NAUGHTY vERM ONT.

Certain states seem to be determined that the patent medicine concerns shall not make cent. Vermont, for instance as soon as she found out that one of the widely advertised catarrh cures @ con- tained nothing but common baking soda went and told the public all about it and of course this will tend to injure the business of the nostrum maker. And she also blabbed it when she found borax being sold as extract of Mexican beans. Not content with pulling dowE these two temples of industry" figura- lively speaking. Vermont gave it away when she found 60 per cent of alcohol in a cure-all labeled to contain 9 per cent. And even this havoc don't satiate that selfish state and she proceeds to sink another dirk into the business of the poor defenseless, honest and upright medicine CD folks as follows:
 "These instances simply emphasize the advisability of efficient supervision and show how completely the public have been at the mercy of unscruplous deal CTS and manufacturers and how little the people actually know about the ar ticles they buy and absorb.'
 Now isn't that the limit? Vermont should be ashamed of herself. But she don't seem to be.

NOTHING SAID UNLESS

The editor of the country paper gives of town and village improvement, he as sists, in his way, in changing various conditions so that they may work to the betterment of all concerned, so that the village may grow and prosper, he works diligently to bring about condition that will result in the greatest good for the greatest number. AS rule he may ham, mer away week after week along these lines without hearing one word of ap- preciation of his efforts. not one.
 But let him print two-line item of absolute truth that rubs someone's fur the wrong way. That he hears from and sometimes in language more forcible than beautiful. We dare say this is the experience of every country editor in the state of Connecticut if not ill the Union. It goes to show that the tendency to con- demn, criticize and find fault has de- veloped much more rapidly than the inclination to show appreciation.
 And and as we have said, this Is condition that exists everywhere.
 But once in while subscriber stops the editor on the street or comes into the sanctum and tells him that the "piece he printed last week" on such and such a topic was frst-class, that it just "whacked the nail on the head"
 These things encourage the man be- hind the pen, they inspire him to further effort to help his town and townspeople, they are bright spots in his journalistic career.
 Now to localize. Last weeks NEWS contained an editorial referring to hood lumism and vandalism in Canaan on the part of boys whose ages range from to 16 years. Every word we printed was the exact truth. It recited a deplorable lack of good behavior on the part of these urchins.
 Several villagers whose grape arbors, flower beds, orchards or other possess ions have suffered at the hands of these boys expressed their appreciation be- cause this newspaper gave publicity to the depredations and they believe that many parents will thus get their first inkling of the fact that their children are not behaving as they should on the streets.
 We cite this instance to illustrate the statement made above i.e., that it is only occasi onally people express any appreciation of discussions pertaining to the public veal, which they see in the newspapers. The experience of other papers has been the experience of THE NEws-the expression relative to the boys was the only made in several weeks.
 No self-respecting newspaper expects constant eulogy or fiattery but an occas- ional expression of appreciation of earnest and conscientious effort is accept able and much appreciated.
