Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1903-08-14

The strenuous, but spasmodic, OPP
position to the reelection of Senator
Redfield Proctor, which is evidenced
by occasional murmurings in the ranks
of the Republican party, gains no re-
cruits by it's venomous attacks on the
character and ability of the senior sem
ator from Vermont. No more convince
ing is the pooh pooh hush hush
Proctor's- albright" attitude of Mr..
Proctor's warmest adherents. There
may be reasons for urging a change
and the subject is a proper one for
discussion and will doubtless meet
with real discussion if any other re-
publican avows his candidacy. Sem
ator Proctor will keep his seat until
some superior claim is filed by a poll
tician of equal or greater power
One might think from reading the
newspapers that Mr.. Proctor was
either an unmitigated scoundrel or a
patron saint He is simply a sue
cessful and clever politician, very hui
man like the rest of us.

Roosevelt on Lynching.

The president has said what every
one else has been saying for the last
six months-that lynching is a nation
al disgrace and must be summarily
punished. He said it in letter to the
governor of Indiana, in which he
commended the action of Gov. Dur
bin in putting down the Evansville
mob.
1t is high time the president said
something about lynching. His opin-
ion as an individual is of no more val
ue than another's, but as the head OF
the nation his opinion is important.
We can see no good reason for par
ticularly patting the president on the
back, metaphorically, because he
thinks just as all good citizens do
and has the courage to say So 1t
was his duty to condemn lynching and
to uphold the enforcement of law.
The letter of the president to Gov.
Durbin, however, shows broad
view or the question. 1t CONDEMNS in
no uncertain tones the common failure
of the courts to mete out prompt JUS
tice, thus giving vestige of excuse
to the law-breakers for taking matters
into their own hands. Not because of
the effect on the so-called victim
of lynching does the president deplore
its occurrence, but because it blunts
the moral sense of the community.
destroys respect for law. Furnishes the
innocent and makes the ungovernabla
mob the governing power.
President Roosevelt is right-not
very original nor very prompt-but
light Gov. Durbin of Indiana was
light first and was placed in the hard
n position.

There Are Others, After All.

It seems that treating" has long
been forbidden by law in Nebraska.
Nebraska also leads Vermont in
another respect, for its law is far more
rigid than ours. Here is the section
of the Nebraska statute: ANY per-
son treating or offering to treat
any other person or accepting, or
offering to accept any treat or gift OF
any intoxicating drink whatever in
any saloon or public place where such
liquors are kept for sale shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
shall, upon conviction thereof, be sub
ject to a fine of $40, or Imprisonment
in the common Jail Of the county for
ten days, or both, at the discretion of
the court; and. in addition thereto,
shall pay into said court the sum of
SIS. to be paid to the attorney pros
ecuting the case, il there be one: and,
If no attorney prosecutes, then to be
paid In the school fund of the county
in addition to the fine"

The Bristol Herald suggests that a
raise in wages of Iowa brewery em-
ployes is due to the new liquor laws
in two New England states. There
was a time when all misfortune was
said to be the direct result OF prohi-
bition. Now prohibitionists are cred
iting good news to the license laws.
1t requires the vivid imagination OF
a prohibitionist to conceive of any eff
feet on Iowa breweries as a result of
sales of beer in Vermont
and New Hampshire.

diculous, however. One wonders why

yet the unions have not succeeded in
making every mans labor equal In

First Lesson in Agriculture.
Huntington Free Press.l

Apropos of the remark OF one of the
eastern college boys, who went to
Kansas to help gather the crops. to the
effect that the only employment offer
ed him was that of filling the header
box, a machine which cuts the corn
cobs from the stalks" the Kansas City
Journal says: Lord Dundreary, who
wanted to see the COW which gave the
buttermilk, the Chicago girl, who COM
miserated the cold job of the farmer
in cutting his winter wheat, the Gin
cinnati agrculturist who wanted
some tobacco seed part plug and part
fine cut, the Philadelphia matron who
ordered her gardener to plant some
succotash, the new-made bride who
wanted the butcher to cut her steak
rare-all these must go to the barn
and unhitch when the New Yorker
comes driving down the pike with that
header box which cuts the corn cobs
from the stalks"

The retirement Of Gen. Miles and
the succession of Gen. Young brings
the two men into the public eye. At
"a man is too old to command the
army but not too old to be the nations
executive. II would not be at all sur
prising If Miles should run for the
presidency. Admiral Deweys example
is not encouraging, nor is the time
propitious, but what objection there
is to president Roosevelt Is very de-
cided, if not very general. 1t will take
more popular man than Miles to
beat him in or out of his party.

Oh! The Gay Old Deceivers!

One of the many flags Of interest
that will appear in the G. A. r. parade
in San Francisco will be the old
flag of the Vermont brigade. This
flag was as well known to the Rebs as
it was to the boys who carried 1t
and for many a long month 1t was
sight that caused the boys in gray a
great deal of worry and lots of trou-
BILE. The flag will be taken by the
Vermont department, who will num-
Der about $50. Col. Goulding says
that many are under the impression
that the original brigade flag Is now
in the State House at Montpelier,
but that is a mistake. Mrs. John
Stanley is at present making the or
iginal flag and it will be taken to
Frisco, where the boys will march
under its folds with as much pride as
they did when its duplicate had such
a proud position in the Army Of
the Potomac.

The Use of Wealth and Leisure.

No masterpiece of fiction could pre-
the lesson of the use OF wealth and
leisure, than the daily press presented
it last week. by means of two brief
news items.
Miss Helen Gould-the woman Of
wealth who has endeared herself to
the whole country ana has won the
respect of the world; who takes large
views of helpfulness and carries them
out for her country, the army and
navy, the Y. M. C. A. and other organ
izations of young men, and who is the
friend Of the newsboys as well-has
been asked by 1000 cutter girls in the
Holyoke paper mills, to arbitrate
their big strike. They have absolute
confidence in her fairmindedness.
The women of Viewpoints multi mil-
lionaire society are succumbing, one
by one, to nervous prostration, due to
the strenuousness of their lives. They
have chased Pleasure, in one spangled
and glittering form or another, around
and around the narrow confines of
their world until they are dizzy. They
doubtless hoped, as We all hope, to
catch Happiness, but they seem to
have failed.
The possession of wealth brings
many great possibilities. Happiness,
or contentment, is what we are all
after and if pleasure were happiness,
as some suppose. wealth would secure
it. But it is not. Pleasure soon

Among the suggestions of improve
ment in the local option law the

point of view there is much to be said
in favor of such a change although it
violates the local option principle. \
license of that nature would necessar-
lily be a license to sell to guests only

summer hotel license is desirable
would there be a vote for no-license.

So many things must not be done
And the reason is Because
They never have been DONE and have
Become "Unwritten Laws"
Like the Mountain Rule in our own state.
And the "Non- Promotion Rule"
And the notion in this country that
A man must be a fool
Who knows the game of politics
So little that he'd dare
To ask third election to
The presidential chair.
But let a man who's big enough
Once enter on the field,
And all the bosh ..unwritten laws
Will surely have to yield.
When the time is ripe to break them-like
The cares that infest the day
They will fold their tents like the Arabs
And as silently steal away"
