We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.

Mend Your Prohibit0ry Law.

Still I admit, that there are some weak
points in your prohibitory law. But the
thing to do is to mend the weak points of
your law and hold on to it. l was brought
up on a farm. One day the cattle broke
through a weak place in the fence and got
into the cornfield. Father might have said:
"Boys, that fence around the pasture is no
good; Go out there and tear down every
panel of it. That fence won't prohibit. The
COWS have got through it again into the
corn field. It's no good, go and tear it all
down." Did my father talk thus? Not at
all, but like a sensible farmer he said,
'Boys, the COWS have got out of the pas
ture into the corn again. There must be a
hole in the fence somewhere. Go find it,
and mend it," Do yon think we would
have protected the corn better by tearing
down all the fence that kept the cows from
getting out of the pasture into the corn
field? No, no! And do you think that you will
better protect your homes, your sons and
your daughters, by tearing down your
prohibition fence which for 80 years has
been your protection, and let the open
looms come in with all their evil influence
to wreck and ruin your homes?

rum seller, there you are certain to find
the most fragrant violation of the law.
Hence, l say, it is much harder to en-
force High License than Prohibition, be-
cause it is much harder to get evidence
against licensed liquor dealer, and SO
much harder to convict him before Jury
it is to get evidence and convict an illegal
liquor dealer under prohibition.

HIGH LICENSE ALWAYS INCREASES
DRUNKENNESS.

Fourth, high license in Massachusetts
increases drunkenness. That is, the amount
of drunkenness under high license is much
greater than under prohibition. It. is only
reasona BILE to suppose that man who pays
$1,000 for his license and must furnish up
an expensive saloon must sell much more
liquor to make living than a dealer, or

"Pr0hibiti0n Won't Prohibit"

But some one says, "Prohibition won't
prohibit" OF course it won't. Neither will
an ak cut. 1t takes man behind an ak to
make it cut, and it takes man behind a
law to make it work. An ak will not chop
wood of itself, neither will law enforce
itself. Let me illustrate. When l first got
married. had to chop my own wood. One
day when there was no wood cut with
which to cook dinner, Mrs. Miller came to
me and said: My dear, the wood is out,
please go and cut some" | said | would,
but for some reason failed to do it; like
the man in the Scripture, said l would
go but went not. But Mrs. Miller did not
go out to the woodward and scold the ak
because there was no wood, but she came
into my room and scolded some one else!
If your prohibition ak does not cut, don't
blame the ak, but blame your officers who
refuse to obey their oaths of Office. If you
get high license, these same officers will
not enforce it any better. 1t is not SO much
a change of your law that you need, as
change of your officers.

license law than you do to enforce the pro-
visions of your prohibitory law. The cas-
Ter you make it for men to sell liquor, the
harder it is to make them obey the law.

Hard to Get Evidence Under License.

1t is harder to enforce high license than
prohibition, because it is harder to get evil
dence of violations of the law under high
license than under prohibition Under
high license, if licensed saloon is selling
liquor wide open on Sundays or holidays,
you cannot raid the place and search for
liquor, as they have right to have liquor
there; but you must prove the sale of Ii
quor; hence you must employ local wit
nesses or out of town detectives to get evil
dence of liquor sales.
1t is very difficult to get good local wit
nesses to go into a saloon on Sunday and
buy liquor to get evidence of violations of
the law, and go into court and testify
against the liquor dealers and thus incur
their enmity and have to stand their abuse
and insults for years to come. Hence in
Massachusetts we generally have to en-
ploy out of town detectives or spoilers"
to get evidence of violations of the law.
Some people are very much opposed to
the use of ''spotters", but under high Ii
cense the use of ''spotters" is much more
necessary than under prohibition to en-
force the law. In Massachusetts we find
it almost impossible to get evidence against
high license liquor dealers without the use
of spoilers. So if you want more spoilers
in Vermont, vote for high license, and you
will certainly have them, or else there will
be little effort made to enforce the law

ed IN court of a single violation of the law,
that his license thereby becomes void. 1t is
usually easy to convict a viOlatOr of the
law before local Judge, but he appeals to
the county court to be tried before Jury,
and there is where the difficulty comes, to
get II men to convict. Our Massachusetts
law also says that if man is convicted of
violating the law that he cannot be grant
ed another license for year from the end
of the license year in which he was con-
victed; and if he owns the building in
which he runs his saloon, that a license
cannot be granted to anyone else to run
saloon in that building for a year from the
end of the license year in which he was
convicted. You see man has great deal
at stake. He must furnish up fine saloon
with expensive fixtures usually costing
from $4,000 to $4,000, and sometimes more,
and he can sell these for only small frac-
ton of the original cost, when he loses his
license; and then he must pay his 5000 or
more license fee for the whole year in ad-
vance, and if he is convicted soon after the
beginning of the year, he also loses all his
license fee for that year; SO that it is al
most certain TO throw an ordinary saloon
keeper into bankruptcy, to lose his license.
l knew one such case, where a hotel liquor
man had fitted up an expensive place and
the license commissioners refused to renew
his license one year, for he was fragrant
violator of the law, and it was stated on
good authority, that he lost over $4,000 in
closing out his fixtures, ETC., and practical
ly became a bankrupt But those same
commissioners, however, renewed the Ii
censes of several others who were just as
bad as the one they refused to renew. They
made him the scapegoat for all the others.
Now. when case comes before an ordi-
nary jury, do you not see that it is almost
impossible to get II jurymen to agree to
render "a verdict of guilty against man for
selling some liquor illegally, when the
State charges him such high price for his
license that he is practically driven to sell
some liquor contrary to the law in order to
pay his high license fee, and also make a
living.

Easy to Convict under Prohibition.

But under prohibition, it is very differ
ent. The low dive keeper has no license to
lose, if convicted; and as the fixtures of
the low dive seldom cost over few dollars
at most, he has but little at stake, hence
jury is always much more ready to convict
such man, and have him fined 800 than
if he would lose two or three thousand
dollars. Wherever it is hardest to convict

Sympathy of the Jury Worked Upon.

And when the jury knows that if they
convict him he will forfeit his license, and
lose almost everything he has, and perhaps
be thrown into bankruptcy, they will hes
itate long time before every one of the II
jurymen will vote to convict man under
such circumstances. Perhaps the saloon
keeper has wife and several children to
support, and the attorney for the liquor
man will paint to the jury sad picture of
suffering and sorrow that will come to this
home if this husb band and father is con-
victed and loses his license. Such argu-
ments will reach the heart of at least one
man III almost any jury, and thus prevent
the liquor dealer from being convicted.

Hard to Convict RumseIIers under
HIGH License.


Another reason why it is so much hard
er to enforce High License than Prohibi-
ton is because of the greater difficulty in
getting a liquor dealer convicted under
High License than under Prohibition. The
Massachusetts High License law says that
If licensed dealer violates any of the pro-
visions of the law, such as selling to min
ors or drunkards, selling on Sundays, ETC.,
that the license commissioners shall forth
with revoke his license; but the license
commissioners never like to revoke a Ii
quor Dealers license, and thus admit that
they granted license to an unworthy fell
low; hence, though evidence mountain
high has often been piled up against sa-
loon keeper, and presented to the license
commissioners, yet it is an exceedingly
rare instance that the license commission
ers have ever been known actually to re-
woke license, even of a most shameful
and fragrant violater of the law. They not
only refuse to revoke the volator's license
in the middle OF the year, if evidence is
presented to them at that time, but they
go right on at the beginning of the next
year and grant the same man a license
again for another year. And that contin-
ues year after year. Perhaps the license
commissioners, or the mayor, who ap-
points the commissioners, gets some fl
nancial or political remuneration from the
licensed dealers for leaving them alone to
violate the law with impunity.

Ether Vibrations.

The effect Of movements in the ether
depends upon the rapidity Of the vibra-
tons producing them. The unit OF
measurement for short waves in the
ether is the bicron, which is about one
twenty-five millionth of an inch. Waves
measuring $50 to $40 bicrons affect our
sense of sight, the former number Civ
ing violet and the latter red color. The
invisible rays, to which the actinic and
Roentgen rays belong. are shorter and
have been measured as short as 100
bicrons. Ether waves longer than
those giving light give the feeling OF
warmth. The longest heat waves are
eight times the length Of those of the
red rays, or one three hundred and fif-
tieth Of an inch.

Why ShouId We Workf

Work is activity in some phase OF
our life. Life is manifested in activi-
ty, and inactivity would be stagnation,
which would be fatal to life.
In the universe wherever there is life
there is activity. This is true in the
vegetable, the animal and the human
worlds. This activity is necessity
which runs through all organic life.
The life that is not crowned with en-
nobling work of some kind, either for
ones own livelihood or for the good of
others, is an empty life-an abnormal
life.
Work is natural; idleness unnatural.
Work builds up, and inactivity tears
down. Idleness is 4 violation Of our
being. Hence it is immoral.
There are manifold reasons why we
should work and no reason why we
should not. Those who are not obliged
to labor for their daily bread should
choose work of some kind in obedience
to the universal law that we see run
ming all creation.
He who was Of the opinion that 'the
man who does not work should not
eat" realized the demoralizing influence
of life spent in idleness.-American

Ok Roast Enjoyed...Many Visit Paden

Paden's Valley never before pre-
seuted such a scene of animation as
1t did yesterday. From early In the
morning till late In the afternoon
there was surging mass of human
ity In that region, where before only
few trod at one time. Sale of lots
at the new industrial city, was the
cause of the stir, and so well had
the sale been advertised that thous'
ands were there to take In the pro
ceedings, some going to buy and
some to see others buy.
All trains from every direction
took people to Paden City. From
this city about 400 went. From
other points as many almost In pro

surroundings of nothingness ex

II many days were like yester
day there would be no cooperate

and vicinity. 1t would be IN thu
hands of many instead of a few.
The feature of yesterday was thu
OK roast, which was enjoyed by thu
many who were there to attend the
sale.
Marvellous prices were brough
by lots In the new town. Corne
lots brought such prices as lots d.

Advertising seeued TO excite tn
visitors to such a degree that they
bought whether they intended II

Kentucky has done little toward

progressive oil men and the advent
of the pipe line has not resulted In
the great activity and increased
yield that was predicted a few
months ago. In the districts reached
by the pipe lines there was small
gain In new wells and new pro.

several very promising pro-
ducers were obtained. The amount
of field activity Is small. Kansas
offers a large amount of prospective
territory for the operator and Is be-
Ing gradually developed over a large
area. There are over 1910, pro-
ducing wells In the State, but the
lack of transportation facilities
prevents most of them from being
operated to their full capacity. An
authoritative estimate of the pro-
ductive capacity of the Kansas and
Indian territory districts at the
present time places the probable
yield at between 5000 and 10000
barrels day.-Derrick.
