The License yote in Vermont
BARRE Times.

We are unable to see in the largely
increased number Of Eyes" towns in
Vermont as the result of March
meeting any expression of disapprov-
al of the national prohibition amend
lment, as some of the advocates of Ii
censed liquor selling profess to see.
For nearly score of years the cities
and towns of Vermont have been vot-
ling on the local option issue whether
licenses should be granted In each
town for legalizing the sale of liquor.
In the first year of such a vote more
than third of the towns voted yes
Liquor shall be sold legally. There
after came a sudden drop in the num-
Der of such townS;~~and year after
year since then there was maintained
about the usual number of towns
which favored licensing the sale of
liquor. 1t was so right up to a. year
ago when the prospect came that ma
tional constitutional prohibition
would come into effect before the end
of the license year and wartime pro-
hibition would be in force even before
then. Believing that the prospect of
wartime prohibition would mean few
saloons in Vermont even though the
towns should vote in favor OF license,
1 the advocates of no-license let down
their vigilance and the number of
Eyes" towns promptly jumped to al
/ ing the preceding decade Again this
year, with national prohibition al
ready in force and licensed liquor
selling practically out of the ques-
ton, the voters of the "no" issue let
down still more and refused IN large
proportion to vote on the issue at all,
while the advocates of licensed LIQUOR
selling decided to put in their protest
against national prohibition, although
they believed it would be of no avail.
and cast their votes with undiminisho
ed ranks, sometimes with increased
numbers. So there you have the sit
uatlon-one side satisfied with the in
coming Of national prohibition and
willing TO let IL go at that without
I further electoral effort on their part
and the other side dissatisfied and.
with the usual persistence of the dis
satisfied side deciding to voice that
feeling of disapproval The result
was that the number of nominal IL
cense towns was very largely in
creased. s(E 5EI I5d51z
In such ease we fail to note real
protest against national prohibition
! on the part of Vermont as a whole
but rather display of pure, unadul-
terated laziness on the part of a con-
siderable percentage of the voters.
That analysis of the case may, of
lcourse, be wrong; but study of the
small size of the vote cast on the issue
IN most of the towns on Tuesday leads
Us to believe the interpretation of the
Situation to be fairly accurate. We
believe, moreover, that were the PAT
cities and towns of the state to vote
again on the Issue, with the firm con-
viction that their vote would decide
the course of action of liquor selling
/ for year, there would be a return to
about the number of towns which
voted year after year in favor of IL
licensing the sale of liquor

Vermont Livestock Worth s47.7os. 600.

The February number of the Month
ly Crop Reporter, published by the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington, which has just come out, shows
that on January /, 1920, Vermont had
$4,000 horses valued at $11, $685., 900,
which is a steady increase from the
year 1917, and there are 27S, 900
mich cows in the state with value
OF 24,742 600, making Vermont rank
9th IN the number of these cows.
This number, however, is far in excess
of any other state il. the New England
states. There has been slight de-
crease in the past three or four years
In dairy cows, but the total value of
those In the state at the present time
is higher than in any previous year.
Of other cattle, Vermont has 10000
outranking any other state in New
England again. These are valued at
81 ,G6S, Goo There are los 900 sheep
in Vermont valued at $1,20S 900.
While this is slight decrease from
1919, it is considerable increase from
1917, when there were only 100, 600 in
the state. Only one New England
state exceeds this number and that is
Maine. In swine, there are 10000 in
the state and they are valued at ST.
100000. This number is the same as
last year, but larger than 1917 and
1918. One New England state, Mass
achusetts, exceeds this number. The
total value of all livestock in the state
according to this report, is SAT, 703,-

PRESSCLIPPINGS
Clement Defeats Vermont Progress
(Brattleboro Phoenix

Governor P. W. Clement again
shows himself out of harmony with
the Republican party of Vermont, the
marty that elected him to office, IN re-
fusing to call a special session OF the
IocrislatI1re to act upon the proposed
federal constitutional amendment
granting women the right to vote. Not
only is he out of touch with Vermont
ers but he endangers the national
party as well.
Thirtv-three states have ratified
the amendment and only three more
notifications are necessary to put the
amendment in force Thus far no
Republican legislature has failed to
ratify the amendment, but several
Democratic states have. Therefore,
it becomes something of party ques-
ton and the Republicans are anxious
to secure ratification by three more
Republican states to show to the wom-
en- it is ready to do them justice. The
states which might ratify in time to
allow women to vote in the coming
presidential election are Delaware,
Florida, Washington and Connectl-
cut. Vermont might, if the governor
would call a special session. The
governor of Connecticut like the gov
oGnOI Oh NSIulOllI iSc OPPOoOO W NSsAA
ing the legislature in special session.
Florida quite likely would refuse to
ratify, so action by Vermont is abso-
lutely necessary to put the amend
ment in force in time for the women
to vote this year.
Governor Clement in refusing &c
call a special session made the follow
ing specious excuses: The people have
had no opportunity to express them
selves on the question and the adop-
ton of this federal amendment would
bring about a condition contrary &c
of the papers of the state that have
the Vermont state constitution. None
commented on his reasons accept
them as sound. There is no provision
whatever for referring an amend
ment to the federal constitution to the
people of any state but ratification by
the legislatures of three-fourthS OF
the states is expressly required
Therefore calling the Vermont legis-
lature in session to act on 3 federal
amendment does not violate in any
way the state constitution. Should
( the legislatures of threefourths of the
states ratify this federal suffrage
/ amendment the women of Vermont
would have the right to vote becaust
the federal constitution prevails ovel
any state constitution. Because thi
is true and the governor is opposed
to equal suffrage he acts IN defianc,
of the wishes OF his party and of
aiority OF the people of Vermont.

BLODGETT A CANDIDATE
Authorizes Statement That He Will
Seek County Senatcrship.
From The Newport News

i rom Inc newport News
In recent issue of the News ap-
peared an editorial commenting on the
north end senatorship situation. This
article stated that it had been the Gus
tom in past years to have this honor
go to the towns along the northern
border alternately. In 1915 the town
OF Derby sent NJ A. Adams, in 1918
Troy presented H II. Lewis and this
year quite naturally Newport lays
claim to the right to send a man.
AT the time the article appeared,
the only name that had been mention
ed was w. w. Blodgett and since the
article appeared Mr. BIodgett has
received many words of commentator
from his friends in Newport as we'll
as nearby towns In an interview
with Mr.. Blodgett on the matter he
gives The News authority to state
that he has decided to be a candidate
for Senator and will have something
further to say on the matter in the
near future.

RECORDS PROMISED IN 1920
Millions TO Be Spent In improving
Public Highways and Transporta-
tIon Facilities.

The year 1920 promises 10 develop a
revolution I'm Americas two great
problems-highways and transporta-
ton.
All over the country great interest
is being manifested In better roads
and improved transportation facili-
ties.
The coming OF the pneumatic-tired
motortruck has given an impetus TO
the movement for a national highway
system that Is sweeping everything
before H.
State after state has passed, with
out noticeable opposition, appropria-
tons for millions Of dollars to build
and improve main market and inter
county highways.
What these activities portend can be
yisualized In some measure when II is
said that OF the 100000 miles OF
roads in this country only 100000 miles
are improved.
Motor transports work at highest eff
ficiency ON good roads. although the
pneumatic truck tire Is rendering con-
splcuOus service In transporting
heavy loads over swamp ground aud
the sandy soil OF fruit groves.

There are great many tourists
passing through Berea for the first
time at this season Of the year.
Every courtesy that can be shown

remembered. Not only will they
think well Of the person who
showed the kindness, but il will
stand 10 the credit OF the town.
We Suggest that there should
be some means Of directing tour
lists through our town. There are
a great many who go down Center
street or down Walnut Meadow
pike, thinking that they are follow
ing the Dixie Highway 10 Rich

loss Of time. Why not let our
"silent policemen" or telephone
post direct these people. A sign
painter could easily paint a few

by our town council. n you think

brother of Emperor Aurangzeb. the

were both ambitious TO sit on the Pea

du Rajputs, the race long noted for
the beauty and chastity of its women.
SO. when Arranged demanded her.
she said she belonged to Dara and
asked on what grounds he claimed
her. The emperor replied that her
long tresses had bound him as In a
net. That night messenger brought
a package TO him. wherein lay coil

the emperor sent back word that II
was the moon-like beauty of her face
that had enthralled him. Then the
girl took knife and slashed her face
until IL was hideous to look upon. She
wiped the blood from IL with a cloth
and sent II TO the emperor, as a sign
