hoTAsLEs GATHER IN VERMONT
Four Candidates Anxious to Head
Ticket in the Granite State.

Concord, N. H., SEM. 1s.--The Re-
publican state convention which is
assembled here today is one of the
most notable gatherings OF its kind
which the Granite state han ever seen
marking the close OF a campaign that
has attracted attention far beyond
state lines. Four candidates are ac-
lively engaged in trying to win the
place at the head OF the ticket They
are Charles II. GrAenieat Charles M.
Floyd. Rosecrans w. Pillsbury and
winston Churchill.
The great issue this year Is the
question of corporation dominate ION

Mr.. Pfilshury. upon announcing
his candidacy, declares that the con-
duct of state affairs Tor the past few
years has been bad. and attributes
this to the influence of the Republic

that state expenses have been in
ereasing too rapidly. and that there
are too many side commissions carry

COULD NOT REST
 NIGHT OR DAY
With Irritating Skin Humor Whole Body Affected Scalp ltched All the Time and Hair Began to Fall Out--Wonderful Result From
APPLICATION OF
 CUTlCURA REMEDIES

ssI am never without Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment since l tried them last summer. About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. l did not take much notice of 1t at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then l began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors; but I became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Espe. cially at night, just as soon as I would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and 1t was not long before could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and did, and the first appli. cation helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body; and I kept getting better, and by the time used four boxes of Cuticura I was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out, but I continue to use the Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan. druff out and scalp is always clean. l always use Cuticura Ointment on my face after shaving, and have found nothing to equal it. will never be without it" D. E. Blanlenship,

CRUEL TO THE CHILDREN.

The New York Sun takes decided ground against proposition to require the children in the public schools to make contributions to the San Francisco relief fund, and gives some of its req sons as follows:
 The sons and daughters of we'll to do parents would give more than the pu- pills of poorer circumstances, and no becoming known. Childhood is some times thoughtless and cruel. No good that the few dollars to be wrung from parents through their offspring might do to California could compensate for the aftermath of suffering and heart- burning that a subscription taken from the public schools must inevitably bring. An appeal for help for the public schools should bear the subtitle land to infiict unnecessary suffering on certain children"
 The Omaha World Herald fully en- dorses The Suns position and gives this incident as its reason:
 In a certain school in this city, where the facts have come to the knowledge of The World Herald, the principal thoushtlessly and. we say it frankly, cruelty separated the sheep from the goats. Children who had not been en- abled. by their parents, to give to the relief fund, were required to stand up and exhibit themselves to their fellows. one little fellow was publicly repri- manded for his "selhshness," and was outtingly asked what kind of a man he thought he would grow up to be. The child of one family that had given literally already, and had nothing left to give through the schools. came home in tears, shamed and humiliated by what had occurred at school.
 Our contemporaries are correct in their opposition, and the case related by The World Herald sustains that or- position. Giving to the suffering is a commendable virtue, but there are plenty of opportunities, and will con tinue to be plenty. for all to give who feel disposed without humiliating the 1 little children as would certainly be done if school were called on to con tribute. Most of us know how young | children are. In the best of them can be found a trace of original savage ness and there are many who would laugh at the humiliation and distress of a comrade. A call of this kind from the teacher Of any primary school in | the country would be followed by something of the same results men tioned by The World Herald. Charity does not consist in wounding the feel. ings of the little ones.

NEW YORK PoLTrICs.

It looks very much as if New York is in a fair way to rid itself of odeli as a political influence. The Republi- cans have apparently determined to put him down and out, but whether their leader will be better man re- mains to be seen. By tae way, has not the President been backing Odell? And Mir. Hearst boldly proclaims that he has money enough to buy out every branch of the New York State Govern- ment. and broadly intimates that all the officials are for sale If that Is true. he will probably buy the entire outfit and run things to suit himself. New York has gone through some very dirty and disreputable political experi- ences. but it is to be hoped that 1t will not become a Hearst chattel.
 The New York Mall, staunch Re- publican organ, speaking of conditions and prospects In that State. remarks that Republicans are in position to demand the confidence of the State. not only for what they have done for the general good. but for what they hdNG aohc NAot theii .oWh houo1itoiu- They nave defeated and disarmed the man who assumed the powers of a dic- tator. They have unmasked the po- litico-commercia influences with which he was in alliance. In a legislative session singularly free from scandal they have accomplished peaceful bus mess revolution in the passage of the Hughes bills. They have excited or forestalled one popular demand after another. This has been peoples year rather than a corporation year at Albany"
 This is an optimistic view to take of the political affairs of the greatest State in the Union, and it may all be Justified, but we doubt it. Republi- canism New York has almost reached the conditions that have for so many years prevailed in Pennsylvania. and we doubt if there Is any certainty of amendment while they remain in pow CT. To exchange one corrupt boss for another is not going to help matters very much. In fact it might be better in some respects for the old gang to hold on, for a rev one of the same sort would have to load up on the spells so as not to be behind their predeces- sors.
 These quarrels among Republican bosses end leaders in New York ought to make the way plain for a safe and sound Democracy to assume control of affairs, if there is really such De- mocracy in the State. New York is a Democratic State, taken as a whole. and the Democrats controlled it when they had competent leaders and adhered to Democratic principles. To think of turning the party over to Hearst, or of allowing him to get control of it would look like the last resort of a party which has given up its principles and its hopes. Democracy can't win with him. for he does not stand for the prin- ciples of the party.

TUESDAY, MAY |, 1906.

When The Advertiser has steno- graphic reports taken of Corners speeches and prints them. or when 1t prints specials from it's correspondents from various points over the State, 1t Is charged with "hounding" the gentle man who in one breath proclaims that iaborers in this State are not paid enough. and in the next refuses to con- dennn the child labor system in cotton factories. Now when there has been a joint discussion and more space is wiven in our reports to Dr. Cunning hams speech than to MT. Corners we are guilty of all sorts of unfair ness. There Is not a point made by MT. Conner in this campaign that has not been printed over ard over in The Advertiser columns. IH fact we have published more of his speeches in one Issue of The Advertiser than has ap- peared in any of the papers that are supporting him.

 Judge John V. Wright one of the best and truest of men. in an interview in The Birmingham Age-Herald. re- ferring to members of the Confederate Congress. says:
 Former Senator James L. Pugh, Judge John Goode and myself are three in Washington, and I am sure there are others in other parts of the country, But you see we are all old men now, as 1t has been forty-five years since the war began. and there have been many changes since then.
 Judge Wright represented Tennes- see District in Congress several years prior to 1861 and is now one of the ablest and most useful men of the Law Department of the Department of the Interior at Washington. He can do as much good work and render as able decisions as any of the younger men in the branch os the Government work, although he is nearly 80 years old.
