The Humphrey agency, Boston, sends
Printers Ink copy of an advertise
ment for Jackson Motor Cars which
appears entirely unobjectionable. When
this ad. was submitted to the Register,
of Middlebury, VT, its publisher re-

or liquor advertising at any price

Consistent, anyhow, and honest in his
expressed convictions is "Old joey"
He has our admiration and respect as
one man among thousand who is
ready to supplement financially the
moral support he gives an issue or
cause. When man will sacrifice his
pocketbook to the cause he advocates,
he means business and his support
counts.

II is because he owns an expensive au'

issue in state politics this year but the
auto; and that it has magnifed to a

be found to already possess one, our

The victory of the fusion ticket
would seat republican governor in the
chair, make a republican secretary of
state, and place the disbursement of
the state s money under the control Of
republican auditor of accounts. The
external cast and the real internal pow
er of the administration would be re-
publican.-St. Adams Messenger.
Dire threats of everlasting exile from
the republican ranks have been made
to these independent protestants against
machine rule. Here is pleasing assur-
ance that, if victorious, they will still
be republicans. Defeat only, it appears,
will affect their political standing, and
the fusionists will naturally take great
care to avoid that.

The Inauguration of a system of
outdoor life for the inmates of the
state hospital at Waterbury is an ex-
cellent idea and one which human SYM
patty for the afflicted will endorse as
both pleasing and remedial: But if it
is not attended by careful and ade-
quate oversight, it will prove to be one
of those 4hdnesses to the few that
endanger the many. Let the patients
out into the fresh air, by all means,
but guard them watchfully.

Theodore Roosevelt, the only man to-
day who can defeat him in the next
presidential election, spoke to his Oys-

continues his trust-curbing activities to

The Present Boss and His Son.

providence, r. l., Journal.
The present boss of Vermont is Senator
Redfield Proctor 1t is his son who has been
named for governor by the republicans. Mr..
Clement and his friends say, not unnat.
urally, that there is no reason why the state
should be an appanage of the Proctor family.
Fletcher Proctor is man of good charac
ter, who has managed successfully the mar
BILE business, from which the senator has
nominally retired, but were he not the son
of his father no one would think of him for
governor, and there is no evidence that he
has any exceptional ability to justify his
candidacy 1t is simply case of keeping
the prizes in the family. The senator him
self has played his part at Washington well
enough. He is man of real ability and he
has been identified with some useful legis-
lation. But no one credits him with any
superiority of conscience. He is shrewd
and sly person. who knows perfectly well
on which side his bread is buttered and
who never INDUCES in those expensive SEN
timents characteristic of more scrupulous
men,

No. The same singular similarity may
be noted in the republican platform and

believes that they prove anything as
