THE CELESTIAL SURGEON,

If have faltered more or less
In my great task of happiness;
If | have moved among my race
And shown no glorious morning face:
If beams from happy human eyes
Have moved me not; if morning skies,
Books and my food, and summer rain
Knocked on my sullen heart in vain
Lord thy most pointed pleasure take
And stab my spirit broad awake.

A short time ago this paper took an OPP
portunity to commend contemporary,
which has a prohibition sentiment, for its
consistency in refusing to carry in its col
umns various kinds Of liquor advertise
ment Now the Rutland News demurs
and declares that there is as much con
sisteney in a newspaper declining legiti-
mate advertisement that is decently word
ed as there would be in a dry goods mer-
chant refusing to carry straight front cor
sets because he was opposed to their use.
A very pretty Illustration, but the analogy
is not there. Unfortunately for The News
purposes there is as much relationship be-
tween the straight front corset and
liquor as there is between a corn crib and
a baby carriage Here is the esteemed
Rutland contemporary, for instance. 1t
daily raises howl against the legalizing
Of the sale Of liquor. Its readers note the
howl and then turn to the next page and
their glance is attracted BY large letters
advertising the sale Of whiskey, wine, beer,
ale and the various other kinds. If there
is consistency in that, It is very much
besmirched jewel and we fail to see II. If
The News wishes to talk against the sale
Of liquor editorially aud in another column
invite that sale, it has right TO do SO.
StlI we commend for consistency that
other newspaper whose columns are net
entirely divorced from the editorial senti-
ment of the paper.
