Still trusting to law as a panacea
for moral ills.
1.-THE recent convention of Vermont
Unfversalists declared in favor of
laws that will eliminate, or at least
materially mitigate, the cigarette evil
as affecting the boys. An excellent
declaration. But the very best way
we can think of to remedy the cigar
cite evil is to see that the men who
go to the legislature next year are
men who are interested in the deliver
ance OF the boys from this snare and
who will not allow anti-cigarette leg
islation TO be side-tracked as II so of
ten is Ludlow Tribune.
When has it been sidetracked
What's the matter with No. 1902 of the
Acts of 1900, now in the Public Stat
utes as section 1904?
"A person who sells. gives away, or
furnishes to a person under q years
of age cigarettes, cigarette papers. or
cigarette wrappers, shall be imprison-
ed not more than two months or nned
no more than $50 or BOTH
Why not enforce what law we have
before ealing for more? When the
people have not the desire for law
in their hearts. attempts to patch up
a weak-backed statute with fresh
legislative plasters will not put new
spine into public sentiment. Reform
must begin with the people for whom
the law is made. Law expresses that
stage of social and moral development
at which society has already arrived,
and that to which is aspires.-St. AL
bans Messenger.

Holiday in Disuse.

This is Bennington's own holiday,
fashioned by the Vermont legislature
as fitting reminder of really impor-
tant battle In the infant nations
struggle for liberty, but allowed to
lapse into a merely local celebration
At Bennington. Outside of the banks
and a few state offices at Montpelier,
the day is dishonored by being allow
ed to pass without general obser-
vance. Indeed, few people recall that
August 10 has any significance what
ever in the chronology of the state,
because of the slight attempt at cele-
bration of the day; and were it not
for the fact that Bennington still OBJ
serves Bennington battle day and the
NEWSPAPERS make occasioned refer
ence to the event, this legal holiday
would be no different from any other
of the weeks days of the year. This is
unfortunate and speaks poorly for our
state pride. It's true that we are
more or less surfeited with celebra-
lions and hard put to it to muster up
enough enthusiasm to make nttlng
celebration so soon after that greater
day. the Fourth of July; but since the
dav is distinctly Vermont's possession
and our only exclusive holiday there
ought to be wider observance OF Ben.
nington battle day. Perhaps 1t would
be a good idea for the chief executive
of the state to make formal notice OF
the holiday reasonably in advance
and by so doing encourage an obser'
vance Then, If that means fails. lei
us abolish a holiday which has nc
place of honor anywhere except in
Bennington. where the battle for lib
erty was fought-Barre Times.

Madam, Would You
Like a Healthy
Complexion?

The rosy cheeks, red lips, and bright
sparkling eyes Of natural healthy beauty
is the only kind that charms. Lotions.
washes, paints and powders deceive no one.
The real Beauty of Health comes only
with pure rich blood What makes pure
red blood Why, your stomach, liver and
bowels all working right. Dyspepsia, in
digestion, constipation and biliousness will
ruin any complexion. To get rid of these
and have the Beauty of Health, the only
real Beauty, take Smiths Pineapple and
Butternut Pills. They invigorate the
blood, strengthen the nerves, and the skin
becomes rosy and red, showing the circu-
lation is normal and active as Nature in
tended it should be. Physicians use and
recommend. They form no habit You
should always keep them on hand. These
little Vegetable Pills will ward off many ills.

Wireless Telephones.

After exhaustive tests the electrl-
cal jury of the Alaska Yukon-Pac
i exhibition conferred on A. Frederick
Collins, inventor of wireless teleph-
ony, the Gold Medal, the highest
award for wireless telephones on com
mercial utility and technical superior
ity. The judges were Prof F. f..
Johnston, Washington University; F..
/ n. Turner IT, S. Army and Leopold
Stocker, Electrical Engineer
Among the group or mechanlsms ex-
/ hibited in the booth of the Collins
| Wireless Telephone Co.. in the Man
ufacturers' building, is the most pow
erful wireless telephone transmitter
in the world, with which the inventor
made the first American long distance
! test, talking from Newark to Philadel-
phia. He is now in Seattle superin-
tending plans for the establishing of
the Collins system in the Northwest.
Not only the judges but laymen have
been keenly interested at the expos
ition by Collins rotating oscillation
arc which makes wireless telephony
possible, and it is easily understand
able, because like all great inventions
it is simplicity itself. With a direct
connected motorgenerator. the arc
and an auto-transformer, 1t is possible
for the instruments to stand high po-
tential strains, even up to 100000
volts. in the transmission of articu-
late wireless messages.
AT private tests made in the Edison
laboratory, Boston, Mass, DR.. Bell, a
famous consulting electrical engineer,
and Prof. Kennedy. head OF the de-
partment of Electrical Engineering at
Harvard University, pronounced the
Collins instruments superior to any,
ever made and stated, that as they
produced the spark that was as a
continuous ribbon OF light, were the
only mechanisms which made wire
less telephony possible. Scientific
publications place Collins in the class
with Morse, Bell and Marconi in fur
thering the progress of modern cleo
trioal science.

The Barre Times has not forgotten
the work done by the tax commission
appointed in 1896, and in discussing
men eligible for the governorship re
fers to "a man from Bennington who
put in the greater part of year and
a half studying tax problems for
which the state has not yet even
thanked him." Vermont has not
shown herself very appreciative of the
splendid public service done by the
tax commission, that's a fact. And it
is not to her credit, not only that she
has treated good servants with indif-
ference. but that she has even scorn-
ed to follow any part of their wise
and disinterested advice as her own
sons and well wishers.-St. Adams
