| He said: IT s,4n convinced more than
ever before not only of the righteous
ness of our principles, but also of the
necessity Of the application Of those
principles to government. We have
spent too much time In the past In dis
cussion of the pecuniary value Of diff
ferent policies and too little in consid-
ering the moral value of those princi-
pies. Every great question involves a
moral principle. Unless we can rouse
the conscience Of the American people
there Is no hope of success of our prin-
ciples.
"The moral element in civilization is
not only an important element, but 1T is
the paramount one. Moral decay pre-
cedes political decay. l deny that there
is any analogy between the individual
and the nation which proves that ma
tions must decay. Nations are COM
posed, not Of individuals, but Of gener-
ations. I deny that it is necessary
that this nation shall ever be less than
it is now. IF the people do their duty
there is no reason why we should not
be greater and granderf thousand
years from now.
"There is no moral principle that has
a limitation. When you limit prin-
ciple you deny it's morality. You can
not draw the line between nations and
individuals in the moral law 1t is
right that an individual should be am
bilious to become influential. 1t is a
laudable desire for man to want to be
the greatest man in his city, in his
state, in the nation, in the world. What
is the meaning of greatness? 1 quote
from the Scriptures, Let him who
would be chiefest among you be the
servant of all He is greatest who does
the most good for all. 1t is contribu-
ton to the happiness of the world that
makes our own happiness. I know of
no other way Of overcoming evil except
by good. In the discussion of anarchy
it will be well to remember that you
can suppress horse stealing by law, but
you can't stop it except by raising the
thief to higher ideas. | don't believe
that we can overcome anarchy by law
any more than we can overcome horse |
stealing, unless we cure the spirit of |
anarchy. We must teach that govern
ment is a necessity then that our gov
ernment is the best on earth, and then
make it so good that every citizen will
die for it. Let your light so shine be-
fore men that they may see your good |
works About the time that you begin
to coerce your neighbor to believe as
you do he will begin to coerce you, and

CROPS AND TRADE.

Cool nights have prevailed the past
week, while the days have not been
more than normally warm. The amount
of sunshine has been generally deficient
The present outlook for nearly all
crops is generally favorable. More rain
is needed in the south, less in the north
and more sunshine in all sections of the
district. 1t is considered. however, that
the prospects for good yields were favor
able at the close of the week, and that
with favorable conditions in the future,
an abundant harvest will be secured.
Reports regarding grain are still en-
couraging. Oats are heading well and
some rye is being cut. Although corn is
reported as doing fairly well in most
localities, it needs more sunshine. The
heavy rains have hindered work so that
some corn remains to be planted, and
that already up is Ct ting weedy, as the
weather has interfered with its proper
cultivation. In some places il is said to
be somewhat yellowed and much injured
by crows.
In the north grass is doing well, al
though its growth Is somewhat rank.
Rich lowlands IL southern sections look
remarkably we'll. Old fields are very
thin, and, in some cases, they are being
cut, plowed up and seeded to Hungarian.
In some localities apples are reported
to be dropping badly, probably due to
the damaging effects of late frosts.
Most sections, however, report that
there is promise of an abundant crop.
Damage is still being done by caterpillars
and canker worms in some localities. and
more spraying of trees is being done
than usual. Small fruits and berries are
looking well and promise good crop.
The strike in Rutland continues and
the efforts which have been made to
bring about settlement seem to have
met with no success. A strike is re-
ported in one of the paper mills at Bel
lows Falls, which, while resulting from
an apparently small matter. has involved
a large number of workmen. Retail
trade in the larger towns is quiet as a
rule. The manufacturing business gen
orally throughout the state is well en-
ployed and there Is a good demand for
labor.

w. T. C. u. CONVENTION.

Annual Convention of the Addison
County w. c. L. L. at Lincoln.
The morning of June IL dawned
bright and clear. Officers and delegates
wendell their way to Lincoln.
Upon arriving they met with a cordial
welcome from the union there. \
sumptuous dinner was served after
which we repaired to the Union church
which was finely decorated with potted
plants for the occasion. After a short
executive meeting the convention was
called to order and devotional meeting
held, which God signally blessed. The
Spirit followed the entire meeting.
The hours which too quickly passed
away were filled with words of well
come which were responded to by the
president. Excellent papers on depart
ment work were read and lively discus
sion upon the use of narcotics, the twin
evils of alcohol. The Injurious evils of
cigarettes on the brain of our county.
The evening was well filled until late
hour. The Lincoln Band were out and
discoursed fine music on the green in
front of the church after which they
were most cordially invited inside by
the president, which invitation they
very kindly accepted and again We were
treated TO sweet strains of music from
them. Surely we felt very grateful for
this expression toward US. May God
bless the Lincoln Band and keep them
for the Masters use. The choir also
gave excellent music, scripture and
prayer followed after which Mrs. Weeks
rendered solo. G. j. Ferguson spoke
at length upon the prohbitory law
against license, which was listened to
with great interest. 1t was very con-
vincing argument and clearly showed
that license high or low is a curse to
any people-as well as reproach TO
civilized humanity.
Wednesday forenoon was well filled
with reports on the different depart
ments of the work. The election of
officers also came at this time which
resulted as follows; Mrs. l.. ID. Dyer,
Middlebury, president; Mrs. f. f. Dana,
Bristol, secretary; Mrs. w. n. Cove,
Lincoln, treasurer.
Especial mention should be made of
most excellent papers by Mrs. BirdsalI
of South Starksboro and Mrs. j. w.
Page of Bristol. Closing remarks by
I Rev. Bravel and singing Blest be the
Tie That Binds. Dismissed by Pastor.

Show What You Can Do,

Beginning September -, genuine old
time Mechanics Fair will be held in Bos-
ton. This will be the first time in four
years that the Fair has been held.
The great popularity of this exhibition
is well known. No charge is made to
exhibitors for space. The utmost effort
will be made this year to make the Fair
attractive. We advise all Interested in the
arts, sciences, agriculture, etc, to avail
themselves of this opportunity TO
exhibit their work or products. Applica-
ton for space and further particulars
should be addressed to j. c. Hosmer,
Manager Mechanics Building, Boston,
Mass.
Inasmuch as the Mechanics Fair is an
old New England institution, would it
not be good plan to give it liberal sup
port by exhibiting at that time any prod
ucts coming from this section of the
State? Such an effort will surely be of
advantage to this locality as well as to
the exhibitors themselves.

were a cruel damper 10 the fisherman
hopes, bur he was surprised individual
a day or two later to meet Mr.. Spaulding

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARIES.
REFERENDUM DEMANDED.

hEFGHcNOOM DeMANDtD.
The Vermont Anti-Saloon League has
at last recognized the fact that the people
demand right to vote on the ques ton
of prohibition VS.. license. At full meet
ing OF the executive committee at Bur-
iington Friday night the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted.
"Resolved, That Mr.. Morrow be in
structed on the part of the Vermont Anti
Saloon League to urge the insertion of
referendum plank in the Republican party
platform at Montpelier, June 10, and that
| this matter be published as soon and as
widely as may be judicious.'
"The ultimate authority is with the
| people. For fifty years the people of
Vermont by their chosen representatives
have maintained the law which forbids
the open saloon place among our bust
ness institutions. License papers, saloon
advocates in and out of the state, regard
less of the sturdy refusal so constantly
reaffrmed to open the way for free rum
in Vermont, have long insisted that the
people want license, and in their later
appeals have tied a referendum to the
license proposition. We believe that the
time is ripe to submit the question, pure
ana simple, to the voters of the State.
Give us the referendum. Let the cues
ton "Shall the traffic in Intoxicating
liquors be licensed in Vermont % be re-
ferred to the voters, and let us abide by
the will of the majority. Details of ways
ana means, time and place, will be
attended to by the Legislature of course,
but let US have expression on the PROPOSE
ton by the State convention at Montpelier,
June ID. We haye no reason to distrust
the people. The whole State is aroused
over this matter today. Men who usually
take little interest in political affairs are
awake and interested. Let the people
say by vote whether they welcome
saloons. and the question will be deter
mined. The people are the final arbters.
We believe in the wisdom and judgment
OF the people. "-Messenger.

ginning June %. There is no college in
New England that deserves better from
the public than Middlebury, as it gives a
good collegiate education at the minimum
