that yesterday should be the last day

PITY IT'S IT'S True.

This is what they do in Chicago
The people, for some unaccountable
cause, place in power an administra.
tion that lets the city run down at the
heel, and then, in addition to the
taxes they pay, they form private
sociations and hire men to clean the
streets. This is expensive, and it is
not rs satisfactory as "a general plan
of municipal renovation would be /;
but local politics is about the queerest
thing in all the world
If the people were asked why they
authorized such style of government
not one of them could give single
good reason for doing it, They might
say that the present administration is
as good as any that has preceded it.
and that matters are no worse in Chi.
cago than they are in many other
places. There are men who get elect
ed to office through the force of the
sheerest buncombe. and who speedily
demonstrate that they act as a clog on
the community, and in every way hin
der its advancement. They serve a
term to no useful purpose whatever,
and prove to everybody with the
slightest intelligence that they are
rank failures But while they are
neglecting their jobs. they are so busy
setting up the pins to get in again,
that it is usually very little trouble
for them to be elected.
AS statement of abstract fact
this would seem impossi BILE and utterly
idiotic, but you have only TO 20 to
Chicago, or come to Kansas City, to
find out that it is so.
It's an awful pity, but alas, tbs
true. - Kansas City Times.

Royal G. Washburn,

Information has been received here
of the death Of Royal G. Washburn
at Topeka, X lnsas, Jan. 81. Mr..
Washburn was born in Stowe, Vt, in
1888, and was the son of the late
Randolph and Phoebe (Cushman)
Washburn, his father being for many
years a merchant in Stowe. The son
after leaving school worked in several
places in the Green Mountain State,
and during the war engaged in the
mercantile business in Cady's Falls
with A. V. Wlswell. He went to Salem

employ of Almy, Bigelow & Webber.
Twenty-three years ago he went to
Topeka, Kansas, and had lived there,
or in that vicinity, ever since. At the
time OF his death, he U as engaged in
the hotel hu 1iness. He leaves Wild
ow and one brother, the latter being
Calvin R Washburn of Salem, of the

An Important Meeting.

4 meeting will be held at the Court
House in Hyde Park to morrow
Thursday at 10 80 a. M, of the
citizans from the diff 4rent towns oi
the County, representing the senti-
ment Of their respective towns against
the adoption of the license law passed
at the recent session of Legislature.
This gathering will be somewhat
representative in it's character, but
all who are opposed to the open sa-
loon in Vermont are cordially invited
to be present. So far as we are able
to Judge, there is a growing convic-
tion that a large majority of the
people in Vermont will vote "No T"
on the Referendum, Feb. Sd. The re-
action, which seems to have taken
place, is remarkable. In calling up
oy telephone a gentleman in an ad.
jacent town, VINO favored license at
our last Freemen's Meeting, and ask,
ing him to give the names of few
gentlemen in his town who probably
would vote mo" on the Reteren-
dunn, bis answer was, Il do now
know of anybody worth men ntioning
in this town, who is not going to
vote No."
1t should be borne in mind that
this meeting is not necessarily a
gathering of Prohibitionists, but
rather a meeting of those who believe
chat a better law can be enacted
than the one now offered for our ac-
3eptance or TT ction.
There is a growing sentiment that
law which permits anybody who
wants to sell rum to establish cheap
drug store annex to his business, and
then sell, despite the protest of 95
per cent of our people, isn't the kind
of law we want to-day. We say 30
per cent because under the proposed
law any druggist, who can get five
per cent of the voters in any town to
permit the sale of liquor by a drug
gist, can have that permission, even
though 50 per cent OF the voters are
opposed, and all it costs him for his
license is $40 If it doesn't amount
to free rum" what does?
Inc DAu features Oh Uue law are
numerous and so far as this section
of Vermont is concerned, there is no
doubt that large majority will vote
mo"
One of the ideas fast gaining
ground is that a law should be
passed, if possible, which eliminates
the element of personal greed or per-
sonal profit on the part of the party
selling; many holding this view favor
state control substantially as pro-
vided in the Battell bill.
Those who gather tomorrow will
be united on one point at least and
that is, "No open saloon in Yer
mont" Let there be a good attend
ance at this meeting.

Wesleyan Quartet Next.

One week from to.mOrrOw evening,

ment ia the Business Mems Course.
This entertainment is given by the
Wesleyan Male Quartet and Houston.
The following letter of endorsement
from one who is in position to Judge
will be of interest to all.
"While visiting in MOrrisville last
June | learned that one of the main
features of the Lecture Course for the
present year would be the Wesleyan
Male Quartet. Being requested to
give my Judgment concerning their
work, take this opportunity to say
word. We came to Lincoln in '9S,
and since that time the boys have ap-
peared here a great number of times
in concerts of their own and on vari-
GUS other programs. At no time
within my recollection have they
failed to give perfect satisfaction.
Selections from classical Schubert
and modern arrangements by Van de
Water, Buck and others, forming
part of their repertoire. We all rec
ognize the fact that a male quartet
cannot exist now days without a
liberal supply of numerous selections.
La this the Wesleyans can hold their
own with any quartet on the road.
1t has been my good fortune to listen
to the leading male quartets in this
country and, without prejudice, l can
conscientiously say that the Wesley
ans stand among the leaders as a
frst-class organization. Hoping that
the quartet will receive a very liberal
patronage. | remain, Yours truly,
