Easter and the Passover.

Although the date of Easter had

Easter and the Passover have been OBJ

KEEP-THE-LAW SUCKERS.

There is a Keep-the-Law drive on in
some of the eastern states which will
probably sweep the country, and ought
to. It's object is to set before the peo-
pie in very simple form the good results
of prohibition.
The work is sponsored by charitable
agencies and welfare workers. These
people have found prohibition a most
helpful force in the conditions they han
die They believe that the opposition
to prohibition in many instances is due
to Indifference or to ignorance of the
fact that. faulty as the law is, it still
is a tremendous factor for good. Hence
they propose to set before the public the
economic and sociological advantages as
they have found them, and stickers
bearing the facts in brief and pithy
wording are to be broadcast and pasted
everywhere.
BY way of example. one sticker
states: Before prohibition. drinking
was at the bottom of twenty-seven per
cent of the cases handled by a single
welfare society in a single year. In
1921 only one and one-half per cent
were due to drink
Another quotes Lincoln: Let every
man remember that to violate the law
is to trample on the blood of his father
and tear the charter of his own and his
childrens liberty"
The slogan of the drive is ''Prohibi-
ton is the law-kecp the law"
SO much is made of the faults and
failings of the dry regime that this wide
and telling publicity as to its proved
advantages should be a valuable coun-
ter-inhuence for the keeping of the law
in the present and its preservation in
the future.

WAR WIRELESS OUTFIT.
Abandoned Equipment Found on Barnet
Mountain by Preacher.

BARNET, Vt, April 3.-Rev A. E.
Gregg. who IS an enthusiastic hiker,
tain. last week, discovered the remains
of an abandoned wireless outfit In one
of the most inaccessible spots ON the
mountain, on the edge of q cliff, the out
fit was located in the top of very tall
pine.
Despite the fact that the apparatus
occupied such a commanding position
where a view could be obtained Of the
surrounding country for miles around,
it was SO cleverly camouhaged that it
would have been difficult matter for
any searching party to discover it.
The equipment has been completely
abandoned There is little doubt among
residents of this section that it was in
use during the war to considerable
extent It's discovery revives the MANY
stories and rumors that were circulated
during the World war. many of which
are now given additional credence.

When Poles We're Warm.

Among the interesting dlscoverles'
made by antarctic expeditions are the
fossil bones of many vertebrate animals,
including some of great size, together
with abundant remains of plants. These
show that, as in the ease of the north
polar regions, mild climate once existed
where now everything is in the grip of
perpetual frost. Explorers have found
evidence that great forests once -four
ished on the borders of the antarctic
continent, aud the animal remains indi-
cate that vast eXpanses of heritage must
have existed there to serve as feeding

The Early Bird.
Huntington News. }


If it IS true without qualification,
that the early bird catches the worm the
gubernatorial wiggler is now safely in
the vest pocket of Lieutenant Governor
FoOte. Some sarcastic philosopher has
long ago exploded the old adage by sug-
costing that if it were true all milkmen
would be millionaires so we feel safe in
assuming that the early bird overlooks
a worm or two for the late entrants to
pick up.
We haven't any idea that Mr.. Foote is
going into the stretch without some pretty
opposition and around Montpelier the
names most mentioned in connection with
the nomination are Redfeld Proctor,
Ex-Gov. Fletcher and Col. III. Nelson
Jackson. While nobody knows Mr..
proctor's mind there is an assumption
that he is going to become a candidate.
Gossip also has it that in the event of
his candidacy Mr.. Fletcher will airily
toss his chapeau into the ring for battle
regardless of mountain rules. Marquis of
Queensbury rule, or any other kind of
rule.
The sage of Cavendish is not credited
so much with a desire to be governor as
with desire not to see Mr.. Proctor in
the state house which, of course. may be
an unjust and unworthy suspicion to en-
terrain, but tits all too true we live in
an unworthy and suspicious age.
If the Fletcher stand is correctly inter
preted, Mr. Fletcher would stay out if Mr..
Proctor stayed out, thus centering the
Emelight on Colonel Jackson. The fight

MAY WOMEN SMOKE?

The New York police, having set
about to enforce a city ordinance for
bidding women to smoke in public
places, and forbidding proprietors of
restaurants to let them smoke, stopped
the crusade when they discovered there
wasn't any such ordinance. The meas
ure had never been passed, and does not
seem likely to be.
A similar effort, however, is being
made at Washington. A bill intro
duced in congress by Representative
Johnson of Mississippi would prohibit
women from smoking in cafes, hotel
dining rooms, street cars and other pub
lie places within the District of Column
bia.
1t need not be hastily assumed that
this is a joke. 1t was considered a
joke at first when congress undertook to
make Washington dry, before the days
of the prohibition amendment and it
turned out to be very serious bust
ness. Inasmuch as the people of Wash
ington have no votes, congress feels
free to do what it likes with them and
for them, and delights in trying govern
mental experiments there
1t is hardly conceivable that any such
legislation would be upheld by the su,
preme court, when the matter finally
reached that body-as it surely would

NO POET LAUREATE NEEDED.
A Step Backward and an Unnecessary
Expense TO State.

Expense to State.
Editor of The Reformer -
In recent issue of The Reformer, an
article was printed announcing that
Vermont is to have a poet laureate if
the plans of the State Federation of
WOmen's Clubs are carried out. Is not
this step backward in the world rather
than a step forward?
y poet laureate is usually paid
member of royal household whose duty
it is to write odes and poems for Ger
tain specified occasions-the monarchs
birthday, the advent of a royal baby or
any great national event. Probably the
name of Alfred Tennyson is more IA
mHiar to most of US as a poet laureate
than that of any other.
1t is hard to write poems to order ::
Pegasus is not easily harnessed, the
divine afiatus does not always descend
upon those who greatly desire it, also
need it.
If this idea of a poet laureate had
started in some one of those states
where tournaments are still held. and
where radiant Queen of Beauty is on
hand to do her part in browning or
otherwise rewarding the victor, it could
be more readily understood But here
in cold Republican Vermont of rather
strict Puritanical tendencies, the alb
supsity is too great to be countenanced
by grown-up women usuallI claSsed as
sensible. 1t Is to be supposed that the
office, if created, is to be salaried
one, or is it AL for love and nothing
for reward?"
The Womens clubs have been asked
for extra contributions for expenses for
the headquarters of the general feder-
alton; is this to help the incumbent of
the proposed office? Could the money
not be put to better uses in these times
of fiancial rigors? Then. too, the alb
Surdity to ask man to fill a place Tor
is it a want?) in a federation of wom-
ems clubs What an anomaly = Is
there no woman who could be chosen to
fill such a position if such is foisted
upon the federation?
| am unable to ascertain if any other
state has a poet laureate. At least the
federal government has none, and if it
can totter along without one to exploit
its doings in rhyme, why can not Yer
mont, or to be more explicit, the state
Federation of Women'S Clubs?
There is no animus directed against
the one whose name has been suggested
FOR the Office of poet laureate, as the
writer respects him as an instructor,
poet and a man.

TO THE SUBSCRIBERS

It is the aim of the management to assure
efficient service in the delivery of the paper
each night, and it solicits the cooperation of
subscribers to that end. Prompt reports should
be given of each failure to receive the paper
on the morning following the omission, in
person, by telephone or postal card, thus en-
abling the cause of the error to be promptly
and accurately discovered and the proper rem
edy. Immediately applied. 1t is only by this
method that the publisher can secure the de-
sired service.
