aspired to the governorship of Vermont,
and there is little doubt that in his desire
he would have been strongly and Loyalty

Vote No.

CALIFORNIAN county in general, and ST.
Johnsbury in particular, have prospered
so well under no-license the past II
months that we believe it would be
step backwards if any town in this county
should go license at the March meeting
next Tuesday. We would not for
moment claim that there is no drunken
ness in St. Johpsbury, but we do contend
that the morals of the town are better
conserved under no license than if we had
the open saloon on our streets. With the
temptation removed, the young man or
the old man is stronger for resisting and
his manhood is developed every time he
refuses drink. Under our new law YER
mont made a notable decrease in the
number OF license cities and towns at the
1904 March meeting; we want to see a
new record made next Tuesday. And
above all that may happen elsewhere in
Vermont we want St. Johnsbury to keep
I'D her record OF clean town where there
is no open saloon.
President Roosevelt has we'll said, "The
saloon business is not like other business.
1t is certainly not business which stands
we'll in comparison with other occupa'
tions. The liquor traffic tends to pro-
duce criminality and law breaking u y n.
to debauch not only the body social, but
the body polite also"
Vote No next Tuesday.

allow to Build up the Saloon
Business"

At a meeting of the state liquor dealers
of Ohio at Wirthwein's Hall, Columbus,
o., one of the delegates in the course OF a
speech on How to Build Up the Saloon
Business" gave the following sug-
gestions:
The success of our business is depend
ent largely upon the creation of appetite
for drink. Men who drink liquor. like
others, will die, and it there is new appe-
tite created our counters will be empty
as we'll as our Golfers.
The open field for the creation Of
appetite is among the boys. After men
have grown and their habits are formed
they rarely ever change in this regard.
1t will be needful, therefore, that
missionary work be done among the
boys, and make the suggestion, gentle
men, that nickles expended in treats tc
the boys now will return in dollars to
your tils after the appetite has beer
formed. Abovea things create appetite

The PfeHident and His AUGMENTATION.
The charm about our President is that
he is so different from the ordinary poll
tician. He let's it be known what he
wants and is open and energetic in his
efforts to secure the object aimed at.
That he has the public welfare at heart
no one doubts. That we are doing well
under his administration is selfevident
proposition. America will be the better
at the end of the twentieth century on
account OF the straightforward methods
in politics and diplomacy exhibited 10 its
early years by President Theodore
Roosevelt and John Hay, his secretary OF

governorship, and should he finally de-
eide to contest for the office, one or two
aspirants on the west side would either
have to retire from the field or decide to
make the fight of their lives to down the
doctor. There are politicians and politi-
clans in Chittenden, Rutland and Ben
nington counties who are very likely to
disagree in their choice of candidates in
the next campaign for the governorship,
and it is possible, barely possible, that
with the horns of these leaders securely
locked, the people in those sections OF the
state will have some chance, at least, OF
expressing their choice without arbitrary
dictation from the bosses.

Cures Catarrhal Deafness.

Cures Catarrhal DEAFNESS.
One Weeks Use of HyOmei Did More
Than Six Months Treatment by
Specialists.
In the treatment OF deafness which is
often a result of catarrh Hyomei acts
almost Immediately upon the inhamed
membrane and the hearing begins to
return at once. A few days treatment
will bring relief, and in three or four
weeks, according to the severity of the
case, cure will be accomplished.
Miss Meeks of Mattewan, N. Y says:
"Hyomei is truly wonderful. have used
it but a short time and see a great
change in my condition. My hearing is
improving rapidly, and l had no idea l
wonld improve so rapidly in so short a
time. My breath which was so offensive
to myself and Others, has lost its bad
odor entirely. have spent great deal
of money with catarrh specialists and
can truly say that six months of their
treatment is not equal to one month O.
Hyomei."
W. B. Eastman is selling Hyomei upon
the unusual plan of agreeing to return
the money If the medicine does not cure.
A complete outfit costs only $1.O0 and
consists of an inhaler that can be carried
in the vest pocket. medicine dropper
and bottle OF Hyomei. The inhaler
will last lifetime and there is enough
Hyomei for several weeks treatment.
Additional bottles of Hyomei can be pro-
cured for so cents. Compare this small
expense with the fees charged by special
lists and then remember that if Hyomei
does not cure W. B. Eastman will return
! your money.

A Frank Talk on Pardons.

1t is seldom one sees so frank discus
sion of the habit of petitioning the Gov
ernor for the pardon of one who is serv-
ing his sentence as that given below by
Editor Sawyer of the Hardwck Gazette.
1t is all the more forcible because Mr.
Sawyer, like many other Hard wick
people, signed the petition IN haste and
are now repentingin leisure. Incidentally
the editorial pays deserved compliment
to our newly.elected states attorney who
got after lawbreakers with a sharp stick
at the last term OF court and did his duty
as prosecuting officer without fear or
favor. Gov. Bell will do well to pigeon
hole the petition, and we have no doubt
that this is what be will do with it. Ed.
itor Sawyers comments follow:
States Attorney Thompson is said to
be highly indignant at the action OF
Hardwick citizens in signing a petition
asking Governor Bell to pardon Constan-
tino, the Hardwick liquor seller sentenced
to serve six months in the workhouse at
last term OF Caledonia county court.
And when one stops to think about the
matter a moment one can readily see
that Mr.. Thomps on has cause to be in
dignant. He was elected to office to
wage war on criminals. Hardwlck is
notorious for having superabundance
Of illegal liquor sellers. Mr.. Thompson
got alter them, and secured convictions
against several. Hardwick is also on
record as mo" town. This pre-sup
poses sentiment against liquor selling
legally or illegally. But-a convicted
liquor dispenser is sent to Rutland, anc
his family comes on to the town to tht
tune of about SIS per month. Straight
way cleverly worded petition is gotter
out, asking pardon. 1t is signed by {
few directly interested and then circula
ted freely. Men who ought to know
better-and who do-put down thei
names without thinking twice. There /
no lodging the fact that this petition i
a direct insult to the states attorney
and exactly what he had no right t.
expect. He has perfect right to expec
all law abiding and law respecting cit
zens to aid him with their moral supper

The Gazette doesn't believe the petitio
will carry any weight with Governo
Bell, and hope it won't. Nobody nee
feel hurt at this plain English, for til

there for the Ashland team had never
been defeated on their home floor, but
after the first period it was easy to
see that the game would be walkover
Beck and Smythe, for Co. D, seemed to
be able to connect with the basket nearly
every time the ball came into their hands,
for they made nine baskets apiece. The
floor at Ashland is quite small as COM

considerable rapid team work and
