Can a politician be patriot can
he take office without being infuenc-
ed with its loot, can he pass through
public life undefiled?'
These questions were asked by a
Baptist preacher from his pulpit in the
great city of Philadelphia on last Sun
day, and he undertook to answer them
in a sermon of some length. He
might have cut it short by simply say
ing With God all things are possible. y
at is suggested by contemporary
that court containing Brewer and
Fuller ought to be able to decide
what is whiskey. Savannah Morn
ing News.
Bright idea, that. What's the con-
tempOrarie's name Norfolk Land

But if the Brewer and the Fuller
mix, and the others of the bench fail
to, the decision will be agin EN-, and
still we will be drinking in the dark.

WHAT is HYOMEI?
Have You Heard About thu Catarrh
Cure w. n. Sheldon Guar
antees

HyOmei is a wonderful antiseptic. so
powerful that it promptly destroys germ
life, yet its action on the mucous mem
brane is extremely soothing and healing.
1t relieves catarrh in five minutes; it
cures in a few weeks OF money back.
1t is made chiefly of eucalyptus and
eucalyptol taken from the eucalyptus
forests of inland Australia. The medi-
Cal profession knows that eucalyptus is
an absolutely certain germ destroyer and
with the active principles of eucalyptus
as a base Hyomei is made more efficient.
pleasant and quick acting by the addi-
ton of ThymOl, an antiseptic and disin-
fectant largely employed in the Historian
System. Guaiacol and other important
medicinal agents are also included in the
Hyomei formula, which, without doubt,
is the greatest destroyer of catarrh germs
the world has ever known.
Hyomei is a powerful, penetrating an
tiseptic that is pleasant to use. 1t does
not contain a particle of cocaine, opium
or any habit-forming or injurious drug.

Tansle in Rutland Fair Finances.

There is a tangle in the financial
affairs of the Rutland county fair, which
closed a few days ago, the mixup origin
ating over an apparent discrepancy be-
tween the estimated number of persons
in attendance at the exhibition and tn e
number of tickets reported sold by tn e
treasurer. Edwin Horton of Chittenden.
The later claims that -, 423 tickets
were sold, but reliable sources of in
formation place the number at the fair
during the three days at about 81, 900.
Even allowing for the number of passes
known to have been issued and the num-
Der of soldiers who were allowed on the
grounds free of charge, this seems some
what small and an investigation is being
made by the officers of the association.
1t is said that the difference between the
number estimated and the number of
tickets sold was caused by the number of
persons entering through the gaps in the
fence and in other ways unknown to the
authorities.
w. K. Farnsworth is looking into the
matter and will make a report on his
findings shortly. 1t is thought hat the
association will be able to pay all its bills
this year without raising a levy on the
stockholders.

How the State is eeina Worked"

How the State is Being Worked"
in three cities of the state having Jus
tice of the peace courts much of the
criminal business is lone outside the city
court in the justice courts. The state
hires a city judge and pays him a good
salary to do the business yet much of the
business is not taken to his court and is
transacted by the justice.
The three cities where this practice is
in vogue are St. Adams, Burlington, and
Rutland. The other cities and towns
having city or municipal courts, such as
Montpelier. Barre. Bennington, New
port, etc, try all their criminal business
in those courts.
A comparison of the records for the
year of 1908 show that the justice bills of
costs in st. Adams city amounted to 256
cases and in the city court us cases.
which demonstrates that more cases
were tried before the justice of peace
than before the city Judge in that NUM-
cipality. Two Justices tried the majority
of cases, one having 81 bills of costs in
the March term settlement. 1905. and the
other il, and at the September term set

Burglary in Newport.

Sometime during the night of Tuesday,
August 81. the residence of George B..
Young in Newport was broken into by
unknown persons who got away with
quite a bit of property, mostly wearing
apparel of Mr.. and Mrs. Young. The
burglars were evidently in need of cloth
ing, for aside from a dress suit case
nothing of value was taken except wear
ing apparel. The value of the property
stolen is in the neighborhood of ST 900.
Mr.. Young and his family were at their
summer home at the Bluffs and their
town house had been entirely unoccupied
most of the summer.

il is a handsome house and the paint
was in good condition when we were
there three years ago.
Do WE therefore say that Devoe wears

sandy coast, where the sun is hot and
the flying sand cuts the bark off trees,
Devoe is the only paint that wears more
than one year.
Localities differ; Devoe doesn't differ.
1t is the paint that takes least gallons to
