IS STRONG
IN VERMONT
Some Burlington Democrats Give
Their Views Of Parker.

Burlington, April S.--The sentiment
for Judge Alton B. Parker, of New
York, for the Democratic candidate
for president appears to be gaining
in this section of Vermont The lead
ers who a few weeks ago were saying
some good things for w. II. Hearst
with view to furthering his candidacy
are reluctantly acknowledging that the
Hearst sentiment is not so apparent
as surmised earlier in the campaign.
Notwithstanding the fact that Burling-
ton is a stronghold of labor unions,
there is little talk today of supporting
Hearst. The sentiment is created
largely by the leaders and the leaders
are largely for Parker, from all APP
pearances.
V. A. Bullard, leading Democratic
attorney of this city says: ~ think
Judge Parker will carry New York
state and il that is so, Vermont Demo-
Gratis will endorse him. l believe him
to be the logical candidate and a very
able man. l have no use for Mr.
Hearst and | believe his strength is
not so great as some may think. ;,
Mayor James E. Burke is also a
strong Parker man. "Mr Hearst is
a good newspaper man., he said to
reporter for the st Adams
Messenger, /" but he would make
an unsafe man for president, in my
estimation. l believe Judge Park
er is sure of the Vermont delegation
and think there will be little opposition
in the convention. Mr. Hearst poses
as labor leader but I think he 10
working more for Hearst than in the
interests of the working man."
John j. Shea, for eleven years an
alderman of the city OF Burlington
comes out for Parker. He finds little
sentiment for Hearst or Richard Olney,
who is the logical New England can
didate. Mr. Olney's name is hardly
mentioned in talking on the subject,

Small Boy Yesterday between the Ice Cream the
LAST PERFORMANCE.
National Stock Company To Play Here Again
Tonight

The National Stock Co. appear here
for the last time at Library hall to-
night and have picked out one OF their
strongest bills in the repertoire for
this production. Although greeted by
very small audience during their
stay here, they give a pleasing enter
tainment.
Among the specialties, which were
all good, was that OF Z. Fran
els Harwood, violinist, whose imita.
tions on that instrument we're clever.
He played two solos, playing his own
obligato at the same time and had to
respond five times to the applause.
Kid Evans also gave a pleasing act
with his best buck and wing dancing,
dancing ten minutes without stopping.
He also responded to several encores.
All the other specialties were good and
well received. The company will re-
turn in the near future with an entire
ly new repertoire, and Manager
Schaad says he will procure just as
good, II not better talent than any
other repertoire company on the road

BRINGS SUIT
Wants Damages on account
of Son
WHO IS NOW IN PRISON
Suit Is against D. J. Cronin, John
Leahy and E. J.
MOrrissey.
WHO IS NOW IN PRISON

A civil suit has been brought by the
father of Sidney DeForge a guardian
of the latter to collect damages from
John Leaby, D. j. Cronin and L. j.
Morrissey, all license holders on the
charge that they sold liquor to young
DeForge who is but IS years of age,
therefore minor.
DeForge is now serving sentence
in the state prison for assaulting
Deputy Sheriff Godfrey, while under
the influence of liquor which it is
claimed he procured at the places con-
Quoted by the three men arrested.
They will have a hearing in the muni-
cipal April 10.
The writs were served by Deputy
Sheriff it claims that each of the part
les sold the boy two drinks, and for
these one hundred dollar damages
each is claimed.
Two hundred is also claimed from
each, for selling to minor contrary
to law, or a total of $500. The writ
which is returnable to the municipal
court the third Tuesday in April. D.
A. Guiltinan appears as attorney for
the plaintiff.
The parties gave $500 bail for their
appearance in court. Those against
whom the complaint was made are
somewhat exercised over the affair.
Mr. Morrissey who holds second
class license says that he never sold
the young fellow any liquor, but that
he may have sold his brother bottle,
because he knew him, and knew that
he was of age.
Mr. Leahy says that he is positive
that the fellow never procured drink
in his place, and to the best of his
knowledge no person under age ever
did. From all he can find out the
brother was not in his place that day.
Cronin states thatthe father and boy
came into his place the day the as
sault was made, procured drink, the
father got a drink for the boy, at the
time telling him that it was all right
to give it to him and no trouble would
come as he was his guardian. 1t was
done with the best intentions on the
part of Cronin, who supposed that he
was doing strictly in accordance with
the law.

CHRONIC COUGHS
OFTEN THE BEGINNING OF
CONSUMPTION.
Our Local Druggist, Geo. w. Putnam
Guarantees Vinol Will
Cure Them.

Said Druggist Putnam: "This
the season for coughs and colds, an,
for the benefit of Salem people 1 wan
to tell them the best means for cure
"Don't dose the stomach with cougI
syrups. It's no use; they only sooth
a little-upset the stomach and d,
not heal at all.
"The best cure we know is Vinol
which contains in highly concentrated
form all of the healing, curative ele
ments taken from genuine fresh Gods
livers, without drop of oil or grease
to upset the stomach and retard its
work. 1t contains no sickening drugs
whatever. Vinol is splendid for lung
or bronchial cough. 1t heals, cures
and strengthens the sore lungs and
bronchial tubes. 1t makes rich, red
blood, bAlds up the appetite and
creates strength; in fact, it is the
best remedy we have ever sold in our
stofs for chronic coughs, colds, bron-
chitis and all lung affections.
Besides the large number of Salem
people who have been cured and made
well and strong by Vinol, we receive
many letters like the following:
I" Hon. II. Mason, of Jacksonville,
Fla, writes A couple of months ago
| contracted a severe cold, which it
seemed impossible to cure. 1t settled
on my lungs, causing a hard cough,
which kept me awake nights and soon
weakened my system so that l was un-
able to attend to my duties. Vinol
was recommended to me by friend,
and ] began to take it as directed.
The second night had only one cough
ing spell, and within a week / was not
disturbed once during the night.
Naturally, my progress was
fast after this, and my lungs healed
rapidly, my strength returned and I
gained in flesh and health. In fact,
this medicine restored me to a perfect
condition, and now I feel much better
and younger than l have for years. /
certainly think it is wonderful rene.
ly to build up run down system
"We ask every person in Salem
who has chronic cough or hard cold
TO try Vinol on our guarantee to re-
burn their money if they are not salts

A DERELIcT.

He was a shabby, shambling, shaky
old man, and as he faced Magistrate
Cornell, Of New York City, he used
this remarkable language:
"Ah, you don't know me Magis-
trate Cornell. Your like the rest of
the fine fellows who were my friends
in the old palnly days You can't see
in the nameless street peddler that
you call beggar Schuyler Van Ness,
of the old Dutch stock, the Union
League and University club man,
who lost $s,0O0,OOO in that hellhole of
a Wall street 10 years ago. That's
right. Send me to Blackwell's.
"You were my fellow member in
the University club years ago, but
you've forgotten me. We used to joke
about it in our set in the old days, but
it's solemn earnest to me now. Go
ahead. Hit a fellow when he's down.
It's the way Of the world"
The magistrate did know him.
He saw in the miserable hulk what
was left of the once dashing Schuyler
Van Ness, whose ancestors came over
from Holland with the Roosevelts.
Van Ness was arrested for begging
ON the streets, and the magistrate
thought it a mercy to send the trem-
bling wreck to Blackwell's s island for
the winter.
Speculation and whisky did it.
And the value of this human wreck
is that of an object lesson of warning
TO other men.
Floating helpless on the sea of life,
this derelict serves to remind every
passing mariner Of the dangerous
shoals and reefs.

the cultivation Of crops, the rearing
Of animals, etc, and the skilled farm
er is, of all classes, the most willing tC
impart what he knows of his occupa
ton to his neighbors.
All these educational and helping
agencies contribute to encourage the
man who in good faith seeks to better
his condition by getting back to the
pursuit of agriculture-the original
occupation of mankind.
How greatly the country at large
would be benefited by the subdivision
of land holdings and more perfect
cultivation of the soil will readily ap-
pear to any thinking mind. A thou
sand or a million men each occupying
and cultivating two to five acres Of
ground would be worth infinitely more
to any commonwealth than the same
number herded together in cities. The
taxable value of real estate would be
increased, thus Tightening
the burdens of taxation to the average
citizen. All history shows that moth
ing promotes the sturdy qualities of
patriotism and right living like the
ownership of land. This is equally true
whether the tract owned is only an
acre or whether it is broad estate.
rhe latter, however, tends to aristoc
-acy, while the small tract preserves
,elf respect and equality.
