Making Prohibition Hard.
burlington Free Press

The Randolph Herald printed the fol
lowing editorial paragraph:
Vermont, for some reason, is taking
national prohibition harder than almost
any other section of the country. Else
where it is being accepted among the
things settled, and no grouching about
it."
In commenting on this utterance, which
would help to make the problem more
serious. the St. Adams Messenger said:
is Vermont taking national prohibi-
ton SO hard as the contemporary thinks
Is it not possible that The News is con
fusing the state with small politica
group which is seeking to agitate tho
subject in the hope of reaping governor
ship? What this group wants is to b.
taken seriously. If it doesn't succeed il
being so taken its hopes will be dashed
to the ground. The Messenger does MOI
believe that rum is the predominant
thought in the average Nermonter's brain
today"

A Rare Specimen.
Rutland News.)

While spading his garden yesterday
Rutland man dug up bone of a nearly
extinct "creature. An eminent pale
ontologist to whom it was submitted
stated that it was the principal part of
what was known as lamb chop. once
a common article of diet on every
body s table. A veteran butcher re
membered the time when such bones
with a small mouthful of juicy meat at
tached, sold as low as Is cents pound
Now the article, when procurable, com
mands about dollar bite. 1t is un
derstood that the chops are still served
at some of the state dinners given by
the extravagant Wilsonian administra-
ton at Washington.

DRUGGISTS AND LIQUOR.

Lucius f. Sayre, president of the Amer
lean Pharmaceutical association, asks
that the drug stores be relieved from the
stigmatism of being retailers of in
toxicatiig liquors He thinks congress
should make distinction and author
ize the druggists to distribute intoxi-
eating liquors for medicinal purposes
only upon a physician s prescription. As
we understand it, that is what the pres
cnt law does. although it compels the
druggist to take out retail liquor per-
mits. 1t would seem as though congress
might make the change requested by
President Savrc and relieve the drug
gist who attempts to supply the le-
gitimatc demand for liquors from the
Objectionable title of retail liquor
dealer
Another suggestion is made by Samuel
L. Hilton chairman of the house of del
cgates, who urges that druggists be re
lieved of all liquor distribution and that
the city health departments should b.
designated as the only places where in
toxicants ordered by prescriptions couiC
be obtained. In large city it woulc
be inconyenient for the people to go t,
one place for liquor and with the dis
trict health officer system of Vernon
it would be very Impractical.
President Sayre S proposition seem
| the more reasonable and many peopl
would welcome a change in the law tina
would enable reasonable number 0
druggists to dispense liquors on vail
physicians prescriptions.

Encouraging Facts.
Barre Tincs.)

The town of Barnet, which was re
ported in the census returns recently
is one of the smaller, towns of Vermont
largely depending upon agriculture al.
though being a railroad town and sit.
uated on the main line of a large rail
road system. Barnet might have been
expected to lose population largely in
the general exodus to the manufacture
ing eenters during the period of the
war; vet the town fell off only l.3 pei
cent in the population figures of 1920
To all intents and purposes Barnet held
its own This is a fact that is some
what encouraging to those who were
fearful about the population of Yer
mont in the recent census. OF course
it may be expected that country towns
which do not have the advantage oil
railroad location will fall off cons der
ably more than Barnett but the aggre
gate loss may be offset by the gain il
some of the Industrial centers.
