THE DAYS REVIEW.

In the Legislature of two years ago the
citizens of the village OF bennington and
nearby territory made an effort to secure q
city charter, but local dissension and the
condition OF local affairs at that time block
ed the attempt. Presumably matters are
ripe for a charter now, rs 1t Il announced
that application will be made for a city
charter at the coming session. Bennington
Is one of Vermont's most prosperous and
progressive large towns, and her sister
cities will welcome her az well fitted for
and deserving of place among them

AS Senator Ross has graphically said,
there are indeed some strange things this
year" In Windham county convention
the town of Vernon instructed its delegates
for Grout. When 1t came to the election of
a Representative strong Dillingham; man
was elected by the absolutely unanimous
vote Of the town, not vote being cast
against him. From which it would appear
that Vernon sometimes changes its mind.

In speaking of the result OF the political
labors OF the Storey Fort-Hall morality

The Barre Telegram publishes this re-

montpelier takes little interest in the

On the contrary there hes been prevs-
lent idea-especialy in the mind OF our
proof reader-that This city took large in
terest in the question. BY the way, who is
meant in the reference to our "city booze

We,gpses,

If person is i'll and needs a medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hun
dreds of thousands of cures to its
credit?
A great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs Is constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to us very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years it's record has been one un-
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has over
known has such a record for cures.
1t seems so strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
e. Pinlkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce
spirit of confidence in the hearts Of
women which is difficult to dislodge,
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, mo, we want
Lydia E. Pinllham's Vegetable Com
pound, which has been tried, and
never found wanting, whose reliability
is established far beyond the expert
mental stage"
We have thousands of letters like the
following addressed to Mrs. Pinkham,

Esquire B. e. Billiard OF Hardwick, the
Democratic warhorse of that section, was
in the city today, and expressed the opinion
that the Democrats in the Legislature
would demand something deinite-very

for any concessions made to any Republican
senatorial candidate. ne hardly thinks
the Democrats will insist on the forcing of
local option at this session, as he regards
that as certain to come in any event in the
immediate future. 1t may be added that

What a change in local conditions
in twenty-five years. In those days il
some clergy man or long suffering citi-
zen made complaint TO Esquire Hinck-
ley and a search and seizure followed
this breach of the liquor dealers peace
and invasion Of personal liberty it came near
causing riot The complainant, Justice
Hinckley and everybody connected with
the raid was savagely denounced even in
the public press as "ramrods" and every
attempt made to excite the vengeful feel
ings Of the rabble of saloon strikers and
hangers-on against them, even to the point
of personal violence. Esquire Hinckley will
have no difficulty in recalling these times
which tried temperance mems souls. Satur-
day was a day of public carousal and intoxi-
Gated men could be seen in numbers on the
street, and the alleys and back lots were
filed with quarrels and every stage OF in
ebriation. What change t0dayl There is
rum enough in Montpelier now, but every
law abiding resident has reason to rejoice
at the mighty improvement.

A quarter of century ago the people of
the capital village managed to exist some-
how without electric lights, electric cars.
telephones or bicycles. Even the cigarette
tiend of the present day had not terminated
from the microbe of concentrated filth.
The "hello girl" was not on to her job be-
cause of the fact that there was no job for
her. No electric cars buzzed through the
quiet streets, no bicycles supplied "head-
ers" and daily items for the papers concern
ing confused anatomies, and no arc light
ing to roll home in the morning. On the
contrary the incarnation Of artificial out
door light was K. X. Skinner, who could be
seen az dusk approached jogging through
the streets with his gas wand and lighting
the street lamps az he drove alongside the
posts. Everybody those days considered
our streets beautifully lighted, and didn't
see how any Improvement could possibly
be made.

naturally created some commotion, but in

when the special excursion train of a party

and curing the few minutes wait the pill
grims limbered up on the platform and
gave free expression to their opinions of

ENLARGED CREMAT0RY

Decided Upon by the Board of Health.
United States Fertilizer Co. Notifies
the Committee That It is Out Of It.
Location Discussed.
Last night a meeting Of the board OF
health was held, at which the garbage
disposal situation was discussed. Those
present included Chairman John K
List, CouncIlmen Williams. watson
Beckett and Meyer. and City Engineer
White, City Solicitor Nesbitt, Health
officer Jepson and Superintendent OF
the Crematory serig.
without even considering the United
states Fertilizer Company, which some
time ago entered into contract to han
die the citY's garbage, the board pro-
ceeded to discuss ways and means OF
placing the clty's own orematory in
shape to handle all the garbage that
win be offered the coming spring, sum-
mer and fall.
The committee decided to enlarge the
present crematory one.half its present
dimensions, giving II a capacity Of three
holes, instead Of two as at present City
Engineer White was instructed to visit
the plant, in company with Expert N.
G. Hamilton, and to prepare plans and
secure bids. When this has been done
Chairman List will call another meet
ing of the board.
Then there was an interesting discus
sion as to the advisabillty OF moving
the crematory to another location.
Health oHicer Jepson said he had been
Informed tbat the present garbage col
Iector would not be a bidder for the
contract this year. owing to the ex-
pense and difficulty attending the de-
livery Of garbage to the crematory. He
believed the bids would be higher than
the present contract.
Chairman List spoke Of the old stone
quarry on the Peninsula, near the Bal
tlmore & Ohio tunnel, as an excellent
site.
Mr.. Beckett remarked that council
had already had one scrap over pro-
posed removal to the Sixth ward, and
he didn't relish another.
Mr.. List said only the Fourth ward
counclimer would possibly object to the
Peninsula location.
IT wouldn't care II every garbage cart
in town went past my door," remarked
DR.. Jepson.
Solicitor Nesbitt presented the follow
ing fast fond adIeu from the United
States Fertilizer sompany:
