Messenger BOYS Compete for a Prize

Messenger Boys Compete for a Prize
When the messenger boys department
of the ". c. I. q. offered a gold dollar
for the best design for club button or
badge, to be adopted by the Messenger
Boys Club, it aroused so much interest
that seven boys entered as competitors,
as follows:
John Hunter and Harry schultze, OF
the Mutual; Arthur Smith, Samuel Tur-
Harry Suit, of the Special, and one other
whose name could rot be obtained.
The ballot on last Friday evening re-
suited in the choice of design represent
ing a simple Maltese cross, with the
letters M. b. c." interviewer as a mon
ogram in the center, and the motto of the
club, Dare to do Iight,' ON the four
sections of the cross. 1t will be euameled
on a white button the exact size of q
nickel.
James a Griffith, of the Postal Tel.
egraph Company, was the happy winner
of the prize, which was presented by Mr..
F. NJ. Bradley, with some well-ch osen
words, and received with neat little
speech of thanks.
The design entered by Harry Suit, of the
Special Delivery, was quite unique, and
as 1T received only one vote less than the
other one it was decided TO present Harry
with a Columbian half dollar as a second
prize.
Humorous recitations by Mr. Buell. and
Miss Gray, with music, games and refresh
ments, filled up the hours of happy
evening, for the boys are a jolly set
and know how to have good time.

Milk,

The business OF the country is
settling into its former groove. Our
gentlemanly driver has returned
from his vacation, the COWS in the
pasture switch flies instead OF bull
let's with their tails and the cream is
richer in consequence. We believe
we have satisfied every one OF our
customers who have taken milk from
us and we are in position to sup
ply great many more. The people
who from choice or necessity visited
Waialae during the past two weeks
have had an opportunity to see just
what sort OF diet our stock feeds
upon, and no longer wonder at the
richness of the milk from our dairy.
Our facilities for delivery are the
best. With the exception OF a day
or two early in the late unpleasant
ness our drivers have always been
on time at our customers residences.
We take this opportunity to thank
those who have been patient with us
and to solicit continuance OF their
patronage. We will be pleased to
fill all orders telephoned to us and
guarantee all milk to be pure and
free from adulteration.

Governor WoOdbury's recent pardon
of Mccarthy, a notorious and persistent
liquor seller of Burlington, has met with
considerable adverse criticism from
portion of the press of the State, who be-
lieve that violation of The liquor laws
should receive no more consideration
than a violation of the other laws. Gov
ernor Woodbury. has given an interesting
statement of the reasons controlling his
action:
McCarty paid the fine and 1 granted
him conditional discharge upon his sign
ing the following agreement: He shall
not hereafter keep for sale, either him
self or by an agent, or by any procure
ment of his, any Intoxicating liquor or
drink of any kind, nor shall he allow the
sale of Intoxicating beverages of any
kind on premises owned or controlled by
him. This conditional discharge is for
feited by breach of any of the above con-
ditions, and McCarty will serve his SEN
tence in the House of Correction if he
violates them. McCarty owns the build
ing in which he has been doing business,
and l believe it to be greatly in the in
terests of temperance that the sale of liq-
uors be stopped on his premises. 1t
may be that he is trying to deceive me
and the many friends of law and order
who signed his petition, but if so, he will
ultimately suffer for his deceit. l feel
sure that all the good temperance people
in this State would be glad to forgive
every person who is now illegally traffic
king liquor in this State a pardon for
past otfenses if they would quit the
traffic now. This is too much to expect,
of course.
The liquor laws of the State, unlike
the common criminal laws, are not by
any means unanimously upheld by pub
lie sentiment. This fact, rendering their
enforcement somewhat difficult, gives
strength to the Governors position that
if leniency rather than severity, in deal
ing with liquor offenders, will lessen the
liquor evil, it Is justifable.

Star a remarkable tribute to Vermonts
senior Senator. The facts contained in
it will not be new to our Vermont read.
ers; but they will be pleased to see them
so Interestingly grouped, and they viii
be proud to note the estimation in which
our Senator is justly held in the city
which is the greatest centre of statesmen
and distinguished public men on the
American continent. The Star is indie
pendent in politics. No party bias inlu-
enced its Judgment of Mr.. Morrill,, and
when it declares without qualification:
"There is no man in public life to-day
who is as free from the stain of Caumny
as Senator Morrill," and that "there has
never been even a suggestion of his har
boring other than the highest and most
patriotic motives in his public SERVICE"
it pays him the highest possible tribute.
The beauty of it all is, that no intelligent
person will take exception to such
praise, either in the little State he has
represented so long and so faithfully, or
IN the wider constituency of the country
at large. Mr.. Morrill, belongs not to Yer
mont alone, but to the United States,
and his name and fame will be cherished
when those of many of his contemporary
les have disappeared from the pages of
history.

At a banquet given by the Detroit
Chamber of Commerce last Friday,
Chancey NJ, Depew was one of the speak
ers. Referring to the Importance of
sound currency, he said:
There never should be any doubt as to
the currency of the people. Their cur
rency should be such that the world
would recognize it upon a common
standard. 1t is said that the debtor can
pay his debts more easily in deprecated
currency. There is an easier and quick
way, and that is not to pay them at ALL
The United States is debtOr-National,
municipal, railway and individual-to
the extent of about S14,00O,0OO, 900. We
have developed our marvellous resources
with this borrowed capital. OF this sum
one-third is held abroad. A well-defined
policy to pay Our debts at IS cents or 80
cents on the dollar would lead to 81 000,-
100000 or $3,0O0,0O0,0OO of securities
coming home here for us to take. The
presentation of them in our markets
would endanger the stability of every
bank, derange every exchange and para
lyze every industry in the United States.
The fiat of the Government cannot make
paper of value, nor silver of value, nor
copper OF value, nor SOlu OF value,
though it may compel any or all of them
to be taken in payment of debts within
the limits of the United States. There
can be but one standard of value, and
that is metal which will bring the same
price whether it is in the bar or has the
stamp of the Government upon it. If
promise of the Government to pay dol
lar is to be redeemed at the Treasury in
a coin which is worth 100 cents any
where in the United States and worth 100
cents anywhere in the world, then the
dollar which pays the laborer for his
work and the farmer for his wheat and
the merchant for his wares represents
the full value of the labor and the pro
duct for which it is paid. Anything less
as money ruins our trade with foreign
countries, robs the wage Garner and pro-
ducer and makes usa nation of specu-
| latOrS.

Senator William B. Allison of Iowa.
one of the prominent guests at the ban
