Five Dollars a Damn.
(St. Adams Messenger)


| The Brattleboro Reformer very prop
erly invites attention to the fact
that if the Sunday blue-law is to be en-.
forced in that community, then the law
against profane swearing be enforced
also. The Reformer is right. A number
of years ago in fact, it was in 1902, Eli Fl.
Porter, of Wilmington, introduced House
Bill No. 203 to repeal the law Furnishing
blasphemy The law reads:
"a person having arrived at years of
discretion who profanely curses or swears
shall be fined not more than So and not
less than 81. if prosecution is commenced
within twenty days after the commits
sion of such offense."
Mr.. Porter's bill did not pass the house.
Few people expected that it would. And
yet probably not one man that voted
to keep this ancient blue-law on the
statute books of Vermont had the moral
courage to go right out Of the capitol and
complain to a magistrate of the first man
he heard swearing after he left his seat
when the ballot was over! What man
that reads these lines has the courage
to prosecute his friends and neighbors
for everyday swearing? Think what a
collection based upon five dollars damn
could be raised for the state of Vermont
if every mothers son of us that has
taken the freeman's oath and sworn to
support the laws actually did our honest
duty by this statute!
That law, like every other, should be
enforced or repealed. If it is not en-
forced but us still permitted to stay
on the statute books. it is nothing more
or less than lie and reproach to us.
And we know it. Yet, when the legisla-
ture meets this fall the first serious pro-
posal to repeal the hypocritical dead
letter, this ancient offense to our honest
self-respect. will be denounced by some
of the brethren as an attack upon Chris
tianity and morals and all that kind of
thing.
o what SNUG generation we are. So
long as we can point to law that smells |
Of incense and sounds like a prayer, the |
levil take its nforcement-Guilty. Five |
dollars, please.

Food for Thought.
(St. Adams Messenger.

A little SILVER of worry goes up the
spines of old-time Vermont republicans
because here and there somebody is bold
enough to contest the party's nominations
and there is a prospect OF having real
fight over the election. Fight! Vermont
republicans do not know what fight
means. We have had our own way here
so completely and so long that anything
short OF election by reclamation puts us
in blue funk The state would be bet,
ter off if we had to fight every time and
fight hard, too. If election day in Yer
mont meant real out-and,out contest,
wouldn't we be pretty particular what
kind of candidates we put up at the polls
everywhere and every time?

THE PICTURE POST CARD.

Three or four years ago all the
facts about the picture postcard in
dustry could have been related in a
few words. In fact, SO far as the
United States was concerned, there
was practically no story to tell. There
may have been 100 shops in the en-
tire country where persons in search
of picture postcards could find a
small stock from which to make n
selection. Originating in Europe,
these cards had met with little favor,
except on the Continent, where they
found a somewhat ready sale as in
expensive souvenirs, and this had
been the condition of affairs for many
years. Suddenly, however, the tide
turned, and, where manufacturers
had hitherto been unable to dispose
of their stock, they now found it i'm
possible to supply the demand-an
imperative cry for picture postcards
coming from every part of the world.
+ from Asia and Africa, as we'll as
{ from America.
Millions upon millions of them are
mailed during the year in this coun-
3 try. In New York city alone the
postoffice handles no less than 1907
600 of these cards every day, and it
is the same story elsewhere-in Chi
cago, San Francisco, New Orleans,
Buffalo and in all the large cities.
Moreover, it is not in the United
States alone that these conditions ex-
list. In Europe, too, all the postal
services are actually inundated with
postcards. 1t is officially stated that
40 less than SOC, 100000 passed
through the British postof1ice during
1905.
E. These are stupendous figures. but
this is the point at which the inn
lgination balks. We can read the
funerals, but we cannot comprehend
hem. Just think of it: One hun
lred thousand postcards a day
nough in year. ii laid picture side

REFORM IN ovERDOsEs.

7 For the past year or two the coun-
try has been given rather drastic
treatment in the interest of reform.
From the grocery store philosopher
to the president of woman's club,
from the space writer to the Presi-
| dent of the United States, everybody
has been prescribing for his or her
country.
/ But there is another side of the
question. We are in danger of TAX
ing an overdose of antidote for an
overdose of cure.
If we need to guard against the
amateur physician, even more do we
need to guard against the ugliness
of an unwilling convalescence.
Suppose we admit that the present
financial situation is in some degree
due to the excessive zeal of reform
ers. Shall we then throw reform out
Of the window?
Is it true that men will not invest
in stocks because of the agitation
against corporations?
Or is it true that now that we
know how our Napoleons of finance
pyramid their investments, reorgan-
ize their railroads, pocket the pro-
ceeds of stock issues, and make runs
on trust companies to put rivals out
of business, we prefer to put our
money into farms?
Reforms cannot be undone by at
lacking raformers. That is only to
deepen the plain citizens suspicion
of the belligerents.
We are learning something else be-
sides the need of discounting the en-
thusiasm of reformers We have been
taught the advantage of reform.
The love of fair play guarantees
that the effect of an overdose will b.
rectified Self-interest should lead
men who are exploiting the present
unreasonable financial crisis in the
interest of reaction to see that their
criticisms will be taken for symp-
toms requiring still further treat
ment.
! We expect convalescence to be
cross. but when they attempt to kill
their doctors we put them into strait.

Delaney Nlcholl, counsel for Mr.. Gould,
replied that while this was once true

ed that In 1906 Mr.. Gould told his wife

issued by the North Central Associa-

In a communication presented 60 the
school management yesterday the as
ISOLATION notifies the school authorities
that all Chicago high school rooms are
greatly oyercrowded and that unless
conditions are remedied every high

school graduates will be refused admits
sion. except by special examination at
every college and university in Iili-
nois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa and
several other middle western states.
Quick action was taken by the school
committee. BY an unanimous vote the
official limit for the number of pupils
in a class room was reduced from 80
to 3O--the figure urged by the associa-
tion-and Superintendent Cooley was
authorized to make the necessary
changes in the seating of the rooms.
This, it was said. will mean increas-
ing the number Of high school teach
ers from 37l to 433 and an immediate
expenditure of about $4,000.
