Green Mountains protect us from the
tides of amber booze that inundate
Addison and Lamoille counties.
Can it be that Vermont, so long
considered relatively free from the
degration and crime of the metrpoo
lis, has suddenly suffered a stroke of
virtue paralysis that has left it a
sunken plateau en- route to the abode
of the imperial tempter. And it re-
manned for shopping, breath-sniffing,
mush hunters, delegated by the larg-
est daily in the state, to uncover this
terrible truth.
To be sure the territory of this
state is less fortunately situated for
prohibition enforcement than is that
of many others, bordered as it is on
the north by a country where liquor
is yet permitted TO gurgle forth. Nor
does anyone deny that rum running
is practised through the state and no

MISREPRESENTATION

With grotesque mingling of wild
Sob-sister vocabulary, in which the
fuddy-faced, leg-weary children OF
Addison county plod through the clay
with their little thin legs Tapped by
waves of rum, and a muddle of lurid
nlisshapen statement, the Burlington
Free Press assumes the role of
undertaken and lays poor old Addison
county out in a set of lavender
pajamas. No better example of
driveling dotage could be found than
this garbled tumble of misrepresent
ton as saffron as any that ever
bismirched a journalism even as yell
low as Hearstism.
Cumbersome and gauche as the
Free Press is, it is difficult to see
how it could so blunder as to lose all
sight of newspaper ethics and honor,
or resort to clever twisting of a
frank statement given them by a
sion, or to charge that Addison
county is helpless before the politi-
cal gang that is swapping the streets
with "booze," or to making of all
sorts of charges, without substantial
ing one of them with facts that can
be called real A paper sinks into a
pit of indecency when it resorts to
such disreputable methods.
The attack on Addison county and
Middlebury College seems to rise in
a blackened cloud, like a smoke
screen, to camoufage home difficult
ties, trials and tribulations. 1t is a
murky landscape the Free Press
paints, but where are the facts? 1t
is cunningly woven wool, but where
is the warp?
county does not presume to stand up
and lay claim to badge for lily
wilderness. Let it be understood that
we do not deny that the bootlegger
has piled his trade. He does every
where, and everybody knows it. But
the responsible citizens of Addison
county do emphatically deny that
they are gasping to keep heads afoat,
laundering in sea of "booze," until
the Free Press shows them that they
are.
Because we are not in touch with
the student body of the University of
Vermont, we cannot answer for their
conduct. We, however, are in touch
with the students of Middlebury Col
lege and we state fatty that they are
not menaced by bootleggers and
noonshinerE, "centered in Middlebury
and protected by political ring"
From personal knowledge we will say
that intoxication does not give the
administration of Middlebury College
one minutes worry, that it is at an
undeniable minimum. Only once has
this administration ever been obliged
to consider a case, and that was
away back last year. In this particu-
lar case the offending bootlegger,
who came from a neighboring county,
was brought to justice, and the
student in question has left college.
President Moody, who resents being
misquoted, covers nothing up because
he knows there is nothing to cover.
He at ,empted to be straightforward
and honest in a statement to a paper
thatN he thought would respect his
frankness and honesty. His attempt
was rewarded with a vicious trickery.

one would dare vouch that all the
rum gets over our southern border
before it leaks out to be Tapped up
by those still possessed of strong
appetites and iron clad interiors,
However, it does not seem possible
that the charges of wholesale boot
Logging and manufacture of liquor so
powerful that T. N. T. is as distilled
water to it can be substantiated; Ger
tainly not with evidence prompted by
suspicion that every bullying pocket
contains a eow-choking, booze-buying
bank roll or by microscoping every
new wo-dollar bill offered in circu-
lation.
That the youth CT our educational
institutions are being dragged down
to eternal damnation in the midst of
Vermont's cesspool is proven. There
is not a suspicion of doubt. Why,
unbeliever, didn't U. V. M. student
get arrested recently for being drunk
and doesn't that substantiate the
charge?
No, we are still open to conviction
through tho medium of an investi-
cation, that 900 percent more resi-
dents of Addison county should be
in Jail for law infraction than four
years ago, that the population of
Vermont in toto is little more than a
bunch of virtueless carcasses inflated
from silo sucking and that our rosy
checked children are in danger of
being kept home from school to stir
mush while mother bottles and corks

FACTS, PLEASE?

The Free Press, stung with the
disclosures of Volstead leakage in
it's own city, now concludes that the
whole of Vermont is likewise. 1t says
the state is submerged in a sea of
hooch, zone of the wettest spots be-
tween Cape Cod and the Golden
Gate" The following is from yester-
days issue:
"The highest peaks of the Green
Mountains, where there are none OF
few human habitations, might stick
up as arid islands Tapped by an ever
rising tide of moonshine, high wines,
home brew, whiskey, brandy, gin
silo sip, sap beer and cider with a
kick capable of making a Kentucky
mule drop his ears with shame"
This, of course, is persifage, but
when the contemporary goes on and
says that not only the University of
Vermont, but Middlebury College and
other educational institutions are also
submerged beneath this deluge of
bootleg, we beg to demur. What are
the facts? Names, dates, places and
circumstances Has the Free Press
got any, or is the Old Lady just
scolding?
Then comes Addison county, of
which the contemporary says:
"The section, responsible citizens
say, is now helpless in the grasp of
the Addison county political ring,
alias the Addison county booze ring,
organized and conducted for purposes
of plumber, the protection of rum
runners and the extending of the
strong arm of non-enforcement Of
law around bootleggers."
This, of course, is mere assertion.
1t may be true. Such things have
happened in Vermont under the state
prohibitory law, but no amendment
of conditions was secured under any
sort of administration without the
production of facts. Where are they,
Ancient Crone? Produce them.
Scoldl Where is your authority for
such a reckless and sweeping state
ment?
When the Free Press representa-
tive was in Rutland, kind friends
offered to cite him to the facts in the
case, buy him some evidence, show
him some hooch foundries in active
operation, but he demurred. He was
not looking for facts, apparently; all
he wanted was a vocabulary. Hence
whatever he may have to say about
this city and county will be based
on hearsay, without a single fact to
back it up. Discount such assertions
when they are uttered.
. Meanwhile, the net result of this
sort of thing will be lot of loose
not facts, figures and
evidence; mere 'harebrained chatter
of irresponsible and senile shrewish-
ness" to amplify and adapt Glad
stones celebrated diatribe: no better
ment of conditions; just bunk.-Rut-
