Jail for Drunken Drivers.
1.-THE Automobilistl

There is no denying that the drunk
en- motorist is today the greatest men
ace on our highways. Joy riding,
which is generally combination of
scorching and liquid refreshments,
has diminished but little, judging
from our court records and the re-
ports emanating from the offices of
the state automobile licensing author
tiles. Statistics show that in three
large American cities within six
weeks 26 persons have been run down
and killed by drunken automobile
drivers, joy-riding at night.
1t is time that the courts began
imposing real punishment upon these
offenders. A fine of $25 or $50 does
not mean anything to the majority
of these Individuals. They pay up
and depart from the court room
seeking new fields of adventure.
Change the fine to months of impri-
sonment in jail and there would be,
we believe, decided change for the
better.

ton in northeastern Vermont. Mr..
Petrie has a mans sized job on his
hands but the situation is not hope
less as some would lead us to believe.
There is much smuggling across the
Canadian line and considerable home
brew made but an able and enegertic
man with the capacity to organize
can accomplish wonders in the course
of a few months. There is altogether
too much scouting of the prohibition
law by otherwise patriotic citizens.
The prohibition law is just as much
a part of the constitution and law as
is the law forbidding white slavery,
murder and thieving, yet there are
some people who seem to think be-
cause they do not agree with the law
they can override it, assist in break
ing it, scott at the officers to try to
enforce it and still be patriotic citi-
zens. A person who willfully throws
his influence against this law is just
as much an anarchist as the man who
excites others to break the peace and
resist other law. People must learn
that one section of the constitution
and the law is just as much a law
and just as sacred as the other sec
tons of our statutes. Mr.. Petrie has
an opportunity to make record
which shall give him fame. He is al
so in a position to make the law still
further derided. It is a job which
takes strength, wisdom and honesty
beyond the average. This paper
wishes him we'll, pledges it's support
to every effort he makes to enforce
the law and calls upon it's readers
to assist in every possible way to
give prohibition fair chance.

Respect for Prohibition.
lBurlington Free Pressl

When any body Of citizens sets.
out with malice aforethought to Gre
ate disrespect for any particular law,
they are doing far more than to I'M
dermine a particular statute. They
are cultivating the attitude of mind
which means disrespect for all law
They are undermining the very .foun-
dations of popular government, which
is based upon law and order.
Prohibition Director Collins M.
Graves has welcomed the support of
the newspapers as whole in his eff
forts to enforce federal prohibition
in this state. Manifestly any pa
per which does not cooperate with
him can hardly be entitled to regard
as exemplifying good citizenship.
The Democratic New York Times
did not favor national prohibition as
policy but it has accepted the re-
suit as good sport as well as a
champion of majority rule, and is
standing for real enforcement of the
law. The Times makes this striking
and significant statement as to the
present situation:
According to Federal Prohibition
Commissioner Roy A. Haynes in the
great metropolitan district there is
false, wet, propaganda under way
that has as it's object the delusion of
the American people into the belief
that the prohibition law is ! failure,
that it was Slipped over on them,
that it is unpopular, and that it is
not enforced and never can be. All
of these assertions, Mr.. Haynes says,
are false, but to the deception of
many they are circulated industri-
ously by thirty paid organizations
all working to bring about the abro-
cation or notification of the amend
ment.
Whether Mr.. Haynes is right or
not as to his thirty organizations,
there is no doubt that a good many
people, who are not paid, talk about
prohibition just about as they would
if the propaganda he describes exist
ed and was working efficiently. They
are glib with confident assertions
that drinking has increased under
prohibition and that there is more
abuse of alcohol than ever before
That they know anything about gen.
eral conditions or as to the state of
public sentiment is shown by moth
ing they say and is more than doubt
full, but observers who try to see The
situation as it is will incline to the
belief that prohibition is not so much
of a failure as it's enemies insist or
so much of a success as it's friends
claim.
"That it has made big change for
the better in industrial circles is the
verdict of all empowers of labor
That much seems to be certainty
among all the uncertainties, and it
&c not q 1itt1o -
We believe that is fair statement
Of the situation as it appears to
formal published in the. great city
which was expected to be the storm
center of opposition to federal pro-
hibition. If the situation in the
metronois is correctly set forth by
the Times, as is undoubtedly the
case, then manifestlv rural commun-
tiles have little need to worry over
the outlook for permanent good re-
suits from the national temperance
policy.

Goethe's Merit.

Goethes merit lies in the perfect
finish of all his creations; there are
no strong scenes TO counterbalance
the weak, no elaboration of some parts
of the picture to make up for the
sketchiness OF others, no botching, no
padding no dwelling on details Each
character in his romances and dra-
mas is treated, wherever il appears,
as though it were the chief character.
This is Homer's manner, this is Shake
speare's. In the works of all great
poets there are, properly speaking. no
secondary characters; each person of
the drama is in his place the leading
character.-Heine.

Continents Stand for Smaller Town
Reports.
Barre Times


In spite of the fact that his
big newspaper circuit conducts a
sizeable job-printing establishment,
the editor of the Palladium and News
condemns the modern practice of
printing town reports in minute form
at the expense of the towns. Yards
after yards of statistics and figures
are printed in pamphlet form each
year for the purpose of letting the
citizens of the towns know where
their money goes, when condensed
statements would meet the require
ments in a general way. Advocacy
of condensed reports would no doubt
mean a curtailment in the business
of, the job-printing part of the con-
temporary's business; yet it does not
hesitate to speak out in support of
economy in printing expenses of the
towns. Many towns could save mon
ey, which is now spent rather use
lessly in an effort to check up on Of
ficials for the benefit of citizens. The
idea of printing town reports is good
but it can be carried too far for the
financial good of the towns.

The Burlington Clipper says it is
safe to assume that this paper would
approve of bond issue for roads if
a good slice of the road was to be
built in Orleans county. No, broth
err, we would not. You assume too
much, too often. Would the Clipper,
by the way, favor bond issue for
highways if no part of the roads to
be built with that issue were to go
into Chittenden county? The Clip
per also submits to this paper the
question of where the Republican
party would have been had it gone
on the pay-as-you-go plan in fnanc-
ing it's campaign last year, telling US
that the national organization went
into debt some one and one-quarter
million dollas. The party spent too
much and went into debt too much,
but on the basis of that debt with
100000 voters, what comparison
can be drawn to a $50,000,000 bond
issue on the backs of 365,000 tax
payers of Vermont? Let US use rea-
son in this road talk.

''Decadent'' School and Model Schools
Barre Times)

We don't mind having Pennsylvan-
ia come up to Vermont and copy af-
ter some of our model schools but
if the schools are models of their kind
we do object to a lot of false infor-
nation being spread broadcast con-
corning the alleged decadence of
Vermont schools. If the Vermont
schools are decadent, why does such
a great state as Pennsylvania send
up here to get ideas on how to con-
duct junior high school? Some
way the facts do not jibe with some
of the special articles appearing in
national magazines like the Ladies'
Home Journal of recent date. Per-
haps a little explanation on the part
of the writers of these articles on
decadent schools in Vermont is call
ed for.

Home Brew Cause of Many Auto
Accidents.
(Brattleboro Phoenix)

The Massachusetts registrar of
motor vehicles claims that after care
full investigation he is convinced that
the increase of deaths by automobile
accidents in that state last year was
due in large part to home brew and
hooch. He states that many drivers
concerned in accidents have confess
ed to him that after a drink or two
of some of the liquor procurable now
adays they sometimes went blind for
a moment or two while driving. A
drunken driver is dangerous to be at
large, but when he is drunk and blind
too, the probable consequences are
rather fearsome to contemplate.
