BartOn's Educational Week.
Randolph Herald and News)

Up in Barton as feature of Educa-
tional week, the local school board
offered silk flag as prize to the
grade winning the most points in a
contest for attendance by visitors.
One point was credited for each wom-
an visitor and two points for each
man, it being assumed to be twice as
heavy a task to rope in the males as
the females. A great deal Of inter-
est resulted and the visitors poured
in by the score. The scale turned in
favor of one of the grades when a
local employer shut down his shop
and ran his men in for the count. At
an evening session, several hundred
people assembled to attend the educa-
tional meeting. The effect of such a
stimulus is said to have been distinct
ly helpful, as we'll as informing to
many who hadn't visited school for
years.

Why the Prison Is Full.
BARRE Times J

Plans for the construction of a
large number of new cells at the Yer
mont state prison in Windsor do not
speak markedly for the moral uplift
in the state at the present time. But
the fact remains that Vermont's jail
population has been largely augment
ed during the last six months by the
drift from the large cities of other
states and is not, therefore, to be at
tributed to any great moral deterior-
alton in Vermont people. Every sum-
mer there is considerable movement
of criminals and er-do-wells from
the large centers of population to the
more open country like Vermont; and
this summer has been no exception.
In fact, the summer just past has
been unusually NAKED in this re-
spect because Vermont is one of the
chief Highways botv-7een the United
States and the legal liquor area in
the Province of Quebec, and many of
the exploiters of liquor from the
large cities have stopped along the
route either by compuIsl.,n or by nee
essity of conditione. In consequence
Vermont's jail and prison population
has taken on an increase which neces-
states larger accommodations at the
state prison in Windsor.

Protestant Indifference.
bellows Falls Times)

To the careful observer the indiffer-
ence of the Protestant world to
things spiritual and eternal is amaz-
ing. These people profess to believe
that the present life is but brief
moment in an eternal existence, yet
during that moment they forget God.
They profess to believe that the Bible
contains message direct from the
Infinite One, yet if they possess a
copy it rests week after week in Sc
Guided corner, it's message ignored.
They profess to believe that the
church is the House of God and that
the Great Creator is actually in the
church, yet the fact that God is there
has no interest for them. They are
not worrying about salvation.
If going to church is as much a
matter of habit as principle, can the
habit be acquired in middle life? On
ly under great handicap. The time
to form the habit is when young, and
then even if it is ignored for time,
it is probable that as age advances it
will be revived.

Highway Policy.
(RutIand Herald)

One of the most unfortunate Incl
dents of matchmaking here as else
where, has been the very marked
loss of momentum between two state
administra tons. This has resulted
% in an unavoidable let-up in plan
ming and serious loss of office and
field morale; (2) in the inevitable
absorption of the heads of the high
way organization in legislation of
various kinds.
To obviate this in a degree, the
present legislature passed the high
way board bill, providing for three
commissioners, with terms arranged
to overlap each administration, the
intention being to provide for a con-
tinuation of existing policy and it's
uninterrupted administration.
Governor Hartness has rather in
differently taken advantage of this
act as finally enacted into law. In
stead of putting his practical men
on the board, he has used it mostly
to choose his own field men, the pur-
pose of the board being purely legis-
lative. Incidentally, too, he has in
creased the overhead Of the depart
ment very considerably.
Out of such an arrangement we
shall not get the best sort of high
way policy. It will be more or less
an indefinite policy. What it will
bring forth next year is a question.

the money spent on new buildings
could be devoted for a few years to
cleansing the plague spots in isolat-
ed sections to the eradication of low
and vicious instincts by securing to
every child the right to be born of
decent parentage, we should in due
time see crime, idocy and insanity
decreasing until Estate wards" would
belong to a dark and shameful past.
AS it is, we squander time, effort and
money trying to control a noxious
situation without ever attempting to
get down to the root of the trouble.

Collins Graves Learning Their
Tricks

Liquor smugglers across the Cana
dian border have adopted the most
cunning methods to throw prohibition
agents off their guard, according to
Collins M. Graves, of Bennington, fed
eral prohibition director, who con-
ferred with Commissioner Haynes at
Washington last week. The business
has also become profitable to~the ex-
tcrt that it permits the acquisition of
ell the modern paraphernalia, name
w., golf sticks, fashionable clothing
and other marks of aff1uence.
"The NEST astute. cunning methods
are employed by the runners" said
Mr.. Graves. "In instances, attrac-
lively dressed women passengers in
hio,l-powered automobiles equipped
with golf bags and other fashionable
paraphernalia are used for deceptive
purnose in order to transport liquor
across the border"
MIR. Graves reports that he had
succeeded in reducing the rum-run-
ming so percent, attributing the: i'm
provement to the cooperation of Can
adam officials.
Appointment of a, new prohibition
director for New York state viii be
made within the next two weeks.

Prevent Instead of Reform.
(Springfield Reporter)


Editor Hindley of the Rutland Her
aid spoke before the Mems club of
the Congregational church in Bel
lows Falls one evening last week on
Estate Affairs" and in the course of
his remarks touched upon the prob
lem presented by the so-called back
towns or settlements which were
created through numbering opera
tons in forest regions. When these
operations ceased the hamlets were
left to their own destruction and out
of such isolated sections have come
most of the states wards in the in
titutions at Waterbury, Brattleboro,
Brandon and Vergennes-thei insane,
the criminal and the foolish, or those
who have to be kept under some form
of restraint. This is quite in line
with the reasoning of that thought
full criminologist and former head of
the Industrial school at Vergennes,
j. N. Barss, who was wont to deplore
the shortsighted policy of constant
ly building more asylums and re-
formatories without making any eff

ADVERTISING
SUBSCRIPTIONS
PROHIBITION

1t is needless to have any controver-
sy with the man who holds that a
believer in national prohibition is a
fanatic, or on the other hand to waste
words with a person who holds that
all opponents of the 18th amendment
are "rummies." That our drastic
sumptuary law has decreased the con-
sumption of ardent spirits is unques-
toned and admits of no argument.
When quart of whiskey costs any
where from 81 to $40 as against a
gallon for So it takes the proposition
out of the category of ethics and
places it in the realm of economics.
If the government could establish and
enforce a monopoly of the sale of
liquor at say $40 quart and supply
anyone who had the price, it might
be the best solution of the question.
Prohibition in some form has come
to stay. There will never be a legally
open saloon in the United States
again. 1t is likely there may always
be contention that the amendment
was "put over" on the American
people, but if the question was re
ferred to a referendum vote tomorrow
it would carry overwhelmingly The
weakness of prohibition isn't in its
numerical strength, but rather in the
character of so many of it's sponsors
All of this bribing, hip-pocketing, suit
casing, rum running and criminality
isn't to cater to the perverted who
can be pointed to as a horrible ex-
ample 1t is in most instances the
respected and self-respecting citizen
who is the customer of the chance
taker, and just SO long as there is ar
element of society whose tastes anG
appetites don't square with their pro
fessions the matter Of enforcing pro
hibition is going to demand the at
tention Of the law.
If you have much of an acquaint
ance you know men who would at once
inform the authorities if arson, rob
berry or even pilfering became
known to them, who absolutely refuse
to give information regarding liquor
infractions, and a lot of them are
not drinking men either. To be homes
and law. upholding the public con
science must be awakened to the poin
where you, Mr.. Reader, will be a.
quick and jubilant to inform an of
ficer of a friend who possesses liquor
as you would if you knew him to have
a stolen pocketbook. Both are crimes
and both are punishable. If you ar,
ready to do this hold up your hand
and the The News will print al
honor roll. 1t isn't a question wheth
er prohibition is best and RICH
or otherwise, but whether the law O.
the land shall have the succor O.

vermont's Opportunities.

(From the Manchester JournaD
If man like the late James j. Hill
had the authority to conduct the state
business and promote and manage the
industries of Vermont, how would he
go about it?
Even an ordinary business man
knows that he would see to it that
the quality of Vermont butter and
other dairy products were raised to a
standard which would give them pre-
eminent positions in the eastern mar
kets. Improbable herds and crops
would be eliminated and energy cen
tered upon products and crops suita-
BILE to our soil and readily market
able. The maple sugar industry would
be extended and the, purest and best
product assured to the buyer. Lands
suitable for forest only would be re-
forested and the land suitable for
sheep used for sheep grazing. APP
pie orchards would be planted all over
the state and the finest apples in the
world put upon the market with STAN
dard grading. Timber lands would
be conserved and all timber manufac-
tured to the highest degree Water
powers would be developed and made
use of in manufacturing. The resort
business would be made a great fea-
ture of the state and plans made to
make Vermont the playground of the
East. Without doubt, James j.
Hill would first of all see to it that
all parts of the state were made
readily accessible by system of
roads, branching from trunk lines,
which would permit the maximum of
traffic all the year round, meaning
that they would, at least as to the
trunk lines, be permanent. He would
not consider the business develop
ment of the state a possibility with
out adequate means of transporta-
ton.
Would he borrow money to build
such roads? No answer Is necessary
If such super-business man should
manage Vermont, does any person
doubt that in ten years we would
show great increase in population
and wealth?
It is not practical, of course, to Sc
cure such management but why not
work along these lines individually
and as a state?
Are politics, natural self satisfac-
ton and sectional prejudice going to
hold us back forever?

PRESS CLIPPINGS
Spirit of Losing Athletes Admired.
BARRE Timesl

After being mauled and manhan-
died by various opponents during the
early part of the season, the Newport
high school football team showed its
stamina and spirit by sticking to it
until it found some team it could
beat-St. Johnsbury academy-which
it proceeded to do by the score of 80
to 6. This was not such triumph,
as things athletic in st. Johnsbury
academy are not what they were a
quarter of century ago, but it was
compensation enough for the per-
sistency which Newport has shown.
One has to admire the spirit the up
starters have displayed under adverse
circumstances.
