John Frost and Miss Etta Stebbins of Vernon were a delight to lovers of music, and were heartily encored, to which the ladies cheerfully responded.

This train was immediately followed by the regular freight which had the forward trucks of the engine leave the rails at the same spot, delaying over an hour. Swindling the State. the St. Albans This is the time when the selectmen of Vermont towns and the aldermen of Vermont cities are figuring backwards and forwards, upside down and wrong side out, cross ways and end ways, side ways and all ways, to see if they cannot doctor up the liquor the profit from going state agency accounts and prevent, any of treasury as required by law.

The law says that all over ten per cent. profit from the sales of liquor by city and town agencies shall be paid into the state treasury. The law is absurd. The people of the state of Vermont generally have no more right to 'share in the proceeds of sale of liquor in St. Albans than the merchants of Bellows Falls have to demand a percentage of the profit on merchandise sales in Brattleboro.

When the people of St. Albans lay out their own money to buy liquor, pay with their own money the salary of a man to sell it and rent, light and heat, and other incidental expenses of the agency, they have a right to the entire proceeds of the sale. If they must stand the loss, if there be one, SO they are entitled to receive the profit. The state does not agree to pay part of the loss, if there be one, but it does insist upon receiving all over 10 per cent. profit.

The utter failure of consideration in such a proposition as that is apparent to anybody and everybody, except, of course, to the little towns that do not have agencies themselves, but that, by means of this ridiculous law, share in the profits made by the large towns.
