Actor Dustin Farnum Disturbed Over

Dustin Farnum, formerly a Pownal

me into this case, not as a co-raspon-

Why doesn't he charge me with some
thing or other If he has the goods on
me?
II am going to tell everything about
my acquaintance with Mrs. Gould to

proving misconduct ON the part OF Mrs

her from Philadelphia to Atlantic

There was no drinking during the

Legislative Representation.

The Waterbury Record doesn't pur-
pose that the small towns shall lose
their respective representatives in the
legislature. At least not until some
body runs steam road roller over the
Record editor and leaves him as fiat
and helpless as last years rose leaf
in the family Bible.
The News confesses to somewhat
kindred feeling, In that it would not
have the small towns lose their pow
er in the legislature. II has always
hoped, however, that in some way a
satisfactory scheme might be devised
to reduce the number of representa-
tives in the House. II has been given
out recently that if the small towns
would consider district representation
on basis of 1000 to 5000 inhabi-
tants. the larger towns would be sat
isfied with one representative as at
present.
If this could be carried out the News
believes it would be a proposition of
value to the state, and this without
changing the present power of the
small towns in the legislature. If the
Waterbury neighbor considers that
the News is surrendering its former
position in the above declaration it
has another guess coming.
OF course it may be argued that I'M
der the above plan we are neither on
town unite or a population basis of
representation, all of which is true;
but what of 1t? We would have a
smaller house of representatives
which, as it seems to the News,
would be more desirable in that we
would get better consideration OF leg
islative measures and at greatly re-
uced cost-Northfel News.

THE ST. ALsANs RAID
Correspondent of Free Press Objects
to Honoring Bennett Young.

10 F1onoFlH9 DSHHe0 tOu"S.
The following letter appeared in
the Burlington Free Press of a recent
date:
To the Editor of The Free Press:
| notice in the Free Press some
comments from the Bennington Ban
ner on the invitation extended TO Gen
Bennett Young to deliver the tercen-
tenary address at st. Adams next
July.
1t is true, as the editor of that
paper says, that as the world grows
older. it is becoming more tolerant
and liberal, but does this justify us
in making a hero of man who was
not then engaged in legitimate war
fare. but who, with the instincts OF a
school boy bully, gathered band OF
sympathizers and swooped down up
on a peaceful little town, hundreds
of miles from fighting territory. muir
dering, terrorizing and plundering-
all to satisfy thirst for excitement
and notoriety?
There were humane and high
minded men in the Confederate army
men like Lee and Gorden who
would not have done what this Young
did if they had had the opportunity.
Such men, the North has honored and
will continue to respect and honor.
Again, the editor of this southern
Vermont paper says
Next to Burlington, where Presi-
dent Taft and party will be the
guests of honor, st. Adams has Sc
cured the most distinguished visitor
for tercentenary week and we trust
that the railroad city's welcome to
the former raider will be just as
heartfelt, etc"
If this raider, Young, is so dis
tinguished'' a man, why not invite
others, equally distinguished" to
help make our precautionary celebra-
ton a grand success? | would sug-
gest that we send an invitation to
Crazy Snake, If anybody knows where
he is. Let him bring a dozen OF his
| faithful followers, and let them loose
on the town, with detachment OF
troops from Fort Ethan Allen in hot
pursuit, to show our people how these
brave, tattooed and feathered war
riors terrorized the citizens of Okla
homa Why not invite Abe Reuf, the
talented CRATER; Emma Golman, the
leading aparchist; and Carrie Nation,
the fanatical saloon smasher? Then
there are those distinguished" kid
nappers, the Boyles, who might feel
hurt If they were left out. Bring
them on and let some Burlington boy
| impersonate little Willie Whitla and
let them go through with their dare
devil act of kidnapping. Then put up
little shanty out on the barge and
let Carrie Nation smash it into kindl-
| ing wood, and If the crowds on the
grand stand are not then satisfied.
Emma Goldman might be invited to
harangue the audience and throw a
bomb at stuffed effigy, to illustrate
how unpopular rulers are blown into
atoms.
Then, after these people have per-
formed their various stunts" give
them a reception and banquet, and
give us all chance to pass around and
shake hands with these distinguish
ed visitors"
Surely, there is need of more toler-
ance and charity in this world. but
is it wise to open old sores that have
nearly healed or are healing as rapid
ly as social conditions will permit?

If IT Dl'AppEARS ITS ExzEMs
How to Tell Whether Skin Affection
is an inherited Blood Disease or
Not

is an Inherited Blood disease OF
Not.
Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether a skin affection is a sign OF
a blood disorder or simply form OF
eczema. Even physicians are OFTEN
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go TO
w. L. Gokay or any druggist who han
dies pure drugs and obtain 90 cents
worth of poslam. Apply this, and II
the itching stops at once and the
trouble is cured in few days 1t may
be set down as having been eczema
as this is the way poslam acts in the
worst cases of eczema and in curing
acne, herpes, blotches, letter, pies,
salt rheun. rash, BARRIERS itch and
other forms of itch, scaly scalp, ana
all surface skin affections.
Those who will write to the Emer-
gency Laboratories, No. 80 West 25tn
street. New York, can secure, by man
free of charge, a supply sufficient TO
cure a small eczema surface or clear
a complexion overnight and remove
pimples in twenty-four hours.

The indian Medicine Man

can produce roots and herbs for every
aiment, and cure diseases that battle
our most skilled physicians, who have
spent years in the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field originated Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has proved more potent and eff
icacious in curing female ills than
any combination of drugs known.

A crowd of two hundred men, "prac-
tically every one of whom could have
been arrested" according to the Rut-
land Herald, trailed after two officers
who were arresting an intoxicated
person in that city last Saturday night
and reviled the officers with coarse
epithets and foul language, but did
not lay hands on them, so far as re
ported. Nevertheless, the former was
bad enough and something which
should not pass without censure and
punishment. There is altogether too
much of this blatant spirit displayed
in our smaller cities where the pol
ice forces, are small, as a rule, and
not within ready call. Had the affair
occurred in large city it would not
have taken long to summon reserves
from police station to dispense the
mob and arrest those who persisted
but in cities like Burlington, Rutland
Barre and Montpelier, the condition:
are entirely different and the handlinl
of such a crowd is not so easy a mat
ter,-Barre Times.
