Everything that enters into the cost
of producing the paper may increase,
the retailers in all lines advance their
prices to meet market conditions, yet
the prices on advertising space remain
stationary. OF course this is not only
poor business, but il is likewise un-
lust. What win the newspapers OF
Vermont do about tip Bellows Falls
Times.
Do? They will change the advertise
ments weekly, hire extra compositors
if they come in late, improve the grade
OF the paper, write putis for the adyer-
tisers gratis about once a month, add
a supplement now and then, hang TO
their desks from a. m. TO 10 p. M,
watch others enjoy themselves, take all
the kicks and cuffs there are going,
cling to the same old rates and try and
feel happy. There is no secret about
it.-ENewport Express.
There is more than a grain OF truth
in these observations. The cost Of
issuing newspapers has greatly in
creased Of late. the papers are constant

pense Of the publisher, who is anxious

Some Of the sharpest criticism level

TO three-quarter and one-quarter d.
vision between state and license towns,
respectively, on the ground that the
small back towns would reap the bene-
fit. while the license communities
would carry the burden. This Is
something of an admission, on their
part, that the open saloon is not an

On the other hand there was no
political trick or bad faith In the
adoption OF the majority bill reieren-
DUN, which has been termed "hcads-
I-win, -tails-you-loser proposition. IL
was merely an unfortunate condition
which made il necessary that this kind
of a referendum should be utilized,
rather than a straight yes or no,
which would have been more salts
factory and decisive, but less tree
from the charge of being unconstitu-
tional In character. Certainly the
friends of prohibition can find no fault
with a referendum measure identical
TO the one that placed the prohibitory
law upon the statute books fifty years
ago. rEnosburg Standard.
Vermonters have acquired an
amazing amount Of information since
the June convention respecting the
referendum. Few then supposed there
was any doubt about the constitutions
atty OF a direct vote on the question
of accepting or rejecting an act sub
mitted to the voters. This complica-
ton has arisen since then. and the
matter now presents itself this way -
Should the state follow the literal d.
rection OF the platform and run know
ingly into the danger Of a legal over
turn, with its consequences, or should
it regard as a referendum that kind of
referendum which has once been
tried in similar way and sustained
by the courts2 All win agree that it
is exceedingly unfortunate that
direct vote cannot safely be had on the
square issue, so as to settle it once and
for all.

Biographicar Sketch

Thr following is a short bio
graphical sketch Of Thomas B.
Reed who died last Sunday:
Thomas B. Reed was born at
Portland, Me-, October IS, 1899.
He graduated from Bowdoin col
ledge in 1860 and afterwards
studied law. He was acting assist
ant paymaster of the United
States navy from April, 1854, until
November, 1865. In the latter
year Mr.. Reed was admitted to the
bar and opened an Office in Port
land. 1t was in 1868 that he
entered politics, becoming a mem
Der of the state house of represen-
tatives. In 1870 he was member
of the state senate and was attor-
ney general of the state of Maine
for three years from 1870 to 1872
inclusive. Atterward he became
solicitor of Portland, occupying
that position for four years, from
1874 to 1877.
Mr.. Reeds first service in the
national legislature was in the
FortY.ffth congress. He was con-
tinuously reelected up to and in
cluding the Fifty-fifth congress.
In the house he soon obtained a
commanding position and in De
cember, 1889, he was chosen
as speaker of the house in the
Fifty first congress.
Mr.. Reed was twice afterward
elected speaker of the house.
After serving in the Fifty fifth con-
gress he declined reelection and |
retired to private life, In 1896
Mr.. Reed was a strong candidate
for the republican nomination for
the presidency but could make no
headway against the Mckinley
wave.

Coincidence to Be Avoided

Democratic papers are calling
attention to the fact that since
1887 Mckinley was the first presi
dent to have a congress in sym
pathy with him during the middle
of his presidential term, and now
President Roosevelt has the same
advantage. OF course they give us
good advice, and we can neither be
to thankful for the same nor toe
careful not to follow it.
1t might not be aniss to say to
them, in spirit of kindness, that
if the people ever forget the hard
ships of 1S93-'96 and again entrust
democrats with the government,
they should be careful not to get at
the same time congress composed
of calamity howlers and a
president who hates the industries
of his country, They then might
expect to live long enough to see
another democrat in the white
house.
