NATIONAL PROHIBITION
National prohibition is coming. How
soon it becomes a realization is a
matter of how ardent and persistent
are the people who desire it. There
is little doubt about the desire. The
great bulk of the people of the United
States are opposed to the consumption
of alcoholic drinks as a beverage,
almost everyone admits the harm of
it, and still many are afraid to grapple
with the entrenched forces of the
traffic.
Ask all persons of 16 years or over in
this nation this question, "Do you
believe the use of alcoholic liquor as a
beverage is a benefit to humanity?"
and wbat would the answers be? The
Monitor ventures the statement that
not more than one person in 100 will
honestly answer,
disappointment that the meeting would
not go on record favoring an informal
direct primary for the county, but the
course taken of awaiting the action of
the state committee may be the
wisest, and it may be that the county
committee will then formulate a direct
primary plan for immediate use. The
Monitor emphatically hopes it will. It
would be presumption on the part of
the county committee or any small
gathering of Republicans'to do other
wise when only 311 voters in the county
voted against it in March and 1362
voted for such a method of selecting
candidates.
"The
state
'I do," to the
specific question asked above. To be
sure there would be more than the
above proportion who would answer
yes to the question, "Do you believe
the system of licensing saloons- to
dispense liquors the best way to handle
the liquor traffic?"
Many people appear to think that
the liquor traffic is a fundamental and
necessary thing. It is not. The desire
and appetite for alcoholic beverages is
entirely artificial. The Creator did
not make man with an appetite for
this thing as He did the desire for
other things that make our social prob
lem difficult of solution.
If then, the use of alcoholic drinks
as a beverage is not a primary necessity
and the people believe it to be harmful,
and the saloon has been established
only as a means of regulating the busi
ness, let us wipe the legalizing of the
whole thing off the face of our nation.
Alcoholic drinks are admitted by
total abstainers, moderate drinkers
and heavy drinkers alike, to be harmful
when consumed as a beverage. Why
then legalize the manufacture and sale
of it as a beverage? I
The principle of legalizing a thing
that is admitted by the people to be
harmful to themselves is not a right
and iust nrincinle. is not intended to
be sanctioned by the constitution and
should not be allowed by the people.
This very question of national prohi
bition is at this very moment before
Congress in the Hobson bill for nation
al prohibition. Where will Vermont
stand on this vital question? Where
will our representatives and senators
stand? Every Vermonter must be
vitally interested and should watch the
stand they take with jealous care.
The Monitor appeals to every person
coming within the path of these
words, who has an ounce of conviction
and a grain of gumption, to write his
or her congressman, Plumley or
Greene and Senators Dillingham and
Page, all now in Washington, or better,
to wire your earnest desire for his sup
port of this national prohibition bill.
The vote comes in a few days, not
later than July 6th or 7th, and IM
M EDIATE action must be taken.
The people can have what they want
if they go after it. The people want
national prohibition. Will they go
after it?
Finally. Can any one of Vermont's
congressional delegation vote against
this bill and still represent his constit
uents? We think not. Both congres
sional districts as a whole voted
against the licensing of saloons at the
last opportunity given, and no better
or more recent test of their constitu
ents stand on this question can be
found.
The Advance sidestepped as usual
when asked for specific things. Re
plying to the Monitor when it asked
the Advance to name the papers print
ing or omitting Gov. Fletcher's re
marks regarding Republicanism in
Vermont, that paper says:
answer is in the files of the
papers." It also says:
"The Monitor itself prints it at the
bottom of a column with a single head
line in its smallest type." The trouble
with the Advance is it has no concep
tion of consistency. The Monitor gave
the item no more or less prominence
in position or heading than it gives
other items of this nature. This the
Advance well know. The Advance on
the other hand threw it up with a
scare head on its first page, giving a
yellow taste to the item and jingoing
the statement to the best of its ability,
finding nothing else in the state so
important to present its readers. Does
the Advance expect the newspapers of
Vermont to go out of their way,
change their make-up, custom and
type faces in order to give some
remark of the governor, while in
another state, the first and most
important place in its columns? Con
sistency! Will the Advance tell us
now why it does not, while going out
side the state, after many columns of
Progressive matter, print a few lines
about the Pinchot-Perkins-Roosevelt
troubles? Judged from the standpoint
of newspaper men of experience the
Advance is the most inconsistent paper
extant in the state.

Rutland Woods Burn Fiercely.
Until subdued by the rains of the
first of the week the largest forest fire
in Rutland county in many years was
in progress in the mountains near East
Danby. The state forestry depart
meut had been appealed to. It is
believed to have been started by the
lightning Wednesday night in the wilds
of Mount Tabor. Ten square miles
have been burned over. The loss is
already several thousand dollars'
damage to pulpwood. About 400 men
were fighting the flames. The lumber
company and the marble mills were
shut down in order to send the men to
the woods.
Comings Gets Burlington Collectorship.
Herbert C. Comings of Richford is
notified that his nomination as collector
of customs for the western district of i
Vermont, with headquarters at Bur-
ington, has been sent to the United
States senate by President Wilson for
confirmation. This appointment brings
to an end the long and hard-fought
contest in the Democratic party of
Vermont as to who should succeed the
Hon. Chas. H. Darling, Republican, of j
Burlington, who, in consequence of the
fact that the matter has been unde
cided, is still holding over in office ;
some six months after the expiration
of his natural term. Mayor James E.
Burke of Burlington has been a stren
uous bidder tor the collectorship,
opposing the faction of his party led
by national committeeman, Thomas H.
Browne of Rutland, who, occupying
the position he does, should naturally
be supposed to have strong influence
in the distribution of patronage.
Cooper Declines.
A. J. Cooper, president of the
Cooper Manufacturing company of Ben
nington, has sent the following letter
to Dr. H. Nelson Jackson, chairman
of the Progressive state committee:
Dr. H. Kelson Jackson.
Burlington, Vt.
My dear sir :
After considering very carefully
business and family interests. I feel
that it is not wise for me to accent
the nomination for governor on the
Progressive ticket. With all due appre
ciation of the high honor and marked
esteem of your committee. I am sure
that my refusal to accept to be for the
best good and welfare of all concerned.
If I can act in any other capacity or
position to help the Progressive move
ment, I shall only be too glad to do
all that I possibly can. Hoping that
this decision will meet with your kind
consideration, I remain,
Yours sincerely,
A. J. Cooper.

The Tariff's Effect.
It is coming againinto notice, and is
bound to keep coming, that the new
tariff is working well for foreign man
ufacturers. In May 1913, our free im
ports were. $69,000,000 and in May,
1914, these were $102,500,000, in round
numbers an increase of $33,500,000.
Meanwhile domestic exports decreased
by $33.649,030. Brattleboro Phoenix.
Simple Graduation Gowns.
The commencement exercises at the
Lyndon Institute last week furnished
an example of neatness, simplicity
and economy that might well be heed
ed by other institutions of learning in
the state, especially high schools. The
graduating dresses cost the young la
dies less than $1.50 each. In one in
stance the gown cost $1.06. At the
graduating exercises the presidents of
Harvard and Dartmouth colleges were
present. The diplomas were presented
by Hon. Theodore N. Vail. Waterbury

Reciprocity.
Not long ago two citizens of Essex
county, this state, were fined approxi
mately $400 for illegal trout catching!
in New Hampshire, and a citizen of
Lyndonville had to pay $300 in that
state for a similar offense. The fish
and game wardens of Vermont have
had opportunity this week to fully
reciprocate. Two residents of Grove
town, N. H., have just paid in muni
cipal court at Island Pond $453 for
having in their possession 1S1 under
sized trout. As far as is recorded,
this is the largest penalty imposed in
any such case in this state. It cer
tainly should be an effective deterrent
to any one else who imagines that he
can disregard the fishing laws of Ver
mont. Rutland News.
Vermonter Honored.
T. J. Boynton,. late of Westfield and
Johnson, is one of the Vermonters who
have moved from the state and
achieved greatness. Taking up his
residence in Hiverett, Mass., he was
elected mayor of the city and served
for several terms and at the recent
election he was elected, on the Demo
cratic ticket, Attorney General of
Massachusetts Now the Democratic
state committee has sent on to Wash
ington an indorsement of Mr. Boynton
for the position of assistant secretary
of the treasury, the place to be vacated
when Charles S. Hamlin goes to the
Federal reserve board. The Worcester
Post speaks approvingly of the candi
dacy as follows: "This would be a
deserved honor for Mr. Boynton, who
is understood to have been an aspirant
when Hamlin was appointed. The
only objection is in this present post of
attorney v general for Massachusetts."

, 'Insurance Rates."
The fire insurance business of New
England, so far as the very important
rate matter is concerned, is in the
hands of a trust whose power is ab
solute. It can make such rates as it
pleases, on whatever grounds it
pleases, and the insured must stand it
whether he pleases or not. The rates
are in the hands of an exchange, which
is a pool arrangement serving all the
companies. There is absolutely no
competition as to rates and when the
New England Insurance Exchange
fixes them they stand as the rates of
all the companies. If the property
holder does not like them he has no
recourse but to give up insurance
protection, and many holders will
submit to wbat they deem rank
gouging before they will go without
insurance, while other holders who are
mortgaged or otherwise involved are
compelled to insure at whatever cost.
One can easily see the possibilities of
oppression here. That it is not more
pronounced is rather to the credit of
the Exchange, which generally uses
good judgment and discretion in
fixing the rates. But there are
instances that appear otherwise, with
no appeal open except to the somewhat
hardened sense of mercy of a bunch of
men who are following set rules. Here
is an illustration: Under what is
called a term policy, certain kinds of
property may be insured for three or
five years at quite a saving over the
annual policy plan. Real estate used
solely for a printing office is excluded
from this advantage. A building -in
Bethel occupied jointly by a printing
office, a business office and a tenement
can be carried under the term policy.
A building in Randolph of almost the
same description devoted wholly to a
newspaper plant cannot. If a corner
in one room snouia oe rented tor a
desk office, it would remove the ban.
An appeal to the Exchange produces
no results. It is a rule and cannot be
departed from. Another example :
The Exchange orders electric wiring to
be done in certain ways and it is done
at the owner s. expense. Later the
Exchange finds some safer way and it
orders the change to be made also at
the owner s expense announcing that
increased rates will apply if it is not
done ; instead of offering a reduced
rate for the lessened hazard to com
pensate for the extra cost put upon
the owner. Fire insurance companies
like to have property owners install
hand chemical extinguishers, but they
make no concession in their rates if it
is done. Considering the practical
necessity of fire insurance and be
lieving that rates should be fair, just
and reasonable, and that it is not
enough to depend on the mercy or
business judgment of . an unrestrained
trust to deal rightly with the question,
we ask why insurance rates and
methods are not open to the same kind
of regulation by independent, impartial
authority that railroad, telephone,
electric and other charges of public
corporations are? Randolph
The Non-partisan Prou'y club of
Orleans gave out the f llowing letter
from Hon. C. A. Prouty Monday:
Washington, June 4.
Non-Partisan Prouty Club,
Orleans, Vt.
Gentlemen: I am in receipt of a
letter from you stating that reports
are being1 circulated in the press and
by, individuals that I have declared in
writ'n? and personally that I did not
desire the position of United States
senator, that I did not welcome sun
port to that end and would not serve
if elected. You ask me if these state
ments are true. They are not. The
only political office within the gift of
the people of my native state which I
have ever desired is that of United
States senator, and personally an elec
tion would be most gratifying. I
deeply appreciate the efforts of your
members and my other friends in my
behalf, all the more because they have
not been solicited. If chosen I should
be glad to serve to the best of my
ability. But I simply feel that I can
not, at the present time, undertake an
active campaign and that I ought not
therefore to solicit the votes of my
fellow citizens. That is what I at
tempted to say from the first but my
meaning seems to have been misunder
stood in certain quarters. In view of
what you have done and of the situa
tion which has developed it is perhaps
due you and my other friends in Ver
mont that I should state somewhat
more fully my position on this subject.
For personal reasons I dislike to oppose
Senator Dillingham, but there are
certain facts which cannot be ignored.
Throughout his senatorial career
Mr. Dillingham has consistently ard
persistently, and without doubt honest
ly, since his sympathies all lie in that
direction, acted with that coterie of
senators who have been known as the
champions of special interests. These
men were the bodyguard of Senator
Aldrich when he was the leader of
the United States senate, and they
were generally against all propositions
for reform, which were supposed to
unfavorably affect the interests which
they stood to protect. The measures
of railroad regulation, for example,
which I have advocated and about
which I specially know, were bitterly
opposed by all these men, until further
opposition would have been political
suicide. These measures were not
radical. Now that they are the law,
railroad men themselves concede their
necessity. If submitted to the voters

es
of Vermont today they would be ap
oroved by nine-tenths. It is signifi
cant that the one-tenth which would
not approve" them are solidly behind
Mr. Dillingham. Some of them were
for me in 1900 but they are all against
me today. If Mr. Dillingham were a
solitary instance, it might be well-
enough to overlook it, but there is an
apparent disposition in many quarters
to continue in authority and een to
reinstate these men whom the country
has so rrsphaticaly repudiated. Just
how the Republican party C3n expect
at this juncture to regain and retain
the confidence of this country if such
men are to be put forward as its lead
ers passes my comprehension.
As well put forward Lorimer him
self. Nor can I quite see how the
state of Vermont can hope to keep the
prestige it has so long enjoyed in the
senate if it send the men who, what
ever their ability or personal attrac
tiveness, are utterly out of sympathy
with the spirit of the age. At any
rate a party, so administered can be of
no service to those who believe as I do.
The very limited knowledge which I
have of the political situation in Ver
mont leads me to believe that the
defeat of Mr. Dillingham can only be
accomplished by an independent move
ment to which the liberal and progres
sive elements of all parties must con
tribute. The elimination of the Pro
gressive party from the Republican
party of Vermont leaves the reaction
ary element in hopeless control of the
latter party. While there are very
many who feel as I do, it would be
folly to undertake a contest in that
party. It is only by bringing together
the liberals of all parties that any
thing can be done. If there is today
room for such a movement in Vermont,
if your organization is adequate for that
purpose and if you can use a candidate
who can do so little for himself, I
would be glad to continue to stand as
such candidate. You assumed the
entire responsibility of putting forward
my name in the first instance and you
must assume the responsibility of say
ing whether it shall remain there.
Very truly yours,
C. A. Prouty.
Prouty club officials stated that they
"were glad to repeat former assurances
that C. A. Prouty's name would
appear on the ballot as a non-partisan
candidate for United States senator."
It is said the non-partisan campaign
will be largely a task of acquainting
the voters with the records of senato
rial candidates.

Vermont Notes.
A lookout tower, 65 feet high, on
on the summit of Stratton mountain,
one of the highest peaks in southern
Vermont, was dedicated June 25 under
the auspices of the Stratton mountain
club by which it was erected. The
tower stands near the point where
Daniel Webster addressed a concourse
of people in the campaign of 1840.
From the tower can be seen one of the
grandest panoramas of New England.
While workmen were engaged in
repairing a road in Richford a few
days ago, they found a skeleton
buried, apparently, head first, as the
bones of the feet were the first dis
covered, sticking up through the
gravel in a gravel pit. Remains of
decayed clothing were found nearby,
but there was nothing to lead to the
identification of the person buried.
The Canadian authorities will investi
gate. Maintaining that they are being oper
ated at a loss, and that the matter is
not really vital, several Vermont rail
roads through counsel have appeared
before the Vermont Public service com
mission and asked that they be excused
this year from eliminating any grade
crossings on their lines. .Under the
statutes each Vermont railroad is ex
pected to eliminate at least one grade
crossing each year, and some are re
quired to abolish more. It is within
the province of the Public Service com
mission to excuse the roads from the
duty, if the commission sees fit.

Some are so poor they can't afford to feed their children noodles, and yet
they'll keep a mangy horde of spaniels, hounds and poodles. When I make
out my catalogues of skates to poor for skinning the chap with forty thou
sand dogs goes down at the beginning.
Some chaps would rather work their jaws, ther fool opinions giving, than
buckle down with Cross-cut saws and earn a decent living; then when the
wind of winter jerks the frost through brick and mortar, they hang around
the man who works, and bone him for a quarter.
Old Bildad had a heap of rocks enough to run the nation and yet he's
building wooden walks all over his plantation. I called upon that weird old
gent, who thinks he's sane and clever, and said: "You ought to use cement,
and it would last forever. These wooden walks all folks will vex, and make
a wound that rankles, for men will fall and break their neck?, their back
bones and their ankles. The boards will rot, and, full of holes, will mangle
the unwary, and women then will taint their souls by using language 8weary.,
But Bildad grins and blinks his eyes, he's full of fool emotions; "I haven't
got no use," he cries, "for durned new-fangled notions!"
Of chumps, alas, there is no dearth this truth has oft been tested; and if
we push them off the earth we're sure to be arrested.
