Great interest has been aroused by
the Aid of the Copper Mining Com
pspy" which is in another portion OF
the uaper. Many Mining Companies
have exploited their properties iu the
East which did not own their proper
ty. hut The Horse Shoe Copper Min
ing Co, above mentioned, not only
owns all its mines free and clear, but
carries a large number of men of high
standing and wealth behind it, as the
list of the directors will show.
1t Is we'll known fact that many
substantial fortunes in New England
have been made by the rise in copper
stocks by those who have invested
when the mine was in process of de-
velorment.
We are pleased to see that this sue
cessful and progressive Corporation
which is in the hands of vigorous bus
mess men of high financial position,
has chosen The Reformer in this sec
ton as a mesrs of reaching the pub
lie, ard we prophesy a full measure
of success for them.

THE REFORMER

When we took possession OF The re

Al, r;obt We therefore determined To
continue that issue until experience
.hould show either the wisdom or inc
folly Of it, ,. -.
Experience has already taught Us
this. that the Reformer's advartislng
fe,d is too limited, even with the mos'
o.-afnl canvass and at the pess
prices, to furnish the patronage nec'
essary to cover the expense OF issuing
the paper as a ssmiiweekly.
The facts and figures in the case
have demon strated that ths issue OF
the Tuesday edition requires an extra
exuense of 500 per week, whiie 'he
nat income from it is only $50; leav-
ing a deficit of S3,64O per annum Id
tina rroceeds of the Friday edition
As these procesds ara not sufhcien'
TO meet this expense, we have decid-
ed to discontinue the TUESDAY eui

We trust that such of our subscrip
orc as NAV prefer the Reformer 10
semi weekly issue, and who subscribed
for it on that preference, will suspend
INDIGNANT for few weeks until they
ses what kind of weekly paper we
shall give them in it's place. NO
other uaper in this field is published
twice a week; but whenever BUSINESS
conditions shall render such an issue
rossible. we promise that The Reformer
will be- the first to take advantage OF
them.
We have installed an entirely new

Two Of tbs large life insurance COM
panies are now issuing policies to total
abstainers in a separate class and 9th
els are said to be preparing to follow
suit. This experiment, after few
wears. should furnish excellent evil
depce on a much disputed point.
There is one company in this country
that issues policies only to total alb
staipers. ard its CLAIM is that Its
death rate is &c per cent lower than
that of the companies that take all
surts and conditions of men. If true
it is the best kind of temperance edu-
cation. Many of the large British life
compauies have long made ditferen-
tisl rates between drinkers and teeto-
tslers, ard the records kept of their
respectiye death rates seem to justify
ths conclusion that the tee totalers are
the superior risks by about 20 to 70
ner cent. 1t is curious historical
fact that the first British company to
issue separate temperance risks was
founded because one Robert Warner
who applied for a policy in 1910, was
asked to paw an extra premium be
cause he WAS a total abstainer.

Notable and Fitting Honor.

The unanimous election of DIR Henry
y Holton of Brattleboro, as president
of the American Public Health AsSo-
citation is a deserved recognition OF
one of the best citizens Of Vermont
and one of the ablest members of the
medical profession in the country.
The honor is a notable one, the mem
bership OF the association including a
large humber of the most eminent
musicians and sanitary ex
merits in the United States,
Canada and Mexico. DR. Holton has
been treasurer of the association eight
wears. -Morrisville Messenger,

President Roosevelt has not only
turned down Kansas and Illinois san
ators and Addicks 10 Delaware IN
matters of appoi utment, but be has
deeply disguised Senator Hanna, &C.
cording to Washington gossip 10 the
section of Judge Jones of Alabama
and the boss from Ohio, who has bad
tae southern patronage we'll in hand,
is threatening to resign the chair
manship of the national committee.
The Jones appointment is regarded in
Washington as an earnest pur-
pose on the Presidents part to build
up Republican party 10 the South
on broad and enduring lines. There
could be no wiser politics or better
patriotism than to thus eliminate sec
tionalism and the times are certainly
ripening for 1T. 10 the long run in
deed there could be no more effective
ay of overcoming the tendency there
towards injustice and disfranchiSe-
ment of the negro. Two closely di-
vided parties would each have mo-
tive to seek his vote whereas now
neither size has. 1t is only another
illustration of the general rule,
which every days experience 10 Yer.
mout ought to teach, that there is no
greater or morally more deadening
evil 10 public life than total lack of
competition of parties. The old Wing
party in anti-war times was nearly as
strong 10 the South as in the North,
and it usually carried North Carolina,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana and
sometimes Georgia, and there is no
reason under present issues why the
Republican party should not grow to
equal strength there.

ID NJ Camp of Newport is out IN
lengthy defense Of the town liquor
agencies against the showing made by
the st Albans Messenger few
~ouths ago. He argues that the 10
agencies of the state, "the only places
where liquor can be legally obtained
each represent 40 average OF 312
towns and so that in figuring the con
SUMPTION the whole population OF the
state should be included ard 1t
amounts to only 65 cents a year per
Notwithstanding children and babies
or IA cents per week. or course this
basis of figuring is only partly right
the hulk of the rum consumed in the
other l76 towns is illegally obtained,
as it is in the agency towns, for that
matter. He admits, however, that the
sale is too large, and
The improvement will continue Just
in proportion as the temperance men
and women watch the agency, look over
its sales book aud counsel with and ad-
wise the agent
This is we'll enough, but it is not
sufficient. The law to be consistent
with itself, should adopt the same
strinpe 1T methods with reference 10
illegal or fraudulent sales at agencies
as it does With other illegal sales.
The agent proved guilty of them
should be punished with at least
equal severity, instead OF gettirg on
with a reprimand or discharge by q
county comm issioner; comm lsSioner
who orders or authorizes such sale
should be dealt with in the same way
and as regards purchases, irsteau OF
the present discretion permitted IN
der the county commissioner super
vision, no human being should be al
lowed to get q drop at any agency eS-
cent on signing sworn certificate
that it is for medicinal, mechanicai
or chemical purposes" as specif1ed by
the law. If it is right for the law TO
make crime as it does Of any other
sales. it is certainly reasonable ana IL
is only consistent to guard them I'D
this way. That would go long ways
towards saving the prohlbltory law
from being farce. But the trouble
is that the bulk of our people who
think they believe 10 the law, really
dom want it to be anything but a
farce
