alton, and as a result in part of this
beating of tomtoms the organization
has been obliged to contine itself in re-
cent years to trips to interesting points
within our own state.
A number of journeys to famous spots
in Vermont have been really enjoyed but
for several years there has been a dis
position on the part of few dyspeptic
individuals to discredit the intentions of
any person who might extend courtesies
to the members of the press. II a public
man entertained knights of the quill, :"
these disgruntled spirits discovered
politics in it," If a man connected with
any large interest extending hospitality
to a newspaper man or party of news
paper men, it was promptly announced
that he had IAN axe to grind"
1t is about time for the newspaper
craft of Vermont to stand on its char
acter, if not its dignity, in matters of
this kind. So far as we know every
newspaper Office in Vermont pays
regular rates for its telephones, and there
is no reason whatever for blowing smoke
in the direction of Lyndonville for the
purpose OF trying to create the i'm
preston that fire may be smouldering
in that direction. If any newspaper man
does not care to enjoy this seasons trip
of the Vermont Press association, be-
cause he fears he will be unable to resist
some sweet "hello," there is no law that
compels him to make the trip at his own
expense to Lyndonville, but he should
not think for a moment that any
mares nest" discovery will prevent the
Vermont newspaper men from continuing,
to enjoy their annual outing Il Burling-
ton Free Press.

President Taft has declined an invita-
ton to become a member OF the Fat
Mems Club Of New England. He has
made it a rule to refuse membership in
any organization in which he can take
no active part and, as it would be i'm
possible to belong to such organizations
and not neglect his official duties, he very
kindly declines one and all. The above
is to be deplored as he would have added
considerable weight to the club physi-
cally and otherwise.

Take 1t Home.

The Brattleboro Board of Trade has in
circulation some literature that presents
in breezy style sentiment that per-
haps too many St. Adams people need to
take seriously under consideration.
IF you work for a man, in heavens
name work for him-speak we'll of him,
stand by him and stand by the institu.
ton he represents"
IF you live in Brattleboro, live for it
respect the power that protects you,
that surrounds you with the advantages
Of advanced civilization and makes it
possible for you 10 achieve the best
results. Speak we'll of it; stand by it ;
stand for its civic and commercial
supremacy. Ifyou must vilify, condemn,
and eternally disparage, why resign your
position and quit the town, but as long
as you are part of this town of Brattle-
boro do not belittle it. Be loyal"
There is such a vast, such an i'm
measurable distance between intelligent,
public-spirited criticism of local institu-
tions and policies that is meant. as the
physicians diagnosis, to determine the
disease before consulting a remedy and
the peculiar mental crouch that simply
knocks all things, good and bad, and
Indifferent and is satisfied or content
with nothing.
Strangers will speak no more highly of
your ONE town than you do YOURSELF

Good Dog Day Advice.

In those two words, Forget It,"
slang writers have furnished the best
dog days prescription that ever has been
written. 1t will save more lives, prevent
more heat prostrations and abolish more
general grouches than all the nostrums,
precautions and official bulletins that
generations of physicians have devised.
1t 1t were not for the worry habit there
would be few summer complaints of any
kind in this latitude. Worry propels
the mental machinery under forced draft,
draws the blood to the head and creates
a condition peculiarly susceptible to heat.
There is sound philosophy in the
"manana" of the tropics. Even in the
south of our own country the people
have learned that it does not paw to get
excited.
Begin the next hot day with firm
determination to permit nothing to irri-
tate or annoy you. Say tomorrow" to
your troubles. Probably by that time
they won't exist.
Don't watch the thermometer. Ifit is
hot today in Vermont, you can make up
your mind that by tomorrow night
you'll want an extra blanket for the
bed. Refuse to listen to the individual
who is eternally telling everybody how
hot he is
You will be surprised to find that you
have done good days work-if you
think of how cold it will be next Febru-
ary-and scarcely have noticed the
weather. Rutland News.

To prevent Brights Disease,

Brights Disease-Consumption of the
Kidneys, is just as fatal as consumption
OF the lungs, and as it is liable to attack
any one when their Kidneys are in a dis
ordered condition. Every one should
watch their Kidneys and keep them
healthy. One way to do this is to keep
the stomach and liver healthy. If either
OF these organs are unhealthy the Kid
neys soon become affected. Keep your
stomach healthy by using Rvdales
Stomach Tablets, and your liver by
Rydale's Liver Tablets and thus prevent
Brlghts Disease. Chas. "A. Searles & Co

PRESS COMMENT.
'ermont Newspapers and Mares Nests


We notice that few suspicious spirits
in journalism are troubled because the
newspaper men Of Vermont are to be
entertained by the Hon. Theodore N.
Vail of Lyndonville, who happens to be
at the head of the New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company. There
are some people in this world who al
ways bear in mind the French injunction
''chercez la femme, or literally translat-
ed look tor the woman in the case. So,
too, some people spend most of their
time searching for the traditional color
ed gentleman in the woodpile" They
cannot even enjoy a work of art with
out tearing it to pieces to discover the
artists motive"
Time was when the Vermont Press
association was wont to enjoy an annual
excursion to some point of interest out
side OF the state. In order to make out
the required number to secure favorable
rates at hotels and so on it was custo-
mary to invite a few choice spirits out
side OF the profession, and the result was
a series ofjourneys that included some of
the most historic spots and interesting
tourist meccas in the country. The
ard-worked newspaper men enjoyed a
period of yeritable recreation, and their
families caught glimpse Of the world
beyond the ordinary.
All OF sudden somebody discovered
that an occasional politician was includ-
ed IN the journalistic party and a great
hue and cutlery was raised by some news.

with his fellow workers on these jaunts,

True to Old Instincts.

The St. ohnsbury Caledonian, in tell.
ing the story of the Pascal murder in
Caledonia county, concludes in this
strain:
"Our story would be incomplete if we
did not praise the officers and posse OF
farmers who for the five days and five
nights searched the community for the
fugitive. 1t is very easy to be brave
when there is no danger ahead, but it
takes real courage to trek at 8 a. m, out
into the woods after a murderer, drunk
with alcohol, and dead shot. No one
showed the white feather and the men
under Sheriff Winch searched the woods
for several days, knowing full well that
they carried their life in their hands. All
honor and praise to all the officers and
men who did their duty and risked their
lives IN the attempt"
The contemporary has told the whole
story and told it we'll All that the re-
mainder of the state press can do is to
pass it along and commend it to the
thought OF the average man and woman
so prone to look for true courage and
chivalry and daring in the cause Of right
somewhere away from home and forget
full that'a good many unassuming neigh
bors have the kind of stuff in them that
is equal to making history on occasion,
or, at least, to following mans duty
when it leads in forbdding paths and
brings no mead of praise All the manli-
ness of our race all the stubborn, dog
ged courage and determination of the
grim old English archers that won the
day at Crecy, have not been civilized out
OF us yet. There are still yeomen among
us that would be equal to making an
other such page in the story of the world
