Republican State Convention.

The republican state committee have
issued the call for the state convention
to be held in Montpelier, June 80, to
nominate state officers, four presidential
electors and a state committee. The
basis of representation is the same as in
the previous convention and Caledonia
county is entitled to 40 delegates.
At an executive session of the commit
tee held on April 10, 1904, the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the state committee
will recognize as delegates only those
who are elected by republican voters at
caucus called by the regular republican
town and city committees.
It is recommended by this committee
that the republican city and town COM
mittees, respectively, take such meas
ures as they deem effectua1 to prevent
any but legal republican voters from
taking part in the respective caucuses,
and that a check list be used at said
primary meetings;
That the primary meetings for the
election of delegates to the state conven-
ton be held in each city and town not
later than Saturday, June IS, 1904.
The basis of representation in Caledo-
MIA county, is as follows:
Barnet, 8; Burke, 3; Danville. 4; Groton,
2; Hardwick, 4; Kirby, I; Lyndon, 5;
Newark, 2; Peacham, 2; Ryegate, 2;
Sheffield, 2; St. Johnsbury, 10; Stannard,
1; Sutton, 2; Walden, 2; Waterford, 2;
Wheelock, 2. Total, 40.

An Advertising Thought.

Buying newspaper space means buy
my an audience.
The man who has nerve enough to
make liberal contract for advertising,
must have faith-faith in himself faith
in his business and faith in the news
paper he pays his money to.
Advertising is the greatest force in
business today, but it takes nerve to
use it.
The timid merchant looks at his space
in the paper and finds it hard to see
how it is worth very much.
He can't go with that ad into the
thousands of homes each day and see it
do it's work.
The fact is, the space is not the thing
he pays for at all.
Space is the only medium through
which he conveys an impression of his
goods and his store to thousands of
possible customers each day.
He can't reach them any other way.
The merchant who doesn't advertise
doesn't reach them.
The real value-the intangible thing
he really buys-is an effect on peoples
minds.
The best asset business can have is
to be continually impressed on thousands
of human brains.
You can't see it; you can't feel it, but
it does the work and sell goods

Coming June Is, 1904.

On Wednesday, June Is, the circus is
coming to St. Johnsbury. and Walter L..
Mains big railroad show will be with

ing bareback riders to be found, the

acrobats on earth, the renowned Nelson
family. Get ready and prepare to enjoy
yourself. Round trip tickets, including
admission to the circus, and good going

Antwerp Milk Woman.

There is no more picturesque figure
in quaint old Antwerp than the milk
women. For many years the milk OF
the city has been served to the houses
by these women, whose customs and
even costumes have remained I'M
changed. The milk women wear a
simple dress, almost completely COW
cred with q voluminous white apron.
A quaint white headdress completes
the uniform. Scores Of these pictur-
esque figures are to be seen through
out Antwerp in the morning hours.
The milk is either carried in two large
buckets, hung from a yoke running
across the shoulders, or in little carts
drawn by dogs.

The Bucket Shop Evil.

The suggestion of the CALIFORNIAN
that the Western Union had it in their
power to dose out the bucket shops in
the United States by refusing them tele-
graph service, is echoed in letter from
a New York commercial traveller who
writes a strong letter to the New York
Times on the subject. Here is his letter:
Why do not the press of the United
States take advantage of the present
state of public opinion, which has taken
away the service of the Western Union
from the pool rooms, and turn the
searchlight upon the identical service
bucket shops obtain from the same
Western Union? A wholesome public
sentiment exists against this evil, which
is worse by far than the pool room evil.
The bucket shop encourages gambling
among the young, the idle, the thought
less, and is indirectly and directly MUIR
sery of crime. The amount of money
lost in bucket shops that otherwise
would be diverted into legitimate circu-
lation is enormous. And the evil is wide
spread, hardly city or small town of
any size but is afflicted with this cancer
in the body polite.
1t is gambling pure and simple-simply
betting on the fluctuations OF the great
Exchanges. Not a share is actually
bought or sold. And the publicsis feeced
mercilessly. Unfortunately, it is the
clerk, the small merchant, and the man
who can least afford to lose that is
enticed into these worse than gambling
hells. The writer knows of one mer-
chant who confessed to losing in a
bucket shop $40. 900 he had inherited from
his father. Without question, the moral
standard of American life is deteriorating,
and the bucket shop is contributing its
full share toward a false standard of
living.
Use your powerful influence in leading
a public sentiment against the bucket
shops, and have them deprived of the
Geographic service, without which they
could not exist day.

A beautiful Art.

Without disparagement Of any Of the
other arts, to attain proficiency in
which people make such long and val
liant struggles, it may be truly said
that the one art Of smiling warns more
hearts than all others together. Most
children-in fact, all happy children
have an unconscious mastery of this
beautiful art, but unfortunately they
often lose it as they grow older. Chill
dren are the best judges of smiles in
the world. "Her lips SMILE said a
child, speaking of a hard faced woman,
s'but she doesn't" A widening Of the
mouth in vain endeavor to look pleas
ant is not a smile. It deceives nobody.
A smile, to be worthy OF the name,
must come from the heart. 1t is the
result of an honest willingness and
readiness to be pleased with little as
well as great things.

Americas Gibraltar.

Harpers' Bazaar for June contains an
illustrated article on the Prudential In
surance Company, which briefly reviews
its wonderful gro with since its organiza-
ton in 1875 by its president, United
States Senator John F. Dryden, up to the
present time.
In 1876 its assets were So, 232, and on
January 1, 1904, 81 years later, they
were 10000 times greater, or $72, 49,
1854 with nearly billion dollars IN
surance in force. The Prudential is a
purely American company, founded to
provide insurance for the American
people.
1t has adjusted its policies to American
conditions, bases its dividends on the
earning power of American investments
and was intended to be and has become
an insurance company for the American
people. Its remarkable growth, without
precedent in insurance, has been attained
by the perfect organization of its agency

STATE POLITICS.
A Year of Harmony.

The state republican campaign in Yer
mont this year is one which is command
ing respect and is one which will add
many additional votes to the National
ticket. Candidates for state officers are
working their campaign in a quiet way,
thus harrasing no feeling in the party.
While the campaign may impress one
as being moderate one, we believe it is
safe one, which will end in candidates
being elected who are deserving and
qualified as well, for the different state
offices. 1t certainly is a year of har-
mony.-l Waterbury Record.

DeBoer he may not intend them as such.

Our Fortunate Congressional District.

In one of his Washington letters to the
Bradford Opinion John E. Harris made
the statement that the second congress
sional district in Vermont has more
political plums than any other district
in the United States. Wegive Mr.. Harris
list below, to which could be added two
United States consuls, Frank D. Hale of
Lunenburg, stationed at Coaticook, P. O.,
John Grout, stationed at Malta, Hon.
John Barrett of Grafton, minister to
Panama, at salary of $40, 900; John w.
Titcomb, of the Bureau of Fisheries at
Washington, and numerous other Wash
ington oficeholders. 1t is certainly
remarkable showing, and as one-third of
the list are St. Johnsbury citizens we
cannot help having little local pride
that we can contribute such good men
to the public service. Here is the list:
He. Ide, Philippine commissioner and
vice governor, st. Johnsbury. salary,
5000; Z. Nd. Mansur, Island Pond,
collector of the district of Memphrema-
Cog, an approximate income of $40, 900;
c. A. Prouty, Newport, interstate COM
merce commissioner, $500; Hoyt H.
Wheeler, Brattleboro, district Judge,
$4,000; c. H. Robb. Bellows Falls,
assistant attorney general of the United
States, $4,000; w. P. Stafford, St. Johns
bury. associate justice of the court of
appeals of the district of Columbia,
$4,000; Fl. c. Bates, St. Johnsbury, fed
eral judge in the Philippines, $4,000; J.
L. Martin, Brattleboro, district attor-
ney, $4,000; Horace w. Bailey, Newbury,
United States marshal, $4,000. The
above salaries approximate nearly $685.
900, and beside these of course there are a
lot of small fry.

ONE RESULT OF HEB ACTIVITY
In THE SPANISH WAR.
An Experience of One of Bob Evans
Marine Engineers-A Direct Legacy
of the DAYS of Action.

An Experience of One of Bob Evans
Marine Engineers-A Direct Legacy
of the Days of Action.
The part played by the U. s. battle
ship Iowa at Santiago and elsewhere in
West Indian waters during the Spanish
war, is well known. People, however,
hardly dream of some Of the far-reaching
consequences Of the discipline which
had then to be maintained.
One of the brave men aboard the Iowa
bore about with him for several years
very unpleasant reminder of his service
on that famous ship. This man is Mr..
George E. Parquette, now residing at
1916 Sixth avenue, Troy, N. who was
marine engineer on the Iowa when, un
der command of Captain Bob Evans, she
was performing brilliant exploits in bat
tie and in filibuster- chasing in Cuban and
Porto Rican waters. OF those stirring
times Mr.. Parquette says:
whenever we were expecting an en-
gagement our meals were very uncer-
tain, and, when we did eat, we had to
be minute men. The constant anxiety
and haste affected my stomach and put
it in very bad condition which lasted
for four years Notwithstanding the fact
that was under doctors care. I
could scarcely keep anything ON my
stomach and I suffered greatly from
steady pains in the lower part of it. My
appetite, too, was very poor and for four
months was in bed
"Other troubles developed. had
severe headaches, and at times felt as
if something was clutohing at my heart.
My blood got out Of order and had
fever and coughing spells. My stomach
finally became SO bad that do not
think it could possibly have been worse
when, in the fall of 1908, I first heard of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and began the course Of treatment which
gave me surprising relief at once and
finally cured me-
DIR. Williams Pink Pills agree with
the most delicate stomach and create an
appetite. They put the stomach in q
condition to digest the food and insure
it's proper assimilation. They expel poi
sons from the blood and they rapidly
build up weakened constitutions and
give new vitality to overweight nerves.
They are sold by all druggists through
out the world.

the regiment, and only regret that the
lack of accommodations for the night
prevents me from inviting all the children
and grandchildren as well'
There is no occasion at this time for
any extended eulogy of Senator Proctor
and the success accomplished in bust
ness and public life. His record as SOL
der, as representative, county senator,
acknowledgement, governor, secretary
of war, and United States senator for
the last II years is it's own encomium.
It is continuous advance up the ladder
of fame; progress marred by no mis-
takes or broken friendships, but achieved
by an unsel6sh desire to serve his state
and his country.
Vermont is a little state, but one of her
chief products is men. Here is a man
that we delight to honor because of his
business sagacity, his answering integ
rity and his ideals of craftsmanship. It
is certainly remarkable that Vermont
should have furnished statesman who
has been the close political adviser of
three presidents, Harrison, Mckinley
and Roosevelt. In the memorable con-
vention of 1888 he was chairman of the
Vermont delegation and Vermont was
the only state that gave Harrison every
vote on every ballot. This steady course
finally led to break for Vermont's can
didate and Harrison was nominated.
When he was elected he asked Senator
Proctor to become his secretary of war,
and at the conclusion of his life in the
cabinet the CALIFORNIAN quoted a Wash
ington statesman as saying that Proctor
had made the best secretary of war since
Stanton. The next republican president
was quick to recognize Senator Proctor's
ability, and just before the Spanish
American war detailed him to 60 to
Cuba and study the conditions first
hand. The result of that trip was en-
bodied in speech delivered in the senate
March II, 1898. and the result of that
speech was the 100 days war, the free
dom of Cuba and a greater America.
When President Mckinley was struck
down by the anarchists bullet our pres
| ent chief executive was Senator Proctor's
guest in Vermont and President Roose-
Welt has always considered the Vermont
| senator as one of the leaders in the
party and frequently consulted him on
| matters of statecraft.
To wish one "many happy returns of
| the day" is common but none the less
hearty manner of expressing friendship :;
| to say this to one who, like the Concord
sage, has mastered the art OF "growing
old gracefully" is an especial privilege
The CALIFORNIAN joins with Vermonters
all over the world, and with the Sena-
tors good friends on land and on sea in
| hearty congratulations.
| Love bless him. Joy crown him, God
| speed his career"
