THEY SAW the SMOKE.
But They Declined to Act Upon the
Warming.

Once Vesuvius destroyed two italian
cities in a few hours. The people saw the
smoke from the volcano but failed to
escape in time.
Where there is smoke there is fire and
where there are symptoms of one of the
most dangerous of diseases. A feeling OF
languor, a sense of weakness and WEAKNESS,
drowsiness, giddiness and mental dfscom-
fort. A bad taste in the mouth--the old
coppery" taste. An offensive breath,
headache, neuralgia, heartburn, feeling
of dullness and weight in the stomach,
nausea, dry and feverish skin, constipation,
rising of nasty gas into the throat, tongue
furred ike the moss on a tree, irritabiity,
disgust with food.
Have you any of these symptoms?
Either now or sometimes? Yes" you say,
but I don't think they are dangerous"
They are signs of danger. They show that
the eruption is coming.
Now what lies at the bottom of all these
symptoms Indigestion, dyspepsia, and an
overworked liver. There is but one help,
one remedy. Slow up, and for the mis-
clief already done, tone up the digestive
Org ms and liver with the new medicine,

The weakest point in the license bill
is the druggists licenses to sell for medi-
cinal purposes only on physicians pre-
scrptions.
In every state where this feature has
been tried it has made no end of trouble
1t has increased the number of drug
stores more than 80 per cent, showing
an enormous increase in the business in
license states. Why?
1t has not occurred to any of the
license men that in adopting this feature
and incorporating it in their bill they
have adopted the "agency" idea of the
prohibtory law with long-ago tried
and found wanting rule. Yet this is
true.
Some twenty years ago nearly every
agency was in a drug store, and no
liquor could be had except on a doctors
order. 1t was soon found drunkards,
minors and persons who should not be
allowed to get liquor at the agencies
were getting it regularly on "physi-
clans order" Plenty of physicians
were ready to give an order for 80 cents.
The rule worked so badly that it was soon
abolished by the county commissioners,
and the "agents" made the sole Judges
of whether a person should have liquor
or not.
How many druggists are now town
agents? Mighty few. Why? News
| paper readers are familiar with the long
list of scandals over town agencies To-
Gated in drug stores. Nearly every
large town had such an experience, and
the result was the agency was taken out
of the drug stores and placed in other
hands, usually In the hands of an agent
who had no business that would mix
with the liquor business.
let this exploded prohibition idea is
one of the chief corner stones of the
license law.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1902-12-12

We hear great deal about Keeping
the party pledge from the license papers
and leaders. Leading Republicans are
accused of being traitors, renegades,
etc., because they do not favor the
icense-local option bill favored by the
license men. The latter say the Battel
bill does not fill the bill because it is
not all license through and through.
Now, let us see what the pledge really
was. 1t provided for three things plain
ly and distinctly:
lst. That license bill shall be sub
mitted to the people.
ID. That local option bill shall be
submitted.
Sd. THAT any material modification
of the present law should be made only
after thorough discus sion and mature
deliberation.''
The license men lay all the stress upon
the first clause.
Their bill, the license act, is not true
to the party pledge as a local option
measure. 1t gives the people of every
town the right to choose between license
and no license, and decide which they
will have. If license, well and good.
II no license, what then? Nothing
more or less than that these poor mis-
guided towns are to have license forced
upon them whether they like it or not.
All that is necessary is for . per cent. of
the voters (who want rum to drink,
and majority of the physicians who
get 80 cents to 81 for writing pre-
scription, to sign a petition for the
establishment of licensed drug store
for the sale of liquors for medicine.
The towns have no voice in it. They
can call a special meeting and forbid the
issuing of such a license by three
fourths vote, but it will make no differ
ence, the license will be issued.
Is not this the greatest blow ever
struck in this state against popular gov
eminent:
Has not each town heretofore been
allowed to regulate its own affairs?
This IS the very subversion of local
option and the most fragrant violation of
the party pledge and the rights of the
towns.
Consider the number of towns that
will vote yes if the license act becomes
a law. Leading license men say not
over % or 30 will so vote. Then PIG
towns, or six.sevenths of all the towns
in the state will be deliberately denied
the right to say whether they shall have
license or no license.
We believe this is not constitutional,
but whether it is or not it is the worst
outrage ever perpetrated in the name of
liberty and local option.

business by too quick and too radical
changes. 1t is most earnestly to be
wished that we could treat hevtariff
from the standpoint solely of our bus-
ness needs. 1t is, perhaps, too much to
hope that partlsanship may be en-
tirely excluded from consideration of
the subject, but at least it can be made
secondary to the business interests of
the country-that is, to the interests of
our people as whole. Unquestionably
these business interests will best be
served if, together with fixity of principle
as regards the tariff, we combine sys-
TEN which will permit us from time to
time to make the necessary reapplication
of the principle of the shifting national
needs. We must take scrupulous care
that the reapplication shall be made In
such way that 1t will not amount to
dislocatiOn of our system, the mere
threat of which, not to speak of the per-
Torrance, would produce paralysis in
the business energies of the community.
lIiSb dllOh III ihdhibE ihNSO
changes would, of course, be to preserve
the principle which underlies onr Whole
tariff system-that is, the principle of
putting American business interests at
least on full equality with interests
abroad and of always allowing suffi-
cent rate of duty to more than cover the
difference between the labor cost here
and abroad. The well being of the wage
worker, like the we'll being of the tiller
of the soil, should be treated as an
essential in shaping our whole economic
policy. There must never be any change
which will ieopardize the standard of
comfort, the standard of wages, of the
American wagew orker."
In its entirety the message, while well
written, and, evidently, well considered,
and, to great extent, iudidious and
thoughtful, was more conservative than
the people expected would emanate at
this time from the Chief Magistrate of
the nation.

The Death of Thomas B. Reed.

The announcement in last week s
paper that the ex-speaker of the house
of Representatives was dangerously ill.,,
was speedily followd by his death, at
- 10 AM. Sunday morning, December
I, at Washington, ID. c., the place where
he first came into prominence. A man
of massive frame and equally massive
intellect, courage and will power, his
fame was gained almost solely because
of his execution Otlthe duties of office of
Congress. The republicans were in the
majority, but the democrats held a very
respectable minority. Important legis-
lation, of a partisan character, was pend
Ing, and the democrats made use of all
parliamentary tactics at their command
to delay the inevitable. ThereupOn
Speaker Reed made rulings which were
arbitrary beyond precedent, and which
caused more vituperation to be
poured upon him from the tongues and
newspaper organs of his political OPP
ponents than ever before or since fell to
the lot of presiding officer of the House.
He was simply unrufli d. He did rot
turn a hair, and it was not long before
his adveI aries admitted that, so fsris h 8
rulings went, they had been in the line of
protecting majority from the persistent
and pernicious dilatoriness of a minority.
The soubriquet of "The Gar" was be-
slowed upon him because of his arbitrary
parliamentary methods, and chung to him
until his death. He is the only man who
gained great distinctions solely because
he was Speaker of the House of
Representatives, although he was an
able and successful lawyer. A condensed
biography of him appears in another
part of the paper

Deer Not all Killed.

Robert Hesse and A. Whiting, of the
town of. Rutland, chad an exciting ex-
perience with buck deer near the home
of Levi Kinsman at Center Rutland
Monday.
They were chopping wood on lot
back of Mr.. Kinsman's house when the
buck, which looked to weigh about 300
pounds, came out of the woods in their
direction. Mr.. Hesse thought he would
see how near he could approach the
animal and started to do so, when sud-
denly the buck lowered its horns and
charged at Mr.. Hesse.
Hesse managed to swing into the lower
branches of a tree just in time to avoid
the buck, which then charged upon Mr..
Whiting, but the latter also took refuge
in a tree.
The animal after paving the ground in
the vicinity of the tree for few minutes
ran off into the woods.

A large doe made her appearance in
the streets of Dandy Monday afternoon
and wandered about town for several
hours. She would not allow any one to
approach her, but did not seem to be
frightened at the sight of people.
She walked about the various streets
and roads in this vicinity during the
greater part of the afternoon, and at
night disappeared in the woods. 1t is
thought that the animal was driven into
the village by hunger, it being difficult
for the deer to obtain sufficient food in
the woods on account of the snow,
which is very deep in the mountain dis
trict east of here.
