Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1903-01-02

It's a pitiful sight to look upon a per-
son who is wasted to a mere shadow
with disease. So completely in the grasp
Of the little death-dealing germs that her
every action, her voice, her stare, her
tread, all tell too plainly that the de-
mons arc soon to have her life. Have
you not seen such person, and felt .
lump rise in your throat as you tried to
offer her some cheering word, some sug-
gestion of comfortP Ifafter seeing such
person. and having the impression left
indelible on your mind, SO that you would
remember her for days and weeks, you
should suddenly run across the same per-
son a few months afterward, and behold
In her quite a different person, this
time instead of hollow-chested, sunken-
checked, pale, stopped woman, with a
deep cough, which raised blood and
mucous, you should see bright-eyed
woman. straight erect, tinge of color
in her cheek, her face full and round, her
figure plump and robust, her voice soft
and sweet, with no cough, her suffer-
ings all gone, her disease entirely over
come and almost forgotten-what would
you think Would you not ask quickly,
"Whyi What has wrought this mira
Gle ?" Now that is the exact experience
that passed through with Miss Nettie
Clark, of 0 Hanson Street, Boston. Miss
Clark had consumption, and she had 1t
badly. So badly in fact that she was
given up to die. One day ! met her and
never beheld such q change in . person
in my life. I could hardly believe my

Mr.. Batchelder, who is making trip
through Vermont organizing "Young
Mems Republican clubs" seems to be
exciting considerable animosity from
the high license local option Republi-
cans. They object decidedly to Mr..
Batchelder or his hackers using the
name Republicans to defeat the bill
now before the people. There are some
80, 900 high license Republicans in Yer
mont-as was demonstrated at the Sep
TENDER elections-and apparently they
don't propose to be monkeyed with or
fooled by either Mr.. Batchelder or the
delegation of Congress, or anyone
else. The time for fooling all the
people has passed.
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1903-01-02

proud and boastful nation humbled
by its dreadful losses and softened by
the valor Of its foes into a generous
and sympathetic victor; while the con-
ouered heroes showed the world how
glorious even failure may sometimes
be; we have felt, as result OF these
great natural devastations, the sweep
of mighty wave of human sympathy
which has softened the heart OF the
world to suffering for all time; we have
realized, through the trust troubles,
something of the unending dreariness
of the lives of the very poor, who must
always be pinched for fuel and food,
and the realization has been an uplift-
ing and humanizing one; we have
learned, also, to the inestimable bene-
fit of the homes of our country, lessons
in economy and careful management,
under the harsh tuition of the beef and
coal trusts. And because Of these rough
experiences which have advanced the
wisdom and kindness of the world, we
shall not have to pass through all these
dark ways again; for when the kind
ness in the heart of the world is great
enough, war will not be possible and
the dissensions between capital and
labor will melt away in the desire for
right and justice which great kindness
always feels.
The Old Year has been good to Yer
mont. At first glance one would not
see much good in the long, corrupt,
sensational political campaign whose
issues we're based on the liquor selling
business, which has been the main
event of the year. But through it, the
cloak of conservatism has been torn of
and Vermont has seen her own imper-
fections for the first time. The sight
has done her good. She is thoroughly
alive; alert, inspired, electrified, with
new ideas and hopes. She will do some
thing now, and of course it will be
something worth doing and it will be
we'll done. She will not lose her his
toric pride or her loyalty to old time
truths and tried institutions; but she
will remember that perfection is still
away ahead and progress yet possible;
and that even Vermonter dead is
simply dead.
And so this Old Year, though grim
and terrible of aspect, has been very
good to us, for it has been character
builder; and at the end Of the year, as
at the end of life, it is not so much
what we have gained or lost, suffered
or enjoyed, that counts; but what we
have become: because nothing is eter-
nally and irrevocably ones own, but
ones Self.
Wiser and kinder, then, individually
and as a world, we may advance hap
PLY and with confidence and grasp the
roses of promise the New Year brings
u.s. Thorns may perhaps tear our fin
gers. Most roses have thorns and the
roses of life are no exceptions; but
they are we'll worth the possible pain.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw aired
his views on financial Legislation be-
fore the Bankers club of Chicago re-
Gently. He would have laws permitting
a demand for gold to be met with any
form of money under any circumstances
as a means of maintaining the parity OF
silver. He declared that when Con-
gress makes all forms of our money ex-
changeable at par for the established
standard 25. o grains of gold for every
dollar, as recommended in the presi-
dents message, our financial centers
will be able to compete successfully
with those of foreign countries as in
ternational clearing houses. He also
approved of the issue of emergency
currency and recommended some pro-
vision for the contraction of money,
when not needed.

All Quiet Along the Potomac,

This is the time in the campaign for
the reform of Vermont's liquor law
when one reads in the newspapers and
is told on the street that "the senti-
ment is changing that while it is
true that there was an unmistakable
declaration for change in the liquor
law at the September election, second
thought has been getting in its quiet
work and that many men who were
once opposed to prohibition will now
vote for it when the time comes. Such
reports are always to be looked for in
about this stage in every campaign to
be decided at the polls. They get adrift
somehow and are industriously circu-
lated in the hope that they will STAN
pede the timid souls who do not think
crowd.
Prohibition is as much of failure
today as it ever was and there are as
many, and probably more, men today
who are anxious to get rid Of it as
there ever were in the height of last
summers campaign. The license men
are not making so much noise now as
they were then because they have won
their point-they have succeeded in
obtaining what they sought for-the
referendum-and are now quietly max
ing ready to vote when the day comes.
The prohibitionists are the ones who
are doing the shouting now because
they see the ground slipping away from
under them and realize at last that
their pet law that has been a mockery
for half a century has got to go. st.

1t has now come to the point where
the Republicans of Vermont are trying
to blame the Democrats for not passing
caucus law at the late lamented ses-
sion. That apostle Of Righteousness,
the Middlebury Register, has this
point to make, and makes it boldly,
and without blush: "After running
campaign very largely on the issue
of caucus reform, the Democrats and
Clement men solidly opposed to the end
every caucus bill the Republicans pro-
posed and never brought forward a sin
gle one themselves. Consistency thou
art jewel - Let us see, did not
Mr.. Gale Of Guilford introduce bill
requiring candidates for office to file a
sworn statement of their expenses?
Was it the Democrats or Republicans
who killed this measure?

A recent despatch from White River
Junction states that the prohibition
lists and regular" Republicans are
working together to defeat the local
option measure. 1t is rumored that
the prohibitionists will support the
Battell measure in 1904 in return for
the assistance rendered them now by
the regulars" in defeating the pres
emit referendum. In dealing with Ell
ther faction, politically, it would be
we'll to have the goods delivered be-
fore making payment. We have seen
both factions repudiate promises too
recently to bank much on their prom

Bishop Hall, who is always for right
and truth and Justice, sounds word
of warning in communication to the
Burlington Free Press. The paragraphs
are we'll worth the careful considera-
ton of all fair minded men:
Granted that the bill has defects and
that license system will bring its
dangers, I would beg people to con-
slider what will be the condition of
things with regard to the liquor traffic
during the next two years, if the meas
ure now before the people flor adop-
tion or rejection, not for amendment)
should be defeated?
Prohibition will have been discred-
tied (by the popular vote at the Sep
TENDER election, and by the action of
the legislature), and no measure of reg
ulation will have been adopted in its
place. 1t has been found difficult to
enforce prohibition in the past; it will
be impossible in the future. The ad-
missions as to present conditions in
Burlington in your article on the sub
ject today show the dangers to which
we are exposed by the absence of regu.
lation following the popular repudia-
ton of prohibition.
Is it not really the wiser policy for
all who desire to fight drunkenness to
accept a law in enforcing which they
can reckon on the support of public
opinion, and to combine strictly to en-
force its regulations and restrictions?
The considerations that have urged
will of course have no weight with per
sons who are conscientiously opposed
to any sanction of the sale of intoxi-
eating drinks By others, who, while
they might prefer prohibition, are
ready to face facts, l cannot but think
that it is entitled to be taken Into ac-
count.

Editor Hayes of the Burlington Clip
per, or was it the Office cat, assails
most bitterly that portion Of the state
press which opposed our appropriation
to the ST. Louis Exposition. As the
Reformer editor was one Of those who
should be carrying swill, ETC., we feel
that we should be allowed to placate
the irate brother. Our objection was
not to an appropriation for advertising
the state of Vermont, not at all, but to
an appropriation for advertising the
St. Louis Fair. We should be glad to
have Vermont appropriate 100000 or
more every year for advertising pur-
poses of some kind-good roads, or
what not,-but have long since seen
the folly of this kind of an appropria-
ton. We accept the apology.

The saloon always becomes a con-
trolling factor in politics. Phoenix
The Phoenix undoubtedly believes
the people of Vermont to be of the
highest moral character and ability.
Have we not furnished our Mo1rills,
Collamers, Bradleys, ct. al, for the
highest places in the land? If the ma
jority control in politics and demand
license and the open saloon in prefer
ence to the present hidden prohibition
dives of which Burlington alone has
200, then the Phoenix has the assur-
ance to tell the majority of Vermont
ers that they don't know good govern
ment when it is proposed to them. No
doubt the able Vermonters enjoy these
lessons from the Phoenix.
