were not started up until December
They pIead the preston month ago
or just before the elections, that supply
was Immediately to be sufficient and
prices nearly normal. But this has all
proved to be false. and they doubtless
knew better; nevertheless they have been
fully determined to carry on the contest
with the miners for another month or
two at least, no matter what the con-
sequences to the millions of people who
had come to depend upon the mines for
fuel.
These men have provtd themselves I'M
fit to manage the properties they do and
if the owners of the properties are salts
fed with them, then private ownership
in this case has become a positive menace
to the public welfare. An adjustment of
present differences between miners and
operators is not sufficient to meet the
case in hand. The mines must be
brought under strong measure of pub
lie regulation and control, either state or
if the people are to be assured
hereafter against any repetition of present
experiences. There will be failure to
profit from the severe lesson now being
learned if this is not done.

Current Press Comment.

After all has been said by the fanat-
les OF the Vermont Fish and Game
League, the TACT remains that the league
is, in way, one OF the potent agencies
towards teaching state patriotism.
Those who attended the annual banquet
at Montpelier, Wednesday evening, were
much impressed by that fact. Vermont
and what can be done for Vermont's
good were the dominant notes of the
OCCASION Barre Daily Times.
For 50years the small towns and their
representatives have been the bulwark of
the prohibitory law. Ought they not
now to repudiate with horror and scorn
the offer of money derived from the "inia.
nous traffic in Intoxicating liquor, from
the colossal crime ofcrimes? OF course
they ought to repudiate it, logically.
But as a matter of fact we find them
tumbling all over themselves in their
haste to get the biggest possible share
OF the proceeds. They are opposed to
license on principle, because it is an ALI
ance with the Prince of Darkness, but
they want three quarters of the spoils. -
darlington News.
A prominent citizen of Vermont has
been speaking right out in open meeting,
and telling the good people OF Montpelier
some plain, if homely, truths about their
hotel accommodations and the prices
people are asked TO pay during a session
Of the legislature. If this is the only
reason there is for moving the capital,
perhaps it had better remain where it is.
There is, however, just cause for com
plant, both of the food and accommo-
dations and the prices one gets there
particularly if one is a legislator. The
suggestion of citizens committee is a
good one Bennington Reforner.

License.

Vermont, conspicuous tor the sobriety
and thrift Of her people, is menaced with
disaster. Change is not always progress,
and thoughtful people may well ask if
the removal of a portion of a fence is
better than the retention of the whole.
Restricted license is a fence with the
gates open and the bars down. ANY
farmer will tell you that a fence with
gaps in it is equivalent to no fence. Why
then should Vermont retrograde in
system of barriers designedly for the pub.
lie welfare. Is she tired of being thrifty
and sober?
A story out OF old Athens may assist
her in her bewilderment. Aristides, for
efficient and upright public service, was
called "The Just" His administration
was long and m1rtoIious. He had Cd.
position as matter OF course, and final
ly the opposition assumed considerable
magnitude. An individual was asked
the reason of his oppostion-"Are YOU
dissatisfied with Aristidcs for his lust
administration of the laws" "Oh no.
but | am tired OF hearing him Gale d The
Just"
Is Vermont tired of being thought
sober?

The Operators Censured.

Pending the decision Of the coal strike
commission, the operators are being
1oundly censuted for their stubborn at.
t1tude before the strike was settled and
their recent folly in suspending ncgotia-
tons to settle all differences indeperdent
OF the commission. 1t is generally con-
coded that the critical stage of the coal
famine is yet to come, and when one 1e.
calls how supremacy indifferent President
Baer OF the Reading Company was to
the proposals to settle the strike it is
hard to secure any sympathy for the
coal trust maguates. Now that little or
no coal is being received in New England
the public are demanding an adjustment
OF public utilities so that a few railroad
presidents can never trihe with the
necessities of lite again. A strong de-
mand has arisen for government control
and many 60 even farther and urge gov
eminent of the coal mines as the only
remedy IN the future. The Springfield
Republican, which cannot be said to be a
labor organ but which has repeatedly
called attention to the violation OF the
anti trust law by the coal railroad com.
bine, has the following deserved censure
OF the operators and calls for govern.
ment control OF the mines:

The Work of the Courts Set at Naught,

The legislative committee appointed to
examine into the mental condition of the
mulderers, Doherty and Eastwood, have
reported them insane, but there is no sane
person, acquainted in an unprecedented
way with all the facts, who has any idea
that these men were insane, or not fully
responsible for their acts, when they shot
their victims We once more advise the
members of the legislature to get the last
volume OF Vermont Reports out of the
state library and read for themselves the
facts as they were presented to the
judges of the supreme court, especially
in the case of Doherty.
The regular course of procedure will
now be to commute the sentences of
these men, send them to the Waterbury
asylum, and then, after a suitable time
has elapsed, find that they have ere
covered " or are in harmless condi.
ton" and turn them loose.
1t is significant fact in this connec-
ton that Gov. Mccullough has already
pardoned two murderers under sentence
of lie Imprisonment since he became gov

The corporations committee had done
little or nothing with the St. Johnsbury
city charter when the house adjourned
on Saturday, but it is possible that before
this letter gets into print, our village will
have become city, so far as the action
OF the committee is concerned.
The caucus reform and capital punish
ment bills bid fair, at present writing, to
provoke interesting debate, and certain
bills touching on the school question,
and which have stirred up considerable
earnestness, are made special orders for
today. The substitute railroad COM
mission bill which came from the house
committee on Friday is also one of the
things to be taken care of this week. 1t
increases the powers of the commission,
but is much milder measure than the
so called Ross bill originally introduced.

came affected, causing palpitation and

Almost immediate relief was given, and
after he had used four boxes he was to
all appearances fully cured
There was no more acidity or sour,
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and IL pounds in

Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

can be given to children or invalids or in
any condition of the stomach with per-
feet safety being harmless and contain
