Windsor County Platform.

Resolved, That this convention of
Windsor County Republicans realizes
that there are essential defects in the
present law for regulation of the liquor
traffic in Vermont, and we have conf
dence in the ability and purpose of the
Senators and Representatives of this
county to lend their best thought and
untiring efforts in the next Legislature,
to bring about some measure which shall
work to the best good and welfare of the
citizens of this state in the matter of
Intoxicating liquors.
Resolved, That this convention also
realizes the imperative need of some
statute which shall wisely and equitably
govern the conduct of political party
caucuses in Vermont; we will devoutly
labor and devote our interest to that end,
and we earnestly hope that no other issue
or interest may be allowed to prevent
decisive action upon this matter, which
so deeply underlies the purity of
elections, in state where the caucus
and the nominating convention of a
single party are practically decisive of
State elections.
Resolved, That we express our deeI
appreciation of the untiring efforts of
our senior senator Redfield Proctor, in
behalf of the welfare of the nation and
of our state, and we urge our senators tC
heartily support his reelection to the
United States Senate.

Jack Harris on Congress.

The brilliant executor of the Norris
vile Messenger thus writes his old paper
concerning the late lamented:
Well, brethren, twas a long, hard,
cold winter down on the Potomac, and a
record of six weeks sleighing busted all
records. Congress adjourned April %,
just as it was getting warm enough to
shuck my ulster, and l had to stay a
fortnight longer to get warm. The
doin's in the Senate were mighty dry all
winter, and spontaneous combustion
was imminent all along Dryer'n a
covered bridge throughout, the anti
canteen law in full force and effect and
everybody cussin' and anxious to get
through and 90 home. So they got two
months earlier than the average date
for the adjournment of the long session
of Congress. Uncle Joe at the House
end and the administration leaders in
the Senate hurried up matters to get
through before somebody made a bad
break and hurt the party, and the Demo-
Gratis were willing to go before they run
emptins" even worse than they had done
all along if such a thing Were possible.
They utterly failed to get together on
anything, or to manufacture a live issue
for campaign purposes, and they
thought they might as well 90 home and
begin the campaign by bowling on gen.
eral principles.

Lest We Eorqet.

In an excellent editorial on alag day"
the Albany Times says:
"Do you want wealth? Win it.
Do you want fame? Win it.
Do you want position? Win it.
Do you want the love and confidence
of people? Win it.
Do want a good wife and home and
happiness and contentment? Deserve
them and win them.
The gates are open. You can get
what you want in this marvellous land
by intelligent labor and intelligent think
ing.
You can be what you will, and it is as
true today as it was 1877 years ago when
the American flag was born.
OF course there are ills. There must be
when the affairs of life are guided by
human minds and hands.
But, compared to the benefits that are
being showered on nearly S0000,0 900
people, they are nothing.
1t is the best country on the face of
the globe, and the flag, the emblem of
progress, equality, liberty, charity, kind
ness, should float over every home in the
land at least one day in each year-lest
we forget"
Cut this out young man and paste it in
your hat. You can be what you will to
be, if you bend all your energies on the
one goal and keep yourself clean, true
and pure
1t pays to be honest, to be temperate,
to be true to yourself.

Arbiter Com m e n d e d /.

Practically the entire press of this
country and many of the leading Eng
fish papers commend the work of Hon.
Frank Plumley as arbiter in the great
Venezuela case. The Boston Record
says:
"Arbter Plumley, of Vermont, in his
decision on Great Britain's claims, which
with those of other nations led to the
last Venezuelan complications, allows
only per cent interest, the Venezuelan
statutory rate, instead of 3 per cent
demanded. This will tend to check the
cupping process which European nations
have been practicing upon the South
American republics, and make our inter-
vention less frequent and less necessary.
The Plumley ruling that any resident of
Venezuela born in that country is a
citizen, regardless of the nationality of
his parents, English, German, French,
even American, is sound logic and fol-
lows the law of nations. 1t is a ruling
which ought to give Venezuelans control
over that irresponsible class of disturb
ers who have interfered in local affairs,
and when about to be punished were
found hidden in the foreign legations
because their fathers or mothers were
born in some other land"
Nermonters have had reason to feel
proud of Mr. Plumley before and they
feel doubly so now to have his work
praised by great international lawyers.
