Benevolent Distributors.

Those who look with apprehension on
"swollen fortunes" have their fears set at
rest by Chancellor Day. The malefac-
tors may pile up their millions, but their
"fool sons" are seeing to it that the ill.
gotten fortunes are speedily returned to
the people. The sons are benevolent
distributors through whose expenditures
on autos, yachts and great establish
ments" the public will "get it all back
by and by"
Tried by this test it becomes a moot
question whether the highest pitch of
prosperity was not attained by the peo-
pie of France on the eve of the RevOlu-
ton or by the Romans in the days of
banquets of nightingale tongues and
pearls dissolved in wine.
According to the Syracuse school of
economies the King Louises and the
Neros had the right idea. Spendthtifts
are the real heroes of philanthropy, and
they are the true beneIactors who open
two bottles of wine where one was
opened before They stimulate the
heathful circulation of idle money and
keep the wolf from the tenement house
door by getting rid of the surplus in the
avenue mansion. What is deed to q
library building by comparison with the
receipted bill for $1,000 dinner? The
Carnegies should take a back seat anC
let the Coal Oil Johnnies of all ranks
have a niche in the temple of fame.
Why attempt the Federal regulation
of fortunes when the conditions com
planned of will readiust themselves auto
matically within generation? The only
danger to avoid is that of race suicide
among the rich. World.

The AIdrich Bill.

A large number of municipal officials
are doing what they can to induce the
congressman of their districts to vote for
the Aldrich financial bill when it comes
before the House, because they believe it
will be of general benefit to the country
and of special benefit to each municipali-
ty which has staple bonds outstanding or
contemplates IA bond issue.
Since the railroad bond feature of the
bill has been eliminated. its effect will be,
when passed, to still further increase the
value of municipal bonds. AS in case of
financial panic the government will ac-
cept bonds of any municipality which
has not defaulted upon the payment of
its bond interest for period of ten years,
in exchange for currency to the amount
of ninety per cent of the value of the
bonds they are practically endorsed by
the government Hence they are of
greater market value than they have
ever been before
1t is natural that wide-awake Cfficials
of municipalities, especially such as con-
template bond issues in the near future.
should be in favor of the bill being passed
as speedily as is consistent with its I'M
portance. 1t would make bonds, when
issued, bring higher prices and find
reader market than under the prevail
ing conditions.
1t is generally admitted that the Aid
rich bill is the only one which has any
chance of passing at this session of Con-
gres7. President Roosevelt urges Con-
gress to adopt some financial measure of
its kind, and leading business men all
over the country speak about the neces-
sity of some financial legislation by
which business confidence will be re-
stored and panic like that of last fall
rendered impossible. The Aldrch bill
has now been thoroughly threshed out
Many amendments have been adopted.
1t has received the consideration of emf
.ent men in all branches of business
throughout the country and it has now
been moulded into such shape that there
is general demand from municipal offici-
ais, and from business men CT all classes
that the Congressman of their districts
shall vote for the speedy passage of the
bill and aid thereby in providing the
financial relief which is so badly needed

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Various Matters from Various
Stand po nts.

The friends of Governor Page feel
pretty sore that, after the handsome en-
dorsement he received from the press of
the State, he was not appointed senator
to succeed Redfield Proctor. Perhaps
some of his friends were over Jealous, as
they were in the memorable Page Foster
Powers contest and took too many things
for granted. They surely made a great
mistake in opposing a special session of
the legislature on the ground that it
would elect Governor Proctor. Those
who know him best, know that he would
not have allowed his name to have been
presented. He never has and never will
use his high office to further any person

CONSUM PTlON
Its Cause and Suggested Means
of Recovery.


Consumption is not always an inherit
ed disease. and large percentage of
cases may be attributed to the following
causes:
First, defective digestion. Second.
imperfect nutrition as result of the
first. Third the accumulation of NOR
bid products in the lungs as the result
of imperfect nutrition. and this in turn
breaks down the function of respiration
and consumption isl an established dis
ease
The first step toward cure is to re-
store the function of nutrition, and to
this end nothing iii the world except vi
mol.
1t is for this reason we want every
person in Middlebury to know about our
delicious cod liver preparation, Vinol,
which is far superior to old-fashioned
cod liver oil and emusons because it is
made by "A scientific, eXtractive and con-
centrating process from fresh Gods livers,
combining with peptOnate of iron all the
medicinal, healing, body building ele-
ments of cod liver oil, but no oil.
In pulmonary diseases, it nourishes
the body, increases vigor, checks the
cough and often mitigates the disease,
As IA strength-creator for old people del
icate children, weak, run down persons,
and after sickness, Ninol is uneXcelled.
We ask Middlebury people to try vi,
mol on our offer to return their money if
it does not give satisfaction. NJ. X.

An Excellent Showing.

Editor of Middlebury Register:
l would like to. correct the statement
which has appeared in the Register in re-
gard to the financial condition of the
school district in which it was stated that
the present Indebtedness is $2240.17.
Examination of the report just issued
will show that the present debt is Sl7SS.-
81, while the reduction in debt is S2240.-
H. This is "A remarkable showing and in
all probability it cannot be duplicated
next year because it will be necessary to
repay about 500 due the town schools
aid because of the employment of an adj
ditional teacher in the high school,
should it be decided that an extra teacher
is necessary.

A SUCCESSFUL vERMoNTER.

One of the most successful Nermonters
of the day is Gen. Charles X. Darling
who has Just resigned the position of
United States marshal for Massachusetts
to accept that of clerk of the United
States court. The salary of the former
office is $4,000, while that of the latter is
$500, with fees that largely increase the
amount.
Gen. Darling is son of that we'll
known Vermonter J. X. Darling and
was born in Corinth in 1854. He was
graduated from Dartmouth in 1885 and
then entered the employ of the Fitchburg
railroad, and later the Old Colony and
Cheshire railroads. During his railroad
career he plunged into newspaper work
and later studied law, graduating from
Boston university law school in 1895.
Three years later he was instructor in
criminal law in Boston university. In
1887 he Joined the Sons of Veterans, and
two years later became a member of the
9th regiment, afterward rising to be its
commander
Gen. Darling served in the Spanish
war with distinction. He did excellent
service in Porto Rico, and was promoted
to the colonelcy of the regiment, an hon

A point well taken is that of the Scien-
tific American in regard to the danger
of the turnstie doors that are coming in
to more general use in larger places.
While these doors are an attractive
novelty and serve to revent the inrush-
ing of cold draughts, they are serious
menace in case of fire; and some day
there will be "a fearful loss of life in
buildings where the only means of exit
are the doors of this type.

There has been some objection in the
past by the wooden manufacturers TO
buying wool that was tied with ssal
Irvine, or binders Irvine, and this year
they are united in stating that if the pro-
ducers insist on using this Irvine for ty-
ing their wool they must accept a dis
count on the price. Sisal cord, when
used to tie wool, is source of expense
to the manufacturers, as it combines with
the VIC. and has to be removed with
special care, which is costly. This infor-
nation is extended for the benefit of the
farmers through the courtesy Of the firm
of Thomas & Weeks, who are thoroughly
in touch with the conditions governing
the wool trade.

MluuleDurN Register,
Dear Sir;
The publication of the first volume of
near 700 pages containing the breeding
of over 100000 sheep was con pleted the
last week in March and Immediately
placed in the hands of the binder. The
volume will be distributed among the
members of the Consolidated Association
of Merino Breeders early in April.
We expect to commence the pubica-
ton of the 2nd volume at once, aided
by the promptness of the members in
sending in any new additions to their
flocks that they may want to appear in
the 2nd volume giving the breeding of
late additions added to the flock or pic
lures of any individuals in the flock
With each member acting promptly the
2nd volume will be in the hands of the
breeder before the close of 1908.
Remember, there was much delay
caused in the printing of the first volume
10y the members not respecting the order
gwen To have all cuts and flock histories
forwarded to this Office by August LIST,
as a number of prominent breeders de-
Iayed sending their work in until late in
the fall or early in the winter, causing an
unnecessary amount of work in the
mixed up condition and while we are
anxious to place each flock in the best
possible manner, we have given all the
members due notice by mail to promptly
forward all plates aud cuts for publica-
ton in the 2nd volume and without fur
ther notice we will publish without dc
lay, the complete records of the 1907
crop of lambs with the addition of about
80 new flocks.
Yours very truly,
