The Manufacturers Record OF
Baltimore recently published q
symposium from hundreds of the
leading manufacturers, bankers
and professional men as to then
views on the prohibition question
Many strong arguments are adj
vanced from both the economic
and moral standpoints from noted
men as Judge E. H. Gary, Dr.
Richard C. Cabot, Eugene n. Foss,
President Burton of the University
of Minnesota and many others.
The following QUESTIONABLE was
published and four Vermonters re-
piled to it, Frank H. Brooks of
st. Johnsbury, Gov. James Hart
ness of Springfield Judge William
ID. Taylor of Hardwick and Char
les P. Smith of Burlington.
l Are you still opposed to the
liquor traffic to the extent that
you were when you signed the pet
ition to Congress? If so, will YOU
kindly give me your views on the
matter either in a brief sentence
or two, or in more elborate dis
cussion?
2. If you have changed your
views in any way will you kindly
give me our reasons therefor in
the same manner?
3. What has been our ex-
perence in studying this question
as to the effect of Prohibition on
labor or the saving of the money
formerly spent for liquor, and its
use in the betterment of homes and
the better are for women and child
rem of the men who formerly spent
freely for drink?
4. Is drunkenness as common
at the present time, so far as you
an learn, as it was under the open
saloon and the free liquor traffic?
If in addition to the questions
which | have asked, you can give
me any other information or ex-

law breakers should be punished.
3. | believe it is absolutely
beneficial to the East majority in
every way.

file. Among the well-to-do and
those who can pay, there seems to
be a determined fight to break
laws, lidicule a beneficient law and
try to succeed in showing selfish
ness.
5. The rich high-class who
connive with bootleggerS should
be classed as criminals and Grim
lnally responsible for insisting
upon having their drinks in def
ance of the Constitution and the
laws of the land.
Gov. Hardness replied,
l. Yes.

Owing to the recent mild outbreak
of typhoid fever, and taking into con-
sideration the several other such out
breaks in Newark during the past few
years, the local Board of Health has
recommended a pasteurizing plant and
also passed an ordinance providing
that all milk sold-in the town must be
pasteurized. Council discussed the
matter at a meeting last week, and
while most of the members expressed
the opinion that the town money
should not be used for such a purpose
Mayor Frazer and Councilman Wilson
were appointed a committee to look
further into the matter, as to the cost
of such a plant. Mrs. Laura Hossing-
er, secretary of Town Council, who be-
came ill with typhoid fever more than
a week ago, is in a serious condition.
The five other typhoid fever patients
in the town are all improving and no
new cases have been reported the past
