FAIRGROUNDS FOR CHILDREN
burlington free Press.)

burlington Free PresS.)
The movement in favor OF play
grounds for the poor children of Bur-
lington, which is being championed
by Alderman Cowles in particular as
well as by others, has gained a firm
hold in many cities. There are many
sides to the question, and not the
least consideration in this connection
is the influence of orderly and beauti-
full surroundings on the character of
children thus favored. Another point
of view is taken by the Boston Herald
in an editorial paragraph which
says:
Childhood is entitled to its play
time and also to it's Fairgrounds
Statistics have been gathered showing
that last year 1902 children were in
jured while at play in the streets of
New York and of that number SO died.
They We're playing in the streets be-
cause they had no other accessible
place in which to play. These figures
ought to be given wide circulation,
in the small cities as well as the
large, to help on the movement which
now is gaining recognition in support
of the rights of the children"
We are accustomed to think that
in a city of the size of Burlington
most children have their own yards
in which to play, but we would UNI
questionably be surprised if We could
know the large NUMBER of children
who are actually driven to the STREETS
in this city because they have no 9TH
er open ground on which they can
enjoy that exercise we hold to be es-
sential to physical development even
when young people reach the college
age
The children's playground move
ment should be encouraged by all pub
lic-spirited citizens OF Burlington.

'ious kind Of rvsctionary Insurgents
in the anti-Hughes Republicans, who
are doing more to harm the party in
the eyes of honest and intelligent
voters than the most radical of West

luded, but as rule they are honest.
1t is feared that as mucn cannot be
said for the Wadsworth-Wo Woodruff

There is necessity for some good
hard fighting within the party ranks
in order that the wiser and better ele-
ment may gain complete control, The
Democrats have nothing attractive to
offer. The party of progress marches
under the Republican banner. We
need, however, to give our leadership
into the hands of neither radical mol
reactionary, but rather to safe, hon
est, progressive men, who will rep
resent the best thought of the Nation

1t doth not yet appear how much
Slack sentiment there is outside of
Caledonia county in connection with
the second place on the ticket; but
in view of the emphasis which is be-
ing put on that gentleman's candidacy
in certain quarters, it would seem to
be a wise thing for Windsor county
to stop talking about two candidates
within it's borders and get down to
the business of one or none. Both
Dr. Kidder and Mr. Leland have
friends whose good wishes run in
their direction; but it ought to be
fairly clear to both that neither can
capture the .,rize if both keep in the
race; and the probable result of the
dual situation will be to bring about
a complication that will result in the
choice of somebody not now talked
of as a candidate.

We have very much to learn as a
people regarding the value of natural
scenery. More and more we are com
ing to appreciate the worth of the
harvest of beauty that may be reaped
from mountain and valley, lake and
ocean, sunset and sunrise, the cloud
effects upon the hills, the glory of
the forests, the charm of little rivers
as they go singing down to the sea,
the songs of birds and the sweetness
and richness of flowers. And what

we have here in Vermont. II it could

would appeal irresistibly to the lovers
of the beautiful everywhere.

A School Site.


To the Editor of the Journal
Feeling very much interested in the
welfare of our city, the very impor-
tant question now before our people
feel this is very important one, not
alone to the taxpayer but to the boys
and girls as well.
There seem to me to be three very
important features, first, central To-
cation, second, good air, third good
light. Now in my opinion of all the
sites which have been mentioned, the
Walker and Blanchard property
meets all the above requirements, and
nice building would be an ornament
to the city, and if am correctly in
formed the price is not very high.
The question of cutting down and
lowering the hill ! believe to be I'M
necessary, farther than grading
there is plenty of room for all sur
plus dirt without carting any away,
and is plenty large enough for all
school purposes. There is one ques-
ton / wish to mention, in regard to
our new school building and which,
| | do not believe it to be all necessary
or useful, and / hope our voters will
consider the question before voting,
that is a gymnasium. l agree with
Mr.. DeBoer's idea, our boys and girls
should give more attention to school
/ do not think the majority of tax
! tain a gymnasium. Build building
| large enough for several years tC
come, the present plans are large en-
ough for city twice our size and
do not think we want to heat and
maintain a building twice as large as
is necessary. We at present are bad
ly in debt, and building a new school
adds as much more and the question
of a new system of sewerage and a
paid fire department which is sure tC
come in the near future, l for one
feel we should give these very impor-
tame questions very careful consider
alton.
1t is question which do you want
reasonable taxes and increase in the
population, or high taxes and dead
town. Voters / ask you to consider
these matters. Do not stay at home
and say my vote will not make any
difference. 1t certainly does make a
difference. Consider we'll the Walker
and Blanchard site.

REACTIONARY INSURGENTS.

Congressman Flumley's interview,
prRted in Saturdays Journal, was
a Vely illuminating exposition of the
difficulties which the President is
compelled to meet. 1t may be new
idea to some persons, but it is true,
nevertheless, that not all the Insur-
gents are radicals. There is a reac-
tonary element sometimes known as
Standpatters, who probably do far
more harm than the mere noisy type.
1t is the reactionary type that stands
for the tariff abuses that have done
great harm to the Republican party.
The stubborn manner in which such
men as Cannon, Dalzell, Fordney, and
Hale have fought, reasonable reform
legislation has done much to cause
a feeling OF resentment which may
cost the party MANY votes this fall
Today the wooden industry is said
to be timid and apprehensive of fur
ther tariff legislation. If Senator AL
drich and other powerful high tariff
men in Congress had not forced
through a measure which refused tc
yield to a popular demand for cut
in the wooden, cotton, and steel
schedules, the wooden industry would
not today be fearful Of an angry pub
lie opinion and it is probable thai
the party would not be split open by
Insurgency
AS the Journal has often declared
the safe course for the Republican
party, in it's opinion, is a middle
course between the radicals and the
reactionaries. In that path President
Taft will be found and the majority
of Vermont Republicans will be con
tent TO follow him.
New York has particularly pernic

CATARRHAL DISEASES OF
SIlRfSqTp TtkfE

Most people Think that catarrh doefS
not prevail in the summer time. Ca
tarrh is generally 'egarde6 as winter
disease.
| 1t certainly is trI e that catarrh of the
throat, bronchial tubes and lungs is
more prevalent during the winter time
| But it is also true that catarrh of the
stomach, bowels and kidneys is more
| prevalent during the summer time
Thus we have catarrhal diseases Of sum-
mer, and catarrhal diseases of winter.
| 1t Is probably true that the mortality
from catarrhal diseases is greater in the
winter time than in the summer. But
yet there is an alarming number of peo-
pie who die annually from those ca.
tarrhal affections that are peculiar to
summer.
Catarrh is chronic congested infiam~
nation OF a mucous membrane. The
mucous membrane of the stomach is
just as liable to catarrh as the mucous
mem brane of the throat, the lungs, thv
bronchial tubes. Catarrh of the stom
ach is the same kind of disease "a
catarrh of the throat and lungs. So, also,
is catarrh of the bowels. Catarrh of the
kidneys. Catsrrh of all the other in.
ternal organs.
Catarrhal diseases peculiar TO summer
are, catarrh of the stomach, sometimes
called gastritis; catarrh of the small
intestines, sometimes called enteritis:
catarrh of the colon, sometimes called
colitis. These diseases are very prev.
alent during the summer, especially if
the air be hot and humid.
We regard Peruna as an excellent
remedy for these forms Of internal ca
tarrh. DR.. Hartman's practice, which
covered period of many years, in
which he used chiefly Peruna for all
bowel diseases, is confirmatory of this
fact, from the standpoint of profes-
sional test.
The multitude of letters that we re-
ceive from all parts of the United States.
in which the effect of Peruna is de-
scribed upon catarrhal affections of the
internal organs, would make it appear
that Peruna is certainly one of the
greatest remedies fer this class of dis
eases, IL not indeed the very greatest.
In collie and cram ps, attacks of in
digestion, distenhon of the bowels by
gas, diarrhea, constipation, Peruna ia
relied upon by thousands of people and
Its use as a household remedy gains a
stronger hold upon lbe people as time
goes on.

(St. Johnsbury Caledonian.)

The announcement of John A.
Mead that he proposes if elected Gov
ernor of Vermont to keep a corps of
advisers with him at all times, prin-
cipal among whom will be Sen. John
l.. Lewis, his campaign manager, if
it means anything, is a confession
that he does not feel himself qualified
to serve the State as Governor.
Aside from naming Lewis as his
chief man he does not indicate who
the real Governors of the State will
be. So the choice of Mead will be
much like buying pig in the bag.
Mr. Lewis competency as an adviser
is not questioned but if he is to be
the Governor in fact why not make
him oGvernor in name. Vermont has
always admired men who We're capa-
BILE of serving as Governor themselves
rather than men who propose to serve
as mere figure heads.

MR.. PLUMLEY'S WORK.

Congressman Frank Plumley, with
Congressman Lever of South Carroll
ma, has been doing some excellent
work in preparing a report on the
Weeks bill relating to the protection
of watersheds of navigable streams
and the purchase and requirement OF
forest lands in other ways. The agri-
cultural committee of the national
House of Representatives stands IL
to in favor of this BILL and the
Plumley-Lever report expresses the
sentiment of the majority.

(Randolph Herald.)

Doctor Mead's friends in Rutland
formed large campaign club last
week and rendered him serenade at
his home. The doctor responded with
speech, reported in part by the
Rutland Herald as follows:
Regarding the statement that he
was merely seeking the honor as .
handle to his name, Dr. Mead stated
that he intended to propose legisla-
tion along certain lines. He wanted
to attempt several things that We're
out of the ordinary. The work of
personally reviewing all bills was too
much for one man to do properly, and
in the best interests of the State, as
the Governor is now expected to do
If elected. the doctor would have at
his right hand as adviser in these
matters one who has helped him
greatly by his advice thus far in the
campaign. Senator j. l.. Lewis
would be with him at Montpelier to
help him. He would also surround
himself with other capable men,"
So we are to have an official cab
met surrounding the Governor, with
Senator j. l.. Lewis, the Doctors
faithful Boswell, as prime minister.
The senator is to examine and o. X
or N. G. all measures that come up
| TO the Governor. The service that
the Senator has so freely and faith
fully given during the campaign is to
be continued during the administra-
tion-of course without promise of
pay or reward"
But what is the Acknowledgement
TO do, whose statute duty is to coun-
sci and advise the Governor in these
very respects? Sergeant is a big,

to see the lean and hungrey Lewis
shouldering him out OF the way.
MR.. STACKS CANDIDACY.
(St. Johnsbury Republican,


The Montpelier Argus thinks It
would be little surprising if Caledo-
MIA county walked away with the
Lieutenant Govenorship nomination
but admits that it is not beyond the
bounds of probability, and the St. AL
bans Messenger suggests that his
name would seem to be the only
thing against the st. Johnsbury can
didate. One factor that seems to be
working in Mr.. Slacks favor is the
inability of the two candidates in
Windsor county to get together. DR..
f. r. Kidder of Woodstock and Col.
G.. f. Leland of Springfield are both
candidates for second place on the
ticket, but neither will take second
place to the other in the county.
Now Mr.. Stacks friends have
stronger arguments in his favor than
the mere fact that his opponents have
their horns hopelessly locked. Mr..
Slack. as will appear from the brief
biographical sketch in another col
umn, is a man of ability, breadth OF
view and experience and is in every
way eminently fitted for the position
The county, and we believe, this
part of the State, will cordially and
unitedly support his candidacy.
We ask the Republicans of the
State to place the St. Johnsbury
man on the ticket because we are
sure it will add to it's strength will
