do II TODAY"

The time-worn injunction, "Never put
off till tomorrow what you can do to-
day is now generally presented in this
form: "Do it today That is the terse
advice we want to give you about that
hacking cough or demoralizing cold with
which you have been struggling for
several days, perhaps weeks Take some
reliable remedy for it ToDAY-and let
that remedy be DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup, which has been in use for over
30 years. A few doses of it will undoubt-
edly relieve your cough or cold, and its
continued use for a few days will cure
you completely. No matter how deep
seated your cough, even if dread con-
sumption has attacked your lungs,
German Syrup will surely effect a cure
as it has done before in thousands of
apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.

After speaking a good word for the
candidates, the Randolph Herald closes
a very sensible editorial as follows:
But still there are many Republican
voters not wholly satisfied with either of
these men. The call is loud and deep
for someone to lead who has the admir-
able qualities of these men-and more.
This is an important year. The condi-
tons are unusual. The necessity for a
large majority in September is great.
The party is not in its ordinary state of
unity and harmony. 1t has been rent
by dissension and the wound is not
healed. A great deal may depend on
the choice of party leader this year. He
should be not only man of the highest
capacity, but his personality and his
record should be such as to attract the
vote of every citizen claiming to be a
Republican when September comes.
The candidate should be one enjoying a
personal strength among the people
that would harmonic all differences
and create a real enthusiasm in his
favor.
"Such candidate we believe the Hon.
Joseph A. DeBoer, of Montpelier. would
be. No one gainsays his high ability, or
questions his fitness for the governor
| sniU' LII tne Opliiol Vi thoSe NHo hilO"
him well, Mr.. DeBoer would throw into
this position all the intense vigor that
has characterized his conduct of what
ever public or private duty has beer
entrusted to him. That this has beer
notable all will agree who have followed
his career from humble boyhood up tC
his present position as president of tn,
National Life Insurance company. He
justly ranks among the leading business
and public men of Vermont and New
England.
young men would feel in the choice
of Mr. DeDoer distinct encouragement
to their own proper ambitions. He il
of them and with them and represent
the idea of mature and vigorous you'll
in the State better than any of the othe
gentlemen named. He is fresh from tn
people, independent by nature, unfet
tered by obligations, has not grown stall
in office, and, best of all, will come t
the font, if he comes at ALL because tn
people want him and send up an earnes
and insistent call for him.
LET the watchword be 'DeBoer
and let 1904 be the year when the otfic
seeks the man, not the man the Office"

SOME TRUTHS PLAINLY TOLD.

The Tribune isn't advocating guzzling;
it isn't booming Clementism; it's for per-
sonal temperance and Republicanism 80
issues in the year. Just at present the
Republican party in Vermont is facing
crisis. The national organization right
fully expects of Vermont an old-time
Republican majority. The probable
nomination of Judge Parker as the dem
Ocratic color-bearer means that all the
secret distrust of Roosevelt by the trusts
will find an outlet in quiet support of
Parker, safe" democrat. Vermont
simply must lead off with big Republi-
can majority. And how is Vermont
prepared:
! The sheer at Clements defeat in Rut-
land is all right, and party men gener-
ally regard that skirmish as the begin
ming of the end. 1t may be, and for the
healthful prosperity of the Republican
party the Tribune hopes it is, but bear
this much distinctly in mind: Republi-
cans haven't done with Clement yet. He
will stand outside the party, potent and
menacing factor, until he is nominated
for governor until he has forced his will
in some fashion upon the party, or until
he is licked out of his everlasting boots.
And nominating a prohibitionist GER
tainly isn't the way to do the trick this
year. Not by a large margin and several
segments yet uncut

There is not the slightest reason to
believe that Mr.. DeBoer will consent to
accept the nomination. His letter of
last December gave no encouragement,
and he has said nothing since that time
to indicate that he had changed his
mind.-Barre Telegram.
True, Mr.. DeBoer did say that he was
not a candidate for the nomination. But
in the following paragraph of his letter
he stated:
cat this time l may say frankly that
Shoutd like TO be gOUernor for the sake OF
the service, and If that Sercice acaS before
me in the form of an actual choice, /
1could gladly and proudly respond to the
call"
There could be no palmer or more
explicit statement made, it seems to us,
to show that Mr.. DeBoer would accept
the governorship if it were offered him.
Whether or not we misconstrue the
meaning of the letter may be a matter
of individual opinion. But the construc-
ton given is the meaning in plain black
and white, from our Interpretation of it.

the coin, but gave him q quarter, say

Here is a reward for being honest,

That night he slept little, partly on ac-

money deliberately in the same way

It would be necessary only to drop 4
coin near some one; then the reward
would come in the way Of present for
honesty.
