asked General Parker of New Jersey.
He represents, by the way, the dis
trict, in which the rifle range at Sea
Girt is situated.
"Oyer at the rifle range one day."
said General Parker, there was a
team from Georgia, which had with
them colored boy and goat as mas
cots. The boy was dressed in bril-
liant uniform and the goat had a
fuzzy tail. Along came a rifieman who
belonged to rival team.
I'll give you a nickel for one of
your buttons he said to the boy, and
the trade was made. Then the, rifle
man plucked some hairs from the
goats tail and rubbed them Oh the
button. Now, he said, I have hoo
dooed your team. You will never win
the Hilton trophy
THE colored boy burst into tears
and the goat said D-a-a-a-m-n' Just as
plainly as anything you ever heard in
your life."

The Register cOngratulates both the
town and county of Bennington on the
consolidation of the Bennington Banner
and Bennington Reformer, which is an
nounced to take place January |. The
Banner is now oWred by Holden &
Cushman and has been very ably edited
and managed for the past year by the
veteran Editor II. l.. StillsOn. Frank (.
Howe. who purchased the Bennington
RefOrmer last summer, and has since
greatly improved it and made it one of
the leading newspapers in the state,
will be the managing editor of the COM
bined papers. If he receives sufficient
encouragement he will make one paper
into an afternoon daily, and continue the
other as weekly. Mr.. Howe's expert
ence on the Montpelier Daily Record.
and later on the Barre Daily times, and
the Palm Beach, Fla, Daily journal,
admirably fits him to do this success
fully. In any event he will give Ben
town and comfy a real, live newspaper,
one worth reading and taking. Mr..
Stillson, who Is now connected with the
Fraternity Publishing company, of Bos-
ton, will give that business his undivided
attention.

The Vermont Industrial Company

The Register is heartily in favor of the
idea involved in the bill incorporating
the Vermont Industrial Association.
Such an association can do great good.
But the bill would never have been
passed if there had been any able con
stitutional lawyers in the legislature, as
the underlying principle of the bill, the
ownership of great tracts of land by
corporation, is against the settled policy
of the state. There is nothing in this
Act to prevent the company from own
ing 100000 acres of land, and as cOrpor-
atons are perpetual, it is easy to see
that with few such corporations the
lands of the state could be largely alb
sorbed and we should be in the position
of England. Our forefathers guarded
against this very thing.
The laws of all the colonies forbade the
entailments of real estate or its owner
ship by corporations An individual
may own 100, 900 acres of land, but at
his death it is broken up among his heirs
and again comes up on the market so it
can be purchased by the people. A cor
poration unlike an individual dies not.
Its stockholders may die but the stock is
sold or goes into new hands and the COZ
poration continues unchanged. Re
peated attempts have been made to form
land companies for the very purposes
named in this Act. and every one has
heretofore been reported adverselyby the
judiciary committee as being contrary to
the settled policy of the state. The Ed
itor of the Register was interested in one
that was refused a charter in 1891, the
objects of which were identical with
those of the Vermont Industrial Co.
We believe the action of the legislature
in granting this charter eminently wise
and that it will insure the best interests
of the state, but it is the most radical
departure from the principles on which
the forefathers founded the state made
in many years.

Nhere the leaping brooks go singing in a

Facing all the fearful dangers that are

hard to bear before
And return through all the stretches OF

The friends of real reform in the laws
regulating the sale of Intoxicating liquor
are organizing all over the state. The
State Federation, composed sof the most
influential members of the Legislature,
and many of the most prominent citizens
of the state, was formed atlMontpelier
last week and is rapidly extending its
branches into every county, town and
school district in the state. This, with
the temperance societies, the w. c. L. U.
and all the churches without exception,
are united in an earnest effort to defeat
the efforts of the liquor interests to plant
the open saloon, with all its train of
evils, in Vermont, under the guise of
the License Bill just passed. That the
powers of Justice, humanity and right
eousness will prevail on the first Tues
day in February we have no doubt,
provided every one works with will to
defeat law which no one in the state
wants except liquor sellers. The law
will kill itself if understood by the
voters.

HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE,
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM?
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
to at least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured arc
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. 1t is capable of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
1t pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs,
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attcsted by the following tes-
tmonials sent entirely unsolicited to
DIR. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Systemic Catarrh.
Mrs. NJ. X. Bousch, Richmond, Va,
writes: 81 had catarrh all through my
system for two years and could get no
relief. ! was advisad to try Peruna and
] have taken five bottles of it and am
well and better now than l have been
for years. / can advise any one who
has catarrh of any part of the body to
take Peruna. My little girl who is
eleven years old had catarrh, but was
cured by Peruna. Before l began to
, take Peruna 1 was sick all the time, but
now l am entirely cured, and all praise
is due Peruna. Mrs. NJ. X. Bousch.
Catarrh of the Nose.
Mr.. Herman Ehlbe, 9j2 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
81 am entirely cured of my catarrh of
the nose by your Pcruna. My case was
a severe one californian Ehlke.
Cntarrh of the Throat.
B. II. Runyan, Salesville, o., writes:
81 suffered with catarrh of the throat
for five years. L was induced to try
! Peruna. l have used five bottles and am
perfectly well."-B. II. Runyan.
Cntarrh of The Ear.
Mr.. Archie Godin, 1SS Beech stseet,
Fitch burg, Mass, writes:
"Peruna has cured me of catarrh of
the middle ear. l feel better than have
for several years. "-Archie Godiu.

The evils of intemperance are strik-

except tramping (9S5), were only 2,499
Let the people vote Eyes" on the first
Tuesday in February and put the license
act into effect and this record Will be
doubled. Do you doubt this! The
records of nine out of every ten of the
small cities in Massachusetts show that
the arrests for drunkenness and other
crimes that are the product of the open
saloon, invariably double in license
years over those in no license years
Do we want the open saloon in Vermont
in the face of these facts? No,

The Legislature of 1902 has earned the
everlasting gratitude of the people for
so legislating that no state tax will be
required. This was largely due to the
untiring efforts of Representative Dartt
of Springfield, chairman of the ways and
means committee. He was among the
leaders in the House and is one of the
ablest and most level headed men in the
state. Remember Justus 5. Dart of
Springfield when you come TO pay your
taxes and find no state tax therein.

Against the Open Saloon.

A vigorous campaign is already being
prepared in Rutland, by those who favor
a retention of the prohlbtory law, for
the purpose of securing votes against
the proposed high license local-option
statute, when that measure is submitted
to the people. The matter has been
kept extremely quiet until now, and
very few except those who are directly
concerned in the movement have known
that anything of the kind was going on.
The prime mover in the fight is Wallace
ii. Batchelder of Brattleboro, who with
a stenOgrapher, is stopping at the Hotel
Bardwell and is, in connection with
several of the local clergymen and other
prominent Rutland temperance men,
getting ready to form club here for the
purpose of advancing the cause of tenn
perance. The exact nature of the club
and the number of members it is likely
to have is not known, but 1t is certain
that the warfare against high license
and local option Will be vigorous during
the present winter in Rutland. 1t is
understood that clubs have already been
formed in other places in this state and
are prepared to begin the fight for their
cause as soon as the proper time comes.

The st. Adams Messenger is opposed
to the open saloon and says its influence
is bad and that it is not needed in a
sparcely settled state like Vermont, yet
it pleads for the adoption of the license
act because majority of the license men
thought the saloon should be allowed to
enter Vermont. Nice reasoning that.

urcthra and bladder for two years. Al

care of my home doctor, and had been

What will the Local Option League
do, support or oppose the license Act?
If it supports the Act it should change
Its name, as that Act deliberately takes
away from three-fourths of the towns in
Vermont the right to choose between
license and no license in Section 81 ,
where it provides that licenses shall be
granted in nO-license towns if five per
cent. of the voters want them.

1t is well for every fair minded citizen
to note this fact. The license men killed
every bill to amend the prohbitory law.
If it is as bad as they have claimed, the
worst features should have been cut off,
case the license act is not approved by
the people.

The st. Adams Messenger is very
much troubled In spirit because the Yer
mont Temperance Federation was
formed, and asks why this work could
not be all done by the Anti-Saloon
League? AS the Messenger is opposed
to every one of the principles for which
the Federation and the Anti-Saloon
Leage stands, it has no interest whatever
in this subject. Let it attend to the
naming of the license leagues.
