THE HOME. ITS PROBLEMS IND INTERESTS
THE LADY AND
THE ELEVATOR

We have heard a good deal Of the man
ner in which one woman treats another
in the cars: how she will sit down COM
fortably. taking up enough room for
two. while tired looking woman stands.
until someone asks her 20 move up:
but the way in which women behave In
elevators is a new theme.
An experienced elevator man. one who
has some knowledge of the world. and
.has seen better days. was speaking on
that point recently. He said it was as
founding to watch some women behave
I'm manner which. II assumed by a
member of the other sex. would cause
him to be dubbed ungentlcmanly
Elevators. crowds. trolley cars, and
symphony rushes seem to bring out wo-
mems bad points. and they jostle and
elbow each other in truly football
fashion. Yet many contend that women
I'm shops and Offices should be given the
same consideration they are accorded
at home.
Right in the Doorway.
When the general woman gets into
an elevator on the first floor. she takes
her stand right in the doorway, re-
CARELESS of those who may wish to dis
mount at the second floor Everyone
who comes in or goes out is obliged to
crush past her as best they may, be-
cause she wants to get out at tie firth
floor. or she stands there because she Is
too indolent to move back into the car
A man in the same position would go
to the rear of the car asd stand facing
the door, and trust to luck to get out
when the time came
Again. she rarely remembers to tell
the conductor where she wishes to get
out. and If ne does not happen TO have
studied thought transference, she re
sents being carried up to the top of the
building. and by her particular floor.
Everlasting Attraction.
An elevator with a mirror IS a source
of great delight to the elevator conduc-
tor. for then he can satisfy his mind as
to the general vanity OF human nature.
and before he is a week at his post he
can truly say with Solomon that Yer
lily. everything is vanity"
AS a rule, the occupants take peep
In the mirror six or seven times while
they are going up as many stories.
Some people gaze at their reflections all
the time they are in the elevator and
carry on a conversation with some one
at the same time.
Men are not exempt from this habit,
for 1t is a toss-up as TO which sex is the
vainer. A woman will glance at a mir
ror to see If her hat is on straight, and
that she has no stray locks waving in
the breeze. but a man carries a mirror
In his pocket for ready and frequent
reference.
OF course. there are women who have
good share of the milk OF human
Kindness" and these never act selfishly
in any position, but we are speaking of
the exceptions that go 20 prove the
rule. See IL you don't notice these
things when next you are in dry goods
store.

SEEN AND
UNSEEN

Many people think of
SCOTS Emulsion as merely
a flesh builder, but its flesh
building is only an outward
sign of the new Iife-buiIding
process within the vital
parts of the body.
It builds up the blood
cells, the nerves and life
tissues before the added
flesh begins to appear.
It's unseen work is more
important than the seen.

THAT DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION


The Democratic convention held here
Friday afternoon to elect delegates to
the Charleston convention was an ex-
hibition of the way the leaders of the
party in this county do things and a
demonstration of their inability to gov
ern. They showed themselves mfamiI,
Jar with all the customary parliamentary
rules and practices.
But that was not the most striking
feature of the convention. Even those
who were there as delegates admit that
there is diversity of opinion on public
questions, among them that is alarming
and not Indicative of united and concert
ed effort among them. The disrespect
shown some of the speakers, when mem
bers OF the convention cried at the top
of their voices, rats" and called for
the question in order to throttle off some
of the speakers, who were recounting
their own loyalty to the party and many
things they had done for Democracy
is a sign of the impotence the mod
en Democrat has. with those who cling
to traditions and are unwilling for the
country to adjust itself to new condi.
tions and be up with the times. Mod
ern Democracy has no use for that sort
Of theory and admires the Republican
party for its aggrsssiveness and pro.
gressiveness.
Further than that. There were many
strong limitations that new blood in
tended to control the destinies Of the
Democratic party in Harrison county and
not those old timers, whose course mas
ever Kept the party down.
More significant features still present
ed themselves at this famous convention.
Among these we're the many ideas Of
Democracy various members of the CON

esr efforts to regulate and bring within
the bounds OF the law the Northern Sc
eurities Company. Purposely, no doubt,
they RETAINED from making public that
fact, fearing that the actual truth in
his particular would undo their erron-
cons argument and assertions about the
iaek Of the government in looking after
the interests OF the people. But they
did say Cleveland and full Democratic
administration failed 10 do what Mr..
Roosevelt has thus far accomplished
along that line. The admission is sig
nifeant, as it is an acknowledgement
that the Democratic party is not able
to cope with questions Of that sort.
Again, there were those who tried to
rob President Roosevelt of the glory of
having broken the anthracite coal
strike by saying that Democratic as
pirant for the presidential nomination
did lC. Ask the laboring man about this.
II has generally been conceded by them
and every one else of fairness, that Mr..
Roosevelt accomplished that.
It was noticeable that the delegates
from the county distrusted some of the
great lights OF the city and made in
sisent demands for full explanation and
clear understanding of the resolutions
that were offered and adopted. They
had come to the city with blood in their
eye and they meant not to be tricked.
That situation appears to signify that
they are not going to silently and gently
submit to leadership that is distaste-
full to them and to Which they object.
There are other lessons learned at that
convention, which will be given from
time to time and by the time they are
all exhausted it will have become one
Of the most famous gatherings, as well
as the most frutless from Democratic
standpoint, within recent history at
least Of the Democratic party in Har-
rison county.
II was an eye-opcner for an element
of that party and there will be wailing
and crashing of teeth among them when
the full significance is learned.

There was so much denunciation of
one another in the Democratic conven-
ton here and such remarkable denun-
citation and reputation of modern De-
mocracy that it was no wonder they
feared to resolve on any thing. They
were afraid it seems to get themselves
on paper and also probably afraid that
the denunciations they INDUCED one to-
ward the other might become matter
of record. So it was long before they
came to the point of appointing com
mittee on resolutions, and, when the
committee did get together, it selected
for its chairman fellow who had stout,
ly protested against resoluting, and as
consequence tine report of the com,
mittee was very vague and 50 indefinite
That il had to be explained in lengthy
speech, which. many who heard it, said
was harmful to the party. but which re-
suited in the adoption of the resolu-
tions as reported by tne committee.

yntion hold. II was great from Re
publican standpoint TO hear one of the
old war horses of Democracy, born and
bred in the faith, denonnce one element
Of the party as scoundrels Of the first
water, men who intrigued and worked
surreptitiously and resorted to all sorts
OF corruption. This speaker strongly
intimated that he suspected as much on
that occasion Of members of the con.
yention. And he demanded that he he
given an opportunity to declare himself
by resolution, 50 that the party might
know wnere he stands.
Another made bitter denunciation Of
the last Democratic president the coun-
try mad and assured the convention that
he would bolt if Cleveland or any Of his
ne gets the presidential nomination.
He also accused the convention of hav-
ing plan on to throttle the voice of
the country people, in favor of Parker
and the monopolists backing him.
Still another tried to excuse Cleve-
land by saying he was a great president
but that he did not favor him any more.
And then he felt 1t necessary to state
that he was opposed to all the great nat
ional leaders of the Democratic party.

these are the man who in times past
brought several victories to the party in

this he lauded to the skies man who is
known far and wide as socialist, de-
spoiler Of society, libertine and thief
and attempting to place that sort of
man above that truly greatest of Amer.
cans. Theodore Roosevelt.
They cried out against corruption in
the departments at Washington, but had
to admit that Roosevelt was cleaning
things up there in the most satisfactory
manner. The assumptions and brazen
part Of it was, however, their claim
that they are doing it. A set of ignor-
lmuses would know better Another
feature was that they would not let
their delegates at Charleston vote for

The Government Wins Its Case.

The United States Supreme Court has,
by majority vote of five to four, up
held the decision of the lower court in
the Northern Securities case, declaring
that company to be illegal under the
Sherman antitrust law, and ordering its
dissolution.
The vital points of the decision may
be summarized as follows:
/. The stockholders of Great Northern
and Northern Pacific, having competing
and parallel lines, combined in a holding
company.
2. Northern Securities became holder
of more than a majority of each stock.
3. Necessarily the holding COM
pany dominates the situation in the
interests of those who were stockholders
of the constituent companies just as
much as though it were railroad cor
poration.
4. The constituent companies, neces-
sarily ceased to be competitive, and
became practically one company.
5. The earnings make common fund
in the hands of Northern Securities
6. The existence of the combination
and the power in the hands of one com.
pany constitute a menace to freedom of
commerce.
7. If not destroyed the adj
vantages, to the public. Of competition
will be lost and the commerce of that
country will be in the hands of one
corporation, organized in far distant
state.
8. 1t is not necessary to show that
such combination results or will result
in a total suppression of trade or in {
monopoly.
o. The Sherman law does not interfere
with state rights, or regulate the inter
nal commerce of the states.

martial Vermont Court.

The Burlington Free Press pays high
and well-deserved tribute to the integ-
rity of the Supreme Court judges of this
State in recent editorial. The sympa-
thies of the Free Press have been with
the losing side in several cases that have
been recently before the Supreme Court,
but, although it was unpleasant to have
put into Office mayor and a chief of
police against whom it had worked hard
there is no shadow of question as to the
its words. The Journal has taken occa-
sion previously to speak its mind freely
in approval of the wisdom and honesty
of the Vermont Supreme Court judges,
and has called attention to the high rank
which the decisions of the Vermont
courts are given among the multitude
nous decisions rendered each year in the
various courts of this country. 1t COM
mends to its readers the greater part of
what the Free Press says on the sub
ject:
"If the courts of Vermont had been
in need of vindication, which is doubt
full in view of the high respect in viii CHI
our judicial tribunals and our court de-
cisions are held at home as well as
throughout the country, that vindica-
ton would have been furnished by
events of the past few months, and of
tbo no OF fav, 6aus
"Vermont's Supreme Court is COM
posed of seven judges, elected biennially
by the Legislature. At the present time
six of the members of our supreme
judicial tribunal are Republicans and one
is Democrat. II partisan considera-
tons could prevail in the judiciary,
certainly no broader opportunity could
be afforded than that offered by the
Republican preponderence in the SUI
preme Court of Vermont BY applying
the test of partisanship, which might be
expected to have influence, if at all
with judges elected Ivy II partisan legis
lature every other year, our supreme
bench is tried and not found wanting.
'1n the first place several cases in
connection with the municipal govern
ment of Burlington have been consid
cred by the Supreme Court of Vermont
during the past twelve months, eacl
of which involved partisan politics
In each instance the Republican court
handed down a decision, which worked
to the benefit of the opposite politca
party; and for that very reason the
decision of the court was regarded will
all the more respect.
"a more recent case was that involv
ing the question whether or not thu
ticket placed in nomination by tn,
citizens caucus in st. Adams for sup
port at the recent city election should
be placed. on the official ballot. AS
matter of equity there seemed to b'
every reason why the Republicans ant

those Democrats who desired to act
with them in a citizens movement
should enjoy the right to put their
ticket on the ballot beside that of the
Democrats. A trivial technicality was
overlooked, however, and as a matter of
law Judge Start held that the citizens
ticket could not be printed on the official
ballot. The decision was in opposition
to the interests Of friends as close to
Judge Start as could probably be found,
yet neither personal nor partisan con-
siderations swayed him to the slightest
degree from what he regarded as
right.
1T may be said that these cases were
so plain our judges could not do other
wise than to render the decisions in the
various cases announced, but even
granting this to be true. cases are on
record in which courts in other States
were put to similar tests and did not
come out unscathed. From whatever
standpoint one may choose, the people
of Vermont can not fail to regard these
decisions as proof that they can look to
our supreme judicial tribunal firm in the
belief that they will receive full justice
at the hands of our judges"
There is one thing that should not
be forgotten, however, in considering
the position of the Vermont judges.
As the Free Press says, they are elected
by partisan legislature. But ordinar-
lily there is no party vote cast when they
are elected. AT the last Legislature
every Judge was elected unanimously.
The only question which the Legislators
of Vermont have yet learned to consider
is the fitness of the men for the position,
says the Daily Journal. May partisan
ship forever leave Vermont's judiciary
alone.

refused "to take when exposed" to the
disease are congratulating themselves on
their good judgement. The Free Press
says:
zone hears little about the trading
stamp in Burlington as compared with
the figure it formerly cut in connection
with various stores in this city, and it is
evident the people are learning that no.
body can reasonably expect to get some
thing for nothing. In other words they
have come to realize very largely that
somebody must pay for the goods secured
with certain number of trading stamps
and that the merchant is not going to
pay therefor if he knows it."
The Barre Times comments on the
sbove as follows: 1.-THE merchants of
Barre refused to accept the trading
stamp scheme, and the result in other
cities and towns of the state is showing
them the wisdom of their refusal. AT
the same time the trading public has not
demanded the stamps, thus lending a
direct support to the merchants. There
is abundant cause for congratulation all
around"

There is certainly need of good mission
airy work in the back towns of this State
if Vermont does not want to rival even
Kentucky in the number of murders,
and nameless crimes committed in the
backwoods. The Worcester murder,
following so soon after the awful dis
closures made at the Bean murder trial,
shows that something must be done soon
to better the conditions in those towns.
This is certainly one of the most serious
problems the State and society has faced
in Vermont in many years. The
churches should devote all their mission
airy efforts to these regions in Vermont.
The need is far greater than that of any
foreign lands.

The other paints are more or less short

The final returns from the several
savings banks and savings institutions
in the state have been received by
State Tax Commissioner j. f. Cushman,
of Burlington. They indicate that the
people of Vermont have been thrifty
during the past six months or that they
have withdrawn from different kinds of
investments and placed their money in
savings institutions. For six months
ending December 81, 1908, the institu-
tions paid in taxes on deposits the sum
S157, 707.65, while for the previous six
months they paid 1852 ,29544. The
grand total is 1910, 622.73 The grand
total for 1902 was 1884 ,62273, which
gives an increase in 1908 over 1902 of
