nent Of New Jersey IS to-day carrying on o
d business that il unconstitutional. Para
graph 2, in Article which read to you,
says: Governments is instituted for the
protection. security and benefit Of the peo-
pie, and they {the people) base the right
at all times to altar or reform the same,
whenever the public good may require ii. Z"
How about the liquor traffic in New jersey
from which the government Of New jersey
is receiving each year stated revenue, and
around which it puts the protecting arm OF
the law by illegally granting license. -Four
judges Of Indiana have declared that it is
unconstitutional to grant license to sell
liquor in that state, yet they have been
doing that unconstitutional thing in Indi-
ana, and are still doing il, except where
there are Judges who belieYe in being con-
and yet they will not let their
wives and mothers vote because 1t is nnc0n-
stitutio,al. New Jersey is in the same boat
with Indiana, barring four judges. Is snch
a business calculated TO protect our people?
Wherein is there any security, physically
or morally? If / was the mother or father
Of the young girl upon whom an outrage Of
unmentionable character was attempted in
my town few weeks ago, would bring
suit against the State Of New jersey, which
with full knowledge of the effects Of alcohol
upon the lower passions Of man, place a
license in the hands Of another to sell this
poison that they know will make men
crazy, and make them dangerous citizens.
The guilty man said himself to the court
that if he had been sober he would not have
done it; and vet that same court that.
sentenced this man to long imprisonment
will continue TO grant licenses for such m
eyitable results. The negro is less oulpable
than the Judge who sentenced him or the
State Of New jersey. In what way are we
benefited? Are our morals ?. Are our pocket
books? Is brotherly love nourished II the
government Of New Jersey can carry on
such devilish unconstitutional business,
why can't her women vote if ii is uncon-
stitutional
Is it not time for the people Of New Jer-
sey to use the right given by their consti-
SUTTON, which says we have the right to
alter and reform the government whenever
the public good may require it? Does not
the public good Of New Jersey require that
something b. done? Are not thousands Of
our men and women filing drunkards'
graves every yea? Our state is in the lead
in this accursed business; at least no other
state outdoes her, and I belisfe she could
be arraigned this day by her own constitu-
tion.
What shall we do first We do not need
to ask for an amendment in regard to the
liquor question, for it is already just where
we want it, It is just as unconstitutional
for our state to grant licenses to sell intoxi-
cants as it would be to permit her women
to vote.
/ believe our State is beginning to feel
the pulse of the temperance forces though
out our Union, and she will not want to
be long behind. We need not all be Joan
Of Arcs, but some Of us may have to be, be-
fore New Jersey shall be redeemed.

The Oldest House in Town.

Through the efforts of Rev. Homer
White, tnere has just been hung in the
reading room of the Kimball Public IL
brary picture Of the Oldest house in
town. IL is the old Paine pace at the
South village, built in 1790 by Samuel Ben
ed let, one of the early settlers, ana USED
several years as tavern.
A year after Mr.. Benedict reared the
walls that are standing firmly at the pres
ent day, the New Hampshire Grants OF
stormy history were admitted to the
Union as the state OF Vermont, through
which came travelling a little later Ed.
ward, Duke of Kent, fourth son OF George
iii OF England and father OF Queen VIC
toria.
His royal highness was then young
fellow of "a, who had been in command OF
a regiment in Canada and was on his way
to Boston to sail from that port for home.
His route led him to Montpelier, where he
scent the night in the primitive hamlet
that had only been in existebce three or
four wears. and the next day was guest
at The tavern OF Samuel Paine, who came
from Cornish, N. H., in 1903 and bought
the house OF Mr.. Benedict lie was son
of Capt. Samuel Paine, who fought in the
Revolution and the French and Indian
war.
The duke rested at the tavern over
night before continuing his journey with
body Of armed men who guarded ms
sacred person from the dangers OF which
this scion of royalty was fearful. He had,
il appears, conceived a notion that YER
mopters were hardly better than savages,
with no idea OF the tender treatment due
to the sons OF kings, and some OF his
savings and doing, as he travelled through
the settlements amused the semi
barbarous inhabitants for many years TO
come.
In 1850, Samuel Psine divided his tract
Of land into five farms and parceled them
ont to his five sons. The original farm Of
400 acres he afterwards increased and, be-
coming owner OF one-fourth the stock in
the old turnpike road, on which his tavern
stood. he was for long time the gate
keeper. On one of the farms grandson
of the captain, A. p. Paine, still lives, but
the old tavern has passed into the posses

Cruelty to Dumb Animals.


Hardly a week passes that attention is
not called In some way to instances OF
gross cruelty to animals-livestock In
shipment or transit, horses, dogs, cats and
birds in the village or the cattle, sheep and
hogs on the farms. Everyone is agreed
that something should be done to
correct such barbarous tendencies but no
one is willing TO incur personally the I'M
pleasant relations with friends and neigh
bors that would inevitably follow CON-
plant to the proper authorities.
II seems almost incredible that farmer
can be so blind to his own interests as to
try to fat hogs on wind pudding or so
foolish as to impair the use and value OF
his livestock by neglect or insufficient
food. Plain seltishness, IL no higher in
stinct has its abode In him, should direct
course more in conformity with hum sne
treatment.
In the matter Of handling livestock,
moral persuasion cannot always be relied
upon to control the brute creation. A whip
is occasionally needed to make the moral OF
the persuasion strike in, but the one who
Yields il should take care that the creature
at the whip-end is not greater brute than
the one under the lash. A saint driving
a pig to market, II he ever got the pig there,
might disclose to the casual observer that
he was not entirely engaged in pious med
| itation during the stroll.
II il is certain there is an intolerable
amount Of cruelty in this community,
then those, knowing to it and able to
prove their assertions, should form
branch OF the society with the long name
and, backed by law and authority, put a
stop to 1t. A good application OF the
scourge OF the law would do the bFutes in
human form more good than columns oil

Vietor's Royal venetisn band was
greeted by a crowded house Monday even

combining walls OF the hall. Slgnor CAL

and conducted his band as though II were

was playing with little stick. There was
a noticeable absence OF solos except for
few incidental ones by gentlemen with
the ripping cognomens OF Sigs. Pom
treili Angurio- perillo- D'ltsl a. D'amore.
The overture from William Tell and the
sextette from Lucia di Lammermoor were
very satisfying selections and would have
been even more so from reserved seat In
the covered bridge. when II came To the
national airs, II was amusing TO see the
way in which the audience, one after
another, gradually rose, glancing around
furtively as though almost ashamed to be
caught In such ritual concession 10 patriot-
