CURRENT COMMENT
The Police Force.

On the face of it, it might seem to
be fairly good proposition that since
a definite drop in crime has followed in
the wake of the prohibition wave ma
terial reduction might be made in the
police forces of the various communl-
ties.
However appealing this may be, 1t
will be wise to 90 slow in the matter
The police department possesses other
functions aside from arresting intoxi.
Gated men. To our way OF thinking, II
there was nothing else TO do for the
night officers than TO form fire patrol
they would earn their salaries. The
greater number of night fires are dis
covered by patrolmen, and one eontia-
grafton would entail large enough
loss to pay the entire police depart
ment for good many years.
As for the day men in our own com
munity, if there happens to be any sur
plus, we might have couple OF traffic
men on Church street, especially dur
ing the afternoon.
The most important function OF a
police department is protecting life and
property, and the necessity of that pro-
lection has decreased not one iota as a
result of prohibition. - Burlington

The calls for account books continue
to come in, both for the farm account

The demand for the latter is much
greater than was anticipated and the

books on hand TO supply the demand

self respecting, person desires to enter
some of the layatories which are to be
found in some of the smaller hotels;
so the general public, when once
warned, avoids the hotels of such I'M
sanitary conditions as they would avoid
the worst conditions in life. An UNI
sanitary lavatory is the chief repellent
factor in some Of the small hotels; bad
food and generally unkempt surround
ings in other parts Of the house are
nothing as compared with that. So we
say that the reform in the few hotels
in Vermont which need reforming
should start in the lavatory. We are
pleased to state that this condition
does not apply to any considerable per
centage of the hotels of Vermont, but,
applicable as it is to only a few, 1t
nevertheless has powerful influence in
shaping up the reputation of the hotels

THE SOUTH MAIN STREET BRIDGE

THE SOUTH MAIN STREET BRIDGE
A city meeting win be held at the
Barre opera house Wednesday evening,
Feb. 4, for the purpose Of voting on a
nroposal to issue additional bonds for
building bridge over Jail branch on
South Main street. A few years ago
the citizens authorized an issue OF Sl4,-
500 for the purpose of constructing the
bridge, but it was found that the
amount was inadequate and, IN addi-
ton, the time did not seem favorable
for carrying out the work even had
there been sufficient amount avail
able. 1t is probable that the present
time is no more favorable as regards
cost of material and labor but we have
come year nearer to the time when
some definite, well-laid-out plan must
be followed for making the south end
Of our principal street both safe and
reasonably good for traffic There is a
difference of opinion as to the stability
of the old wooden bridge of the covered
design which now spans the stream,
some expert opinion holding that its
strength is not sufficient to bear the
constantly increasing burden OF traffic,
while Others consider that the bridge is
capable of carrying such loads as we
are likely to have. BE that as il may,
it is certain that the present bridge Is
in constant need of repair, only last
summer a serious cave-in on the south
east abutment necessitating large
'sfilln and even then making it of only
temporary construction; that its board
ed sides constitute real menace to
traffic of all kinds, the road being the
main automobile highway between
Barre and White River Junction; and
that it is an eyesore in community
which is DESTROYS of combining attrac-
tiveness with permaneney Of eonstruc-
ton. A change must be made at no
very distant date, even though it should
not be imperative from all standpoints
at the present time. The change has
been delayed long time already. Can
we afford to delay any longer, waiting
until some dire necessity shall drive us
to the task? We realize that the ex-
penses of the municipality are very
heavy and that the taxpayers are be-
ing put to severe burdens; but bridge
of proper construction will be calculat-
ed TO stand the test of time and traffic
for a great many years beyond the ex-
piration of whatever bonds might be
issued to pay for the construction, so
that bonding to pay the cost would
not be an unreasonable proposition.
Taking these various matters into con
sideration, it seems to US that 1t would
be wise move to vote the additional
bonds needed to carry out the work
this year. The taxpayers are urged to
consider the situation seriously and
make known their desires in the matter

misrepresentation Government.

Election was designed as a substi-
tute for revolution. Once every four
years in this country we have what rs,
theoretically, revolution: we decide
whether to overthrow one ruler and set
up another in his place by peace
able means--if we except some OF the
language which is exchanged
When, therefore, the legally elected
representatives of an unpopular politi-
cal minority are denied the right to ex-
ercise their legislative functions, il
suggests the alternative of protest by
violence. Deny the party of protest the
use of the vote and you invite the
use of the gun.
Ii is this situation, created by the ex.
pulsion of the five New York Socialist
assemblymen, which called together in
Albany the New York state convention
for the restoration of representative
government and civil liberties.
Seven hundred people met for this
act of protest. They We're rainbow

This body denounced the action OF
the New York Assembly, the anti-sedi.
ton laws presented to Congress, and
government by injunction"
Such an outburst of our traditional
American spirit of civil liberty signi-
fies no especial tenderness for Social
ism as such. The body contained few
Socialists. 1t was rather an expression
of the political common sense which
still, fortunately, exists amongst our
people. They recognized the action of

Southern winter resorts are bidding
against each other for the privilege of
entertaining President Wilson during a
part of the period Of his convalescence.
There seems TO be little doubt that If
the patient were able to stand the
strain Of the journey he would get
some help from the change of climate
and of surroundings. There would be
one Objectionable feature, however, TO
such change because Of the large
number of curiosity seekers who would
dock to the winter resort selected by
the presidents advisers in order TO get
glimpse of the patient. To most pa
tents nothing is more wearisome than
being stared at and ogled by persons
with whom there is no bond of family
Ties or of close friendship. Perhaps
hat Objectionable feature would be so
strong as to make the change undesir-
able.
