numerous departments especially design

The housekeeper5' department OF the
Daily and Sunday Globe is one OF the
most valuable features ever printed IN
a newspaper. Ia this department the
brightest cooks, needlewomen, house
keepers, home managers and mothers ex-

Comments on County Politics.

work for the good health of every citizen,

every good cause, either local, county or
state is abundant evidence that 1t elected
to the office of senator he will give a
good account of himself and upholi the
previous record of the county, Groton
Times.
Danville will present the name OF Hon.
Stephen D. Morse in the coming county
convention for senator. Judge Morse is
a strong man and would certainly lie an
honor to the county as SENATOR North
Troy Palladium.
David E. Porter, the present incumbent
is a candidate for reelection and there
seems to be a growing demand from al
parts of the county that he ought TIC
have a second term. Ordinarily Gale
donna S states attorneys have been given
a second term. If practice makes more
perfect, this is certainly the proper thing
to do. During his present term, Mr. Por
ter has been a faithful official, but has
been considerably handicapped by sick
ness, although today he is fully restored
to health and strength. In his absence
the work OF the office has always beer
carefully looked after by his law partner
Frank E. Thompson. Mr.. Porter has
always been a thorough beleverin and g
consistent advocate of the present pro
hibitory law. He has show that he ha:

What a Vote for Clement Means.

Clement carries the state, and it's high

To say that a dog can whip his
weight in wildcats" is to pay about the
highest tribute to his strength, courage
and activity, and there are very few
dogs that would care to earn such a
tribute if they understood all it implied
Not that wildcat is of a specially ag-
gressive disposition. On the contrary,
he would sooner mind his own business
any time than fight. So anxious is he
as a rule to keep out of trouble that he
has often been accused of cowardice,
but he has on so many occasions given
evidence of the most desperate cour-
age that it is doubtful if the accusation
is fair one When wounded or at bay,
he is perhaps as dangerous as any crea'
ture of his size.

Our Trade with Canada.

Hon. George n. Dale OF Island Pond,
who representsth the United States govern
ment as consul at Coaticook, P. Q has
written an interesting and suggestive re-
port to the state department concerning
our trade in that part Of Canada. He
says:
This country has been slow in adopt
ing the finer qualities of machinery, vehi,
Giles, and especially farming implements,
but it is making progress in this dirtc-
ton and the impression is general that
the United States makes the best ma
chinerv. But dealers say that they are
prevented from ord ring from the United
States by the high rate of duties here.
From my observation | believe that
there is a decline in the sale of American
goods, though perhaps this is not true OF
all parts OF he Dominion. Dealers here
are buving in the interior and west OF
Canada, wagons, carriages, ploughs and
many farming implements, as well as
pianos, etc. American sewing machines
maintain their position in Canadian
markets as do some OF the finer qualities
Of sIver-plated wares. American brass
manufactures are sold here, because they
are superior to any that can be manu-
featured in Canada. But one cannot tail
to be impressed, in going through the es-.
adjustments here, with the scarcity OF
American goods. Besides the tariff an
other great hindrance to our trade is the
lack Of energy in keeping it up. To do
this, and to introduce anything new, re-
quires the persistent and intelligent et-
forts of American 'drummers.

The DUTY of the Hour.

Our high license friends are trying to
spread the report that St. Johnsbury is
opposed to the prohibitory law and
ready for a change. Did it look that
way at the mass meeting Sunday night,
when 1000 people gathered in Music Hall
and not only attentively listened, but
frequently appauded the speakers 1t
was one of the most notable gatherings
ever held in this town and fitting pre-
Jude to Thursday nights rally, when it is
safe to say there will be standing room
only. The speakers had an inspiring
audience and their addresses were con-
vincing. The friends of the prohibitory
law have become thoroughly aroused to
the situation and their duty will not end
end until next September, when repre-
sentative is chosen that is opposed to
local option in any form. In the mean.
time it is the citizens duty to attend the
temperance rally Thursday night, and, i
be is a republican, to attend Friday
nights caucus and vote against th'
Clement ticket. Vermont does not neet
or want a change to the open saloon o
the licensed drug store. The citizen whc
loves the reputation OF this fair tow
should hesitate long before he casts
ballot that will hasten this change. TIL
friends cf temperance should rally arouu
their standard and takcrenewed courag

A Rerfinent nmrrY.

Candidate Clement is running in the in
terest of local option and Percival W.
Clement only. He hopes to 60 into the
convention with 200 delegates. This
would leave 52S delegates to be divided
between Gen. Mccullough and Col. Proc
tor, or, say 264 each, which would con-
stitute very pretty deadlock. Suppose
he only gets one-haIf that number and
leave 314 each for the other two, there is
still no nomination, as it requires 365 for
choice. Query-what kind Of cond-
ton will he impose on the convention as
the price of these necessary votes ?-[ Yer

What Proctor Does for His Employees.

Those who know the situationof affairs
in the town of Proctor give but little
attention t. the malicious falsehOods
that are being circulated for political
purposes to prejndice the minds of the
people against Fletcher D. Proctor as a
candidate for governor. AS the Barre
Telegram well says:
There is no community in Vermont
where the working people are more
prosperous and better cared for than
they are in that town. There is no
manufacturing concern in the state or in
New England that looks after the inter
ests of its employees more humanely
than does the Proctor Marble company.
There is no other concern that provides
free insurance policies and free hospital
for its workingmen, and there is no
other place in New England where work
ing people can live as cheaply as those
who have the benefit of the Proctor Cor
poration store and the cheap rentals OF
the Proctor tenement houses, where pro-
visions are bought at almost wholesale
prices, and where the highest rentals are
from 81 to $40 per month. There is no
other labor town in the country where
the manager of a large corporation ever
received such a recognition OF popularity
as that given to Fletcher l.. Proctor, two
years ago, when he received the unani
nous election of the people as their rep
tesentative at the state legislature
Since he entered the field as a candidate
tor governor his campaign has been

A Call for Fair Play.

For governor the Herald believes that
Fletcher D. Proctor is more favorably
considered and is frmer in the confidence
of the rank and file of the republican
party in Vermont than any other man
mentioned in connection with this office.
Our people have become assured of his
irreproachable character, his ability and
general fitness for the office. The Herald
next urges republicans to abstain from
the heated, angry discussions OF men, the
abuse and villlhcation now being in
dulged in, and discuss measures not men,
leaving it to the wisdom of the conven-
ton to select the best standard bearers
We do not like too see the truest and fore
most leaders of our party denounced in
our own household. - Essex County

For Woman's Suffrage.

The causeof womans suffrage has two
able supporters in Senator Hoar and
Secretary Long, Senator Hoar wrote
the following letter when he was in the
midst of the great debate in the Senate
chamber on the Philippines:
Washington, D. c., May %, 1902.
My Dear Miss Blackwell: 1t will not
be in my power to attend the meeting of
the Woman's Suffrage Association to be
held in Boston on Anniversary Week.
But am glad to express my continued
interest in the cause, and my belief that
there will never be a perfect republic in
which the vote OF woman is not counted
in ascertainiug the public will, which
must in the end prevail in all republics.

Faithfully yours, Geo. + Hoar.

The man on the stage who does the
trick of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with smile. He
knows he can get out of the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in
the woods and let Indian captors bind
him to a tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly of mankind is to passively submit
to the fastening of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear.
