announced intention of the fed
eral government to throw the enforce.
ment of constitutional prohibition on
the state and municipal authorities is a
statement of policy, which was expect
ed and which, on the whole, is reason
able. The state and the municipal au-
thorities heretofore have been carrying
a large measure of the responsibility
for the enforcement of such laws as
have been in effect, with the federal
government taking hand very rarely
and somewhat reluctantly, it would APP
pear; so there will be no marked change
| in the administration of affairs under
the new regime, that is, so far as the
machinery of administration is con-
cerned. The United States government
may be expected to keep in more or
less close touch with the enforcement
of prohibition in every state but its
position will be more along the line Of
reserve agency in case Of great neces-
sity. The state and the cities will be
expected TO bear the brunt of the work.
Here in Vermont the prosecuting at
torneys representing the state in the
Ia counties win undoubtedly cooperate
with the towns and city grand jurors in
bringing action to enforce the laws, Just
as they have done in the past under
both state prohibition and local option;
and it is possible that the attorney gen
eral of the state might take part in the
proceedings in unusual cases. Those
three agencies, therefore, will consti-
tute the operating force for enforce
ment in Vermont; but back of them
will have to be a spirit of law mainte
nance fully as strong as it has been in
the years past. The prosecuting Off
GERS win need public support in the
bringing of prosecutions and in the
presentation Of evidence, So, in the
last analysis, the people themselves are
the basis Of the machinery for opera
ton of the enforcement laws. The peo-
pie taken in their collective. whole are
to be the backbone of the prohibition
regime; they are to uphold the hands
of those who are legally constituted to
bring proceedings. Failure of that
backbone to operate will mean miser-
able laxity of conditions in any given
community. 1t is up to the people to
say whether there shall be conditions
in keeping with the meaning of the new
regime or whether they shall wallow
along out of step with'the spirit of the
times.

If the Vermont Horticultural society
should decide to have its annual con-

lose part OF its influence in the entire
state. 1t is well known fact that the
value of conventions is their ability to
touch and reach people in different sec
tions of given territory, and in case
the conventions are held in one place
they are likely to develop that one
place to the disadvantage of other
