Where Things Were Wide Open.

Horace w. Bailey OF Newbury took
a party to the Pan-American exposi-
ton last fall and has published letters
from each of the party telling OF the
things that struck them as most re-
marRable. In reviewing these letters
Mr.. Bailey says
ITO us Nermonters brought up in
prohibition Vermont the fact men
toned by Mr. Sawyer in No. 6 is truly
marvellous, viz: A clean, beautiful,
thrifty city tull Of happy, contented,
well-to-do people, to which add $4,000
visitors daily from all sections and of
all degrees, high. low, rich, poor good,
bad and Indifferent, and no drunken
ness nor indication fit. This too in
the face and eyes of the saloons on
every hand, in the city and on the Pan
American grounds, a free rum place
from start TO finish. One day of
county fair at South Ryegate, Brad
ford or East Corinth reveals far more
indication of liquor drinking than one
would see in whole week at the Pan
American This is not intended as an
argument against Vermont's prohibit
tory law. 1t is nevertheless a stub
born fact containing food for
thought

Cuba held its first presidential elec-
ton Tuesday, and Tomas Estrada
Palma was elected. He was the can
didate Of the Cuban party that is most
favorably disposed toward this coun-
try. His election means a continuance
Of amicable relations. Maso, the
other candidate, withdrew, alleging
that the election was not a fair test.
There seems to be no ground for such
a charge. Palma is undoubtedly the
choice of large majority of Cubans,
who esteem him highly and who want
the good win Of the United States.
The Americans viii shortly relinquish
control of the island, and Cuba libre"
viii become a reality.

that it has made a ruling like that re-

understanding of notice given by

The Essex newspaper syndicate has
lately installed a new press and now
issues a seven-column quarto instead
of a siX-column. Bro. Hays has
achieved a remarkable success in a
field already well covered. He has
done it along unique and original
lines, where the average newspaper
man would have failed, and is entitled
to the reward that seems to be coming
his way. He imprints his personality
strongly on his paper. He is that rare
