Arctander, Aug. 1.-The grim
angel of death has again visited oul
community and claimed as it's vic.
tim one Of our prosperous young
men, Edwald Lien, who died at his
home Sunday morning, August g.
Deceased had been enjoying good
health until a few months ago,
when he was made a subject to the
destructive influences of tuberculo-
sis. All was done that could be
done for him in the line of medical
aid, in hopes Of retarding the sick.
ness, but all in vain. 1t will be re-
membered that he lost his left arm
while shredding corn two years age
and it is supposed that the worry
resulting therefrom and the
thought of going thru life as a
cripple did its part in fastening
the action of the sickness. The fu-
neral took place on Wednesday,
Aug. II. A great number of peo-
pie gathered there, in spite of the
busy season, to pay their last sad
respects to the honored dead. The
church was very appropriately
draped with black and white rib
bons extending from entrance tc
the altar. The coffin was enshroud.
ed in flowers contributed by the
many friends Of the deceased. The
last sad rites were performed by
Rev. Sotendahl, after which the re-
mains were laid at rest in the East
Norway Lake church cemetery
Thus is another young life ended
another chair made vacant; another
comrade removed from our midst.
The sympathy Of the whole COM
munity goes out to the bereaved
family.

Point' was the place for an un-
usual gathering Of ardent and eager
visitors last Sunday evening, the
attraction being the launching of
another modern schooner, the LES
teberga.' AS there are now two
steamers running practically on the
same route, competition. which is
one of the potent factors in the de-
velopment of any trade or occupa-
tion, will undoubtedly set in, thus
insuring better equipment and bet

RESTORING PROSPERITY.
Some Timely Suggestions ms TO How
1t Cnn and Cannot lie Ac-
cOmplished.

(From the Wall Street Journnl)
GLOW to restore prosperity" Is tho
question to be discussed at the Pros
peiity Convention, to be bold this week
under the 'Riisr ices Of the commercial
travellers. The 'sprf,a answer might be
given asT that's uen by Horace Greeley
when he asked how, the United
States could resume epecie payments
"The way to resume" he said, .is to re-
sume"
The way TO restore prosperity Is to
60 TO work harder than ever
II your business Is declining. rodouble
your efforts TO maintain it.
II your confidence had been chilled
by the panic. get new grip upon
yourself, recall the records of our past
progress. and have faith IN the coun-
try's future.
Have You been frightened by the re-
velations during the past few years of
dishonesty In high prices. OF faithless
administration by trustees of other
peoples property. OF deceitful manlpula-
tion Of the markets, and of cruel meth
obs of competition?
| Then call to mind how these things
have been exposed, how new laws have
been enacted and old laws enforced a.
ganst indicators. great we'll as
small, corporate as we'll as Individual ;
and go ahead inspired hy the thought
that we have raised our standards and
purified our methods.
Prosperity Is TO be restored neither
by trying to suspend tie operation of
the laws Of trade, nor by a return to
| ia nld Of tpl of ,-ip Of
statute law. 1t Is not to be restored
by . return to any leadership that has
abused It's trust in the past. nor by
extending n welcome to any demagogue
who preach a doctrine of envy. dis
content and class animosity.
1t Is not 10 be restored by legislating
| IN the interests of farmers. or labor. or
merchants, or investors or bankers. or
any other special class, but by getting
together on platform broad enough
for great national advane that shall
include all sections and all interest. It
is not TO be restored either by indis-
crimlnate attacks on the System" or
by sensational advertisements OF blind
pools and got rich-quick schemes, or
| by any cure-all nostrum. 1t Is not to
be restored by adopting the latest okla
homa fad. or by guaranteeing bank de-
posits. or by accepting the latest det1ni-
ton OF socialism. 1t Is not to be re-
stored by looking back, least OF all by
going back. II Is not to DO restored
| by making any one class carry the
burden OF the enforced economies. but
by distributing those burdens equitably
upon all. 1t is not to be restored by
abolishins the tools of commerce. be-
cause abuses have arisen In employment
Of those abuses.
There is only one royal road to pros
perity, and that is hard. persevering
work, Intelligent saving and decent Nv
Ing. Congress cannot legisate prosperity
into being. Prosperity Is not an act Of
law. 1t IN the product OF hountffW
nature working In ombnation with
faithful labor md great organization
OF business. freed from all interference
save only that needed to insure publicity

GOOD POLICIES FOR VERMONT

In the course OF n recent speech the
democratic candidate for governor made
use OF the following remarks in relation
to the administration which the people
Of Vermont have enjoyed during tho past
few years:
In regard 20 tho statements that have
been made regarding what have said,
want to make n statement that no one
Will contradict or deny. That during tho
last few years we have had the best ad-
ministration the State OF Vermont has
ever had In my remembrance. but I also
want to say in connection with that. that
there 10 a reason for II. What II Is? The
reason Ia this. Governor Proctor, ] be-
lieve, Is one of the greatest and biggest
men in the Republican party to-day. He
spoke from town TO town and he promised
reforms. and want to say to you.
Fellow Citizens. that he Is the frst'man
occupying the position OF governor who
has had the manhood ma honesty to
keep these promises.
No one will attompt TO deny what Mr..
Burke has had to say with reference TO
the merit OF the administration Of Gov

borne in mind that a continuation of the
Proctor policies Is promised by Mr..

1t is TO be feared that some OF tho
will prove to he wiser than Editor
Troup, manager of the New England
Democratic Progressive League, and
that they will be found to have been
more progressive than he in refusing
to receive speech which has been
declared obsolete on good authority.
People In general, however, will be
inclined to regard Editor Troup's Of
fer TO send 1000 copies of Bryans
Madison Square Garden speech into
Vermont as an inadvertent disclosure
of the true condition of affairs. namely
that the question of government own
ernship of railroads is being merely
held under cover for the present, to be
again exploited as soon as the candi-
date from Nebraska feels that he can
safely do so without impcrillng the
chances of success at the polls.
If the Madison Square Garden speech
declaring for government ownership
OF railroads comes TO Vermont for gem
eral distribution, the public will know
for certainty that the issue Is not
dead. II copies of that speech are
Tot forthcoming the public will have
the authority of Editor Troup that at
least 5000 of them are In existence
awaiting n moro propitious tirpc 70
be put before the eyes of voters.
Under these circumstances the vot
ers Of Vermont will be inclined to

RHYME OF THE ROAD,

(By LaRoy Southworth)
a hungry horse to mail rig hitched one
day did plod along the miry way.
AS on lie sped with weary look and wab-
bling gait l thought he meant to
say:
"With spcechless tongue l am forbid to
talk of what know as we'll rs you.
To save expense, remove the rocks and
dig a ditch to let the water through
Just dig a ditch ana lay a tile to
to run the water through,
1t costs too much In time and wear and
tear. when roads are rough in mud
galore:
To move the crops and do the work and
take the mail on time from door to

sure, In all the Jobs you do.
TO bury stones far out of sight, and dig
to let the water through.
Just dig a ditch and lay n tile to
run the water through,
All miles are long when s,ush Is UP to
knee of horse and halfway up the
wheel:
To go on such road Is bad enough to
make the beast OF burden sQueal
And when you vote 10 Ray q tax you will
thereby to public veal be true.
If you insist ditch be dug both deep
and long to take the water through.
Just dig a ditch and lay a tile to

When this Is done. there'll be some fun
To trot both night and morn
I'll never try to bot .r blink
At sound OF autos horn
No odds how bad the air may stink nor
how the autos ny,
My pace upon the road I'll keep and not
attempt to shy.
Give me path wherein my hoofs can
leave print and make the welkin

And then on wings OF speed TN pull you
down the glen to hear the cushat

Thus spake the stee6, whereat the driver
then essayed to add n word or two,
But all he said was sure to end In dig a

Just dig ditch and lay n tile to
