DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

by local application as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intlamed condition OF the mucous lining 'ot
the Eustachian Tube. when this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result. and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

Retire n C h mont and Economy
Expected by the People.


Political platforms generally contain
more or less antiquities and that of the
republican party adopted at Montpelier
last June was not free from such, but
surely that plank calling for retrench-
ment and advocating such could be in
terpreted in but one way. 1t was plain
unvarnished English. The spellbinders
of the September campaign used it as
one of their slogans. The state press
supplemented the utterances of the cam
paign orators with repeated calls for a
general cutting down of unnecessary ex-
penses and the people were told that
such requests and recommendations were
needed.
AS vet the official records of the Gen
eral Assembly show but small reason to
believe that this pledge of the party
stands for but little more than might be
termed vocal pyrotechnics which are in
variably associated with the manufacture
of enthusiasm incident to political cam
paign.
Already a bill has been introduced
making the state auditor a supreme
potentate not only in his own domain
but over the people of Vermont. This
measure would give the auditor power to
refuse even the chief executive of the
state the privilege of examining the re-
cords of the public business. Because
the auditor may say that a thing is SO
would have to be accepted as final under
the Miles bill. Whether we were re-
trenching or not would have to remain
matter of conjecture during the biennial
term and until the state auditor should
make his report the people would have
no opportunity to ascertain the amount
of our daily, monthly or annual dis
bursements. Vermont is not to be gov
erned by a despotic monarchy. Our
form of government is that of a republic
and as such is a government of the peo-
pie, for the people, and by the people.
From the outset the tendency of the
legislature has not been toward retrench-
ment and a policy of open-handedness.
To us it would seem that a coalition
exists between the politicians and those
we might term leaders in the legislative
body; a coalition which is not intended
to subserve the interests of the people of
Vermont but rather the opposite. With
out this coalition amendments to the
liquor law would materialize and would
receive the sanction of the Legislature.
These amendments would be along COM
nonsense and business lines and during
the next biennial term would add to the
revenues of Vermont approximately a
million of dollars and to that extent
reduce the burden of taxation. This
Repeated attempts have been made during
the present legislative session to indulge
in a systematic raising of the salaries of
state officers and only the fear of future
has evidently thwarted the efforts of the
promoters of these schemes which upon
sight bear the earmarks of the profession
al politician.
The Register hopes that the legislature
will relieve itself of this kind of manage
ment and show themselves capable OF
fearless and independent action for the
interests of Vermont. Relegate the
Miles bill to obscurity, and with it all
that kind of leadership which would
foster private, or personal, instead OF
public interests.

The overwhelmingly majority given to
President Roosevelt on his election to
the highest office within the gift of the
people on Tuesday last bespeaks volumes
for the administration under the guild
ance of this man of strenuous methods.
1t was landslide and beyond the ex-
pectation of the enthusiasts. A spade
has always been termed as such with Mr..
Roosevelt and where he has had author
ity to do as he felt inclined he has re-
fused to listen to the dictates of politi-
clans. His record, coupled with his
method of doing things that will find a
place in history, his loyalty to his coun-
try, together with his motto: "a square
deal for every man." has won for this
typical specimen of American manhood,
Theodore Roosevelt, the title of President
of the United States, won by the votes of
millions of contented people wishing to
pay tribute of loyalty to a man whose
sincerity they doubted not.

1t is apparent from the general COM
wise to postpone consideration of the
Morrill, Hall bill. If in the interim the
senators will consult public sentiment as
they can hear it expressed on the streets
and in public places generally, they can
not fail to come to the conclusion that
if the proposition to put 100000 into
this building were to be submitted to the
people of the state at large to-day, it
would be overwhelmingly defeated.-St.
