from the tolls of the monster-safe so
long as it is out of reach-does such
an one want the open saloon on our
streets? Nay, nay, he has 10 argu-
ments at his command to convince us
that we want the licensed saloon in
the STATE of Vermont When with
his specious, discriminating tongue he
assured his hearers that because our
present law has it's defects, it would
be better to exchange It for another
that will blot the fair face of our
State with the open saloon; that,
because, under that law, a man must
perjure himself to get the liqoor he
wants to drink, that it will be better
to provide for him the opportunity to
get all he wants as free as water,
still, we were not convinced.
Well the Rev. Sam Small knew the
effect of sneer and ridicule and jest,
but what he did not take so much
into account was the sober second
thought of the morrow when his ar
guments should he shorn of their
trappings and brought into the pitt
less light of day. In the cooler NOM
ents of reflection the falseness of his
pretended tribute to the intelligence
of the voters, which in his next breath
he belied, will be seen and many of
those who listened to him will do
some thinking that will result in a
reaction. During the next few
months the question must be decided,
which will not only affect our State
but, as Mr.. Small said, every other
in the Union, for they are waiting
and watching to see what Vermont
will do.
appeal to the women to use every
effort to keep the opeN saloon from
our State. To you who heard and
you who will hear the Rev. Sam
Small, bethink yourselves of his
meaning. Look behind the flashing
wit, the facial contortions, to the
cynical sheer underlying his cold
blooded advocacy of a system that
will drag the fair fame of our State
in the mire and place in jeopardy the
safety and happiness of those we love.
Let Us rather struggle Ito conquer
the ills we have, than fly to those we
know not of. -

Inc country editor has his en-
couragements and discouragements,
yet he is, after all, rather a happy
fellow. He can stand more Bullets
from outraged fortune and still assert
I'VE are here to stay" than he who
follows any other calling. Live Mat
ter
AS rule this class of people "are
here to stay not from the fact that
they so assert but rather on account of
the negligence OF many of their sub
scribers in remitting a dollar or two
occasionally. Many newspaper read
ers seem inclined to the theory that
because an editor can get along with
one suit of clothes every five years
that one meal day will suffice. 1t
can't be done. A newspaper man can
not write brilliant editorials on an
empty stomach.

POLITICS IN THE WEST.

The secretary of agriculture who re-
Gently returned from the West declares
that the most prosperous conditions
exist throughout the West and that,
while there is no active interest in
national politics, the people are too
well satisfied to desire any change.
When asked to define the tariff
plank in the Iowa Republican plat
form, he said that it meant that the
people desired some modification of
the tariff schedules. That in this time
of plenty they considered such modifi-
cation could be judiciously made.
That while true to the principles of
protection, they believed there were
certain industries which no longer
needed the same protection that was
essential to their prosperity when
the Dingley law was enacted and they
expected the party to modify those
schedules. They were particularly
DESTROYS of a modification of the
schedules affecting trust made arti-
Giles, but were convinced that any re-
vision of the tariff could be intrusted
only to the Republican party.
Speaking of the President, he said
that the people of the West were all
enthusiastic in his support and even
the Democrats approved of him and
many expressed the wish that he was
their leader instead of the leader of
the Republicans.
"Mr. Roosevelt said the secretary,
." is the type of man westerners love.
He is fearless, honest and brilliant.
They are for him to man. They re-
gard with the greatest approval his at
tempt to regulate the trusts. They
consider that he is following the ra-
tional path in his effort to secure
that regulation through the courts
and by means of the Sherman law.
If that law should prove defective,
they believe Mr.. Roosevelt will so
inform Congress, pointing out its de
fects, and that Congress will prompt
ly remedy them. Such course, they
say, is in marked contrast to the revo-
lutionary methods advanced by Dem
ocratic leaders who would seek to de-
stroy the trusts by radical revision
of the tariff, thereby throwing hun
dreds of men out of employment, rem
dering worthless the Investments of
thousands of business men and under
mining the general prosperity with
which the country is blessed"

REFERENDUM PLANK
Adopted by the Republican State
Convention.

Resolved, That the Republican party
of Vermont adhcres to its long cherished
belief that the unrestricted traffic in iutox-
icating liquors is public evil, and that
material modification of the existing law
on that subject should be made only after
thorough discussion and mature delibera-
ton by the people; and we request the
State Legislature at its next session to
make provision for ascertaining the will of
the people by direct vote upon the accept
ance or rejection of license and local
option law regulating the sale of intoxica-
ting liquors, and further providing that
upon popular vote in favor of such law,
duly ascertained, the same shall be and
become a statute law of the State in force.

IN THE selection of candidates for election to territorial, county and precinct offices, it has always been customary in the past to hold county conventions. The last legis- lature provided a way by which this method of selection could be avoided-by holding primaries. It appears to us that this latter meth cd, which is in vogue throughout the country, should meet the ap- probation of every candidate, as it puts his fate in the hands of the people at large.
