THE STATE PRESS.

The Burlington Free Press hears
TIE name of William b. Wall of
Randolph in connection with the
lieutcnant-governor-ship. Quite a
list. isn't there; William would
certainly be the drum major of the
collection.-St. Johnsbury Republi-
can.
The Essex Record has obtained
figures from reliable sources, show
ing the sale and use in Vermont of
an immense quantity of drugs of the
nature of morphine and cocaine. 1t
demands restrictive measures, to
limit the drug habit. The Record
is essentially right. The opium
curse is worse than drunkenness in
this state today, and the gates are
wide open for the sale of death by
the ounce and phial.-Randolph
Herald.
Judging from the manner in
which postotfices are being bur
glarized in Vermont the United
States authorities evidently have
good grounds for the suspicion that
a professional gang is making a
summer tour of the Green Mountain
state, and it might not be a bad idea
for the government to turn loose in
tits commonwealth some of those
detectives whose exploits in other
states are furnishing hair.raisins

A "POWERFUL POLITICAL MACHINE.
In the matter of state officials, the
political future of Vermont is abso-
lutely and to all appearances perma-
nently in the hands Of the Vermont
Fish and Game league. John w.
Titcomb is the official head of this
organization, but only tigurehead.
Today it is the most efficiently Off
cered and organized and most far.
reaching and powerful political
machine that Vermont ever knew.
1t has thorough organization IN
every county and qualifications in
every school district. 1t has enlisted
under its banner practically all that
are worth securing of the bright and
able young men of the state, whose
qualifications entitlc them to enter
tain political aspirations as we'll as
the old war horses. 1t is generally
understood today that only through
the portals of this club and with its
endorsement can political success be
attained in Vermont. In politica
and general way it is to Vernon
what Tammany is to New lorl
city. 1t is essentially the Greer
Mountain Warwick. - Morrisvlll'

Telephone Strike.

The strike of the lincmen en-
ployed by the New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph company in
Boston and Lowell will not affect
the linemcn in the northern division
of which ]. X. Butler of Burlington
is superintendent. MIR. Butler said
that but few of the linemcn in his
division were members of the union
and that they are satisfied with their
present hours and pay. He does
not think the men will go out. 1t is
not thought that any of the men in
this division will be transferred to
take the place of the strikers.
The lincmen are striking for an
eight hour day and an increase in
pay to S.. Only short time age
they were granted nine hour day
at $3.50.

His Legs Crushed.

Walter Jondro, a young man who
drives a stone team for Morrill, East
man, was driving through Depot
Square at Barre, last week Friday
morning, with three large stones on
his wagon, when he jumped to the
ground for some purpose and at the
same time disturbed the equilibrium
of one OF the large stones. Before
he moved out of harms way block
of granite weighing 500 pounds fell
from the wagon on the young mans
limbs, pinning him to the earth.
His left leg between the knee and
ankle was crushed, both bones being
broken, and 1t is thought likely that
it may be Il compound fracture.
The large ankle bone of the right
limb was crushed also. The young
man may possibly lose his left leg,
bu, it is likely that the right will be
saved.

BY EDWARD 6. DANA.

Gov. Stickncy is disappointing
again in his selection Of +, =. Vim
ton of Boston to paint the portrait
Of Capt. Clark of the Oregon for
the state capitol. 1t would have
been n matter for pride If the COM
mission had been given to II Yer
montcr, says the I'rattlrhoro 'hoc-
nix. But Governor Stckncv has
appointed an artist of reputation and
ability, and might have made a
worse mistake.
"Ragtimc" is likely t" have its
run in spite OF the opposition Of
federated musicians. The National
Union OF Musicians, in session at
Denver, has formally resolved "Ihat
the members of the American Fed
Grafton of Musicians shall hence
forth make every effort to suppress
and to discourage the playing and
publishing OF such musical trash by
substituting when and wherever
possible the works of recognized
and competent writers and COM
posers, thereby teaching the general
public to appreciate wholesome,
decent and intellectual class of
music, and especially the works of
the great masters"
None Of the state ticket states for
1902 retains any of the present Off
GERS who are now so aSsiduouslv
looking out for Ne,mont's welfare.
They don't seem to I've amoug the
possibilities. 1t was not a sudden
summons to duty in 1900. They
had, most of them, been long time
engaged in establishing themselves
in popular favor, but all their efforts,
aided by considerable ability as po-
litical managers, do not seem to
avail them in the present crisis.
But perhaps once is enough for
them, and for the people. The
names of Gen. Mccullough and DR..
Webb are quite conspicuous among
the governorship possibilities, and
of the two McCullough's name is
perhaps received with more favor as
that of man who is not prepared
to make a fight unless there is very
general and positive demand for his
services. There are also dozen
names mentioned for each place on
the state ticket, with the exception
of the treasurership. While it APP
pears to be accepted as a matter of
course that he must give way to
some one, his possible successor has
not yet been put forward.

WINDSOR COUNTY CASE.
An opinion was rendered by
Judge Stafford in the " indsor coun-
tv case of State VS.. Cadigan, selling
bonds without license. Judgment
reserved, demurrer sustained, in
dictment quashed, and respondent
discharged.
This is an important decision. In
it the court declares unconstitutional
that portion OF the Vermont statutes
requiring that bond and investment
firms in other states secure license
and file a bond up to $4,000 before
doing business in Vermont. The
court finds the law conflicts with the
fourteen tn amendment of the federal
Constitution and the bill of rights of
Vermont.

the Office was never filled by better
or more capable man than W. H.

county has ever had. He is a happy
combination of a farmer and bust

REPHRLLNAN DNTY

The Importance ofthe coming elec-
ton is such that citizens should be
showing more interest in it than they
are. The campaign has now fairly
opened and yet there is prevailing
much apathy. This is due largely to
the fact that the only question in re-
gard to the result so far as the state
ticket is concerned is the size of the
republican majority. No intelligent
democrat seriously thinks that there
is any chance for his party to elect
it's candidate for governor or any
other candidate on the state ticket.
The only hone Of the democracy is to
gain county and local victUrI5s aAu
the only danger to the Republican
party is that the justified confidence
in the general result may cause apathy
to blind voters to the necessity OF
watchfulness and work lest demo
cratic Legislators and county officials
may slip in,
The coming legislature will have
the election of successors to Senators
Allison and DOlliver and while there
is every reason to believe that there
will be safe republican majority yet
the possibility of defeat, however
remote, should be guarded against by
the solid and enthusiastic rallying tC
the support of the republican nom
inees for the legislature. The demo
Gratis are pihniDg what little hope
they have on a possibility and they
are preparing to make a strong but
quiet fight in every district thinking
that by chance they may catch the
republicans sleeping and thus steal a
march. The very thought of Iowa
losing such men as Senators Allison
and Dolliver and having democrats
in their place should be enough to
arouse every voter to a realization oi
the necessity of working zealously
for the election of the republican
ticket by so arousing a majority as to
leave no room for uncertainty.
There is need also for vigilance and
earnestness in regard to the county
ticket. Some Of the democratic nom.
inees are already eagerly seeking
every sort of help to further theil
interests and some of them are work
ing like beavers. 1t does not do foI
republicans to rest easy in the con
sciousness that all indications are fav,
orable for sure republican victory
Nor is the duty simply that of in.
suring party success. 1t is the duty
which falls on every citizen to do his
best to secure good government and
that can be secured by the election

Waterloo Reporter: The roses
bloom for but a season, yet they
come again. 1t is thus with our joys
We grow and labor and suffer, catch
ing the fragrance and fruits of hap
piness just enough to keep them from
being common If the rose bush
were all blossoms always there would
be nothing about it to admire. If our
life was all joy where would be the
comp arison and without comparison
the qualification? Barring the shade
and the shadow there would be one
unvariable desert, an eVanesoent
nothing of Joy.
