The talk in Congress on the matter
Of reciprocity with Canada seems to
be time wasted. To begin with, Cam
ada doesn't want it; the eastern
states, barring few Massachusetts
republicans who are free traders at
heart, don't want it; and the rest of
the country doesn't care.

Discretion Always Safest.
Londonderry Slfter,l

In this state within few days there
have been illustrated with disastrous
results two methods of dealing with
a horse at railroad crossings on the
approach Of trains. The occupants or
one carriage whipped the horse TO
cross ahead of the train with the re-
suit that they were struck by the
train and killed. The driver of the
other team held up his horse to allow
the train to pass first. with the re-
suit that the horse became frightened
as the engine whirled by its head, and
started to run with the train. the car
riage becoming tangled with the cars
was hurled over bridge to the rocks
below. killing the horse and the occu-
pants of the carriage. Who will say
which is the better method? Howev-
er all can agree that the best way Is
to stop for the fraction of minute
at a safe distance before reaching the
crossing and listen. 1t will be time
well spent.

The Montpelier Journal notes, as a
weak point in the present liquor law
the fact that. i'm towns voting yes
the full number of licenses allowed
by law in each place may be granted
by the commissioners to first and
second class dealers: leaving the
towns, as in the case of Montpelier
without a druggists license and there
fore without a place where liquor may
be legally obtained even for medicin-
al purposes, on holidays or Sundays.
The Journal says:
A doctor from one of the towns just
outside of Montpelier was i'm the city
on Bennington Battle day to get some
alcohol for patient and had to go
back without it, There should be
some provision whereby liquor for
medicinal purposes can be procured
legally every day in the year. for
sometime il will be needed and need
ed badly when the saloon keepers and
druggists can do nothing TO relieve
the situation.
This contention is not without some
reason. yet the need is not as urgent
as our contemporary depicts it Many
physicians declare that there is no
demand in the practise of medicine
that may not be as safely and eff
ficaciously met without the use of al
cohol as with it. 1t is used by many

Does anyone now want any further
evidence that Mary Rogers is a de-
generate, morally irresponsible. and
should not be hanged?-St. Adams
Messenger.
No evidence has been offered why
Mary Rogers should not be hanged,
since hanging is the legal penalty in
Vermont for murder in the first de-
gree. Degenerate and morally ir-
responsible" are dangerous words
which are being used in dangerous
ways to condone pure cussedness
now-a- days. Mrs. Rogers is bad
woman, without honor or self-respect,
or enough of womanly feeling to
shudder at the death struggles of a

better than the right way. but she
knows them apart perfectly well and
also which path she ought to take.
She admits that. Whom. under the
law, should we hang. then, if not Mary

The State Must Advertise.

While the southern and western

lists from New England what is New

exploit her resources and where can
literature be procured setting forth
the reasons that Vermont is a good
state to emigrate to? The answer OF
course is that the department of agri-
culture takes care of this matter and
has lately issued a handsome broch-
IRE This is true. How many OF
those brochures We're printed? How
many of them are sent outside or this
state? How much real information
of a general nature can be obtained
from that brochure? How much mon
ey has the department at its disposal
for the purpose of exploiting the
states resources?
Vermont needs advertising. Yer
mont must have advertising. YER
mont newspapers have continually
harped upon this matter and columns
of editorial utterance supplemented
with hundreds of columns of news
matter telling of the resources Of the
state have been published All this
has borne fruit. What is now need
ed is a systematic campaign or pub
licity. The state of Vermont may
we'll pattern after her sister state
across the Connecticut river. New
Hampshire is reaping the benefits or
advertising and among those who have
been foremost in har campaign or
publicity are the railroads.&c. be
specific the Boston & Maine railroad.
This railroad has co-operated with the
state authorities and the proprietors
and managers of the various hotels in
the White Mountain section and by
continued and systematic campaign
has succeeded in building up a sum-
mer boarder industry that nets the
state of New Hampshire over half
a million dollars. The railroad. to be
sure. has enriched itself. but the ho-
tel proprietors the merchants and the
farmers of northern New Hampshire
have certainly reason to assert that
advertising pays.
What New Hampshire has done
Vermont can do. If the west and
south can inveigle Vermonters into
migrating into those regions surely
Vermont can reciprocate by showing
the natives of those sections that YER
mont produces lots of other things
beside sensational newspaper stories.
