FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER ., 1921.
NO BEER.

Some thirsty mOrtals hoped that if
congress adjourned without passing the
anti-beer bill there would be three or four
golden weeks during which the ruling of
former Attorney General Palmer might
become effective and the prescription of
beer as medicine permitted. Alas no!
This time it is the chief of the treasury
department, Andrew W. Mellon, who
holds that medicinal beer must await
congressional action after the recess. Up
from the more or less arid regions of the
country goes the pitiful cry, There amt
gonna be no beer" ['
Whatever ones personal attitude may
be toward the hOtly contested liquor leg
islation which the adjournment of CON
gress left up in the air, one must admit
that there is logic in Secretary Melons
both branches of congress and its final
acceptance by adoption of the conference
report is supposed to be certain.
Prohibition remains a live issue There
are those who favor it in theory who be
lieve that in practice it has failed miser-
ably and that it is even doing more harm
than good. Their doubts and question
ings added to the clamors of those who
are frankly opposed to it on every score,
greatly augment the general confusion on
this subject. There are still others who
believe that, given an honest trial, even
the present prohibition regulations would
prove satisfactory and that were this not

measures which would prove effective.
incidentally, statistics of social workers
covering charity needs, Jail and hospital
reports, etc, persist in an optimistic
tone. 1t is just possible that prohibition
may eventually be made sane and effec-
tive, in spite of the chickering's, evasions
and positive evils which have arisen
since the eighteenth amendment became a
legal fact.

lRutland Herald J

The generaT opening of schools next
week emphasizes afresh the unqualified
Importance which the school teacher,
usually woman, bears to the community
and state problems of Vermont.
The Herald has spoken with some plain
ness and unpopularity of the menace of
the dying town." unable of itself to sup
port good schools, good churches. library,
coed roads or other adjuncts of civiliza-
ton and progress.
The state is liberal to towns of that
character. II gives more than it can ex-
pect to receive. The larger towns of the
state contribute toward helping that town
in its struggle for survival 1t is to the
interest of every live town and every
forward looking citizen that such help be
given.
Church denominations, the state travel
ing library commission and the farm bu-
reaus are doing good work for the dying
town, but when it comes to the schools
some young woman, or several young
women, must agree to live and teach for
at least a year in such town: otherwise
the most important educational function
in that town is dead.
1t takes just a touch of the missionary
spirit to do it.
1t needs just spark of the oId-time

her name to a contract and packs her

1t needs a good woman. strong
woman. patient, pitying woman to do
the job well. So far, despite the counter
attractions of city and village life, most
of these needy towns have had such
women as teachers for their schools.
We say without fear of contradiction
that the job of teaching in the isolated,
backward, dying town is more important
than teaching in the schools of Burling-
ton, or Rutland, or Barre, or st. Adams,
or Bennington, or Montpelier or Brattle-
borO, because those towns and cities have
other educational advantages.
In the back town, the needy town the
town dying of natural decay, the school
house is the outpost of civilization, the
port of drifting ships, the lighthouse of
warming and direction, the rescue station
of the community.

Controlling the Speeders.
(St. Johnsbury CaIedonian.

There will never be sufficient police
forces to hold the speeding automobilists
in check. The scOrcherS may behave fairly
we'll in towns when they see an officer, but
when they get out ON the roads their hog
nature shows itself. Speeders will have
to be checked by the action of the motor
ing public. who shall work to correct the
excuses of those Of their own number who
show wrong spirit.
The Automobile Legal association of
New England prints in its magazine Il
form of complaint which members of that
society are supposed to use in reporting
reckless drivers. On receiving such a
complaint with the motorists number the
society demonstrates with him. and urges
him to cooperate in making the roads
safe. A fellow who Tins gets called down
a few times begins to think.
The motorists of northeastern Vermont
should cooperate in such ways to control
the speeding element, which makes the
roads dangerous even for careful people
Whenever a driver does rank thing
someone should get his number and de
scribe the incident to some authority that
Will take the matter up with him. and
persuade him to use more care in future
People are too goOd-natured in tOlerating
the reckless acts of daredevil drivers.

PRICE CUTTING THAT COUNTS.

Middle western manufacturers of farm
implements and machinery have an
nounced price reductions ranging from Z
to 40 per cent, and including entire lines
from tractors and spreaders to hand
tools. 1t is evidence of a tardy determi-
nation to empty warehouses-something
impossible earlier in the year-and to
start afresh.
The effect of such price cutting can
not but prove far-reaching. 1t means
that farmers everywhere will be able,
thanks to somewhat improved crop mar
kets, to replace old and worn equipment
1t means a lessening of unemployment in
hundreds of cities, and, no less import
ant, it holds the promise of better things
for the steel trade.
Last springs farm implement business
was the poorest in years, and the sum
mer has seen no heavy sales. Big crops
and better prices for them must mean
more business all down the line
-. There is hope, now, that before snow
flies, the implement makers will be in
the market for something approaching
their normal volume of steel and iron.
Their needs alone will stimulate the ma
TONS steel districts to a measure of ac-
tivity which will react to the benefit of
those who mine ore and coal, run freight
ers on the lakes and make the railroad
wheels go round.
1t is not human nature to take bust
ness losses willingly, but the business
losses like those the implement makers
are taking now will lead to business
gains within a year or two.
