reelected as follows President, A.

The earnings of the road for the past
year showed an increase over any pre-
vious year Plans were laid for a
large number OF Improvements Dur
ING the past year 80 new flat cars were
added 10 the equipment OF the road.
II is stated that a controlling inter-
est in the new stock has already been
secured by the officials of the Central
Vermont railroad, representing the
Grand Trunk. These officials were
here recently and inspected the road
with this supposed object in view.
A. +. Sortwell OF Cambridge, Mass.
who owns the Montpelier & Wells
River railroad, is also understood to
be negotiating with the Grand Trunk
for the sale OF his road.
In case this trade is effected, the out
look Is that the Grand Trunk will con-
troll the freighting of granite and will
shut ont the Boston 4 Maine and the

siderable freight from the Montpelier

A Word in Regard TO Vermont Liquor
Laws.

Mr.. EDITOR: Vermont is essentially
farmers state, and legislation should
be for the farmer. The Vermont farm
er enjoys more blessings, with less ex-
ertion, than in any other state in the
union. He is contented without ex-
pensive Injuries. A saloon in town
would create a tempting, expensive
luxury. The thrifty farmer does not
want il.
is the disobedience of a good law
sufficient reason for repeating II? The
best laws ever given TO humanity have
been disregarded to a greater or less
extent by nine-tenths OF the civilized
world since the time OF Moses. No
man with a normally balanced mind
would wish these laws repealed, nor
can say we would do better without
them. On the contrary, we each know
someone whom we wish would live
closer to them. We, ourselves, fully
intend to obey them and know that we
are better for these higher aspirations.
Would not the referendum plan tend
TO weaken this excellent law, in which
Vermont is leading and other states
are gradually edging upP Would not
the referendum plan be trifiing with a
very serious matterP
Is it not probable that this prohibit
ton law has had much to do with the
recent noticeable appearance of Yer
monters in most important govern
ment matters and positions If one
generation under this law will produce
such a splendid lot of men, what will
be the result Of another 80 years under
lit?
There is a tendency on the part of
high license advocates to legislate Tor
the few troublesome, incorporate fell
lows who are very much in evidence
in the village, rather than tor the many
worthy boys now at home attending TO
their business, but who might be led
off by the allurements of licensed sa-
looms.
You have up for governor a prohibit
ton advocate and a sound strong
man in every sense. If you choose the
license side, you are surely assisting
in the establishment of a saloon in
your town. Whether you have one or
not, you are voting for it,

essarv to the dealer. The Rutland
News a week ago offered 500 Tor
proof of single violation of the pro-
hibitory law in Proctor within the past
year. and it is unclaimed. What 9th
er town OF equal size can show as clean

atrocious charge is to diseountenance

Many other things of like nature

Proctor. 1t remained for the partisans

SHAMEl

An old saying has been modernized
as follows :-''All is tair in love, war
and politics.
Yet there are recognized rules that
govern war. Prisoners are not TO be
butchered non-combatants are not to
be maltreated wells are not to bepois-
oned certain inhuman missiles are
not to be used, etc.
4 certain code OF morals and honor
governs rivalry in love-making.
Even in politics, the American re-
gard for honesty and fair play has
placed certain bounds that have gen
orally been observed. Although a
great deal OF latitude is left for the
proper discussion of men and issues,
it has not been customary to 90 be-
yond these bounds. Even the heated
controversies between the two princi-
pal political parties have commonly
been marked by degree of courtesy
and civility consonant with the prece-
dents and traditions of our country
and people.
Especially has this been true in Yer
mont. Although there have been fierce
contests in the past between Republi-
cans and Democrats, and between Re-
publicans themselves for party nomi-
nations, they have been conducted in
spirit of honor and fairness that has
left no sting of bitterness behind.
1t is for the present stage of the
present gubernatorial contest to mark
new and disgraceful departure. Not
satisfied with their success in promot-
ing their own candidate, or in fair and
reasonable criticisms of others, those
politicians and newspapers that are
supporting Gen. Mccullough have
adopted a course of conduct that will,
in due time, bring upon them the re-
proach of all good citizens, and cause
them to blush, if they have not lost all
sense of shame.
Whether they have done this wan
tonly, or whether because there was
no fair field for them to enter, we can
not say, but the fact shows Tor itself.
Disregarding all rules of decency,
these agencies, in their desperate at
tempts to make votes for their candi-
date, have stopped to the lowest pos
slble methods and the most vicious
falsehoods to traduce the character, to
malign the good name, and to misrep-
resent the record and the standing OF
the man they hate and fear-Fletcher
ID. Proctor. And the worst OF it is,
they know that the impression they
are seeking by every known power to
convey is a false one. Every one OF
these politicians and newspapers
knew-and now know-that Mr.. Proc
tor is a man Of clean character, of high
ability, and OF great value, Industrial
" and otherwise, to the state OF Yer.
mont. They know, too, that he is well
fitted to be governor Of the state. They
have said that he would doubtless be
governor sometime, and that they
should. at some future time, be glad

in any case they will bear REPETITION.
''Are you guilty or not guilty?" ask
ed the court clerk of a prisoner charged
with some trivial offense.

FOOLED HIM.
But in the Pleasant Way of Peace.

Good thing some men are married.
Their wives keep a sensible watch
over them, and have a way to help
overcome their troubles.
Mr.. e. Lewis, of Shaniko, Or, was
located for several years at various
points in South America and fell into
the native custom of frequently drink
ing coffee. He says: 81 took to using it
the same as those nervous. excitable
people in South and Central America.
They make yerys black coffee and it
becomes moM or less an intoxicating
beverage. AT. the end of about four
months | began having severe sick
headaches and nervousness, but sup
posed it wasSfronl the tropical sun. At
last my wife BECAME alarmed at my
headaches and stomach trouble She
tried to induce me to quit drinking
coffee, laying Tny4 trouble to that, but
I continued b use it.
She read of Postum Food Coffee, and
ordered some from the States, but kept
it a secret from me. The very first
time she made it.. when I came in for
my coffee and roll, I noticed that pc
culiar, pleasant favor Of Postum, and
asked her what itiwas. She said it was
a new brand Of coffee and asked me
how I liked it. 1 tried two cups of it
with rich Leche- de- Cheua,' which is
used by everyone as milk in Panama,
and thought it excellent. After a
couple of days my headaches stopped,
and in a short while my nervousness
disappeared as if by magic. I have
been using nothing but Postum for the
past year, and have been completely
cured. and my wife has also been cur
ed of constipation by changing to
Postum, and we shall Aever go back to
coffee again"

Prof. M. Tusuri, assistant professor
of the social department Of the Toxic
Imperial university in Japan, was at
the Merchants last night on his way
to Japan, after two years investigation
Of social conditions in Europe and
America.
Il am fortunate to pass through
America in the political season." he
said smilingly. "It has shown me a
new side to your character. I think
you Americans are too much in earnest
about your politics. You lack a sense
Of humor in things political. I see
your candidates constantly shaking
hands with men they have never met
before and in whom they can have no
possible interest. All the time they are
wondering which way they are going to
vote. But it is the vote they want. The
men know it, the politicians know it
and yet you are so-what do you call it
dead in earnest. I wonder you don't
laugh in each others faces.
Situation Is Embarrassing.
Your political parties remind me Of
two men, each chasing the other around
a circle and crying, stop theft at the
top of their voices. Of course, I I'M
derstand, that they are the balance
wheel of your system, yet even bal
ance wheel is at times an embarrassing
thing.
Then you talk, talk, talk about is
sues. Why issues are only carts men
are trying to ride to Office on. You are
no wiser than we are"
"But these issues represent public
policies" was objected.
Eyes, but you have too many poll
cies. Your government is too much in
business. When you get a government
in business you have trouble keeping
the rascals and SPECTATORS out. 1t is
easy to make issues. They are only
what somebody wants and what some
one else doesn't want the other man to
get. In my own land we are learning
some of your virtues and many Of your
faults. We, too, are getting to hurry,
hurry, hurry. We want to live life up
fast so as to get enough of it. But let
us talk about something else, some
thing more interesting" and here the
professor smiled queer little smile.
Praises American Women.
"Your American women are source
Of constant wonder to me, cannot stop
thinking of them. They are grand
things, wonderful, but Japanese can
never think of them as women. They
are to us as beings from another world.
They know more politics than a geisha
girl; they understand better how to
manage things than most Japanese
men. They are so bold and confident,
they can run business, they manage
papers, they write books, they teach
schools, they do anything. They even
get into politics and hold Office. They
know as much of what the world is
doing as the men and yet they are
good wives. Yes, they are admirable
in way, but it is not our Japanese
way"
