Anti-SalOOn Sunday.

Last Sunday was quite extensively OBJ
served as Anti-Saloon League day in the
local churches, and the Anti-Saloon
League made vigorous attempt to keep
st. Johnsbury and Caledonia county on
the right side of the liquor traffic ques-
ton. The pulpits of seven churches were
occupied in the morning by the League
speakers, who earnestly advocated re-
striction of the liquor traffic. In other
churches the temperance cause was ur-
gently advocated. Rev. c. J. Ferguson
of Burlington spoke in the Methodist
church, Rev. F. A. Poole of Barre in the
North church, Rev. c. w. Prentiss Of
Newbury in the South church, Rev. w.

Winfield S. Hastings. The two families
Joined forces in the endeavor to make the
occasion notable one for the two popu-
lar young men. The only thing to inter

Bond, Gilbert Hastings and Raymond
| Shepard At the conclusion of the enter

Brakeman Wins His Suit.

The circuit court of appeals at New
York have notified the attorneys of John
N. Gokey of Newport that the Judgment
of $4,000 obtained against the Boston
& Maine in the federal court in July,
1905, has been affirmed by the higher
court. 1t will be recalled that Gokey
was struck by switch in the Lyndon
vile freight yard while clinging to car
on moving train. The case was taken
to the higher court by his attorneys, E.
A. Cook of Newport and Herbert w.
Hovey of St. Johnsbury, and argued by
Mr.. Hovey in the court at New York. 1t
is rarely that case from this section
reaches such high court and it is need
less to add that the verdict is gratifying
to both the plaintiff and his attorneys.

BASKET BALL.
Co. D So, Washington Guards %.

The strongest quintet of players that
ever represented St. Johnsbury in basket
ball was seen at the Armory last Friday
evening when they triumphed over the
strong Washington Guard team from
Fitchburg, by score of53 to 26.
In spite of Fitchburg's poor showing
here they have good team, and their
overwhelming defeat was due to the fact
that they were pretty badly battered
up bunch of players and were not in first
class condition. However, it was plain
to see that Co. D had their winning
clothes on and were bound to finish
ahead.
The home team started scoring early
in the game, taking the lead and never
during the three sessions were they
headed, altho at times they led by a
single point For two periods the
game was close and intensely interesting,
In the last period Co. D outclassed their
opponents, sweeping them off their feet
and throwing basket after basket amid
uedltIllIS upIOdI Vi app wal ~ eiiis
period Co. D ran up "a points. IA OF
which were credited to Miller.
The game was fast, clean and full OF
phenomenal plays. Conlon of Fitchburg,
made himself conspicuous at times by
throwing baskets, while Murphy and
Mailman did good floor work. 1t is
hard to say who did the best work for
Co. D. Every man played his position
in gilt-edged style, and the team work
was feature. Miller made the largest
number of baskets.

A Saloon Trust.

There is said to be saloon trust
In Evans, and this is how it is said
it came about:
A long time and trusted employee
of one of the amusement places there
bought a piece of corner property
with building on. The place was
ideal for fifth saloon for the town,
and so thought Jack O'Grady, king
of the place, and he guessed that
his former employee would soon ask
for license. He guessed rightly,
too, for 1t was not long after this
that the young man went to the
mayor of the town and asked for a
license, only to be told that an ordi-
nance had been passed the week. be.

in the town to four. No record was
ever kept of his exact words upon
that occasion.

TO THE WOMEN.

You have been accused OF being a
failure in Colorado politics. There
is good reason for the charge. You
take no interest in your new duties,
now that they have been accorded to
YOU. Now that you are changed
from mans superior to mans equal,
at your own request, you have no
more right to shirk your political
than your maternal duties. You
are equally guilty with the male
voter for the present disgraceful state
Of Colorado politics. AS whole
you take nc interest in politics.
You don't vote to any extent. You
skip the political articles In the
newspapers. You dodge political
meetings, and other ways OF inform
ing yourselves. If you do vote, you
are pretty apt to vote one way or the
other because hubby or brother or
father does. You are almost as
strong numerically in Colorado as
the male voter. You hold more
than the balance of power, and your
vote coupled with the intelligent
and honest male vote would wipe
corruption off the political map of
Colorado at one blow. There is
work for you to do in Colorado and
in Weld county this fall. Will you
do It?
The Tribune is going to print a
series of political articles that are
for you as we'll as for the men folks.
1t wants you to read them, because
they are true. and because only
through your help can the abuses be
remedied. They will be not only
truthful but as impartial as the
writer can make them. 1t matters
not what party you favor. The fault
lies with the system, and all parties
become corrupt when allowed the
power. There is way to curb their
power for evil, and that is through
the independent voter who uses in
telligence in his choice of candidates.
The first of this series of articles
appears on this page today. Others
will follow each week until election.

Little Lessons in Politics
BY Independent Voter.

time Dragging on himself, and MS
fitness for the job he wants, so ne
brings party hatred to his aid. Most
voters are democrats or republicans,
without knowing why.
My old mother, bless her heart,
used to tell me, Il tell you, my boy,
these republicans are awful mean
people, So it goes today. Let a
campaign get under way and half the
talk and nearly all the argument
heard is, vote the straight demo-
cratic ticket; put the rascals out -
"vote it straight; vote the whole
republican ticket. Vote for the
party of progress :" Glass is arrayed
against class, party against party
and friendships are frequently
broken in the heat of campaign
that are never fully mended. Every
argument used, every statement made
through the papers is either a
democratic lie" or a republican
falsehood," and the editor is
bought. why would he print
such lies If he wasn't bought?" l
sometimes wonder If the. partisan
claims of partisan newspaper ever
make one single vote during cam
paign; If the hundreds of papers sent
free to voters by both party central
committees are not so much wasted
material? No matter how true the
charges of corruption or incompet-
ency therin made. it is invariably
branded as a campaign lie. by the op-
position, and the editor who pub
lished it was paid for 1t. Thus par
tisanship and party feeling is worked
up, and when election day comes
round the voter goes to the polls
many. many times, with a heart
full of venom, and votes 1t
straight" and feels that he has
struck body blow for his party"
and against the rascals Of the opposi-
tion.
ITO be continued.
