Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1903-05-22

In a letter last week to the Texas
Bankers association, Ex-Secretary Of
the Treasury Lyman ]. Gage expressed
his views on the question of the money
supply of the United States. He doubts
whether this is adequate in volume and
is convinced that it is not economical
in character. He gave detailed reasons
in support of his idea of credit or asset
currency claiming that with some
reasonable and just guards around it,
we can gain the advantage of an ade-
quate currency without any risk of dis
aster, or the loss of a single dollar" He
believes that such currency would
help to arrest the annually recurring
anxiety occasioned by the impairment
of bank reserves called into temporary
use to serve as medium of circulation
in the movements of crop harvesting;
that it would tend to steady the rates
of interest in the central cities. and
prevent the violent and costly perturba-
tions between money as drug" and
"money impossible to borrow" and that
it would be especially in the interests
of the agricultural classes, affording
them a sufficient supply of safe cir
culating medium of exchange and pay
ment on favorable terms.

What About Old Home Week!

What is Vermont going to do about
an Old Home Week celebration this
year? 1t is time for the several towns
in the state to consider the matter. Is
there any one thing Of public nature
more desirable and advantageous to a
town and the state as whole, than in
keeping "open house, for week in a
year to Vermont's sons and daughters,
who are scattered all over the country
In the first place its hospitable feat
ure is calculated to awaken new inter
est among many who have perhaps al
most forgotten their native state while
to all loyal sons and daughters the ac-
ton of our citizens in setting aside u
week especially for visitors is sure to
be appreciated. And when the old
boys and girls come home and are given
a royal, though not necessarily an ex-
pensive welcome, they will see much Of
the beauty of the state which they new
er before knew or had forgotten exist
ed here, and when they return to
their adopted state their friends, neigh
bors and business associates will hear
new theme of conversation for many
days-all about Vermont.
From financial standpoint the mon
ey these visitors expend directly and
indirectly will fully cover all expenses
to any town which goes into the mat
ter in an intelligent and earnest man
ner. Looking at the project from a
commercial standpoint alone, it is a
splendid opportunity to do the most
valuable kind of advertising for Yer
mont with sure and immediate re-
turn of the cost.
We hope that the citizens of every
town in the state will give the Old
Home Week plan careful and active
consideration. 1t is none too early to
take up the matter for an August cele-
bration. MORTIFIED News.

John senter on the Presidential Nomination

John H. Senter, Vermont's demo-
cratic "war horse" has come out in
an interview saying he favors the nom
nation of Richard Olney for demo-
cratic candidate for president Mr..
Senter, who is member of the demo-
cratic national committee from Yer
mont, says, 1.-The man was never born
who can be elected president of the
United States for the third term. 1t is
part Of the unwritten constitution Of
the United States that such thing
cannot be done. Grover Cleveland is a
very popular private citizen but his
nomination for president next year
would tear the democratic party right
in two When you get around to it no
one wants him for candidate and |
do not believe he wants to try it again.
He is too bright man to be chasing
rainbows in that way. Mr.. Olney would
make a splendid candidate. His loca-
ton is bad, but am not one who takes
much stock in location. l would like
to see Mr.. Olney nominated. Yer

Lets be More Charitable.

We highly commend the Windham
County Reformer's defence Of Admiral
Dewey against the attacks of the press
of his own state. Because he erred in
dabbling in politics, should he be buf-
feted and battered by those who can
talk faster and yet say little, by the
stay at homes, who after all must re-
spect him for the memorable victory,
five years ago at Manila Bay? Let's be
a little more charitable, and hold up
both hands to one who has done such
honor to our staff. The Reformer says :
AREN'T we little hard on Admiral
Dewey? He is not tactful talker, nor
is he a success as a politician or dip
lomatist. But he is brave man and a
great admiral. To have done one really
great thing in ones life work is rare
enough to command respect. Let's stop
roasting the admiral every time he
opens his mouth. '-Poultney Journal.

Springfield, Mass, is in great
stew, and it's amusing to watch the
"crawl'' in official circles. Automo-
biles have been running too fast to suit
the natives and so the police tip went
out to edo something" and stop COM
plants. The first victim was the citl-
zen who, as chauffeur, was guiding the
machine in which Gov. Bates and It,
Gov. Guild were being given view OF
the city of homes. OF course the po-
liceman didn't know who were the
men in the machine, but he wishes he
had known. There is feeling in
Springfield that the crusade began and
ended at once. and the court cases
have been dropped for the present. 1t
was only meant for an object lesson,
anyway, and the aim seems to have
been attained.

Nebraska ideas Of vt. Liquor Laws.

State Superintendent W. E. Ranger
recently received letter from the ed
itor OF a Nebraska paper which goes 70
show the peculiar conclusions that
some outsiders have drawn from recent
changes in liquor legislation in YER
mont. The letter reads in part as fol-
lows: "We are informed as follows
For the past 30 years Vermont has had
prohibition. Some 20 years ago very
drastic law was passed requiring the
effects OF stimulants and narcotics to
be taught in the public schools. For
about 20 years this law has been IN
operation. Recently the state carried
for local option-we are not quite clear
on this point, perhaps it was only New
Hampshire. 1t is claimed it was the
vote OF the young men, those who have
had this special education, that car
ried the state into the local option col,
umn." The Nebraska editor wanted
information. In reply Mr.. Ranger ex-
planned that the so called "drastic leg
islation" was passed in 1886 and was
repealed in 1888. Since then law has
been in effect which includes physio-
logy, and hygiene, with special refer.
ence to the effects of stimulants, in the
list of studies to be taught and that IT
is improbable that the instruction IN
the public schools had any particular
weight in the change in sentiment OF
the people.

The st. Adams Messenger Justly re-
Dukes the Middlebury Register for its
boastful claim that the government al
ways selects Vermonters for specially
important missions. "We brag too
much, +" says the Messenger; and so we
do-as individuals, as Vermonters, as
Americans. By throwing so much RI
diculous bluff, we but call public at
tention to our weaknesses, our lack,
our failures and obscure our real mer-
its, capabilities and successes. No
body takes any stock in boaster. It's
enough for us to be something and to
do something worth while. Let others
do the talking.

REDUCE LIVING EXPENSES.
By Eating the Most Delicious and Nourishing
of All Cereals, Malt Breakfast Food.

Meat is high, eggs are higher, but
the price of Malt Breakfast Food is
the same; in fact it is less than ever,
for the size of the package has been
increased to two full pounds.
Compare this with the fourteen ounce
package of ready to- eat" cereals and
you see at once the superior economy OF
Malt Breakfast Food. Then keep in
mind that Malt Breakfast Food is to be
cooked in your own kitchen, and
brought to the table steaming- hot
dish of delicious nutriment, eight
times as much as the ready-to-serve
cereals, package for package.
Make this experiment for your
self, and you will see that when
this standard malt-wheat cereal is
cooked according to directions, a cup
full of the food to three pints of water,
it makes not only the most delicious,
satisfying and digestible of all cereals,
but by far the most economical.
Malt Breakfast Food is plain, sim
pie, honest food, the best of whole
wheat, thoroughly matted and cooked.
1t is not one of those foods which Mr..
Dooley poked fun at as "almost food,
scientific preparation OF burlaps,
Sawd Ust, or Hungareen. chemically

bath towels" 1t is ready to cook.
and should be served hot, the most
appetizing, delicious of foods, sup

With every package of Malt Break
fast Food is packed beautiful carbon

without advertising or printing, dup
licates of which cost two or three
dollars at the art stores, are given in
return for coupons taken from the
packages.
Ask your grocer about Malt Break
fast Food. He will tell you that it is
the preference with his best trade
and that in it you get your moneys
worth more fully than in any other
cereal in his store.
