THE ROTARY CLUE INQUIRY.

The Rotary clubs are to undertake a
national investigation of the conditions
surrounding the care of disabled sold
iers. A committee from each of the 500
clubs in the United States will investi-
gate conditions in its own district and
make a complete report of the findings
In a letter to the American Legion
heads the secretary of the associated
clubs report that the association has been
shocked at legion reports of neglect and
inefficiency in caring for the disabled. 1t
promises to conduct its investigation in
such a way that from 500 communities
in every part of the United States will
come evidence of business and profess
sional men to prove to the American
people whether or not the American Ie-
gion reports are based on hysteria or
upon actual facts so revolving and heart.
rending as to cause the whole American
people to rise in their might and do
justice to the men who sacrificed them
selves for their country"
The Rotary clubs represent member
ship of some $4,000 American business
and professional men. They are OBJ
viously well qualified for the undertake
ing. Legion officials welcome the action
of the Rotary clubs and are confident that
they will find conditions understated by
the legion rather than Over-emphasized.
There has been much conversation, and
many we'll meant efforts have been made
to bring these matters plainly before
the public and secure effective congress
sional action for soldier relief. If this
latest activity results in actual help for
men who need and deserve it, it cannot
be too speedily accomplished.

DIR. James r. Day, who has returned
TO the lmelight with an attack ON Gig
arettes, is chancellor of Syracuse uni
versity and one of the most capable ed
ucators in America. To the general pub
lie his name has become well known by
reason of the numerous public contro-
versies in which he has engaged In 1906
he attracted wide attention by his de-
nunciation of President Roosevelt for
his attitude against Standard Oil. DIR.
Day was born in 1915 and received his
first schooling on his fathers farm in
Maine. In 1874 he completed his colleg-
late course at Bowdoin and entered the
Methodist ministry After filling impor-
tant charges in Portland, Boston and
New York he retired from the active
ministry in 1894 To take the chancellor
ship of Syracuse university. Chancel-

he was elected a bishop of the Methodist
church, but declined to accept.

The Roads Improve.
LHartford COurant. }

The highway bulletin for New England
tells automobilists generally that dirt
roads are still badly rutted alternately
frozen and muddy. but are rapidly i'm
proving. Heavy cars and trucks should
not attempt through travel. In Maine.
for instance, the road from Portland to
kennebunk is good but the rest of the
highways are described as very muddy.
The great highway through New Hamp-
shire is said to be passable as far as
Concord.
Vermont is disposed of with the COM
ment that its roads are fair with deep
mud in places while the highway from
White River Junction to Montpelier and
Burlington is not impossible. though
travel on it is inadviSable. That part OF
Massachusetts east of the Connecticut
river gets a clean bill of health. but the
Berkshire roads should be regarded with
caution. though it is hoped that the Mo-
hawk Trail will be open by the end OF
the week. Rhode Island roads are sat
sfactOry as are those of this state with
the exception of that from Winsted to
pittSfeld, except that it is said that there
are soft spots TO Norfolk Evidently the
roads are doing as well as could be ex-
pected, to use a phrase current in hos
pitfalls.

Vermont and Prohibition.
burlington Free PressO


Vermont is for temperance under the
federal prohibition amendment. That has
come to stay. We do not understand
why there should be any particular con-
trOversy over the enforcement of fed
eral prohibition in this state. The state
can not change the percentage of alco-
hOl in legal beverages. for the supreme
court of the United States has decided
that congress has exclusive authority to
legislate in this particular direction I'M
der the 18th amendment to the conStitu-
ton of the United States, although
states are given concurrent jurisdiction
with the United States by the amend
ment as to enforcement. Manifestly it
would be legal fiction as well as prac-
teal impOssibility for a state to try to
say what should be intoxicating. while
the United States said something else.
If this is the situation, then all that is
necessary is for the state TO help en-
force national prohibition as interpreted
by congress. The present liquor law in
Vermont was intended to facilitate the
licensing of the sale of intoxicating IL
quOrS as a beverage. 1t provides for pro-
hibition, but its provisions are closely
tied up with license terms.
1t would be possible to enforce federal
prohibition with our license law machin-
cry but it would be an anachronism. 1t
would be difficult in the extreme to I'M
scramble the present law to take out
from it the provisions for the granting of
licenses and the language incidental
thereto.
Since we are to enforce federal prohi-
bition, either under the old law with IL
cense terms taken out of it, or under a
new law which can be passed more read
lily than to revise radically the old law,
as pointed out, why try to retain some
thing which has in effects already passed
out forever in Vermont as well as the en-
tire United States?
1t is not necessary to make specific
provision in the prohibitory law FOR the
| removal of prosecuting officers, if they do
not perform their duties. This is already
| provided for in organic and statutory
measures. A law simply following the
prohibiting provisions of our present law
and making the per cent that fixed by
congress should meet the situation. No
elaborate new machinery should be pro-
vided for the enforcement of federal nro-
| hibition in Vermont. We expect Uncle
Sam to bear the principal part of this
national burden especially on the Canad-
| ian border

MIR. HapgOod of Peru.
lRntland NeWs.

M. ]. Hapgood, who keeps a little hotel
in Peru and who, despite his Overwhelm-
ing defeat at the polls, has appointed
himself the supreme judge of the morals
of the people of Vermont, is again at
Montpelier. He is sending out publicity
matter asking for editorial comment to
boom 'er up he says. The Rutland
News is prepared to give him what he
asks.
He is now advocating the stoppage of
cigarette sales in Vermont although no
one asked him to and despite the fact
that he was well wallOped at the polls in
the last election.
Hapgood has made nuisance of him
self in the state in general and at Mont
pelier in particular for years. His fool
ish dissertations on everything under the
sun have prolonged session after session
of the legislature and has been a source
of constant expense to the people of the
state.
If no one else will do it the legislature
ought to appoint n keeper for him or
turn him over to the tender mercies of
the gray squirrels which inhabit the state
house grounds at Montpelier They. at
least, could be depended on to store him
up for the winter

chine. 1t means there will be no i'm
prOvement in road-making methods in
Vermont. 1t means that a governor who
was elected by the biggest vote ever
given a candidate for the Office was not
far-sighted enough to see that he had
the people back of him, and that ne
could have smashed any machine that
opposed him. He had the best OppOr-
tunity ever open TO a Vermont governor
to prove himself a great leader-and he
fooled. That the people are disappoint-
ed in him and Disguised with the legis-
lature is evident to anyone who takes
pains TO look acknowledgements YER
mOnter.
Prophecy is always interesting though
sometimes dangerous for the vanity of
the prophet. The governor and the leg
iSlature are both essential parts of the
state government. In time of conflict of
opinion both can hardly have their own
way. In the strife over the road COM
missionership at Montpelier no great
principle was involved. The legislature
wanted to retain an excellent man Ill of
fee and the governor wanted to appoint
one who ranked high where he was
known. Yielding n point, where no harm
| is done, is the mark of a gentleman and
| a man of honor. If the governor has
! proved broad enough to prevent bitter
conflict by not standing on his dignity
| and fighting for his technical rights. he
has again proved himself u full-sizcC
man. 1t is tile little fellows who get 81
pulled up with pride that they have t.
have their own way or burst. The muct
talked of battle over the question whC
| is to be highway commissioner of Yer
mont is not one-tenth part as important
as the question of how to use trucks anC
| still save the roads. If the Legislature
1 had devoted as much time TO that lSSu'
las they have to chewing the rag Ovel

to the state would be greater and more

Nisatin club the other night with bright
chap, an engineer, by the way, and one
who has travelled the roads of Vermont
for some years. This party has not got
several pet notions about what should be
done for our roads, but in his wanderings
he tells us he can tell the minute he strikes
new town line with his eyes shut. 1t
was a very Illuminating talk he gave us,
banging nobody, but strongly criticislng
the system. Summing up, he says: Get
the best engineer money Will procure,
make him highway commissioner of Yer
mont, tell him to go to it, and get results
Wen say this young engineer is absolutely
right. If we are not mistaken this is the
program Governor Clement had in mind.

he should certainly be something besides

MENDING THE ROCK.

Plymouth Rock is being put in repair
1t seems to have stood the rigors of the
New England climate rather worse than
have the Pilgrims who made it famous
Rain and frost have cracked it until it
is in danger of going to pieces. The
cracks will be filled with strong cement,
the whole historic block will be made one
again, and a canopy will be placed over
it adequate to protect it from the unkind
clements hereafter.
A frivolous New York editor intimates
that the ideals of the Pilgrims have suf-
fered as much disintegration in these 300
years as has their granite stepping stone.
If so, they are not so easily repaired
Moral cement is hard TO prepare and
apply.
\ casual comparison of Plymouth Rock
with the Stone of Scone is interesting and
suggestive. For centuries the kings of
Scotland were crowned on that stone.
Since the union of Scotland with Eng
land, it has made seat for the corona
ton chair in which the British kings are
crowned.
That precious Rock is the most cher
ished relic in America. If Plymouth
could ever be persuaded to give it up.
it might be a fitting thing to move it to
Washington and use it as a pedestal on
which to administer the inaugural oath
to presidents. In that case, to make
the historic association complete, and
satisfy southern as well as northern ira.
ditions, the Rock could be imbedded in
soil from Virginia.

COnsciences Strangely Insensible.
(New York Times. }

According to A. Mitchell Palmer, who
still speaks with the knowledge, though
no longer with the authority, of attor-
new general, 1.-The prohibition law never
will be fully effective until the public
become possessed of a consciousness of
wrong-doing in violating it
That is true, of course, as 1t IS true
of every law. 1t is also true that
large number of people, some of them
otherwise law abiding and some OF them
not. seem to feel no compunctlonS at all
about violating or ignoring the prohlbl.
ton law, and only fear the penalties OF
detection.
Why this should be so one at least
can pretend to find incomprehenslble.
Prohibition was not sprung on the
country either suddenly or secretly. 1t
came after years and years of discussion,
in the course of which everybody had
numberleSs chances to express his or her
opinion and to exert his or her influence
A large majority of the states went
dry voluntarily. and while the others,
or some of the others, were coerced, II
was coercion of the sort TO which every
citizen of a democracy is bound IN law
and honor cheerfully TO submit.
Tho talk one hears about tyranny. out
rage and deprivation of personal liberty
is all nonsense and worse. Having made
the prohibition law. if we break it, or
even if we let Others break it without de-
pouncing them to authority, we show
ourselves unfit to participate in self
government.

We congratulate the members of the
legislature on the defeat by a vote of 12S
TO 81 of the bill to repeal Vermont's law
for the direct nomination of candidates
for public office by the voters themselves.
Such action would have meant a long
step backward, and the farther back it
would have carried us the more are the
people indebted TO the members who
stood as a bulwark against that out
come. We believe the time will come
when every member of the legislature
will rejoice that Vermont continued to
stand for the real voice of the people,
and when. nobody would think of repeal
ing direct primaries than the Austral-
ian ballot. 1t is a great victory for po-
litical equality and genuine Democracy

The listers of BrattleborO propose to
require business men to file detailed in
ventories to substantiate the lists handed
in. The intent of the plan obviously is
to prevent deception. However. it is
just as possible to turn in an incorrect
inventory as an incorrect list and if
there are persons who do the latter there
will be those who will do the former. The
listers of Brattleboro are to be COM
mended for their desire to secure a fair
grand list but it seems probable they
viii have to resort to further methods
in order to secure it.
