The Barre Times vouches for the sin
certify of purpose animatng the political
courses of the Rev. Fraser Metzger, pro
gressive" Republican candidate for gov
ernor. We do not recall that The Times
has gone so far on behalf of the regular
Republican andidate.-Rutland News.
If the contemporary should turn to
the issue of this paper on the day fol-
lowing the state convention, it would
find that the paper spoke of Mr., Fletcher
as man who will make clean-cut,
conservative governor--too conservative,
perhaps land will lend dignity to the
Office As the contemporary may re-.
call, The Times has never been wildly
enthusiastic about Mr.. Fletcher as a
candidate for governor, but it has given
him his dues at all times, based on this
papers judgment of him. Likewise with
the Progressive candidate, who so re-
Gently was thrust before the public.
Therein, it has gone no further in behalf
of the one than for the other, merely
intending to give its readers what it
considered to be fair statement con-
corning each.

CURRENT COMMENI'
Taft and Canadian Reciprocity Repeal

The proposed repeal of the Canadian
reciprocity act, with President Taft's
personal approval would not help his
political prospects in the least, for the
mischief has been done, so far as he Is
concerned, and it cannot be undone. The
armers in the border states who orgi
,ally resent the presidents course, and
who, in many cases, turned against him
for the sake OF political vengeance IN
his struggle with Mr.. Roosevelt, cannot
now be appeased appreciably by remov-
ing the reciprocity act from the statute
book. The president would do better. be
would certainly make more consistent
iecora--to stand pat in regard to his
Canadian policy and leave final jldg-
uent OF his course &c posterity. IL is
rasy TO understand the temptation put
before him. The Republican managers

of protection and they could the more

tions Of the interests sheltered by the

Doing the Public Business.

The Messenger believes it would be a
good thing ii the citizens and taxpayers
of st. Adams would take more active
interest in the transaction of the public
business by the city council and make
it point to drop in at the meetings of
the mayor and aldermen more or less
frequently. This is the custom in many
cities and the more elaborate council
chambers in the larger places contain
seating accommodations for large at
tendance of spectators and auditors and
the seats are regularly filled.
OF course, the reader will understand
that such spectators, although citizens
and taxpayers in the community, have
no right to participate in the delibera
tions of the council, except by the court
esy of the council itself, and even then
merely to be heard in an advisory ca
pacity, perhaps, and with no authority
whatever to take part in any decision
that the council itself may be called up
on to make.
But the practice of attending these
meetings. of showing the council that
there is distinct public interest in their
deliberations, will not only be of good
effect upon the labors OF the government,
but it will help the citizens themselves
to understand their own business better
and to pass more intelligent Judgment
upon the way it is from time to time
being done for them.
The Messenger was glad to know of
the unusual attendance OF taxpayers at
the city council meeting last evening
ard it hopes to see the practice continue
and extend to more people. 1t does not
mean to encourage a disposition to en-
croach upon the authority Of the coun-
cilmen themselves nor to suggest any
latent distrust of the present council. 1t
does hope to see greater public inter-
est manifested in the public business.
And it hopes that those citizens that
We're elected from the chambers by the
vote of the council to 60 into executive
session, will not take such offense that
they will not attend another meeting.
Some day it will be a recognized princi-
pie Of our government to do public buusi-
ness and spend the public money in pub
lie. The Messenger does not doubt the
good intentions of its friends, the may
or and aldermen, in this business. But
it thinks. and for years has thought, and
preached that it is n mis-
take to do the business of this city in
sccret.-St. Adams Messenger.

Getting Out the vote.

At their meeting in Montpelier Tues
day afternoon. the Republican state com.
nittee laid plans for getting out the
largest possible vote at the coming Sep
tember election. They did not ignore
the fact that the political unrest has
touched Vermont to a certain degree, and
their effort will be directed towards hold
ing the party vote as intact as possible,
with view TO influencing the rest of
the country in the right direction. The
committee have been promised the as
sistance OF oratorical talent in the cam
paign, and it is expected that Messrs.
Borah OF Idaho, Hadley of Missouri,
Watson of Indiana and Townsend of
Washington will make addresses in diff
ferent sections of the state.
Now that the committee have made
their plans, it is up to every loyal Re-
publican in the state to stand by them
TO the limit and cooperate for the pro-
duction Of as Dig vote as possible.

She says the patient will drop off to sleep and when awakened again by the pain to apply it again where the pain is, so keep doing when in pain.
