FRIDAY, JANUARY 20. 1909.
The Caucus Law.

We are not denying or admitting mat
here in Vermont thee was sufficient
c,use to warrant the enactment ot
caucus law at the late session. The
trend of thought demanded that some
thing be done to prevent the possible
packing aud improper influencing OF the
caucuses, and the present law was
evolved We trust it will be found
equal to any demand which may be
made upon il. However We cannot say
that We are heartily III accord with the
proposition that every voter shall.months
before the holding OF a caucus, declare
himself and his intentions. thereby
binding him against a change OF honest
purpose before the holding OF subse-
ouent caucus As AL example: John
Doe in April certihes his intention TO
act with the democratic party, and his
name appears in that connection on the
check list completed on or before the
fifth day of June. A caucus to nolni'
nate candidate for city representative
from Darlington, to be supported hy the
prohihitionists is called during the last
week in August. Since April John Doe
has been receiving educational minist'a
tions from the Rev. Mr.. Morrow, and
has been brought to see the error OF his
ways in the past, and he makes up his
mind to fully support the candidates OF
the prohibition party, and his purpose
is honorable and true. He has tour
months in which to study and consider,
and his mind is made up. lie attempts
to vote in the caucus of the prohibition
PARTY held in August, aud for this
attempt even, he is subject to fine OF
SlO0 Even more and still more cruel
the Rev. Mr.. Morrow is subject to the
same fine for melting him to vote in
any other than the democratic caucus
This simply illustrates one way ii
which the law might operate as to any
one who had honestly changed his politi
cal sentiments, or who had tried tt
influence friend or neighbor to vote
otherwise than AS indicated by his foul
months previous declaration; notwith
standing, to vote as he then expressed
his intention W uld be false TO his con
victious and belief.
We apprehend however that but few
towns will try to operate under the new
law. Probably the kind of corruption
aimed at has affected the primaries OF
but few towns in the State. The cities
and larger towns may be benefited by
the new safeguards, but the most of the
small towns will consider that theii
citizenship is sufficiently honorable a.
not to need to be thus watched.

GAINING RAPIDLY,

The Boston journal, selling at One Cent,
Has Increased Its Circulation Immensely.
The Boston journal has been making
remarkable record during the past
year. 1t has gained in circulation every
month in 1904 except April, and has to.
day $4,000 net circulation.
This means a growth of over 1900
sales in the brief space of twelve months.
and shows how popular the paper has be-
come.
Although sold now everywhere for |
cent, it keeps up all the departments that
a 2-cent paper carries, having its usual
strong editorial and financial depart
ments, its entertaining dramatic and
musical department and a whole page de-
voted to women and women's affairs, and
edited by the best womens editors Of
New England.
Its sporting department is regarded as
remarkably good, and even those who
take other papers find that they turn to
the journal for the comments and news
that its columns carry on the sports of
the day.
This growth in circulation has been
accompanied by big growth in adver-
Using, so that today The Boston Journal
carries the advertising of all the large
stores in Boston.

Ladies Aid of Morgan Church.

At Morgan Church. the Ladies Aid
Have iahored hard; inprovem uts made,
And are entitled to much praise
For good they've doue il various ways.
They wrought like busy honey bees,
Or like the beavers Telling trees;
BY asking eggs they first began,
Aud then enlarged their former plan.
They sought for aid in every form
The church and vestry to adoru.
And with the proceeds carpets bought.
And in other ways have comfort sought.
For the organ they too have paid,
Which for church service oft is played
The service for Communion day
They also bought for ready pay.
They've helped the pastors claim to pay,
And done it in quiet way.
They have some cash at their command,
TO do the good that comes to hand.
Like DoIcas i'll the days of Paul
They have nice garments made for all
Sometimes they sold them for price,
At other times they gave for Christ.
They've labored hard without reward,
For public good and for their Lord;
Aud from the first twas understood
1t all was done for Others good.
They've done for all their very best,
And feel the Lord their work has blest
And i'll the coming reckoning day
For all their toll lie will repay.
An invitations, free to all
TO come aud see our vestry hall;
And in the church is free seat,
For all who wish with us to meet.

''revlsionists' to specify rather than

the tariff schedule. The Times has
responded with all argument brought to

all accounts such action has become
