A Negative Quality.

We have received letter from Rev.
W. H. H. Avery of st. Adams who
saws that our editorial, Two Extremes
of Lawlessness, published in last
weeks issue, does him a great injus.
tice. He says that the St Adams Mes
senger, from which we obtained our
report of his sermon, did not justly
represent him. but culled from his talk
and put together words and phrases
which he used, but not in that form.
He says:
81 did not squarely say this license
"should not have fair trial, we will
not give it such trial. | said
'twould be impossible to give the law
a fair trial since there is so small
chance of handling it effectively we
will be compelled, to all intents and
purposes, to let it run its own course !
patiently wait until the next legisla-
ture. l wish you to know the straight
of this matter. | am law abiding, and
insist on law enforcement when it is
possible. ~
The Reformer wishes, above all
things. to be just and kind in its iudg-
ments: but it still believes that those
who, like Mr. Avery, though law abid'
ing themselves and earnestly desiring
good for others, are blinded to real fair
ness through over zeal in some special
line of thought which dominates them,
represent an extreme of lawlessness as
injurious to public discipline and or
der as is the other of which the bum"
IS typical. A man may be law abid-
ing" himself, but if in his wide sphere
of influence as clergyman he speaks
of law as damnable' and declares
that it is impossible to enforce it and
so on, as Mr.. Avery does, he is throw
ing all his influence toward disrespect
and evasion of that law. 1t is not the
part of claw abiding" citizen to con
denim law in the very beginning and
say it can't be enforced. 1t is his part
to keep his misgivings to himself if he
have any, and set to work to do his best
toward the enforcement of the law
which majority of his fellow citizens
have chosen. Unfortunately those who
talk most generally do the least. 1t is
the quiet citizen who attends to the
little unpleasant but necessary details
Of community discipline. That there
are many such, the gratifying reports
of increasing good order and observ
ance of the law from Bennington, st.
Adams, Burlington and Brattleboro
show. The best of the new law is that
it is easy of enforcement, where half
an effort is made, because its restric-
tions are manifestly for the good of the
community and the protection Of indi-
vidual rights.
But these claw abiding" people who
stand back and criticise, or like the
Rutland News, 'narrate plain facts"
but fail to state in connection there
with, and probably don't know, wheth-
er they are or are not in violation of the
law are not people who help in the
cause of order and progress. Their
law abidingness" is negative quail
ity, and it detracts from the good re-
suits which others are trying to secure.

They have, in Servia, a very highly
developed product of what we Ameri-
cans call nerve. After making way
with an undesirable king, his queen
and few friends, whom they bury
"darkly at dead Of night" they smile
blandly at one another. Its good
job" is the general verdict. Then
they pass vote of thanks to the ones
that did the dirty work and elect a
new king who promises kindly to zig
more" the past. And it's all over in a
couple of days Now, wouldn't that

FOR THE ECONOMICAL WOMAN.
Which Does She Prefer-2 Pound Package of
Malt Breakfast Food or 10 Ounces of Others,

Weigh the loosely packed flaky con
tents of one of the large packages OF
any of the ready to-eat" cereals on
the market, and you will be surprised
to see that the weight is only twelve
or fourteen ounces. Compare this with
the full weight two-pound package of
Malt Breakfast Food, and it is easy to
see where you get the most food for
your money.
Another important point to keep in
mind is that Malt Breakfast Food is
to be cooked in your own home. When
it is brought on the table a steaming-
hot dish of delicate flavor and un
equaled nutrition, that two pound
package has become u pounds of
real food
Malt Breakfast Food is the original
maltwheat cereal. 1t is the result of
years of successful experience. 1t is
not fad; it is honest food, the favor
lite breakfast dish with those who en-
JOY good food and wish to be thorough
ly nourished. 1t is not simply brain
food, but food for both brain and
body.
The leading hotels, such as the Wal
dorf-Astoria, the Touraine, the Audi
forum, always have it on their break
fast menu, and it is the favorite
cereal in the homes of those who
always want the best, no matter what
the cost. Yet your own experience will
prove it the most economical.
The beautiful pictures now packed
with the food are doing much to intro
duce Malt Breakfast Food. In addi-
ton to small photograph in each
package, large carbon photographs of
the finest quality, duplicates of
those costing two or three dollars at
the art stores, are given in return for
taken from the packages
This is an unusual opportunity to adorn
The home without expense.
Your grocer will tell you that Malt
Breakfast Food gives the most salts
action of any of the cereals he sells.
Ask him about it.

More About Rural Free Delivery.

The st. Adams Messenger copies oul
editorial article of last week on the
above subject and remarks:
''The Brattleboro Reformer certainly
cannot mean to say that the govern.
ment freely supplies individual mail
boxes to people in the cities and vii
lagos. The patron on the rural free
delivery route has to pay for the mail
box in front of his door, and, if the
resident of the city or village where
free delivery is in force has private
mail box, he has to buy it himself,
too
There was nothing in the article
quoted from us about individual
mail boxes to people in the cities and
villages. -" They do not need them.
Their mail is delivered by the carriers
from door to door, while on rural
routes it is deposited only in boxes
which must be furnished by individ
uals. In the early days of the service
patrons were allowed to erect for the
reception of their mail almost any kind
of box. But on October 1, 1902, the
postmaster general issued Order No.
739, prescribing the kind of box which
must be used. A more recent order
signed by R. J. Wynne, first assistant
postmaster general. is to the effect that
"The Department insists that per-
sons desiring to avail themselves of the
rural free delivery service on routes
established since October l, 1902 (the
date when the postmaster generals or
der No. 739 went into effect, must
erect boxes which conform to the terms
of that order, and which have been APP
proved in the manner provided for by
it. Parties refusing to erect such APP
proved boxes on routes established
since the postmaster generals order
became effective, are considered as not
desiring the rural mail service, and it
is consequently withheld from them"
1t was not apparent to the rural
mind why the heads of the postoffice
department should concern themselves
about the character of the box erected
by the patron on his own premises for
the reception of his mail. But, as we
remarked last week, if the investiga-
tion going on in the department shall
show that they were pecuniarily inter-
ested in the sale of the prescribed
boxes-as one of them was in the sale
of a box fastener-it will afford an ex-

TIMELY STATE TOPICS.
And What Vermont Editors Have to Say Con-
corning Them.
We Are "Everlastingly Right"

While the Gazette doesn't hold the
same views regarding capital punish
ment that the Brattleboro Reformer
does, the latter is everlastingly right
when it says: "Let us have either
one thing or the other. Either let us
have the death penalty and enforce it
where guilt of murder is clearly prov
en- ; or else let US abolish it and i'm
prison our murderers for life. In Ell
ther case, let US do away with commu-
tations and pardons except where limo
cence is subsequently established. -

Therefore, Mayor Smith has right to
feel proud and satisfied with himself in
this instance
The fact that the vote was small does
not signify that Mayor Smith is unpopu-
lar. Moe than anything else it indicates
that Daytona is busy business place,
and knowing that there was no opposi-
ton To him, many OF the business men
and mechanics did not take the time to
vote. Consequently, only 20 votes Were
pollel all for Mayor Smith

Slightly Twisted,

Messrs. John Hanson and Henry
KipRe. OF Lake Mills rave reason tc
pleasantly (?) remember Homecoming
day at Watertown. With many other
visitors in the city that day and put ur
their horse at one of the local stables.
When about to depart in the evening
they in company with several friends
who were with them to see them of
went to the livery and asked that their
horse be hitched up. After asking for
z description of the animal and looking
over the '.boarders" in the stable he
invited the gentlemen from Lake Mills
to pick out the animal as he seemed un-
decided about which was which, They
cheerfully assented and pointed out
the animal which was hitched to their
buggy and they returned home, but
their surprise was great in the morn
ing when the man, who hired them the
horse, informed them that he could do
his own horsetrading without any out
side help and upon asking an explana-
tion they discovered they had the
wrong horse. This meant another trip
to Watertown, but Mr.. Kipke was equal
to the occasion, but it has not been
reported just what expression he used
when he discovered the mistake. Here
after he says he will insist on the liv-
eryman checking his horse if he is not
able to tell the difference and believes
the laugh is on him as we'll as he and
his companion and the party which
went to see them off on their journey.
