Husbands Appointment on Merit.
(Rutland Herald.)

The appointment of Walter Hus-
Oand, once of ST. JOhnSbury and now
81 w asningtCn, as commissioner gen
eral OF lnlnlgra ton is the sort Of mer-
it appointment that one likes to see.
MIR. Husband is an ex-neWspaper
man of Vermont, who has followed in
the footsteps of some other distin-
guished men in Washington, being
irst secretary to Senator Dillingham;
and clerk OF the committee on immi-
grafton. In the latter capacity he
went to Europe with the commission
of Congress which was delegated to
investigate immigration conditions
at the source, and, second to Senator
Dillingham; himself, has perhaps the
best first-hand information about i'm
migration Of anyone in Washington.
In addition, the new commissioner
eneral has devoted practically all his
lime Of late years to an intensive
study Of the same subject and condi-
ions, so that probably he has in metz
,u.ous detail the exact facts about the
problem, brought strictly and abso-
utely up to present-day conditions.
Vernonters in Washington also say
hat Walter Husband has abundantly
demonstrated his ability in an admin
strative way and that he will un-
ioubtedly be a successful and impor-
can't factor of the new administration
n dealing with the conditions which
| he new immigration law will develop.
IL in all, the administration and the
ountry are as much entitled to con-
yratulations as the new official.

smuggle it across the line, bat bust
ness on a wholesale basis will be al
most impossible and much less trouble
will be experienced. The liquor bust
ness in North America, north OF Mex
leo, is practically driven into one cor
ner of the continent, and that corner
is the Province of Quebec. Most OF
the other provinces of Canada are dry
and Quebec is beginning to squirm I'M
der the finger of scorn which is point
ed at her from every quarter. The
move of taking the traffic over as a
government business is one step
nearer the ultimate adjustment OF
the business entirely. To be sure
there are discouraging features
about prohibition, but the benefits OF
an officially dry nation are beng
felt. sentiment for the present law
the nation over is gaining rapidly, a
new generation of non-users is grow
ing up, and troublesome experiences
with offenders need not turn us from
a steadfast course of advancement.
Prohibition in the United States has
come to stay and as the years go DIV
will become more and more efficient,
more and more beneficial and more
and more a continental affair.

short, to set at naught such long-es-
tablished laws as that of supply and
demand and make Vermont a state
toward which all others would turn
with envy and establishment.
Of course he hasn't don't these
things because such things are i'm
possible. But has he shown that ca
pacity for leadership that persons
who had no Authorizations about the
fairy-tale features of his campaign
program expected he would show ?
The Reformer hasn't yet seen evil
dence of it.
With the best intentions in the
world Governor Hardness went into
a game which has been played for a
great many years according to estab-
lished rules. His chief mistake seems
to have been that instead of trying to
learn these rules he ATTEMPTED to pro-
mulgate an entirely new set. Thus
far his rules haven't been adopted.
And because of this situation he has
been unable to make the collective
mind of the legislature "run along
with his" on any important matter.

Gods Country the Year Around.
(Stanstead. P. O., JournaD

(StanStead, 4. w., couIHoiI
A considerable number of Orleans
county people go away from home to
California or the South for the winter
months. Their business success at
home has made it possible for them
to take the few weeks, change OF Gil
mate and scenes, and they often return
to their native hearth with great
schemes for the home town, that they
have found in the lands of booms.
We hear the news, the pilgrim unloads
his propaganda, takes up the routine
of his success and we all forget the
wonderful panacea for the dry rot"
of this steady-going north country.
The fact is that the growth OF Call
fornia and Florida is made possible
because so many northern people are
willing to pay long prices for meagre
and food to aid the
development. Somebody started the
ball rolling and advertls5G - --nds OF
flowers and perpetual 1t is
very peculiar how W. Will stand the
''gaf" in some other locality, and cut
out the same thing completely at
home. Every rational man or wom-
IN knows that northern Vermont is
Gods country, twelve months of the
year, and that it is developing grad
ually in the best possible way and is
absolutely free from any mushroom
growth.

Governor Hartness
(Brattleboro Refo-mer)


There isn't any question about the
way the Rutland News feels about
Governor Hardness. In it's opinion
he has been anything but a successful
executive thus far. According to the
News the governor has surrendered
to the Bates political machine on the
highway question, has failed to pro-
pose hny constructive legislation him
self 3'or welded sufficient influence to
bring about the passage of construc-
tive legislation of other origin. The
legislature, the News says, has look
ed to the governor for leadership and
received only STEW nebulous talks
on how to get a toe-hold on ininity."
This criticism is somewhat prema-
ture, and too, somewhat exaggerated.
But it is fact, nevertheless-or The
Reformer believes it to be, at least
that Governor Hardness has been a
great disappointment to hundrers of
persons who rallied enthusiastically
to his support last fall. They expect
ed him to make factory chimneys
sprout in every corner of the state

that would transform rural villages
into thriving industrial centers; in

The tremendous seizures of liquor

thought the business of 'rum run
