HOW THEY DIFFER.

The Second Glass License VS.. The State
Store, or Town Agency.
The Randolph Herald of April IA con-
tains the following very fair editorial
contrasting and comparing the second
class license under the present law with
the State store or town agency under the
system of State control, when private
gain is eliminated:
Commenting on the pronouncemento of
the Barre Telegram, a prohibitionist
newspaper, that "the second-class liquor
license must CO." the esteemed st.
Adams Messenger always alert to make
use of point in favor of its position,
says:-
1.-THE contemporaries comment is
significant also of the probability that no
Battell dispensary bill will receive the
support of the prohibitionists. In the
structures ON the second-class license,
The Telegram reflects the views of many
warm advocates of license. Experience
has shown in Vermont beyond all doubt
that the much-dreaded "open saloon"
| with first class license is less of an evil
than the liquor store with second-class
license. In occupying this position, the
contemporary has moved up on to the
ground where The Messenger and other
newspapers stood some years ago in their
fight against the prohibitory law and its
obnoxious "agency" rumhole. There is
almost precisely the same objection to
all three of these institutions, the prohi-
btion agency" the Battel state dis
pensary," and the local option second-
class 'store"-that a man who only
wants or should be allowed to have one
drink is sold whole drunk and practi-
cally can get nothing short of it even if
he tries"
THE Messenger might have added that
this objection lies against any method of
selling liquor in quantities sufficient to
cause intoxication-it is unsafe to put
into the hands of men that which may
be used by them to their own great
detriment. Certainly it is previously
unwise to furnish by the pint or quart
hard liquors to those who, there is good
reason to believe, will use it immoder-
ately and perhaps become drunk.
''But we cannot agree with the Mes
senger if it means to imply that there is
really no difference in degree of danger
to be apprehended from a secondclass
licensed saloon, a town agency under
the old prohibitory law, or a state store
under a dispensary system. In our
opinion, there is a wide difference be-
tween them, due to the basic principles
on which they are conducted.
at is contrary to human nature that
ones desire to enrich himself should not
incline him to give his pocket the benefit
of every doubt when the question arses
Is it safe to sell to this man? On the
other hand, when the sellers situation
depends on the pauclty of DRINKS that
can be traced to him, it is not Difficult

Judge Tyler took the right view of
the deer law when he said, in charging
the jury in case at Rutland last week
"The view of the court is that the evil
dence of all the witnesses including the
respondent shows that the deer had no
such horns as gave notice to the hunter
that he might shoot him. In other
words the horns must be visible; not
merely discoverable by touch, but they
must be of such length as to give notice
to the hunter that he may kill the deer
in open season."

TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

He will go even further, and will give
with every package he sells his personal
guarantee to refund the money if the
specific does not cure. This is certainly
a most unusual offer,--a reliable medi-
cine at half price, with the further guar
antee that your money will be cheerfully
refunded if the remedy does not cure.
Although it is only a short time since
DR.. Towards specific for the cure of
constipation and dyspepsia was first
heard of in Middlebury, yet today it is
the standard remedy in the best homes,
and is relied upon to give relief and
cure in all cases of constipation and indi-
gestion.
Anyone who is suffering from liver
trouble, constipation, sick headache, in
digestion, specks beforeithe eyes, melan-
choly, or tired feeling, should take adj
vantage of this offer. Mr.. Burt does not
know how long he will be able to sell
the specific at half price, for his sale has
been something phenomenal, sometimes
being obliged to order supplies two OF

tends to show that "where there's will

crease or increase drunkenness to any
great extent.-Hardwick Gazette.

formerly at Broad and Arch streets, and now
at Twenty. and Chestnut streets, in that

Although be was in his SD year. DR.. Seiss
preserved the yiriGty and enthusiasm OF the
prime of life until about three months ago.
An attack Of the grip then undermined his
constitution. From that time be was unable
to leave his home, aud for weeks past grew
weaker gradually. Despite this, he gave a
superb illustration of the extraordinary powers

correcting the proofs of a volume of his ser
mons, now IN press.
DIR. Seiss had spent 46 years of his ministery
in that city He went there in 1858 as pastor
of 81, Johns Sixth and Race streets, the ear
hest English speaking Luthersl church in

Incomplete Statement.

''The United States is great in production
aud wealth. How great in wealth In 1850
$500, in round numbers, was the per capita
wealth. In 1900 81, 235 was the per capita
wealth. In 1850 the wealth was measured by
sixteen billions of dollars; in 1900. ninety four
billions now, a hundred billions"
Thus spoke Chairman Cannon Of the Re
publican national convention. While the pei
capita of wealth has quadrupled since the days
of Democratic rule, the expenses of govern
ment have grown from 100000, 900 year il
1860 to $3.50, 600, 900 in 1904, mere than twelve
times as great. Under Democratic rule wealth
was distributed among the people. There
were no paupers, and the millionaires could
be counted upon the fingers of one hand
Today multi millioEnires are so numerous as
not to attract attention, and paupers have
grown in about an exact proportion.

Rev. T.P. Frost,s Prayer.

The Republican national convention was
opened by prayer by Rev. Timothy P. Frost,
of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, of
Evanston, Illinois, Part of that prayer has
| been criticised, but we think it most appro-
pirate at such a gathering. He prayed the
Almighty to save the country from all the
evils that have grown up under Republican
rule, corruption, bribery, &C., as follows;
'Save our nation, we beseech Thee, from
| all the evil things which defle the home, i'm
| pair civil liberty, corrupt politics or under
mine the integrity of commercial life. Bring
to naught the schemes of men who would de-
| bauch or Cypress human life for the gratihca
| ton of lust or for personal enrichment of
| power. May exaltation come only to men
who despise the gain ofoppressions and shake
the hands from holding of brides"
There was no impairment of civil liberty
until the Republican party came into power;
no corruption in politics, no undermining of
commercial life. The dollar was not placed
before the man. There was no corruption il
the departments of government at Washing
ton. There were no expressions for gain, no
corrupt hands holding brides for voters and
no Federal officials taking brides. There
were no assinatious of Presidents; no sacrit,
ces of honor to gain high public positions; no
strikes of laborers, and no employment of
Federal soldiers to beat down labor struggling
for fair wages and to throw off the yoke Of
oppression. No State elections were infu.
enced by the presence of Federal troops at
the polls and no innocent womsu hung for
alleged conspiracy. There was no class leg
islatiou. The many were not taxed for the
benefit of the few, and trusts we're unknown.
The only shortcomiug of the prayer is that
Mr. Frost did not ask the Ruler of the Uni
verse to save the country from more Of the
evils that have come upon US under Repubh
can rule The following extrac; from the
prayer, however, will cover much not parlic
uarly prayed for:
1--WE pray Thee 10 override the delibera
tons conclusions and issues Of this conyen-
ton for the good Of the American people and
the welfare of mankind.
The prayer was not an impromptu one. 1t
was doubtless written out aud memorized;
therefore, the reverend gentleman used the
word oreTTHls uuderstandingly. The general
and accepted meaning Of the word is to sup
press. to annul, to supersede; aud in law, to
reject, to anuul, to rule against.
Nav Rev Mr.. Frosi's prayer be answered,
to the good of the American people and the
welfare of mankind, especially in our island
possessions, by the turning ont Of the present
corruption Administration aud substituting
therefor Democratic Administration Of
honesty aud capacity to rule wisely and well.
