a few years ago, who, however, did
not graduate, but later went to college.
Herbert G. Wright graduated from the
state university, is now practicing law
in Des Moines, and making success OF
life.
Marshalltown entertained this week
a representative gathering OF the
states third party prohibitionists. who
assembled in their annual convention.
The convention was harmonious in
nearly every particular, with the ex-
ception of the adoption of the preamble
to and certain portions OF the plat
form. Squabbles of this kind are to
be expected. however, in all political!
gatherings, and are soon forgotten
Some, however. are of the opinion that
the platform. as adopted, is not the
vote getter it would have been without
some of the alterations made.
The business interests Of the city
have been stimulated to marked de-
gree by the reopening of the Rhoades-
Carmean buggy factory, which has
now in it's employ forty men, and ex-
poets to have the number doubled with
in a fortnight. With the big plant in
operation, and the promise of the glu
cose starting manufacturing in the fall.
encouragement is apparent. The shut
ting down of business, especially old
institutions that have been looked upon
as fixed industries, always has ten
dency to discourage, and permits the
blues to become contagious. What
Marshalltown wants is to get all OF its
present industries in operation, and go
after new ones at the same time. a
start in the right direction will bring
its own results, but it appears to be
the fact that when people are discour-
aged the Knockers" are surest to have
their hammers out.
In a few weeks the people of this
city will be given an opportunity to
vote permission to an interurban COM
pany to lay tracks over several streets
matter now stands, that no opposition
is to be made to the interurban enter
prise by the Marshalltown Light,
Power & Railway Company. The lat
ter has already offered to extend right
of way privileges over its lines to the
new company upon reasonable terms
and it begins to look as tho MARSHALL
town could put thru one enterprise
without it's citizens becoming embroiled
in a family row. God speed to the in
terurban There is no one institution
yet suggested that can ever confer upon
this community the direct commercial
benefits that will come from an inter-
urban electric road entering this city
and centering here so that passengers
boarding it's cars, will be brought to
Marshalltown to spend their money.

Granting that there are 200 unlicensed
dives in Burlington, what is there
about the passage of the license law
that will put them out of business, ex-
cept the loss of that portion OF their
patronage which prefers the open sa-
loon to drink in? This might curtail
the revenues of the unlicensed places
considerably, and might reduce their
number, but enough would still re-
main to serve any customers who
found it easier or more accessible to
procure drink therein. With this re-
suit, where would the improvement
come in? If, under all the hot irons OF
prohibition, there are still 200 dives
in Burlington, how can anyone figure
that removing the pressure to large
extent would Danish them? Are the
keepers to be deferred by mild threats
when even permanent injunctions have
proved unavailing ?-Randolph Herald.
Only this, that the manhood and self
respect in man will rebel at going into
a dive when he can go to respectable
place. No self respecting man will
break law unless he gets in corner.
Nearly all crimes are committed to
crafty ambition and desire of one kind
or another. Take away the ambition or
desire, or crafty them in another way
and you would soon be without crime.
As we have stated before, you cannot
legislate away thirst; the only way
to get rid of it is to crafty it or stit1e
it. Besides all this, no law can be en-
forced which has not the support of the
people at it's back-even murder is toll
Grated in some sections-and for this rea-
son the prohibitory law of Vermont has
never been nor ever can be enforced.
Why, bless you, the very men whose
duty it is to enforce it have been known
to be its most frequent violators. In
functions or laws cannot Stake a thirst I;
when they do, prohibition will be sue
cess and not until they do. This should
be apparent to all, even to Bro. John

Thu Reformer's Temperance Position.

In advocating the new license law
the Reformer in no wise wishes TO DC
understood as looking lightly upon in
temperance, or as favoring the multi
plying of saloons. We believe in tom
perance as one of the prime necessities
for the progress and happiness OF man
kind: and if we could Danish from the
heart of man forever the inordinate de-
sire for strong drink which has always
been one of the greatest obstacles 10
the advancement of the human race
we would gladly do it.
But it does not follow that, because
one believes in temperance and wants
to see it promoted, one must also be-
lieye in the retention of the present So
called prohibtory law. A long exper-
fence has shown that under this law
liouor-selling has flourished and in
temperance has become secret vice
sneaking, lying, soul-destroying
shame, unutterably degrading to any
community.
Because, therefore. this law being
arbitrary and unjust, does not ac-
complish its purpose, and is IN no
sense helpful to humanity, but rather
demoralizing, the Reformer believes IN
renouncing it and in bringing this hid
den traffic to the light where 1T can be
watched and restricted; and where IN
temperance will be simply lntemper-
ance and not something infinitely
lower.
The new license law is admittedly
faulty, but it is also admitted that 1t
has good, strong points. License leg
islation is new to Vermont and our
able and we'll meaning legislators who
recently struggled with it should not
be censured too severely if few errors
of Judgment, as we'll as of grammatical
construction, have crept into the new
law The measure is the result OF long
and laborious consideration, the final
merging of pronounced and widely
VARYING views on this vital sub
ject; and, as such, worth trying.
Future legislation may amend such
faults as experience may designate and
careful and conscientious effort in this
line bring it up to the perfection OF
legal legislation. No law, however,
prohibitory or license, is, or ever can
be, wise or powerful enough to make
man temperate.
The Reformer rejoices that by the
local option provisions of the new law,
it will still be possible for towns,
majority of whose people so desire, to
choose prohibition. We have due def
erence for all honest opinion on this
great question and we believe in the
right of each community, as OF each
person. to decide for itself as to meth
DDS of moral betterment.
This is the Reformer's position upon
the temperance question and we are not
ashamed of it.

Place savings bank and an open sa-
loon in Middlebury side by side; which
would get the most money from the
working man ?-Middlebury Register.
1t depends altogether on the man. II
he purposes to save money, neither the
presence of an open saloon or the alb
sence of savings bank will hinder
him from doing so; but if liquor is his
desire, neither the presence of an open
savings bank or the absence of an open
saloon will prevent him from spending
his money for liquor. If there is no
open saloon, there are always plenty of
hidden ones. A mans purposes and
desires mould his actions, mostly, and
they are the only field for any real tenn
perance reform.

AN UNUSUAL OFFER.
Geo. z. Greene guarantees Ml-o-na
to cure dyspepsia.

10 cure uySPcPS'os
Your money back if you want it is
the way in which Geo. E. Greene, the
popular druggist, is selling Mi-o-na,
the great dyspepsia remedy.
This is an unusual plan, but MILO
ma has so much merit and is SO almost
invariably successful in curing all
forms of indigestion that Geo. E.
Greene runs but little, risk in selling
under a guarantee of this kind.
Do not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspepsia.
Mi-o-na will cure you. If it does not,
tell Mr.. Greene that you want your
money back and he will cheerfully re-
fund it.
A change for the better will be seen
from the first few doses of Mi-o-na and
its continued use will soon give per-
feet digestion and enjoyment of food.
Mi-o-na has been so uniformly sue
cessful and made SO many remarkable
cures that every box is sold under
positive guarantee to refund the money
if it does not cure. What fairer prop
osition could be made?
Geo. E. Greene gives his personal
guarantee of "money back if you want
it's with every box of Mi-o-na that he
sells. A guarantee like this speaks
volumes for the merit of the remedy.

Neither Bishop Hall nor any other

Advices received from Burlington and
other large centers indicate that the
keepers of legal bars are fighting the
new license act tooth and nail Thus
we find the prohibitionists and the sa-
loon keepers for the first time hand in
hand. What comment on the rotten
ness of the present law !-Vergennes
Enterprise.
Some newspapers have been enquir-
ing where P. w. Clement is in this ref
erendum fight that is now on, and
Clement has responded by coming out
of retirement and taking the stump.
Possibly, when the smoke of battle is
cleared, those prohibitionist newspap-
ers will wish that they hadn't called
Clement out, for as vote getter he
has demonstrated a marked ability.
We expect to see the license local OPP
tion movement considerably strength
ened by Mr.. Clement in the next few
weeks. Barre Times.

1t becomes clearer every day that
what the license lawmakers needed. at
their elbows was an expert technical
lawyer. Montpelier Journal.
For Heavens sake, Mr.. Ropes, don't
advocate the further use of expert
technical lawyers. That's what caused
all the trouble with the present pro-
hibitory law. What we need is plain,
simple laws which say just what they
mean and mean just what they say.

Only short time now and the wat
ers of high license and prohibition
will be cleared. Then the press OF
Vermont will be able to attack and
force reforms in other channels-tax
laws, caucus laws--etc., etc. There is
plenty of opportunity for reform in
many directions, and now is the time
to accomplish results. People are
ready and willing to look at things as
they exist, and much good can and
will be accomplished by agitating
needed reforms and public abuses dur
ing the next two years.

and sensible one and credit to that
body. Instead of quibbling over little
technicalities and forced constructions,
the judges have taken the larger view
that recognizes the plainly expressed
will of the people back of the evident
intent of the legislature. BY the gov

can now be no further doubt or confu-
sion concerning the coming referendum

But, after all, if the sale OF liquor is
wrong, why should the state conduct
it, as proposed by the Battell bill ad-
vocates? Such move would make
even the honest prohibitionist a party
to the crime. The sale of liquort is
either wrong or right. If wrong let us
conduct it in decent and legal man
ner. Let the people decide-they are
always right, no matter what single in
dividuals may think or say.

irg Do you suppose any of these

it just as impossible for them to get
