ENFORCE THE LAW.

1t is apparent that there are at present
several rank cases of violation of the
state liquor selling law in Rutland. 1t
is furthermore apparent that in some
instances at least this violation is by
those who have liquor stocks on hand
and who do not expect to be licensed
under the new law. If the supporters of
the present law are as good as their
word, if indeed the officers are doing
their duty. these closing out sales will
be the most expensive sales the violators
of the law have made. If, in the very
inception of this law-when its support
ers are still glowing with enthusiasm of
success-the violations are so fragrant,
what, pray, will happen when the first
enthusiasm is dulled? The license
local option law is in Rutland today not
fulfilling by long shot its promises of
shutting off the dives and stopp ng lille

The quiet of political matters has been
rudely shattered by the first announce
ment of gubernatorial candidates., and
the friends of H. G. Ide, of st. Johns
bury, have made bold to put his name
forward The first thought, according
to Vermont politics, is, to which side of
the mountain line does the choice fall.
Following out the unwritten law the
east side of the mountain can claim the
honor for the coming term. Hon. II. C.
Ide lives on the east side, therefore his
candidacy at this time. But there are
other qualifications which Judge Ide's
friends claim for him. Now that the
first announcement has been made other
names of would-be governors may be
expected to follow in quick succession. -

The Importance of good roads was
never more emphasized than during the

on the rural free delivery have received
their mail after efforts on the part of

SAVING OF THE COLONIES
Al the Expense of the Food purchas- ing Element at bOlne All Opponent Was Given $ hint Of the Public Sentiment Last Might.

London, Oct. G.-Mr. Ritchie. a mem Ter of al!i2ment for Croydon and un- til recently chancellor of the cxchcquer. delivered 6 speech tonight on flee trade and the reasons for his resigna- ticn, before an audience Of -i,oCO per sons ct Croydon town hall.
 A large liberal element was pres cnt. The reception of MT. Ritchie was decidedly not harmonious consisting of cheers. hoots and counter cheers for Jos. Chamberlain.
 The speaker later precipitated a scene of disorder by declaring that Mir. Chamberlain had been inconsistent be- cause he upheld free trade while presi- dent of the board of trade and protec- tion while colonial secretary.
 Mir. Ritchie said that as chancellor of eXchequer he could not consent to l fiscal revolution and the oVerturning of q policy of his conservative predeces- sors on the strength of the arguments of Chamberlain, ''whose strong point always was his ability to present any scheme he champiOned in the most fla vorable light
 The former chancellor of the exchc- GueT felt convinced that the present preferential proposals were merely the wedge which would ultimatly land the country in the same position as Ger many, where food taxes had driven the Workingmen to socialism.
 Continuing MT. Ritchie asserted that on2 Of the principal questions to be considered was the attitude of the United States. This country must try to guard against giving the United States any cause for reSenment which would result in her punishing Canada.
 The above statement resulted in fresh disorder on tl:e Dart Of the audience and the singing of Rule Britannia. '
 The mixed reception given to Ritchi, at Croydon is regarded as an indica ton that AIr. Chamberlain's scheme is taking hold of the country, and is fiercely dividing the unionists party Incidentally Ritchie rerealee4ztl4t4t i4t was solely responsible for abolition of the shilling duty on wheat He said Chamberlain proposed to retain the duty and give the colonies preference but the speaker believing that it was only the beginning of a larger scheme e. protection, threatened to resign il the duty was not forthwith abolished Confirming the published accounts ol NT.

Lord George Hamilton and himself met after botf cabinet councils, and decided to send il their resignations without having heard a word to the effect that Cham berlain would resign.
 That. however. did not affect MT Ritchie's position, because he coult not continue a member of the govern ment after the publication Of core ! spondence between Chamberlain anc 1 Balfour.

OVER STUDY Children Don't Break Down When Fed
 Right.

It is often the case that when chill dren break down at school it is at trbuted to overtsudy, when it is really only a case Of improper feeding.
 This can easily be overcome by a lit
 tie care in the selection of food and drink. "Since childhood l have been a coffee thinker and about q year ago l became so nervous and run down
 that I was compelled to leave school and give up studying altogether.
 Everyone thought my ill health was due to overstudy but during several
 months of rest my condition did not improve but instead l grew worse.
 Medicines failed to help me and l was
 sick and miserable all the time. One
 day friend while discussing my con-
 dition advised ne to leave off coffee and try Postum. It was not long be- fore l began to gain strength for Pos
 tum began to build me up almost inn mejliately.
 Tn less than three months from the time I left off coffee and used Postum I was back again at my studies and was soon studying harder than ever before and yet I felt and looked fresh
 and strong in spite of the hard work. There can be no doubt in the world that all this Improvement was due to leaving off coffee and drinking POstun in it's place.
 My married sister. hearing what ! Pcstum did e. me. thought sine would try it but in making it she did not fol-
 low directions and got a weak and charaCterless drink from which she and her family turned in disappoint- ment. It was shortly after this l visit ed her and made Postun as directed on the package which is easy enough
 and all were so delighted they said they liked it better than coffee. Since then Postum has held q high place in my sisters household and her health is very much better since she left off coffee and began PostUm.
 "A schooln2atN Of mine whose com plexion was saliow and muddy saw what Postum did for me and decided to drink it in place of coffee and it was i but d short time until she began tC
 gain strength and her complexion lost it's sallow hue. Now she says she will never drink any mere coffee but will stick to Postum."
 This young lady also tells of numer-
 ous other relatives and friends whose
 health. appearance and weight have
 been very much benefited by eavine
 off coffee and drinking Postum. the food drink. All names given by Pos tum O., Battle Creek. Mich.

CHRISTIANCY QUITS
His Resignation From P. Q.
 Department Accepted
He Had Been Suspended Pending the
 Investigation Which However Fail- ed to Develop Anything Against Him

Washington. Oct. 9.-The postmaster general today accepted the resignation of G. A. Christiancy as assistant at to:ney in the office of the United States attorney general for the post office department.
 MT. Christiancy's letter of resigna- ten, which was addressed to Post master General Payne, was filed on July IA last, and says:
 For reasons assigned in the com munication addressed to you under the date of April p, 1903, 1 requested to be relieved frcm the duties of office of assistant attorney general for the postoliice department.
 "Uness the investigation of my off, cial acts has, in your judgment, de veloped anything refiecting upon my honesty or integrity I beg herewith to respectfully tender my resignation as an official of the postoffice department to take effect at your earliest conven- fence.
 q take this step because I feel, and my physician tells me imperatively that-t will be absolutely impossible for me to undertake desk work for a con- siderable time.'
 The reasons assigned in MT. Chris tiancy's letter April 18th. were bad health. The postmaster general when he received MT. Christiacy's letter of July 14th, took no action upon it, be- yond referring it to Assistant Attorney General Robb with request for advice as to the proper course to pursue.
 MT. Robb's reply was not made until the investigation into the conduct of the assistant attorney generals office. under Tyner had been completed. His reply was dated yesterday and in it he says:
 The investigation having been com p,ct2d. l TOW have the honor to advise you that in my judgment no evidence has been adduced impugning the hon es;y Of Mr. Christiancy. and that there fore there is no good reason why his resignation can not be accepted"

 While the dead boys younger brother, Joachim, testified to unnam- able tortures inflicted on himself and on his brother. the persons in the court rooms were arused to such a pitch of fury that they cursed and threatened the prisoner. who was hastily removed hy the officials as lynching was feared. Joachim avowed, and the medical eX- perts agreed, that Dippold was more dehased than the London fiend who has been termed Jack the Ripper. The case attracts intense interest.
