Temperance I'm vormont-lt Does
Not Meet tho Approval of the Peo-
pie and How the Matter Looks

Editor Press The people Of Vermont
commenced agitating the temperance ques-
ton about the year 1923. Pledges were
circulated prohibiting the use of distilled
liquor as beverage. Wines, ale, beer,
cider, &c., could be used About 1886 the
pledge prohibiting everything that could
intoxicate was drawn up. Up to this time
nearly all the country stores sold liquor ms
they did sugar, but soon public opinion
caused liquor to be removed from the stores
The Mashingtonian temperance society,
which originated in Baltimore, began to ex-
ert an influence amongst the green hills of
Vermont that wrought great work. In
imitation Of the parent society, temper
ance man of Vermont did he see man in
toxicated in the street he would 20 and get
him into the house; were his clothes wet
and dirty he had clean dry ones; was he
hungry he was fed. lie was kindly cared
for and made to feel that the temperance
people we're his friends; that they we're
willing to take hun wet, dirty and hungry
from the gutter and care for him, and in this
way pract cling the law of kindness the poor
drunkard was encouraged Was he with
out home and work both were given him.
and soon this man was doing the same thing
to some old companion, and in this way the
temperance men of Vermont were increased
until temperance became q power in the
state and our prohibitory law was passed.
But now if man is caught tight in the
street he goes to Jail and is incarcerated
with felons. Altar paying fine of about
$50 he is allowed to go his way, cursing the
temperance law, Vermont laws and officers,
and VOWS in his own breast to break each
and every Vermont law he chooses, until.
at the present day, majority of the voters
of Vermont are opposed to to the law and
would so vote did tn, question come up.
Maine law or not, it fails to do its work.
1t is not benefit to the temperance cause
OF Vermont, because it has sent all the
workers IN moral suasion into n Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep, and a sort of fanatcs-vis-
ionists-have had charge of the thing so
long, using legal suasion upon mans ap-
petite, that the law has become dead let
ter, and every effort to enforce it has been
complete failure, and Verment's old or
iginal temperance men are crying for its
repeal. The experience Vermont has had
with this law should be enough for other
States. Would you stop the indiscrminate
sale of liquor do not pass Maine law, but
make the seller and him alone respo sible
for the evil he does, and then you will have
commenced to stop the sale of liquor. You
might as well control mans mind as ap-
petite by statute, and when you put law
upon your state book that is imperative,
you teach man to look in contempt upon all
law and he becomes careless of a strict
obedience to law, and, as he disregards one
law with impunity. he is induced to dsre-
gard all law, and that is what makes crime
in our land on the increase, and an acquit
tai for crime oftener than conviction.

suffering from the effects OF facilitating dis

activity of the syston, we must resort TO ar
titicial means. For this purpose Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual. a few
doses will create an appetite and give fresh
vigOr to the enervated body For dyspepsia
it is invaluable. Many eminent physicians
have doubted whether dyspepsia can be per-
manently cured by the drugs which are
generally employed Tor that purpose. The
sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally diff
ferent from such drugs. 1t contains no
corrosive minerals or acids; in fact it assists
the regular opera. ions OF nature, and sup
plies her deficiencies. The tonic i'll its
nature so much resembles the gastric juice
that il is almost identical with that fluid
The gastric juice is the natural solvent
which, in a healthy condition OF the body,
causes the food to be digeSted; and when
this Juice is not excreted in sufficient guam
titles indigestion, with all its distressing
symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonic
performs the duty of the gastric juice when
the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed

Through 81. Louis 40 the Far

St. Louis is attracting general attention as
being the shortest and most desirable way to
reach the far West. This great metropolis of
over $50 900 inhabitants, located in the Valley
of the Mississippi, at the mouth of the Mis-
souri, river, watering upwards of 5000 miles
of country, lays invitingly in the shortest pos
sible route between the East and great West,
formed by the st. Louis, Kdnsas City and North
ern Short Line, and connections This line reaches
all the great land grants of the West, and runs
two more trains between the Mississippi and
Missouri Rivers than any other road. The
enormous expenditure of over two million dol
lars, besides earnings, on roadway, in relay
ing new steel and iron rails, on broad new
ties, and in new equipment, supplied with all
modern improvements to contribute TO COM
fort, speed and safety, has made it, in all re-
spects, the best road in the country. great

To exhaust still further the vitality OF an
already feeble invalid with sharp evacuants
and other strength destroying medicines.
No case of dyspepsia, liver complaint, cor
stipation. nervous weakness or periodic fever
was ever cured in that way. What the de-
bilitated sufferer needs is a remedy in which
the properties of an invigorant, a stimulant,
a mild aperient, a sedative, and blood de-
purient are combined, and H0stetter's StOm-
ach Bitters is the only preparation before
the world in which these essential sanitary
elements are united in the proportions nee
essary to overcome disease without prOstra-
ting tile patient. This agreeable and potent
vegetable elixir is in the truest sense of the
word a restorative, for it restores the strength
of the body, re-establishes functional regu-
larity, enriches the degenerated blood, and
clears the clOuded brain.

ATTEMPTED INCENDIARIsM.- last
Wednesday night dastardly attempt was
made by some person unknown to destroy
the st James Hotel i'm South jackson, the
property of Mr.. john j. Rohrbacher. The
fire was fortunately discovered by Nv.
James Williams who resides next door and
was extinguished without giving general
alarm The building is two story one,
very near other frame buildings, and had
the fire gotten under Roadway, several
families might have been burned out. Be-
sides the property, which is valuable, several
hundred dollars worth of school furniture
aud other fixtures belonging to the city,
the building having been used last year for
the colored public school, would have been
destroyed.
Mr. Rohrbacher offers a reward, for the
arrest and conviction of the guilty parties,

Flowers played no unimportant part
in the public and private life of the
Greeks and Romans At weddings and
funerals, at their feasts and festivals,
upon state occasions, in their divinations
and lamentations, and in the worship of
the gods, flowers were used with a law
ish hand. At marriage the bride and
her attendants were crowned with gar
lands The dead were decorated with
flowers, and flowers were placed upon the
tomb. All are familiar with the story
of the Greek lover who placed upon the
grave of his mistress basket of acanthus
flowers, the leaves Of which, being pressed
down by tile, grew gracefully over the
sides of the basket, and gave rise to the
first idea Of the ornate Corinthian capital.
1t was customary for the guests at feasts
to appear with crowns of flowers upon
their heads flowers decked the walls and
tables, and were profusely strewn over
the floors Of apartments. Victors in the
Olympic and other games were crowned
with chaplets of flowers. No religious
ceremony was complete without them,
while each god had his appropriate anral
emblem. for July.
