favor Of temperance and probably
supporters OF the eighteenth amend

cesses Of the volstead act which is
an anti-temperance law for the reas-

isfaction with the Volstead act. Hall
the Fleetwood voters, in Bennington
at least, are earnestly opposed to the
Yolstead act but considered the i'm
portance of Republican principles to
be more essential than the opportun-
ity OF expressing their feelings on the
Volstead issue We do not believe
that any more than half of those who
voted for Fleetwood here would vote
to sustain the present law If they
had the opportunity to vote on that
issue alone.
II was the belief in the protective
tariff, in states rights opposed TO
paternalism, in maintaining the pres
tige Of the superior north from domi-
nation by the inferior south. the dis
credited errors of the Wilson foreign
policy following the war and other
historic standards Of the Republican
party that elected Mr.. Fleetwood to
Congress- Tuesday.
Mr. Kennedy got the Democratic
vote which is always loyal, even
though it has a considerable minor
ity in favor Of the Volstead act. and
he also got those Republicans and
voters not allied with either party
hostile towards temperance legisla-
ton Of all sorts as well as TO the
Yolstead act alone.
There IS. however. one side Of the .
case that is not generally considered 1
in the comment since election An
immense amount Of money was spent
In behalf Of Mr. Kennedy. clearly az

The following which Longfellov
didn't write Is respectfully dedicated
90 Dick Brodie. Otto Bennett and
other enthusiasts who want TO bond
She state Of Vermont and pay out the
taxpayers money for interest instead
% for road building. The poem
hangs on the wall OF the New York
State Highway Commissioner Office:
We should build our roads 20 stay.
And departing leave behind us
Kind the rains don't wash away
When our children pay the mortgage
Fathers made to haul their loads.
They'll not have 10 ask the question.
Here's the bonds. but where's the
roads.
Bennington Banner.
The Editor Of The Journal feels
honored BY having the above poem
dedicated 10 him and Is glad 20 re-
publish Il and express his hearty ac-
cord with every sentiment therein ex-
pressed Il Is noteworthy. in this
connection. that New York State is
still issuing bonds for roads
The Journal has said. perhaps for
~ times. that Il does not favor issu-
ing bonds for terms longer than the
life Of the roads built thereby In
fact we advocate bonds for much
shorter term than the life Of the
road
II the road question has reached |
the poetic stage We viii quote one
which Shakespeare did not write and .
which may fairly be dedicated TO
Editor Howe
We should build our roads Of gravel.
And pay as We 90 our way.
Never mind the folks that travel
when these roads are washed
away.
[e should build our roads IN patches.
Just little every year
Never mind whether il matches,
The taxes are What we fear
Just wait until We are Buried.
Then build the roads you need
The expense viii then be carried
when from worldly cares we're
freed.

PRESS COMMENT
Fair Warning

The Poultney Journal, comment
Ing on the narrow squeeze OF Con
gressman-Elect Fleetwood. has d,
hesitancy In saying the result wa
due 10 the Volstead act The prohi
bition Free Press Of Burlington goel
still further and says the democrats
missed a golden opportunity Of carry
ing the first district. electing a great
many more members OF the legisla.
ture and cutting down the state re.
publican majority TO a nominal hg-
ure.
The Herald is inclined to be
thankful therefor and suggests that
in the light OF the terrific turnover
In the West and Middle West II was
just as well for Vermont to keep her
sector OF the line unbroken.
What the Poultney contemporary
says about the situation in the first
district is, however, strictly true
TheVolstead act was the main issue
with its narrow, rigid and unenforce-
able provisions and its fragrant vio-
lation, not only in the larger centers
but even in the smaller communities.
II republican leaders and the rank
and file Of Congress will only get the
idea firmly fixed in their minds that
the people as whole resent this law
and the attitude of Congress in re-
fusing a plebiscite on the question; IL
they can be made TO see that no law
win have the support of the people
that has not the peoples respect; IL
they can get a vision that this prohi-
bition business will never be settled
until the people have a chance to vote
on it; then perhaps we shall have an
end to conditions like those in New
Jersey, Illinois, New York and the
first district of Vermont. If not
Sooner or later, the people will be
heard. II not through legitimate
party channels, then through revolt
and a reputation of party Take the |
ease Of Poultney;
Only one hundred and twenty-five .
democrats enrolled themselves as
such. yet the Kennedy vote was two
hundred and forty-seven and Fleet
woods straight republican vote two
hundred and thirty-nine Twenty
wo votes for Fleetwood on the pro
libition ticket saved the day, so far
IS the town was concerned, and there
we're hundreds of similar cases in the
rst district.
Analysis of the district vote before
he official figures are known would
ardly be proper, but an increase in
be democratic vote from about FIVE
lousand in a corresponding "off'
ear to over seventeen thousand on
uesday simply means that ten or =
yelve thousand republicans desert
J their party because they were dis ,
itisfied with the working out of ma u
onal prohibition.
Unless there is an honest recogni- =
on of this issue, there are likely TO Z
J a couple OF thousand more in 1924 u
and that win carry the district a.
