Very Petty Politics.
[Morrisville Messenger. ]

lNhoiAiSNlie MeSSenBer.l
The fact that the Hon. F. d. Proctor
was counted as being in favor of the
retention Of the prohibitory law in 1902
and now declares himself as believing in
further trial OF the local option law, is
taken by the Rutland Herald to mean all
sorts Of weakness in Mr.. Proctor as a
candidate for governor. and, also, in the
Republican party platform declarations.
II Mr.. Proctor has changed his mind in
four years time. and II the Republican
party is looking at methods OF LIQUOR
control differently from what was a
former attitude, both are in a position
to be congratulated rather than to be
criticised. In reality, the present LIQUOR
law is the work OF Republican legislators
and 1t is well known fact that hundreds
OF good men who like Mr. Proctor
questioned the wisdom OF license legisla-
tion in 1902 are satisfied that on the
whole a better prohibition exists today
than the old law accomplished. That Mr..
Proctor accepts the license law for what
now appears to be its value, is credtable
to his good judgment, breadth of vision
and sense Of fairness, rather than charge
able 70 vacillating course on his part.
The Herald's complaint is an example Of
very petty politics, indeed.

A soma Of Faith.

My God, the spring of all my joys,
The life of my delights,
The glory of my brightest days,
And comfort of my nightsl
In darkest shades. II thou appear,
My dawning is begun;
Thou art my souls bright morning-star
And thou my rising sun.
The opening heavens around me shine
With beams of sacred bliss,
If Jesus shows his mercy mine
And whispers am his.
My soul would leave this heavy clay
At that transporting word,
Run up with JOY the shining way,
To see and praise my Lord
Fearless OF hell and CHASTITY death,
I'd break through every foe;
The wings of love and arms of faith
Would bear me conqueror through.
