The Man for the People.
New England Farmer.l

Charles j. Bell, whose portrait anc
sketch of whose career we present il
another column, is the man whom Yer
mont farmers will probably choose fol
governor Of the state this year. A
man of wide knowledge and experience,
he has also definite acquaintance, by
years of association and close contact,
with the agricultural population OF
the state, its conditions and needs.
He has the kindness of fellow feeling
for farmers and the ability and the
energy to work for their interests in
the commonwealth.
Until recently the farmers of Yer
mont have shown too litsle interest
and activity in the politics of the
state they have plodded along at their
work, seemingly content to let the
lawyers and professional politicians do
as they would with the government.
But of late they have been awakening
to the fact that there is no more hon
orable or important calling than theirs
in all the land, or one in which sound
judgment and scientific knowledge
may be more profitably employed.
They have evidently decided to have
something to say about the government
of the state OF which they form so
powerful an element and they have
been organizing for legislative activity.
Furthermore, they have produced
candidate for governor whom they be-
leve to be in full harmony with their
purpose of making the state govern
ment one purely of and for the people.
This candidate is Mr.. Bell
1t has been claimed that the gov
ernor of Vermont has little executive
power and is not potential factor in /
the management of state affairs; but /
while this may be true in measure,
he may, if he have purpose, and an
for that purpose, exert a
strong influence in all channels Of
state interests. 1t behooves the people
to choose for this honorable position a
man whose purposes are unselfish and
in line with their own; and at the
same time a man whose views of life
are broad enough to note, without
other interests from
The least to the greatest, besides those
with which he has identified himself. I.
Such a man is Mr.. Bell
1t now remains to be seen whether |
he farmers of Vermont are wide
wake and well-organized enough to {
larry out successfully their efforts for {
he betterment of state government in /
he face of the machine politicians. /
They will have to be prompt and de- i
ided in their movements. Every {
nan must be on hand, when time for G
elton comes, from the very beginning '
f the campaign. In a country like ]
his, people do not ask for things they
7ant, like subjects; they get them. !
A number of good men and able a
len have been named for nomination Q
S governor of Vermont; but there is r
My one on whom the farmers can 4
afely rely as their devoted, capable Q
nd rightful champion, and that is r
'harles j. Bell He is the man for ii
be people. n

The tramp" who sends us an
anonymously exuberant postal card
protest in answer to our anti-tramp
editorial of last week is respectfully
referred to the Burlington Free Press
as foeman worthy of his steel. The
Free Press argues that tramps have
a better knowledge of our highways
than any other class of people; that
they have never helped any in the
improvement of the roads-which
they ought to do-therefore the legis-
lature should establish an open sea-
son for the capture of tramps to be
put at work on the highways. If doc
trines like these continue to be
preached in Vermont, along with the
good roads demand. the state will
soon be no fit abiding place for our
friend of the postal card and others
of his ilk.

IT COSTS YOU NOTHING.
George e. Greene Will Return Your
Money If Mio-na Does Not Cure

You.
There are hundreds of people in
Brattleboro who were not the least
bit surprised when they read in the
Reformer that George E. Greene is
selling Mi-o-na on a guarantee to re-
fund the money in case it did not
cure. This marvellous dyspepsia rem
edy will cure the worst case of indi-
gestion, headache, dizziness or the
fiicts every one suffering with stom-
ach trouble
Mi-o-na does not simply relieve;
it cures. George E. Greene can tell
you of many well-known people i'm
this city whom this remedy mas re-
stored to health, often after they
have tried many other methods of
treatment with little or no benefit.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise of a pleased customer. And
there are hundreds in Brattleboro to-
day praising Mi-o-na because 1t
cured them. A few months ago they
could eat nothing without wonder
ing what the result would be. Since
using Mi-o-na they eat what they
want and when they want with no
fear of suffering.
This medicine is in the form of
small tablet, very pleasant to take
and costs only soc. a box. 1t Is
pure medicine that speedily and per-
manently cures all forms of stomach
trouble and is the only one that can
be sold under a positive guarantee
any restriction. to refund
he money if it does not cure.

The reunion at Proctor this week
between Senator Redfeld Proctor and
the survivors Of his regiment was one
of those events of human interest
which can not be reflected upon with
out emotion. There is peculiar kim
ship among men who passed together
those days when great issues of life
took issue against bloodshed and
death and won, We congratulate the
senator and his guests on their privi-
leges of such kinship and such MEM
cries.

1t would not hurt the true dignity
of any American to kneel before so
honorable and honored man as the
pope, whether or not he may be di-
vinely endowed with power. II Amer
leans are so puffed with conceit and
self importance that 1t wounds their
vanity to kneel to authority or to kiss
a hand that Yields a sceptre, they
would better stay at home or keep
out of the presence of kings and
popes. Independence when 1t reaches
that stage of development which
bucks up against prescribed forms of
etiquette abroad is simply bad breed

The possibility of infection

BEET SUGAR ASSOCIATION.
Meeting Addressed by the Secretary of
Agriculture.

The American Beet Sugar Association
held meeting here yesterday, about
twenty-five persons being present, and lis
tening to addresses from officials of the
Department of Agriculture. Secretary Will
son told the beet sugar men that his heart
was in the development of the home sugar
industry.
DIR. Wiley, the chemist. made some sug
gestions as to the utilization Of the by
products of the factories. DIR. Galloway of
the bureau of plant industry spoke of the
visit of an agent of the department to Eu-
rope. who Investigated the working of the
seed beet sugar farms of Germany, France
and Austria. The result of the agents OBJ
servations, DR. Galloway said. would be an
effort to develop the homegrown sugar
beet in the states of Washington. Utah and
Colorado.
The agent expressed the opinion that
he could produce a seed from which could
be grown beet containing % per cent of
sugar. This Is per cent greater than the
average of Europe, or a production of eighty
pounds more sugar to every ton of beets
than heretofore has been obtained. The old
officers and board of directors of the as
ISOLATION were reelected.

N. E. Citizens and Street Railways.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
desire to call your attention to an error
in your report of the proceedings of the
Northeast Washington Citizens Associa-
ton in your issue of last evening, which,
in justice to all parties concerned, should
be corrected. I am reported as follows:
President Tucker said he hoped every
member of the association would favor the
Old Dominion project, as it will be of vast
ly more advantage to the people generally
than would be the proposed extensions of
the Capital Traction line"
This is contrary to my report, In which I
said that "the proposed extensions of the
Capital Traction line would be vastly more
advantageous to the citizens of the north
east, as well as to the people generally.
than would be the Old Dominion project,

Sent to Jail for Six Months.

John johnson and Frank Harris colored
residents of Georgetown, were the princi-
pals in trial at the Police Court today,
Johnson appearing the defendant and
Harris as the chief witness. The men had
some trouble last night, which was brought
to an end by Johnson striking Harris on
the head with a bayonet. He denied the
charge. but several bruises on Harris head
indicated that he had been roughly handled
and a fine of $50 was imposed on Johnson.
Imprisonment in jail for six months was
named by Judge Kimball as the equivalent
to the fine.
