An Unjustified Attack
Est. Adams Messenger)


at is ridiculous to say that the
running of liquor from Canada into
this country cannot be stopped. If
the officers are really honest in their
efforts there can be no excuse for any
quantity of liquor coming over the
line. 1t all depends upon how vigor-
Gus the officers are. They can stop
the gam. if they really set out 20 do
it. Burlington Clipper.
The Messenger cannot help but feel
that this is an absolutely unwarrant-
ed indictment of a body of men who
instead of being pounded, are entitled
to praise for what they have accom-
plished with the limited means al
their command. Up here in ST. AL
bans where we know personally the
men in the customs force, reflection
on their honesty and loyalty is resent
ed. The truth of the matter is, the
force is not large enough to make the
boundary line leak proof. These Eler
work night and day, in stormy wealth
er and fair, and at all times open tC
the bodily attacks of desperate SNUG
glers. And their pay is not common
surate either with the work or the
risk they run. If the government al
Washington really wants this liquor
running stopped, let it put on an ade-
duate force of men to patrol the Dor
der, and until it does this let individ
uals and newspapers refrain from
jumping at conclusions which are I'M
| justified and absolutely unfair to mer
who are well considered in their owl
community.

Vermont Comment by Canadian
Paper.
(Stanstead JournaD


We notice many Orleans County
Republican voters voted for George
F. Root of Newport, Democratic can
didate for lieutenant governor. 1t IS
compliment to the man, when his
townsmen are glad to discount party
lines in appreciation of his character
as a citizen. Party lines are matter
of imagination, while there are no
lines bounding neighborliness and
friendship.
The normal school problem begins
to boil, and some of the fat is al
ready in the fire. The inference from
the present outlook is, that it is gen
orally thought that the graduates
from the big central school will get
the leading positions, and the prod
uct of the high school and academy
training teacher classes and the small
normal schools will have the minor
work. We are inclined to think that
the superintendent of education would
or should be a man who would select
teachers on their individual merit,
disregarding where they were train
ed: in other words keep the schools
out of politics.
The Barre Daily Times says that
the $3S, 900 paid by James Hardness
for the nomination for governor does
MT seem so much out of place, when
it is compared with the $3,500,000
used by the Republicans for the cleo
ton of Harding and Coolidge. The
per capita cost for the Hardness NOM
nation was practically $1.65. Apply
ing this same mathematical rule TO
the Harding and Coolidge camaign,
the per capita cost is 8 II cents, or to
place it in a more understandable
light, if the Harding and Coolidge
managers had paid the same price per
capita that Hardness did, vix., $1.65,
the total cost of the Republican CAM
paign would have totalled about SAL
250,000 We fail to see any reason
for the expenditure in either case, or
that the comparison is proper
source of excuse or apology.

Vermont Diaries Report.

In the Vermont creamery and mar
ket- news letter for November, just
released through the state depart
ment of agriculture, the 1919 figures
on daIrylng in the state are given.
The letter says in part:
During 1919 the creameries in
Vermont manufactured 11,S15,7 I'll
pounds of butter with an average
overrun of 21.88 per cent. The pro-
duction in 1918 was 11,0S7, l0S pounds.
or an increase of 728y603 pounds IN
1918. The increase In overrun from
1916 to 1919 was 3.8S per cent? The
increase figured on the number OF
pounds of butter manufactured
amounts to approximately $225.OO0.
During the wear 1919 the total
amount of whole milk shipped to the
various markets by the dairy plants
in the state amounted to 222,754 ,27S
pounds The milk receipts at Bos-
ton during 1919 from all Vermont
points amounted to 1859, o19
pounds, showing the approximately
81 per cent of the milk shipped from
Vermont entered the Boston market.
During the same period 63,55O,299
pounds or 2S.5 per cent of the total
shipments entered the New York City
market from Vermont points. The
remainder, or approximately 20 per
cent, was shipped to other New Eng
land cities.
1.-The total value of all dairy prod
ucts sold from factories and shipping
stations amounts to S22,475,O75.23.
The total number pounds of 81 per
cent milk used in all products handled
amounts to 7S6, SOC, 160, returning an
average price of $2.8574 per hundred
to the farmers.
"The total milk produced in 1919
based on average annual production
of 1000 pounds of milk per cow,
amounts to 931 81, 900 pounds. The
total value of milk used in Vermont
on farms as human food, for feeding
stock, sold locally and to dealers,
amounts to 81, 149, 111.OO.
''The grand total of Vermont's dali
ry industry for the year 1919 amounts
to approximately SIG, 1925 ,1S6.
''The above summary as compared
with statistics for 1918, shows an in
crease of Ill per cent IN milk ship
ped, "a per cent increase in milk made
into cheese and a corresponding de-
crease of 1.94 per cent in sweet milk
fat sold and 2.72 per cent in milk
made into butter.
The four leading counties in hand
ling the various dairy products were
as follows:
Butter: Caledonia, Orleans, Wash
ington, and Orange.
Milk Shipped: Addison, Rutland,
Franklin, Caledonia, Washington and
Orange.
Milk Condensed: Chittenden, Frank
lin, Orleans and Orange.
Milk made into cheese: Addison,
Rutland, Orleans and Chittenden.

In the immediate pardoning of Elk
of five years in states prison for lar
ceny of state funds, Governor Gle
ment seems to be gaining consider
able adverse comment. The question
of the right thing is this, as in many
cases of punishment, is one which Is
very difficult to decide, and when de-
cided is always open to comment and
criticism. Few men in Vermont pub
lie life have been so Inundated as
has Mr.. Graham, and to have served
a term in prison could hardly have
punished him more, or have safe
guarded the public better. The only
question arising from Governor Gle
ment's action, as far as this paper
sees it, is the influence the pardon Will
have upon the public with reference to
the belief that men in high position
do not suffer the penalty of crime
equally with the man of lower es-
tate. To some extent this belief is
justified, and the case under discus
sion only strengthens the bellef.
Nevertheless this paper ventures the
belief that the rank and file of Yer
mont people are satisfied that Mr..
Graham be not compelled to enter up
on a term of Imprisonment. Horace
Graham is an able man, was an ex-
cellent auditor, capable executive,
and has rendered the state great ser
vice. He was the victim of circum-
stances rather than a willful and pre-
meditated criminal The stain upon
the state and upon Mr.. Graham has
been black enough. The case has
been permanently disposed of by
courts and by executive action. Now
let us cast the incident from our
minds. No good can come from its
further discussion.

The Barre Times comments upon the
fact that st, Johnsbury, with popu-
lation much less than that of Barre,
had check list much larger than that
of Barre. An election feature which
is quite noticeable is the fact that
Newport with a population 33 per
cent larger than that of the town of
Barton has check list only just over
that in the town of Barton, while Bar
ton cast more votes for representative
and for governor than did the new
city of Newport. The Barre contem-
porary says that city needs to get a
good deal more enthusiasm into its
citizenship, which admonition might
be good advice for Newport. In cleo
tons at least, Barton remains the big
place in Orleans county, chiefly
through the neglect and apathy of the
people of Newport

Party Margin in Congress.

The Republican majority i'm the
United States Senate is going to be
so large that the detection of Sena-
tors like LaFollette (Wis.,) and Sem
ator-elect Ladd IN. d. is not going
to cause any worry at all. DR.. Laid
elected as a Republican, had the back
ing of the Non-Partisan League, and
Is not counted upon as a thorough
Republican.
Richard j. Ernst, Republican, has
beaten Senator Beckham for one of
the Kentucky seats in the Senate.
The election of Ernst puts the
Senate in the next Congress at So
Republicans and 38 Democrats. In
some of the States the races are so
close that final official figures will be
delayed some time, but it now appears
certain that no single Republican can
didate for reelection to the Senate
lost, while nine States which have
had Democrats in the Senate followed
through their majorities for Hard
ing by electing Republican Senator's
The size of the majorities in the
Senate and House is so great as ac-
tually to make it unimportant if a
Few are lost on ,recounts or otherwise.
The size of the majority in the
house Is almost so great as to be I'M
wieldy. 1t makes little actual differ
ence whether there is a Republican
majority of 16 or Is or 20 in the SEN
ate. The business of the incoming
Republican Administration can be
handled equally well with any of these
majorities. The last named figure,
almost beyond question, will be the
final result, though.
So far as the House is concerned
since the overturning of the Demo
cratic majority there two years ago
there has been a comfortable working
majority of Republicans, varying be-
tween 35 and 40, as vacancies and
enforced absences of members oc-

Sentiment and Guilt.
New York WORLDLY

The governor of Vermont in par
doning a predecessor in that office
who was convicted of embezzling pub
lie funds while serving as state audi
tor, explains that he performs this
act of clemency son account of the
great and valuable service which you
have rendered to Vermont and the
suffering you have endured by reason
Of your indictment and trial"
These, of course are the best of SEN
timental reasons for granting par
don. They are, moreover, interesting
as illustrating the difference in the
point of view of the executive author
ity charged with the pardoning pow
er and that of the judicial authority
whose function it is to dispense exact
Justice. When final sentence was
pronounced on the defendant in the
Supreme court, the Judge said that
the case. having reached that court,
'swas stripped of all sentiment" and
it remained only for the court to de-
eide on the points of the law. Yet
it is by the reinjection of sentiment
into the case that the governor now
in effect overrules the decision of the
court and sets the convicted man
free.
No doubt justice and sentiment will
always De at variance IN punlShlng
guilt. The difficulty is to avoid in
consistency in advancing motives of
mercy to the prejudice of equality
under the law. Humber culprits who
in the nature of things cannot per-
form distinguished services lack the
benefit of executive clemency; yet the
sutferings they endure by reason of
! indictment and trial may be just as
intense. Men who are good fathers
/ and model citizens except for their
lapse from honesty are equally sensi-
tive to the publicity of conviction.
Yet they go to Jail.
Where is the line to be drawn and
what IS the degree of public service
or of civic benefit to the community
which should serve as the basis fol
pardon? 1t is puzzling problem OF
justice which is not cleared IN bv the
governor of Vermont in this partieu
lar exercise of clemency-

The attack of the Burlington Clip
per on the customs officials because
they have not stopped all the liquor
coming into this country from Canada
IS characteristic of that paper. A
force at least three times as large as
that now stationed on the border
would be required to cope with the
situation, and this paper is not sure
that force this size would do it. Per-
has a force six times as large would
make the border tight. We are as
sured by Prohibition Enforcement
Commissioner Cramer that the situa-
ton will become tighter and tighter
and the consensus of opinion is that
prohibition will become more and
more closely effective as time goes on
It is hardly expected that so great a
change in the law can be made entire
~ effective in q few short months. II

The Question of Ireland
(Randolph Herald and News)

The death of MacSwiney and other
hunger strikers, of their own volition,
will doubtless serve the purpose
sought-that of centering the worlds
attention on Ireland's claims for in
dependence and indicate the will of
the Irish TO carry on to the end. 1t
will also establish them as martyrs, in
a restricted sense. Whether they are
justified and deserve to be enshrined,
or whether they are mere fanatics
and got only what they invited and
deserved will depend upon ones view
point of the whole issue involved.
The question of Ireland seems to be
unsolvable Without doubt, the situa-
ton as it exists is intolerable. Eng
land holds Ireland in subsection by
force of arms and the harshest of
measures. The Irish rebels of course
provoke this by their constant chal-
lenge and conflict with British au-
thority. 1t is the inevitable struggle.
Ireland always has and always will
contest British control. For genera
tions it has been the heel upon the
neck there
But the issue of it all is not so
clear. If Ireland were an entity she
might reasonably entertain hopes of
complete independence. But Ireland
is a duality. North Ireland, Scotch
Irish, Protestant, pro-British; South
Ireland, Celtic, Catholic and anti
British. South Ireland the larger and
more populous, North Ireland the
more prosperous and progressive.
Even a division of Ireland won't set
tie it, for the line of demarcation is
not clear, and radical and religious
strife would continue. And Socth
Ireland wants an Irish republic with
the whole island included-and being
in the majority they would control it,
while North Ireland bears a fanatical
hatred for the Republicans and wants
England's support of herself and re-
preston of the other faction.
England herself is very much in
the attitude of the man who had the
bear by the tail and didn't dare to let
go. For many reasons she would be
glad to wash her hands of the whole
Irish mess. Ireland has always made
her more trouble than rofit. 1t is no
source of strength to kingdom or en-
pire. But England doesn't like aban-
doning her co-religionists and age
long adherents in North Ireland to
what NAV be the ravages of intense
civil strife. And. further, she will
not weaken herself in a military way
/ by consenting to a situation that
might mean a hostile army or navy,
or at least an actively hostile senti-
ment at her back door. She recalls
that several times during her history
while she has been at death-grips
with some powerful continental enc
nv by her foes in Ireland and nothing
but force has saved her from attack
! in the rear.

Savings Stamps Sales in New Eng
land.

land.
Every pupil Happy Jack is
the slogan adopted by the teachers
of the Fairlee intermediate School in
Failee, VT, who have made a fine
showing in the sale of Thrift and
War Savings Stamps.
Miss Evelyn X. Lufkin, who teach
es the third, fourth and fifth grades
has nineteen pupils who own a total
of $277.25 worth of the stamps, an
average of $14.60 for each pupil. The
children are proud of the Honor Ger
tificate representing 100 per cent. OF
membership in the classes listed as
stamp purchasers. In the primary
room of the same building, where
Miss Lufkin's sister, Miss Isabella L.
Lufkin, teaches grades one and two
the eighteen pupils each own stamps
and this group also possesses an
Honor Certificate. The primary
room pupils hold SCOTS worth or an
average of 1888 in stamps.
The Misses Lufkin are promoting
the sale of War Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps among their pupils
and are encouraging the children to
save Systematically in every way pos
sible. They have found the "Happy
Jack" club idea exceedingly useful
in this work.
Figures just complied by the Saw

Little comment is needed upon the
election. 1t speaks for itself. The
county turned down everything that
was Democratic and voted in every
thing that was Republican. 1t was
sick and tired of Wilson domination.
It believed there was better things in
a change of policy and change of Off
Gals But there is danger in the
overwhelming victory of the Republi-
cans. Danger that the power may be
taken for license which will force
radical or reactionary measures upon
the country.
