Members of the Local Option League

In several issues of the Vermont

as you all know, were there placed

William Shakespeare, nor do l deem
it as profound as Macaulay's Essays
on Addison and Milton, or Burke's

say to the members of my party that
am still alive, and still firm be.

license and local option.
1t is not my intention to cast any
slurs, but l will say that the present

to recall to memory that little quota.

COMMUNICATIONS.

Editor Spirit Of the Age:
In your issue of Oct. 18th l find
an article copied from the st. Adams
Messenger, making comments as re-
CARDS the work done, or work which
might be done, by a majority OF the
members of the house of representa-
tives, while that same majority rep.
resent only about one fifth of the
population of the state. Or, in other
words, 81 per cent. of the people
can make laws for the other 10 per
cent.
Now, while it may be true that FL
per cent. of the population have
more representatives in the legisla'
ture than the other 70 per cent, the
idea that this small minority Of the
people can, through their repre-
sentatives, make laws for the rest Of
the state, is too absurd to merit a
moments consideration.
No man in the state knows better
than he who sits in the Messengers
editorial chair that the ballots that
the members cast only make known
the will of some force entirely out
side the legislative body.
One of the first lessons the writer
of this line received on coming in
personal contact with a legislative
body was from Charles K. Field OF
Brattleboro, then retired lawl er,
and the lesson was how he and An
drew Tracy of Woodstock used to
execute in the house the wishes of
the lobby, then under the leadership
of old "Roll" Gleason. 1t is harm.
less bit Of fiction that members in
dulge in thinking that they are law
makers
1t is hardly necessary for man
to be "member" to find out that
tie men who shape the legislation
OF the house are not more than eight
or ten in number. AS these 60, so
go the rest. True, ''one-fitth may
make laws" for the other four-tifths
of the population Of the state, but
as general rule the representatives
of that one-fifth might just as we'll
stay at home. Nobody would ever
find it out, if they would only keep
still, for they have about the same
effect upon Legislation as pint of
water spilled on to the ground up in
Avery's Gore would have on the
Connecticut river.
But the intent Of the Messengers
article was all right and no doubt
will be heartily Endorsed by every
intelligent voter in the state. What
we need is smaller number OF
"members" and more intelligence
and honesty. Could we have "a gov
ernor and ten honest councilmen,
who would meet once in five years
and regulate the affairs OF the state,
politically we would soon find our
selves we'll on towards the millen-
ium.

OVERLOOKED
There Are Patent Medicines and
Remedies Without Number
For Every Disease and Affiction but
One

For Every Disease and Affliction but
One.
A prominent physician was recently
asked why it was that there are so
many blood purifiers" nerve tonics'
and remedies for every ILL., except one OF
the most common and annoying, viz,
pies. He replied there are two rea-
sons. First, physicians and people in
general, have thought that the only
permonent cure for piles was a surgical
operation, that medicinal preparations
were simply palliative. Another rea-
son is, that piles is in no sense of the
word an imaginary disease; the suffer-
er from piles is very much aware of the
fact, and for this reason, the few So
called pile salves, ointments, etc. have
been short-lived. The patient very soon
discovered their inefficiency.
He says further fortunately, how
ever, there is a new remedy for piles,
which, judging from its rapidly growing
popularity, will soon take the place of
all other treatment: 1t has certainly
made astonishing cures in this ohsti-
nate disease and its merit has made it
famous among physicians and wherev-
er 1t has been introduced. This remedy
Is sold by all druggists under the name
Of Pyramid Pile Cure.
From the immediate relief which the
Pyramid Pile Cure gives in all forms
OF piles, many physicians supposed 1t
contained opium, cocaine or some sim
liar substance, but upon analysis 1t was
/. found to be perfectly free from anything
OF the kind. and that the instant relief
and cure Which follows it's use is rather
the result of it's remarkable healing,
soothing action on the parts affected.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is the only
remedy, except surgical operation,
which Immediately relieves and perma-
nently cures every form of piles.
It is sold by druggists at SO cents and
81. or by mail from Pyramid Drug Co..
