The Value
OF Good
Eye Sight.

Some things arerightin my
line, and the optical business
is one of them.
This department is one to
which | devote most of my
time, giving the greatest
amount of care and attention
to each individual case. Eyes
are tested in a scientific
manner.
The latest appliances are
used, which make the test
less trying to the patient,
and we guarantee absolutely
perfect results in every case.
The value of a correct and
comfortably fitting glass can
not be over estimatedin such
cases where the trouble is
directly due to imperfect
vision. Many see distant
OBJECTS we'll, yet are Con-
stantly troubled with per
haps headaches, "a burning
sensation in the eyes, or oC-
casional blurring of the print
when reading, yet are reluc-
tant to attribute it to an
actual defect of vision.
Being able to discern dis
tant objects, is by no means
a sure indication that your
eyes are normal.
Extreme far sight is as
great a defect as near sight,
and requires the same treat
ment.
Glasses are the only relief,
and these should be of the
right kind.
1t is ourbusiness to supply
you with only these.

Another View.

Rep. Richards said that that would
be straight if it were not for the incon-
yenience that might be created by the
changing OF the width of the streets
by the Government. They could
change from fifty-four TO sixty and
back again to ffty-four, if they so
choose, and where were the people con-
cerned? This wave, like motion, might
not be 50 lulling to persons feelings

The Margin Allowed.

Rep. Rycroft was in favor of allow
ing the section to stand as in the bill,
and made a motion to that effect.
There would be no harm in leaving the
matter in the hands of the Govern

the existing circumstances demanded
such action. Motion of Rep. Rycroft

What Are we Doing.

After several of the supplementary
items of appropriation had been pass
ed, Rep. Robertson arose and said that
he did not see how the House could
well vote on the various items of the
bill under consideration when it was
not known how matters were going to
come out in regard to salaries and pay
rolls.
Minister Damon answered that it
was in the province of the Minister of
Finance to outline a statement of the
ordinary settlements and receipts
from the proposed bills. After that
the matter was in the hands of the
Legislature to accept or adopt, to take
away from one place and add to an
other.
It was the sentiment of the House
that the reading of the bill should be
proceeded with, as it was only the first
reading. 1t would be we'll gone over
and shown to the public.

Give Us More Money.

When the item of $500 for roads and
bridges in the district of Eva was read
Rep. Halualani ran the index finger of
his left hand around the inside of his
collar, shrugged his shoulder, and sug-
gested that $500 be multiplied by 2.
The appropriation in the bill was not
enough to mend the roads and bridges
in the district of Eva. Torrents of wa
ter rushing from the mountains in the
vicinity often poured down boulders
which ripped up the road and destroyed
the bridges. Previous Legislatures had
been petitiOned, but deaf ear had al
ways been turned.
Rep. Richards said that if previous
Legislatures had persisted in turning
deaf ear to such a petition it was
very good sign that it did not merit
consideration.

Tears Flow.

There was pity in the eyes of the
representatives as they gaZed at the
man who wanted a sure footing provid-
ed for the people of EVA, and after Rep.
Richards had finished speaking, his re-
marks not being antagonistic to the
petition of Rep. Halualani, the House
voted that the sum of 81 900 be allowed.
A glistening tear of happiness on the
left of the House, and the reading con-
tinued.

Do Not Recall the Past.

Rep. Halualani-The member has no
right to get up here and call up the
doings of previous Legislatures.
Rep. Richards claim the floor
Mr.. Speaker! l simply sat down to
give the gentleman a chance to speak
but 1 want the floor now.
Rep. Halualani-As l was going on to
say
Rep. Richards appeal to the House
if the Speaker refuses to intervene.
Rep. Halualani turned around, busted
off his seat and sat down, with show
of deep agitation.

The West Randolph Herald and News
is right when it controyerts the claim by
some Vermont papers that because Cover
nor Morton of New York is veritahle
son of Vermont that state should stand by
him as candidate for the presidency.
Local prejudice-or local pride, as you
Ike it's an excellent thing on many occa-
sions but local prejudice, in its most local
sense, should not figure largely in so ma
tonal a question as the choice Of u presi-
dent. Vermont does herself credit in
standing by Reed, but she loves Morton
none the less.-St. Johnsbury Republican
SO Vermont loves Morton. but not
enough to support his political aspirations; !;
but Vermont should support Reed because
he is New England man, or at least SO
half the papers IN the state have claimed.
But according to the above paragraph there
is difference between "local prejudice
and prejudice in its most local sense;
the former should influence Vermonters
great deal, but the latter not at all, even
when the fortune Of one Of the states most
famous sons is at stake. This sort of logic
would have made Aristotle she'd bitter
tears.
