There is a good deniand for saddle
horses. The reaction from the war
and tinng of autoraobiles is resu in

ance Ride with a very short prc
paration; won a blue ribbon at the

place. Mrs. Winslow paid a very
attractive price for this mare. The
U. S. Morgan Horse Farm also re

STONEREPLIES
TO FREE PRESS
Attack By Newspaper An
swered By States Attorney
in Letter
In a recent articlc appearing in the
Burlington Free Press containing al
leged instances of leniencv toward en-
forcement of the prohibitiou law on
the part of the officers of Addison
county, an attack is launchcd against
State's Attorney Gcorgc W. Stone of
Vergennes. The State's Attomev de-
fcnds his position in the following rc
ply to the Free Press:
Probably one of the purposes of
such articles as are appearing, uuder
glaring hcadliues in your newspaper
from time to time, is to arousc the pub
lic. Perhaps another purposc is to in
crease circulation, Both purposes are
laudable, when proper mcans are em
ployeel, and it is to bc hoped that your
elTorts may prove beneficial both to
the cause of temperancc and to vour
suoscription list. The unexplamed
failure of your representative to keep
an appointmcnt, which he requested,
for an intervicw Sunday aftemoon,
tnakcs me wonder, however, if the Free
Press is try.ing to present the real truth
to its readers or is simply indulging in
an orgy of sensationalism.
The articlc appearing m Monday s
lssue contains my name in the head
lines. Tlfe impression it seeks to creatc
is about as accurale as the construc-
ion, rccently corrected by I'resident
Moody, placcd by you upon remarka
madc by him regarding boozc condi-
ions at Middlebury Collcge. A public
officer must cxpect criticism. You
have doue quite a thorough job in my
ise. It would have been a little more
omplete if you had not taken the
pams to say: "It is not a matter of
nrruption. I thank you for that
rumb of comfort. It reduces the
probability of a libel suit.
Ihis letter will uudoulitedly be
relegated to an obscure position, if you
print it. Of course, the actual and
completc truth regarding the itcms
you mendon would make rather dtill
reading. Conditions in Addison
county are probably about the same as
cl'cwhcrc.
"If, as a prosecuting officer, I have
fallen short in my conception of duty,
I ani answerable to the public there
for. Due, possibly, to lack of prior
pnblication of my shortcomiugs, after
.crving two years, the present ineum
bent was the candidate of both polit
ical partics, uoininated and rccently re
elccted without apparcnt opposition of
any sort on the part of the voters of
ihc county. I have no political ambi-
tions for the futtire. While I hold my
present ofTtce, I shall continuc to seek
ito pcrform my duties in -ordance
