From a Business Standpoint.
EDITOR CALEDoNIAN:

EDITOR CALIFORNIAN:
A large majority of the st. Johnsbury
people are quite content to look on while
the citizens of certain other Yer.
mont towns wrestle with the open
saloon; and, if they keep eyes and ears
open, they are more than likely to dis
cover, in the experiences OF these other
towns, some excellent reasons Tor ad-
herring rigidly to their already expressed
belief that our own town has no use for
the open saloon.
During the very short time Vermont
has had to do with her new law it has
been thoroughly demonstrated, by the
records in towns where license prevails,
that, from mere cold-blooded business
standpoint, that sort of Temperance"
scheme works the wrong way.
At Montpelier the other day the writer
heard business man declare, in rather
strong English, his opinion Of the open
saloon and its effect on the workingmep.
One OF his employes-a man on whom he
depended largely for the proper conduct
OF his business-had succumbed to the
temptations of the open saloon the night
before, become involved in a drunken
fight, and was made utterly unfit for
duty. The business man in question put
in a yes" vote at the city meeting in
March; but after telling his experiences
with his help he said. very forcibly:
"If | ever vote for license again you can
kick me off the premises. I've got enough
fit" J.W.S.

In the death of Paul Blouet, which re.
Gently occurred at his home in Paris, the
world loses brilliant wit and a clever
writer. He is better known as MAX
O'Rell" and has been a general favorite
and frequent visitor in the United States.
He has appeared once in the St. Johns.
bury lecture course and delighted all by
his humor and kindly satire.

We are Seven.

I met a little girl of eight
Whose family was athletic,
And that was how came to hear
This Wordsworth tale pathetic.
I'm living all alone" she said,
Though really we are seven;
But pa and ma are on the links,
And Toms on the eleven.
Ny sister Kate plays basket ball,
Her team is always winner;
One brother trains for Harvard's crew,
And cannot cat our dinner.
Then Johnny Joined the base bali nine,
He all the time plays matches,
And wears cage upon his face
While every ball he catches.
Yes, we are really seven, sir,
But our years won't be many;
1, too, will grow up strenuous,
And then we won't be any"

The w. c. T. U. Against Smoot.

At the national convention of the Wo.
mans Christian Temperance Union held
in Cincinnati this week, among the re.
solutions adopted was one denouncine
Reed Smcot, recently elected United
States Senator from Utah. The resolu-
ton reads:
1--WE believed that polygamy is both
taught and practiced in the United
States, and that there is abundant proof
to substantiate the claim that Utah has
broken faith with the United States in
this matter. We ask Congress to provide
for an amendment to the Constitution of
the United States forever prohibiting poly
gamy. We also believed that an apostle of
the Mormon hierarchy cannot be loyal
citizen of this Republic because of his
VOWS to another organization separate
and distinct from the United States of
America and not subordinate to it, but
claiming superiority over it. We, there
fore, ask that Mr.. Reed Smoot be ex
cluded from the United States Senate on
the ground that his highest allegiance is
given to government other than that of
the United States
We believe this to be a civil question,
which should not be obscured by religious
or ecclesiastical claims.'

Hannah oyster and Good Roads Bills,

B. Howard Haman, Esq, of the Baltl-
more bar, and author of the oyster and
good roads bills which bear his name,
will address meeting in Rising Sun hall
this afternoon in the interest of the pro-
posed measures which will be introduced
for enactment at the forthcoming session
of the legislature. 1t is to be hoped that
a large audience will be present to hear
the features of these benefcent measures
discussed, as the passage of the bills de-
ponds upon the sentiment of the constit-
uents of the legislators.
While the proposed measures have
been before the people for several years,
the farmers in this immediate section have
not paid particular attention to the merits
or dement's of the bills, on the general
supposition that they were intended more
particularly to affect the tidewater coun-
ties The bills however, contain features
which will directly affect every citizen in
Cecil county, as we'll as any other portion
of the State. By the proposed legislation
the declining oyster industry of the State
will be revived aud at the same time the
State exchequer will be enriched many
thousands of dollars annually from the
revenues to be derived from leasing the
barren bottoms OF the Chesapeake for
oyster culture. This money it is proposed
shall be set apart for the making and
maintenance of public roads, each county
to receive its proportionate share. This
is the point which should interest every
farmer in Cecil county to such an extent
that he will be anxious to have his name
enrolled upon one of the numerous petit
tions which will be presented to the next
Legislature for the passage of these bills.
Let there be large turnout this after
noon to hear Mr.. Haman present the
features in detail.

A bill has been introduced in
Congress to increase the salary of

them thirty days vacation.
Among the bills to be considered
by Congress is one introduced by
Representative Mudd, of Maryland,
for the construction of an inland
waterway to connect the Delaware
and Chesapeake bays, the canal
to cost not more than $40, 900.
The Agricultural Department
has begun the annual free distribu-
ton of seed. More than 1000 tons
of seed in 45,0OO,O0O packets will

Congress is entitled to II, 800 pack
ages of five different varieties. Be-
sides these the department will
distribute 100000 packages through

The Reform Movement.

Standing on the banks of the Missouri
river at some favored point, the water
seems hurriedly, but peacefully, rushing
on toward the sea. The next day we may
come to the same point and instead of
river we find huge sand-bar and no
water at all except far away in the dis
tance. A dam has been constructed by
unseen hands in single night. But the
Missouri river still flows to the sea. So it
is with the evolution of man. So it
is with the progress of reform. 1t may
be turned aside. 1t may be checked for
time, but onward it ever goes.
Mark Hanna built a dam across the
onward movement when he planned to
capture the press of the United States.
The rising waters pressed heavily against
it in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900.
Many times it appeared that it was giving
away, but it held. Since then the waters
have somewhat subsidized, but the day is
coming when the waters will press against
it with uncomfortable force and the
structure will fall. The. demand for in
formation comes from every direction.
Lulled to quietness by little relief from
republican, Cleveland soup house distress,
the people have allowed plutocracy to
gain another victory and upon the heels
of that victory will come more extortion
and robbery of the toiling masses. That
is what plutocracy fought for, and to the
victor belongs the spoils.
1t seems from all that can be gathered
that an effort will be made in the repub-
lican party to nominate Mark Hanna or
some man of his sort. If Roosevelt
secures the nomination, then all of the
Wall street millions will be thrown to the
support of the democratic party, for every
one now comedies that the next demo-
cratic nominee will be Wall street man.
All that means that there is going to be
great breaking up of party lines in the
near future. The day of bi-party govern
ment is nearing its end. There will be in
the future in the United States, as there
has been for long time, more than two
powerful parties in Germany, France and
to some extent in England. There will
be hundreds of thousands of men, in both
the democratic and republican parties,
seeking new political affiliations after the
coming panic.
The plan of plutocracy to bold the gov
eminent will be, in the future as in the
past, to keep the voters in ignorance by
controlling the press. There are millions
of voters who today do not know the
meaning of the word ratio or that the
republican party has coined millions
upon millions of silver since it came back
to power. The hope of reform is in ex-
tending the circulation of the populist
press.-Nebraska Independent.

Though fraught with defeat for the re-
publ;cans the recent campaign, termin'
ating i'll the election of Edwin Warheld
as Governor, has developed new leader,
who, in all probability, will take the
reins from Senator McComas. 1t is the
general belief among republicans that
Stephenson A. Williams, the defeated
pubernatorial candidate, will hereafter be
the recognized leader of the party in the
State, as he is man who can be claimed
by neither faction and who undoubtedly
has the ear of President Roosevelt.

The Inauguration of Governor-elect
Edwin Warfeld will take place at An
napolis on Wednesday, Jan. 10.
An exchange inquiries what Senator
Aldrich is likely to do with the currency
bill, after citing the fact that he is the
personal representative of the Standard
Oil monopoly in the United States Senate
and has the bill in charge. The Standard
Oil company has a syndicate of banks
throughout the country, and Mr.. Rookie
Teller is in favor of asset curreny.

turns of the recent election is that from

he is therefore declared elected to that
Office. Mr.. Bunting is lawyer and an
editor, but by the vote of one he is also

Among the antitrust and monopoly
bills which have SO far been introduced
in Congress, and which no doubt will be
promptly pigeon, holed, is one to regulate
the profit on articles of necessity manu-
featured by persons having monopoly
of the same, the regulation to be made
by the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and bill making it the duty of the
Attorney General to bring proceedings TO
dissolve monopolies charging exhorbi-
tant prices for articles of necessity.
Another bill of the same description
introduced provides for the placing of all
trust made articles on the free list, and
to reduce the rate of duty on all articles
manufactured in the United States and
sold more cheaply abroad than in this
country.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come pr a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
Is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Many petitions have been received by
the Senate from every part of the coun-
try, asking that Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah be expelled from the Senate, because
he is an apostle of the Mormon Church,
which claims supreme authority to con
troll its members in civil as we'll as relig-
ious affairs, and has taken an oath of
highest allegiance to government other
than that of the United States of Amer
lea. The petitions show that thousands
of printed blanks were distributed
throughout the country with instructions
to sign and send them to the United States
Senators. The case is referred to the
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
and Senator Hoar claimed that as the
question was judicial one the petitions
were as much out of order as if they were
sent in a case pending in the Supreme
Court. Senator Dubois of Idaho denied
this, saying, II contend that these various
organizations of Christian men and
women have right to petition the Sen.
ate and that it is their duty to do so.
They represent the moral thought of the
country and shonld not be discouraged"
Most of the signers of the petitions were
members of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, and other women's
and religious organizations. There seems
to be very slight chance of forcing Sen
ator Smoot to give up his seat.
