WaItham Watches
AND THE
Catalogue Houses.


Mail order houtes in Chicago and
other cities who list Waltham Watch
es, do so in splse of the fact that neith-
er the Waltham Watch Company nor
its customers will sell them Waltham
watches at all. Mail order houses can
not be equipped to sell good watches.
If you want watch, go to retail
jeweler; he knows how to regulate u,
how to correct any little damage that
may have come to it after leaving the
factory and he will get it started right.
A watch requires personal service
that no mail order house can give. IL
need the jeweler, who knows his trade
to do this.

WV. SALE GETS APPOINTMENT
NEW ADJUTANT GENERAL, A NATIVE
OF RoCKBRIDGE.

NEW ADJ UTANT GENERAL, a NAL +
OF RoCKBRIDGE.
A dispatch from Richmond on Tues
day says: Gov.-elect William Hodges
Mann today announced that he will
appoint Col. w. w. Sale, State sena-
tor from Norfolk City, as adjutant
general of Virginia, to succeed Adjt.
Gen. Anderson, who retires when the
incoming governor assumes the reins
of the State government.
The appointment of Col. Sale has
been foregone conclusion for some
time Col. Craighill, of Lynchburg,
and Col. Granville Games, of Warren
ton, were also considered for the ap-
polntment.
Col. Sale is member of the law
firm Of Sale, Mann & Tyler, of which
Col. James Mann, Gov. Mann's cam
paign manager and political adviser, is
also a member. He is native of Rock
bridge county, Va.
Not so many years ago Col. Sale was
a farmer boy on his fathers farm near
Fairfield, Va. He was ambitious and
industrious. Going to Lexingttn, he
obtained employment in a store as
clerk, and instead of idling his nights
away, as many boys do, Col. Sale
studied law, took course at Washing
ton and Lee University, and when he
passed the State examinations, he
opened offices in Norfolk. He entered
politics in that city and it was not long
before he was nominated by the Demo-
Gratis for the State senate. He is now
serving his third term, and during the
last session he was the Democratic
floor leader of the senate.

VERMONT NEWS
Items of interest from Fourteen coun-
ties of State

The Baptist church of Stamford,
which has been without a pastor for
several months, has voted to extend
a call to the Rev. II. A. Calhoun of
Norridgewock, Me. Mr. Calhoun is a
graduate of Brown University and
Newton Theological seminary
The Rev. Vincent Raw, for the past
two years pastor of the Congregations
al church in Manchester has been
called to the North Avenue Congre-
gational church in Cambridge, Mass,
and preached his first sermon there
Sunday. Mr.. Raw was formerly a
Methodist clergyman but left that de-
nomination because he considered il
not democratic enough to conform to
the spirit of the age.
The Rutland police are mystified by
the disappearance of Special officer
Antonio Valyente as the trial of Dan
lei Jones for intoxication, in which he
is a witness, is being held up thereby.
Valyente made the arrest and immedi-
ately after disappeared. There is a
suspicion that he may have been
frightened away by the threats of suit
for false arrest, while others hold the
opinion that his absence is due to ig-
norance of his duties.

Wonder Why the appointmcni OF
census Supervisor for vermont is
held ups II has been understood for
so'ie iime TIA L. NJ. Hays of lesex
innction Nas the leading candidate
and likely to be appointed 5u for
some reason the actual appointment
does not seem TO be forthcoming
While nothing can be said against the
other candidates, there is no question
of Mr.. Hays special qualifications for
the place. He is one of the abest or
ganizers in Vermont and has capac-
ity for getting work done promptly
and efficiently. When he has hold Of
a thing it is sure to mako progress
ahead. If the Vermont delegation in
congress wants the work done to the
greatest credit of the state, why don't
they secure the appointment of Mr..
Hays. OF course if they are Jockey
ing for some political advantage or to
build up state machine, they can
probably find better spoke for the
wheel than Mr. Hays. The question
is, are they looking for a spoke or for
a census supervisor?

FINE FOR THE KIDNEYS
Out OF Order Kidneys Act Fine After
Taking Several Doses

A real surprise awaits every SUI
ferer from kidney or bladder trouble
who takes several doses of Pape's
Diuretic. Misery in the back, sides
or loins, sick headache, nervousness,
rheumatism pains, heart palpitations,
ond street, Gloversville, N. Y, in or
swollen eyelids, lack of energy and
all symptoms of out of order kidneys
simply vanish.
Uncomfortable urination Especially
at night smarting, offensive and dis
colored water and other bladder mis-
cry ends.
The moment you suspect kidney or
urinary disorder, or feel any rheuma-
tism begin taking this harmless med
icine, with the knowledge that there
is no other remedy, at any price,
made anywhere else in the world,
which will effect so thorough and
prompt a cure as a fifty-cent treat
ment of Pape's Diuretic, which any
druggist can supply.
1t is needless to feel miserable and
worried because this unusual prepar-
alton goes at once to the out of order
kidneys and urinary system, distrib-
uting its cleansing, healing and streng-
thening influence directly upon the or
gans and glands affected, and com
pletes the cure before you realize it.
Your physician, pharmacist bank
er or any mercantile agency will tell
yol that Pape, Thompson & Pape of
Cincinnati, is large and responsible
medicine concern, thoroughly worthy
of yOur confidence
Only curative results can come
from taking Pape's Diuretic, and few
days treatment will make any one
feel fine.
Accept only Papes Diuretic-fifty-
cent treatment-any drug store-any-
where in the world.

evils at one blow. Send sensible,
broad minded men to the legislature,
no matter if you don't like them per-
sonally. Look out for the schemers,
who are working things for their own
advantage or to save a few dollars
for their own pocketbook
Don't believe all the evil you hear
about your neighbor or about your
state, The new Vermont has made
progress and is still making it. These
things must be talked over to get
sensible broad plan of betterment.
BY careful pruning the state can
save a few thousand dollars yearly in
its court cost, a few more in a reduc-
ton of the number of officers and the
consolidation of official duties, little
in salaries, and little in other direc
tons. AT the same time there is
normal healthy increase in the state
income and will be just as long as we
keep the state progressing. With
this increase and what can be saved
of the present state income we can
make a start toward getting the
things that the state needs for its
greater future.
It depends more than anything else
on the men sent to the legislature-to
the Senate and House Of Representa-
lives, and of this the voters have alb
solute control. In a year from now
the legislature of 1910 will be in ses-
sion. 1t is not too early to talk both
about the platform and the candi-
dates The good of the good state of
Vermont is at stake. What are you
going to do about It?

A Primary Election Law

1t is about time for the St. Adams
Messenger to commence talking about
the platform. '-Montpelier Argus.
All right, let's go at it. This paper
reprints today a communication from
Senator Ernest W. Gibson of Brattle-
bcIo. on the direct primary system,
which was OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by the
Brattleboro Reformer. IL is worth
careful reading by every citizen anxi-
Gus to form an intelligent opinion on
this matter so as to be able to pass
Understandings upon the question
when it comes up for popular discus
sion here in this state, as it certainly
will one of these days.
Vermont stands in peculiar need of
a direct primary system as a substi-
tute for the present clumsy and unre-
preventative caucus and convention
method because the overwhelming
one-sidedness of politics here makes
a Republican nomination in most in
stances equivalent to an election.
But, although the nomination does
amount in most instances to an cleo
ton, none of the safeguards that sur
round the ballot box are made to pro-
tect the vote in the caucus or the con-
vention. The loose and well-nigh ire
sponsible assemblage of caucus or a
county or state convention practically
chooses the various town, county, or
state officials under whose admins
tration the people live, but little or
nothing is done TO insure the purity of
the ballot in those meetings or to pro-
tect the public against all manner of
fraud that politicians have before now
perpetrated in or thorugh them. With
singular misdirection of good purpose,
we wait until the governor or the SEN
ator or the town representative has
already been informally elected, and
then make great ado about laws pre-
serving the sanctity of ballot that
is expected to amount to little worse
than prefunctory ratification of that
first election.
A primary election law would help
to lock the stable door before the
horse was stolen.
Let us talk about the PLATFORM

DONKEY BLEW OUT GAS.

St. Louis, April William Grothe,
OF Wentzville, Mo-, through his attor-
ney. is trying to collect from an ex-
press company the value of a donkey
he had bought and which ended his
life while being shipped from Illinois
TO Missouri The donkey was Grated
and placed in the express company's
warehouse here Tuesday night. A gas
let was burning near the animal
when the employees locked the ware
house. In the morning the light was
out and the donkey dead. Grothe
contends that the donkey blew out the
gas while braying.
