have fainty, dizzy spells so bad that
I would almost fall over in my tracks.

NIGHT AGENT pEcAMPs.


Robert Murray, seventeen years old,
employed as night ticket agent at the
passenger depot, decamped on Satur-
day evening, taking with him ticket
to Chicago and nearly 5000 in money
belonging to the railway company.
He left here on passenger train No.
20 at 7:05 p. M, and was apprehend-
ed at Carroll by company detective
when the train reached that city. The
money was recovered. The young
man was brought to this city, Sunday,
and was taken to Logan this morn
ing by Sheriff Milliman.

usual good quality Of its experts,

Establishing a Precedent.
(Hartford Courantl

The Brattleboro Reformer tells its
readers that woman resident of that
town who took the electors oath last
week kissed the town clerk who admin
istered it. A man would not do that.
But it may establish precedent, sew
eral of them, which may be worth
watching inasmuch as considerable
number of women voters will appear
before the town clerks of this state
within the next few weeks and these
officials viii watch developments
closely we may assume. Town clerks
differ in glory, as it were, as while the
town clerk of Hartford is vet young
man the clerks in some towns are well
past 20 and inclined to boards.
Then, too, there are assistant town
clerks who, we suppose, may admins
ter the elector IS oath and many of
these officials are young women. If
now and then a male voter who has re
Gently attained the age of 81 years and
is willing to admit it, is put under oath
by one of these officials, must he fol
low the precdent7 Finally what will
be the effect upon the Office of town
clerk2 There are two possibilities, one
being that the older women voters will
see to it that the officials are of their
sex; the other being that q wild and
undignifed scramble will be observed
upon the part of the men for this of
fee. We fear that the woman in Brat
tleboro has, as it were, started some-
thing.

of the present-day English poets, and
who is well known to Americans by rea-
son of his long residence on this side of
the Atlantic and his frequent appear

shire, England, and received his educa-

still attending college he began contribute

volumes of verse have come from his

The death of Alexander Dunnett of
st. Johnsbury removes a lifelong Yer
monter who has brought distinction to
his state and honor to the profession
of law. All his public activities have
been in the state or in representing the
state in the national councils of his po-
litical party His support once pledged
to a political aspirant was effectively
extended to the last regardless of the
promise of success, as shown by his
support of the late Congressman circuit
in his unsuccessful fight for the United
States senatorship with the present
Senator Dillingham; and more recently
in his firm adherence to Colonel Wood
in the Republican national convention.
Alexander Dunnett was a true sport
and met obstacles with patience and
courage that won admiration His
Judgment of men was always independ-
emily formed and accepted with com
plete confidence. He liked men and in
return they liked him and enjoyed his
delightful .companionship. Many a
successful man of today is indebted to
him for an encouragement and SYM
pathy that impelled them to greater
and better accomplishment. He is
gone, but his love for and faith in
Vermont and Vermonters remain to in
luence and comfort. his hosts of friends
i'm all circles into which he entered

ENFORCING PROHIBITION.

Much comment is being made in the
press and on the political platform
concerning the enforcement of prohi-
bitiou in this country. Violation OF
the law seems quite common, govern
ment officials acknowledge a shortage
of enforcement agents, wet advocates
charge that more liquor is being con-
sumed now than during the licensed
sale of intoxicating liquors and many
are saying the law cannot be enforced
and it should be repealed.
1t cannot be maintained that the use
of liquor is stopped in this country,
probably it never win be entirely
stopped any more than murder or rob
berry are stopped by statute. But it
is not true that more liquor is being
sold and consumed in this country I'M
der the prohibition amendment than be-
fore. If it was true liquor users and
liquor sellers would not be SO dissatis-
fed with the present law.
Tt should be remembered by those
who advocate the amendment OF the
volstead act so to allow the sale of
stronger liquor that it is not easier to
enforce law prohibiting the use of
stronger liquors than it is to enforce
straight prohibition The victim of an
alcoholic appetite is not satisfied with
two or three per cent beverages and If
his appetite is kept active by the
lighter drinks he will evade the law TO
get stronger drink more quickly than
if restrained from the use of any al
coholie stimulant. The difficulty of en-
forcing prohibition is no excuse for au-
thorizing the sale of more liquor be-
cause the restraint of partially intox-
icated person is more difficult than re-
straining one without liquor.
