ington by Frank PIumley.
The meeting was called to order by
the chairman, C. s. Emery of Chelsea,
and the Rev. J. l.. Sewall acted as

encouraging. No definite action was
taken at the meeting but plans for or
CARNATIONS in towns and counties
were discussed and the matter o.
speakers were talked over to some
extent but no program was outlined
The Burlington Free Press says of the

will tend toward the one object o
getting the people out to vote ON the
third of February.

Doctrine that Counts.

When well-known men like Felix
McGettrick breaches a doctrine like
that herewith reproduced, it takes
lot of cheap talk about the prohibi-
tory law not prohibiting to over
come it. In all truth and candor we
believe the fact indicated in the inter-
view, that there is an atmosphere OF
lawlessness surrounding a license
law which no amount of talk can
neutralize. Conditions in st. Adams
are no exceptions to the general rule.
Mr.. McGettrick says in an interview
with the st. Adams Messenger
1.-THE action of the chronic rum
sellers, men who have for years prid-
ed themselves on their ability to defy
the law and enrich themselves, vio-
lating the prohibitory law, now
brazenly and defiantly throwing
open the bars before the new law
goes into effect, is evidence of their
purpose to monopolize or control
the business in the event of the law S
acceptance by the people, and in my
Judgment will drive thousands OF
the friends of local option to oppose
the measure as they are not the class
of men that good citizens wish to see
hold licenses. Men who have made
it their business to violate the pro-
hibitory law and who have made
fortunes in that business will disre-
gard the wholesome provision of a
license law with the same impunity
if they can make money by SO doing"

Railroad Accident--Flye Killed.

Shortly after five O'Clock last Fri
day evening the north bound flyer
from New York, over the Rutland
railroad, and a wild engine, going
from Burlington between that city
and Shelburne Farms, came together
The two engineers and 6remen were
killed. The passengers were badly
shaken up but none were seriously
injured.
The dead are Dennis Mahoney,
engineer Of the express of Rutland !;
r. Convey, engineer of the wild en-
CINE, of Rutland; James Fitzpatrick,
fireman on the express, of Ticonder-
~oga, NY; D. M. Chase, fireman on
the wild engine, of Rutland, and
John Cochran, of Rutland. M. L.
HILL, porter of the Pullman car, in
jured about the head, not serious
Thomas A. Anstey, express messen-
ger of st. Adams, injured about the
head; Conductor E. D. Welck, injured
about the body; L. T. Sheehan,
| brakeman, not serious.
The cause of the accident is I'M
known but the theory of the officials
of the Rutland road, as stated by
DR.. Webb, is that Engineer Convey,
who had charge of the wild engine,
figured that the flyer would be late
as it has been very frequently, and
that he could reach Shelburne in
time to pass the train there. The
flyer was exactly on time, however,
and met the engine when only about
a mile north of Shelburne.
The engines were so completely de-
molished that they will be worthless
except for old iron. The tender OF
one was turned squarely across the
track while the other was damaged
beyond repair. A wrecking train
was ordered from Rutland and short
ly after ten o'clock the track was
cleared.

| RANDALL sHATTUCK.
Randall Shattuck, whose sudden death
was mentioned last week, was born in
Belvidere, VT, April 4, 1871. He lived
for upwards of fifty years in his native
town. He married Miss Tillotson and
eight children blessed the happy union.
! Three of them died in early life and
three survive him. In 1864 he moved
to Waterville and in Feb, 1866, he pur-
chased the farm in this town known as
the Luke Carpenter farm, where he and
his estimable wife lived for thirty years.
1t was while living on that farm they
| buried their youngest son, which att1lc'
ton was severely felt by them, as the
weight of years was pressing heavily up
on them. In 1896 they moved into the
house with their oldest son, Martin
Shattuck, where they received the care
and attention of the family. But loving
care cannot keep the treasures when the
message comes, and Dec. 6, 1898, the
loving wife and mother passed away.
Since that time he has been tenderly
cared for in the family of the same son.
In spite Of his many years he enjoyed a
comfortable degree of health until very
recently. The summons came very sud
denly at the last He was a man uni
versally respected, and he has held sew
eral positions of trust in the towns where
he resided. His funeral was largely at
tended New Years day, the Rev. E. G..
French of Johnson preaching very in
teresting sermon. Friends from out of
town who attended the funeral were :
Judge Shattuck, Chauncy Shattuck and
sister from Waterville; Chas. Tillotson
and wife and Mrs. HutChins from Lowell !;
Mr.. and Mrs. Merton ShattuCk from

Vote Yes, Young Man.

In the midst of all the discussion as
between license and prohibition, let
us not forget the personal EQUATION.
For instance: Did any young man
EVER grow to middle life and full ma
turity, or to the time when be saw
the years sloping on toward old age,
and regret that he had made absti-
nenc9 from the use Of intoxicating
liquors a rule of his life? Thousands
beyond the numbering have come to
that time of their lives and have gone
to their graves filed with vain regret
and biting remOrse because they gave
the drink habit a chance to bind them
fast in their early years. However a
young man may theoriz9 about the
best way to control the liquor tratfic,
here is a question of his own control
of himself which he may well consider
on the threshold of this new year.
"In all things temperance" is indeed
good rule of life, but in the use u
intOxicants abstinence is a far better
rule as human society is now put to-
gether. Think this over with your
self, young man, and on the reteren-
dun question. Shall leave intOXi-
eating liquor alone, rs beverage,
during the year 1908? vote Yes, and
stick to if. You wont be sorry

Concerning the Referendum.

We cannot say what the rest OF
the State will do, but this section of
Vermont will give most decided
"No" to the acceptance of the new
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. law.
1t will be well for us all to take
into consideration the difference in
voting for a choice of the present pro-
hibitory law and the new hcense-lo-
cal-option measure, and the condi-
ton that prompted so large a vote,
seemingly against prohibition, last
fall.
At the vote in the fall there was no
question but large majority Of the
voters in Vermont favored a change
in the liquor laws, and we believe
they so do at this time, but there are
large number who voted for that
change, who will not vote to accept
the license measure, for they believe
it will be of more harm to the State
than the old law.
What these voters did want was a
modification Of the old law or the
adoption of a new measure having
the features of the Battell bill, and it
is our opinion that the State at large
will hold the old law until they can
have such features added.
That Vermont will vote for the sa-
loon we do not for a moment believe
But whatever the choice of the
voters may be on the referendum, we
believe the agitation, and thorough
sitting of the good features evolved
in both measures will eventually re-
dound to the good of the State and
the enactment of law, not copied
from any particular state, but one
thoroughly Vermont in its construc-
ton and adapted to the conditions
that are peculiar to the State.
We believe there are a goodly num-
Der of the members of the legislature,
just closed, who voted for the high
license-local-option law to save the
party pledge, as they saw it, who
will vote mo" at the coming refer
endum, as their unrestricted choice.
In estimating the vote to be cast
on the referendum it will be best to
consider the condition existing in the
fall and its subsequent influence upon
the members of the legislature who
believed that the Republican party
called for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
law and their voting in accordance
with the same rather than from their
personal belief. In other words they
made self subservient to party

proverbs

When the butter won't
come put 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.
