DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerou.
for Brattleboro People to
Neglect

The great danger of kidney troubles is
that they get firm hold before the sui
forer recognizes them. Health is grad.
ually undermined. Backache, headache,
nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago,
urinary troubles, dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease follow in merciless sue
eession;, Don't neglect your kidneys;
Cure the kidneys with the certain and
safe remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills, which
has cured people right here in Brattle-
boro.
Mrs. A. w. Larson, of Chestnut St.,
Brattleboro, VT, says: For a year or
more | was subject to pains in my back
which were worse at night. As a conse-
quence | arose in the morning feeling
lame and sore and tired out generally on
account of being deprived Of my sleep.
Lifting, STOPPING, or any extra strain on
the muscles of the back was sure to bring
twinges of pain. | tried many remedies,
but met with Indifferent success until /
went to F. H. Holden's drug store and got
a box of Doan's Kidney Pills. l soon
found that they were helping me, and
after using two boxes the pain entirely
and my back was stronger.

ENCOURAGING RESENTMENT.

The Rutland Herald is of the opinion
that the "N.oran bolt'' bids fair to split
the republican party of the town into two
distinct factions, unless someone raps
the heads of the principal newspaper
writers in that city together and reminds
them that election is over" This sounds
as if the Herald editor had been reading
some of the warm and rariied air which
has appeared of late in Brattleboro de-
spatches to outside papers. 1t is a fact,
acknowledged we believe by all concerned,
that our recent representative fight left
very few Commissions considering its siren
uounsess, and in this fact-as well as in
some Of the lessons which the campaign
taught-lies our hope for future accom-
plishment. In the past Brattleboro has
seen many of its fondest hopes dashed
against rocks of resentment, formed by
campaigns similar to that just closed and
solidiied by just such articles as the Her
aid editor has apparently been reading
None of us can afford to allow such OBJ
stacles to form again in our path of
progress We must all put our shoulders
to the wheel and work together with one
common end in view, namely, a bigger,
busier better Brattleboro.
Nothing can possibly be gained at this
late day by impugning the sincerity of the
motives of either side or by parading the
black and blue Spots of those who may
have been bruised in the struggle. Our rep
resentative-elect, we believe, will endeavor
to the utmost Of his ability to uphold and
further the interests of this town; the |
very narrowness of his victory ought to
stimulate him to the highest type of ser
vice. Those who opposed him, no matter
how well founded their reasons may have
been, have before them but one true
course and that is to accept the situation
in spirit of fairmindedness and unset
fshness. Nothing The Reformer has ever
done in recent years has caused it to be
the recipient of so large a measure of
sincere congratulation as its advocacy of |
Mr.. Moran, yet it stands ready to give
Mr.. Barber prompt credit for every bit of
good work he does in the legislature this
fall, believing that Mr.. Barber will work
as much in the interests of the 1872 who
opposed him as for the 500 whose votes
gave him the victory.

The Ubiquitous Majority.
.(St Adams Messenger)

With the experience of town after town
this week trying to choose representa-
tive in the legislature by vote of the
majority as required by Vermont's an
cent law, it will be small wonder if there
is not another serious attempt made at
the next session to at least SO modify the
statute as to permit choice by plurality
on the second ballot. The aggregate Of
expense, unnecessary expense, incurred in
the several towns that this year balloted
so many times without result would 60 a
long way toward accomplishing some prac-
teal and longneeded local good in other
directions if the matter is to be looked
at from the economic viewpoint at all.
But, back of all that, everybody that
knows anything at all about the human
nature of which he himself has part,
knows that these fierce and continued
contests leave a legacy of political jeal
ousy and distrust behind them that for
the two years intervening more or less
affect local relations and conditions and
then blossom out again in renewed feud
at the polls. 1t is not free government,
it is vendetta.

OUR NORMAL SCHOOLS.

The shortsightedness Of Nermonts at
titude toward matters educational has
further proof in the report just issued by
the commission appointed to examine the
normal schools OF the state. This body
is unanimous in its opinion that the pres
ent normal school system is entirely in
adequate TO meet the educational needs
of the present time. The buildings are
poorly adapted TO modern requirements,
the appropriations for normal schools are
insufficient with the result that the
schools are poorly equipped the salaries
too meagre to allow the retention OF com
petent teachers, the courses too limited
and the attractions 10 prospective pupils
too few; the normal schools do not rep
resent the educational ideals of the state
nor can they ever hope to attain rep
resentative status under existing condl-
tions, the opportunities for aifording nor
NAL pupils practical training are lament
ably few, the standards OF admission are
too low, and the outlook for Improvement
in these respects is not encouraging under
present conditions.
The commission recommends the adop'
ton of definite policy that shall con-
template the successive replacing OF the
present normal schools by modern, ade
quate plants; provision by the next legis-
lature for the erection and maintenance of
a new normal school to be located in a
town easy of access from the central and
eastern parts Of the state, the new school
to displace the present one at Randolph
and to become a central normal school
with higher entrance requirements and a
correspondingly broad curriculum; in
creased appropriations for the schools at
johnson and Castleton; the formation of
contracts between the state and towns
in which normal schools are located
for furnishing satisfactory training
schools with guaranteed minimum
number of pupils; the repeal of the law
providing for the certifcation of grad
yates of approved high schools.
To any reader of the report of the nor
NAL school commission it is clear that the
investigators have done their work care
fully, reached their conclusions logically |
and recommended wisely. With relation
to our normal schools as well as in other
matters we have followed the
pound-foolish policy spending
ittleland expecting much. The result has
been that we have been training normal
teachers for other communities and that
our normal institutions have reached
point where they offer little, or no attrac-
lion to the young people of the state who
desire to learn how to teach by the most
approved methods.

Vermont Thrift.


An official of the government has been
to Brattleboro to see about site for the
new post office building to be erected
there. Several sites were offered, but in
most cases the prices demanded were ex.
orbitant, and the Inspector refused to
consider them. One lot that had an as.
sessed valuation of less than $4,000 was
gravely offered at $4,000 And Vermont
is not the only state where this partic.
ular brand of thriftiness prevails. Sena-
tor Hoar once said in speech in the sen.
ate that in Vermont no man was allowed
to vote unless he had the record Of beat
ing Massachusetts man in horse trade
Whereupon, Senator Proctor spoke out
and said: 'Well, we all vote i'll Yer

The republican campaign textbook fol
1908 was issued at New York Saturday
by the republican national committee. 1t
is volume of 536 pages, and contains in
detail an explanation of the various ques-
tions that are under discussion in the
president presidential campaign and the
attitude of the republican candidates
thereto contrasted in some cases with the
present or past attitude of their demo
cratic opponents. The purpose of the
book, it is stated, is to furnish in concise
form for reference such information as is
likely to be required by speakers, writers
and others participating in the campaign.
Subjects likely to receive especial atten-
ton in the campaign, such as control of
corporations, the money panic and the
relief afforded by the treasury depart
ment, wages and prices, tariff, the Philip
pines and the work of the army and the
navy are presented as fully as practicable
Besides these subjects, the book contains
the acceptance speeches of William. H.
Taft and James S. Sherman, and articles
on prosperity, publicity of campaign con-
tributions, the attitude of the two par
ties toward colored citizens, guarantee of
bank deposits, President Roosevelt's ad-
ministration, outline of the work of the
Goth congress, the platforms of the two
parties and William j. Bryan's speech of
acceptance.

The success OF the concert from the new
bandstand at the corner OF Bridge and
Vernon streets Wednesday proves the
wisdom of having a place for the band to
play in that section OF the town, Within
hearing distance of the new bandstand
there are doubtless a number OF people
who for one reason or another are unable
to go out to attend concert. For these
people the music must have been partic-
ularly enjoyable. There are shut.ins also
in other portions of the town and on
their account if for no other reason con

For that matter the village might well

attractive.
