FOUGHT AN HONEST BALLOT.

In 1890 Gov. Carroll S. Page made the following
recommendation in his annual message 10 the General
Assembly of the State of Vermont
"Ihe privilege of every voter to cast his ballot
without fear and subject to improper influence
espionage is of the sacred rights of American
citizenship That the Australian system protects this
right of the voter fully than any other yet sug
gested is conceded Wherever it has been tried has
become popular. The only important objection to its
adoption that have heard expressed is that of expense
vermont cannot afford to be tardy in the adop-
ton of any system having for its end purer ballot
and believing that better method has yet been de-
vsed to accomplish this earnestly urge its adoption"
With what have learned about the need and
practical benefit of this ballot would be apt to say
that no intelligent Vermonter in public life would dare
to oppose such a recommendation.
\ ct we find that when this bill up for final
passage Nov 25 $780, Fletcher d. Proctor was one of
its strenuous opponents and the practical leader of
eighty-seyen others who attempted to defeat it.
Thus early began the training in ring methods of
young man at that time just entering public life.
Why did he oppose this bill? Did he and his
friends fear the result of open ballot? Were they
afraid it would loosen their hold upon the public mind?
Was because they foresaw that they could no longer
control the political acts of the tmid voter?
History does not relate. 1t does not say why Mr..
Proctor Of Proctor fought the Australian election law
1t does not tell why he and his eightyseven friends
attempted to throttle decent Legislation for an honest
ballot,
And yet we know that the present machine candi-
date for Governor has been steadily drilled in school
whose strength consists in clever and systematic cir
convention of the public will
He is now candidate for Governor He asks the
rank and file Of Vermont voters to give him their con-
fdence. Are men savshly attached to machine pol
cies safe recipients of the public trust? Are they fit
to be pcrpetuated in public office? Do to trust
our important offices OF reform, retrenchment and re-
organization to their tender mercies?
Think it It's up to you.

How to Be Friendly With wasps.

no" 10 BE FFendly WIKI Wdsps'
a correspondent Of the Leeds
(England) Mercury bears testimony
to the inoifensiye behavior of wasps
if not molested. He writes: My IA
vorite garden seat in summer is near
an extensive bed of flowers and ever
greens. The wasps come to this bed
while I am reading, roam over my
book or newspaper. My hands and
face are at their own pleasure. Ii l
have been eating or drinking any
thing sweet they make free with my
lips and suck them. They come and
90 peaceably, and l encourage their
companionship by keeping perfectly
still. l was never stung by a wasp
but once in my life, and then l de-
served the punishment, which l pro-
voked. A heightened experience
conyinces me that if you remain
passive and do not wantonly modest
them you may live on the most
friendly and sociable terms even
with wasps."

to attach the ticket wagon and levy

and unadulterated gall to run a show.

When creditors In q town get too
mad and threaten to attach things,
we invite them to go along with US for
a few days. and get their money when
we strike a paying stand, and we
agree to furnish them a Pullman car
and all they can eat. That Is rather
tempting to country people. SO we had
a full car load Of creditors with US
for a week, and we gave them plenty
to drink, so they had the time Of their
lives, but they didn't get their money.
After going with US all through
Georgia, they held an Indignation
meeting in the car. and between high
balls and cheese sandwiches they got
sleepy, and We side tracked their car

when we got to Memphis the next day.
when he noticed the car had been side
tracked, and he knew that was the
way we were going to dispose OF the
creditors. He thought some one would
tell him when to get of. but he was
sitting up with a ~landlady from some
plxce IN Georgia that we owed a lot OF
money Tor feeding the freaks, and she
was threatening that II she didn't get
her money she would have the hearts

to leave for fear she would stab him.
