nomination. For, if Gov. Stewart had
made it known in season that he would
be a candidate for q second term, Mr..
Billings of course would not have been
a candidate, and his reelection would
have defeated the bad precedent, bad
especially as it bears upon the compo-
sition of the General Assembly, of a
single term. Mr.. Billings gave no per-
sonaI attention to his canvass. He
was out of the state most of the time
during its progress, and came up from
New York at the last moment to accept
the nomination which he was assured
awaited him at the Montpelier conveD-
ton. But to his great surprise he was
called upon to make at that cOnven-
ton, an entirely different speech from
the one which he was expecting to
make. His conduct then was not only
beyond precedent but beyond the ca
pacity probably of any other man in
Vermont. He was called upon to go
upon the stage and make speech, and
he at once responded to the call, and
as defeated candidate made speech
which electrified and captivated that
entire convention, and produced an i'm
preston which abides with all who
heard it to this day. If that speech
had preceded the ballot, Mr.. Billings
nomination would have been made ir-
resistible. AS it was, the convention,
at once, and, as soon as the effect of
that speech was disseminated abroad,
the state at large, very deeply regret
ted his defeat.
The fact that Vermont leads the van
in next years elections, when it is so
that the republican candi-
date for governor should receive the
full vote, will have great influence in
the choice of candidate.
1t will not do to put at the head of the
ticket a man who cannot bring out the
full vote of the party. Journalist Pet

termined they ,viH haze it. The Indian
endeavOrs to assert and maintain his
rights, kills a few whites, burns few
cabins, and steals all he can. Then
comes the soldier, and an "Indian War;"
sealed with blood, murder, and the
waste of untold treasure. OF course the
"ward" gets beaten in the long run, and
the white man is glad, because he gets
Just ,chdt he planned to get!
In making treaties with the Indians,
or agreements, the government assigns
to them certain territory, or ''reserva-
tions," for their exclusive benefit. But
now for several years government has
been trOtting these awards" back and
forth, from this reservation to that, I'M
til they have become disheartened at
the situation,- white squatter takes
advantage of it, and so the trouble
goes on.
We don't pretend to know just what
the exact policy should be in this mat
ter. But one thing looks perfectly
clear, and that is, the government ought
to have a more stable and sensible In
dian policy than it has yet had. When
it says to the Indian he shall have and
possess for his own, certain territory,
let the government stick to its bargain,
and protect and maintain those rights
for the Indian, the same as it would for
the white. We believe to day, that
the Indian would respect the wishes of
government, if the white could be made
to mind his own business, and to let
him alone. This talk of "exteI NINA
ton" that some people indulge in so
freely, is as shallow as it is barbarOus.
We have no more right to exterminate
an Indian than we have a negro, or the
unfortunate paupers we have in our
midst. l would not be unjust, but it
does sometimes seem that many whites
were not much more civilized than the
Indian. We have whites to-day who
would make "turkey shoot" of our
them up at ten cents
a head, in order to pay for the powder,
and to get rid of taxation.
Now, if by our superior advantages
as a people in cultivatiOn,-having in
telligence, refinement, wisdom, and
Christianity, let us show our superiority
to the savages. If the savages kill, let
us try and save life. If they burn and
pillage, let us set better example. IfI
they are treacherOus and unreliable, let
not the white do the same.
The British government in Canada
has not had one tenth part of the trou-
BILE with the Indians residing there,
that we have had with ours. The policy
of good old William Penn was worth
more than all of the soldiers and gen.
erals we have in the field to-day. That
policy lasted undisturbed for a great
many years. LOSING, the historian,
has said, "not drop of Quaker blood
was ever shed by an Indian" The
righteousness of the white is what |
makes all the trouble, and just so long
as this cause is allowed to exist, just so
long shall we have this trouble to con-
tend with. F. V. POWERS.

Our Indian Policy.

Mr.. Editor There is much said in
these days about the wards of the ma
tiOn"-as much as to say that they
never had any rights of their own, but
had somehow fallen upon our charity
without any business. We believe the
whites will have an account to settle in
the future, that they will be both sorry
and ashamed of. We believe our peo-
pie have not used very good sense in
regard to this question. We have acted
as though the Indian was already civil
lied, and as amenable to the general
law as the white. This is not true, nor
is 1t likely to prove so for some time to
come. 1t don't help us any to say the
Indian is savage" and must be sex
terminated" as the best and quickest
way to settle this question. Why moi
use the same argument in regard tc
other weak and uncivilized peoples
And after this, continue the same policy
and let the stronger civilized power eat
up the weaker one?
Now, when the truth is told, the
Indian behaves full as well for what ht
knows and is responsible for, as the
white man does. That weaker powers
according to a law of nature, must in
evitably give way to the stronger il
process of time, is undoubtedly true
But we don't believe this process con
sists in premeditated destruction. Th,
Indian to-day is only doing for his owl
preservation, what the white man woul,
do for his. He is obeying the same in
stinctive law the white obeys. He i
said to be treacherous. Cannot tn
same be said of the white also?
In these days he borrows some of hi
policy from the whites. He knows a
well as we do, which is the stronee
power, and he is doing his best to hea
1t off. We believe our government ba
been too temporizing in its policy. TIL
Indian isn't SO big fool as not to hav
noticed this. If the papers are correc

Vermont's Next Governor.

Politicians and correspondents are
throwing out feelers on the Governor
questionable discussion being largely
carried on in papers outside the state.
We copy elsewhere a few paragraphs
from late articles, and might add to
them, were it necessary. We have yet
seen no reason to change the opinion
expressed in these columns long ago,
that Frederick Billings is the best man
to head the republican ticket next year.
And we think this belief is growing
with the people.

The Maine Conspiracy.

The usurpation in Maine progresses,
and the Governor and Council deny
access to the returns of the election of
senators and representatives, and the
republican senators and representa-
tives will now resort to judicial pro-
ceedings. Unless the supreme court
gives redress the republicans will be
counted out" This conspiracy only
helps to unity the Republican party and
make national triumph next year
more certain.

The Last Hanging.

Asa MagoOn was executed at Wind
sor last Friday, on the same gallOws
as Phair, Gravelin, and others. He
was convicted of numbering the old
man Streeter, his brother-in-law, in a
drunken row at Orange, Washington
County. There seemed to be no ques-
ton of his guilt, but the wretched man
died protesting his innocence upon the
scaffold, and charging the crime upon
Mrs. Perrin. His neck was broken by
the fall, and he died comparatively
easy. He had borne a bad name for
many years.

WASHINGTON COUNTY.
Jerry SlaytOn, an aged man OF East
Calais, was heard to say that he never
ate a meal of victuals at public house
in his life, or rode on stage coach or
on the cars, and never went out of the
state, or hardly out of the county (;
never went to Montpelier to trade with
out bringing home more money than he
carried with him. He is farmer and
among the wealthiest in town.
WINDSOR COUNTY.
Lyman Lovejoy, respected citizen
of Weston was killed the other day. He
was riding on log raised upon a cart
axle when the oxen began to run and
he jumped, the wheel striking and
knocking him down, and passing over
one ankle. He got up and walked a
quarter of mile to house, from which
he was carried to his home. a distance
of about mile and d half. When
questioned he said he was not much
hurt. He lived about two hours after
the accident.
That better times are at hand is evil
dent by the presence of so many specu-
lators. Cattle, sheep, poultry, butter,
and all farmers produce is in good
demand, with remunerative prices. The
lumber trade is brisk, and all the young
men find work at home with fair prices.

TREATMENT OF THE HAIR.

How to preserve the hair is a subject
which seems to interest almost everybody.
if we may judge from the frequent inqui-
ries upon the subject. One wishes to know
what will prevent badness. another how to
preserve their hair from turning gray, an
other how to eradicate dandruff, etc. Now,
it is a delicate matter to recommend any
special treatment, but Professor Wilson, of
England, who is deemed high authority on
the hair, condemns washing it, and advises
instead, thorough brushing. This pro-
notes circulation, remove scurf, and is in
all respects, he says, better than water.
Cutting the hair does not, as commonly
thought. promote its growth. Most of the
specifics recommended for badness, not ex-
cepting petroleum, are mere stimnlants,
and are seldom or never permanently sue
cessful. Some OF them give rise to conges-
ton of the scalp. When a stimulant is de-
sirable, ammonia is the best. 1t is safe.
For falling out Of the HAIR, DR.. Wilson
prescribes a lotion composed of water OF
ammonia, almond Oil and chloroform, one
part each, diluted with five parts alcohol,
Or spirits of rosemary, the whole made fra
grant with a drachm of oil of lemon. Dab
it on fhe skin after thorough friction with
the brush. 1t may be used sparingly or
%abundantly, daily or otherwise.
For a cooling lotion, one made of two
drachms of borax and glycerine to eight
ounces of distilled water is effective, allay-
ing dryness, subduing irritabllity, and re-
moving dandruff.
Both badness and grayness depend on
defective powers Of the scalp skin, and are
to be treated alike. What is needed is mod-
crate stimulation, without any irritation.
The following is good: Rub into the bare
places daily, or even twice a day, a lini-
ment of eamphor, ammonia, clloroform
and %aconite, equal parts each. The friction
should be very gentle.

CRUDE PETROLEUM A REMEDY FOB
CONSUMPTION.

Dr. M. nj. Griffith, or Bradford, Pa, re-
ports some astonishing results obtained by
the administration of crnde petroleum to
con%sumptives. lie claims that out of TWEEN
tytive eases OF we'll marked tuberculosis so
treated twenty are to all means of diagno-
sis cured; the rest have been materially
benefited and none have been under taeat-
ment m ore than four months. The nausea
attending the use OF ordinary crude petro
leum led him to adopt the semi-solid oil
that forms on the casing and tubing Of
wells. This, made into three to five grain
pills by incorporating any inert vegetable
powder, was administered from three to
five times a day in one pill doses, The first
effect, he says, is the disappearance of the
cough !; night sWeats are relieved, appetite
improves, and weight is rapidly gained.
1t is to be hoped that DR.. Griffith has not
mistaken some self-limiting phase of throat
or bronchial disorder for true consumption
OF the lungs; also that continued trial OF
the alleged remedy will justify the high
opinion he has foamed in regard to its ell
cacy.
IHE first stone Of the Cologne Cathedral
was laid August 10, 1913, and it is ~thoughtit

overs have reached their last stage, and
have only to be fitted with their massive

great scaifolaings have to be erected at
a dizzy height; one of them, however, al
really approaches completion. When the
caps have been finished then "a still HIGHER
story will have to be added to the scaffold-
ing, in order to fix on the tops of the caps
the gigantic foliated crosses, almost thirty
feet high, which are to crows the towers.
THIS operation will, it is expected, be per-
formed next spring.
