Can't you feel the ground swell of
public sentiment that will demand
of the Republican party and the leg
islature justice for the large towns
in 1904? What an absurdity that the

towns and still be ruled by minor

"Is Vermont tired of being thought
sober?" asks the st. Johnsbury CAL
edonian. We hope not, but we shall
know before long whether or not she
is tired of pretending total absti-
hence, while three fourths of her cit
liens probably use liquor as bever-
age at one time or another. 1t is
the utter uselessness and hypocrisy
of it that Vermont is tired of.

at this time than ever before, but
John said nay. The salary at Toxic

EARLY CLOSING AGAIN.
Clerks Adopt Resolutions to lake
Effective Means to Bring Recall
citrant Merchants in Line Who
Have Been Violating Agreement.

The early closing of stores is again
agitating the Clerks association.
Perhaps it would be better to say that
it is the violation Of the agreement to
close at $50 each evening that is re-
ceiving the earnest attention of this
body. Last night at the regular meet
ing resolutions We're adopted, which
called for earnest action on the part of
the association to bring about II gen.
eral enforcement of the agreement. a
little less than a year ago, the associ-
alton found several merchants who in
sisted on breaking the agreement, re-
naming open after their neighbors, who
were bound by precisely the same prom
Use. had closed up shop and gone home
precisely at $50. For several weeks
there was a lively interest in the mat
ter. The Merchants association insist
ed on the clerks seeing to it that every
merchant observed the agreement to
close early. The clerks met with some
opposition, and for time it appeared
that early closing was about to be abol-
ished, as the Merchants association
was wrathy in it's insistence on the
clerks closing the stores at the hour
agreed upon. Now, the past few weeks
there have been evidences of fragrant
violations of the agreement. One or two
stores have been known to be doing
business openly after $50, though it was
agreed to close early, the same hour as
competitors. AS these violations have
been going on for some time, the clerks
decided on taking some action protest.
ing against these violations. Accord
ingly, resolutions We're adopted at last
nights meeting, which called for the
appointment of a committee, whose
duties will be to visit the merchants
who are not closing and point out to
them the obligation which rests on
them to close promptly at the hour
agreed upon, namely, $50.
1t is expected that when the commit
tee visits the parties complained
against, the violations will cease ana
the agreement, which is regarded as
reasonable, will be lived up, strictly to
the letter.
The clerks decided, also, to conduct a
May dance next month. The commit
teee was given a good deal of power
and 1T is expected that the affair will
be smart one. The Mozart orchestra
will provide music. The date will be
decided on at the next meeting.

CASEY GETTING BETTER.
His Chances of Recovery Improving
Each Day.

The condition of Edward Casey, who
was taken with what were feared would
prove fatal attacks OF hiccoughs grows
better each day, and his chances of re-
covery are hopefully increasing. The
attacks are greatly lessened, both in
severity and in number.
All of the remedies which were rec
commended to the family by reason OF
the interest that the newspaper reports
of Casey's affliction created, were tried
one after the other. Some were found
efflcaciOus, while others had Il tendency
to aggravate the attacks.
The family appreciates the interest
that has been SO widely shown in Mr..
Caseys condition, and the members are
deeply grateful for the thoughtfulness
and sympathy of all those who sought
to relieve their suffering parent in his
distress and weakness.
