TRIBUTE TO MIR. FRANK w
STILES.

The Vermont Journal of Wind
sor published the following edi-
torial tribute to Springfield's for
mer editor, Mr.. Frank w. Stiles,
recently under the caption "Story
of a Fellow Craftsman"
Frank w. Stiles of Springfield
was in town last week as juryman
at the Federal Court. Mr.. Stiles
was publisher of the Springfield
Reporter for 80 years, having
founded this paper in 1878. He
was born in Windsor and lived
here until 1864, when he moved to
Springfield and learned the print
er's trade. Mr.. Stiles probably
started as a publisher under more
adverse circumstances than any
other man ever did in Vermont
of his day and generation. 1878 is
not so very longago-only thirty
four years. And he had the cour-
age to start a country newspaper
then with only a hand press to
issue his edition. But he was not
discouraged because he was not
supplied with the most well
equipped plant in the country or
because some kind friend with
money to lend happened to be
short when he wanted to borrow.
OF course we do not remember the
paper that Mr.. Stiles issued thirty
years ago as at that time we had
not proceeded far in this vale of
tears and printers INK, but we
know of a paper he issued at the
time he sold out. 1t was a credit
to the town and is today. The
paper that Mr.. Stiles issued help
ed the town of Springfield. The
citizens of the town helped him.
Here was an example of mutually
in business; rather a religious
procedure but perfectly practical
in business as well.
"No one knows better than the
retired publisher what a service
he has unconsciously and unset
fishly performed for his commun-
ity. So when we meet one of this
guild who has boosted his town
for a quarter century or more
we feel like comforting upon him
the degree of Faithful Servant"
because the majority of them in
are soldiers of the day
and night, doing their best to
help somebody into office; prais-
ing up the town and eulogizing

The current number of the De-
lineator has an article by a city
magistrate of New York, which
takes up the social evil from a
new point of view and shows that
unsupported danger turks in I'M
thought of places. The first emit
rance of the snake to the young
girls paradise of purity is not SO
often through the masculine as
through the feminine avenue. In
other words what is your daugh-
ter's chum whispering to her?' is
as important a question as who
are the boys your Daughters
goes with. If the girl chum has
the disposition along with the
charm of a little older years, she
has your daughters" ear in a
way mo boy can get it. The girl
chum can do more damage by
her example and the lure she
casts over questionable liberties
which she counsels should be per-
mitted. She often not only adj
vises but is an active leader on
the road to disgrace. And the
daughter" is not reused and
shocked by the girl chum's Ian
guage or action, when she would
be should a boy try to get her
to stop being a "prude." The
girl chum may be the very kind
OF a girl you would least sus-
pect. The article should be read
by every parent who has a
daughter. This is not a theory but
the practical experience of a man
who passes judgment on the fall
en- womanhood which New York
City casts up to him, and too
much of it comes from good hon.
es where the girl chum" has done
her work too well.
We are to have some women
spell binders in this campaign but
that is nothing new, for a woman
did good campaign speaking for
Abraham Lincoln. Of course, it
makes little difference whether it
is a woman or a man who does
the speaking. Sometimes it MAX
es little difference what they say
but the personality of the speak
er is everything. Alas, voters are
often swayed as much by their
emotions as by their Judgment.
Campaign speaking recognizes this
fact, although some speakers have
the happy faculty of combining
eloquence and logic even in the
heat Of political campaign. One
good thing about this campaign
is that general business is I'M
disturbed.
Most of US have times when we
feel that this one or that one does
not like us and we also feel rath-
er inclined to blame them for
their lack of discretion. How
many of US would shift the blame
if we should ask ourselves the
question asked the child in the
Secret Garden, "Well, how do you

Once more we hear the war cry,
Maine and Vermont are barometer
states and there will be some
thing of a campaign in both stat
as to get a full vote in September.
Both, or we NAV say all three
parties, will use this vote for all
it is worth as a straw indicating
the sentiment in the country. The
fact that the Vermont Republicans
in their convention cheered Taft's
name for five minutes is being
used even now. Should Vermont
poll a vote like the Mckinley
landslide then it will be taken by
those who read the weather signs
as a good omen for Taft; should
the vote be small, even while safe
ly Republican, then the Roosevelt
party or maybe the Democrats
would see hope in Vermont's YER
dict. AS long as Vermont does not
change her election date, she
ought to live up to her barometer
reputation.

hope that it will be the latter and

the white slave traffic is the pro-

newspapers seem hardly able to get
enough of their contract labor law vio-
lation case at Boston, in which the
names of the Willeys. the big wooden
mill owners of Bradford, and Shipley,
England. has figured SO prominently.
The odd feature of press comment
here is that the newspapers. which
always bitterly denounce the impor-
tation of foreign labor into England
to compete with that of British work
ingmen, almost uniformly resent in
reference with the importation OF
British labor into the United States to
compete with labor there.
Much sympathy Is expressed for
Saville and the Willeys and most OF
the newspapers agree that they will
have no trouble in showing that they
have done nothing wrong.

They Neglect Their Bowels and
the Poisons vitiate the

Hot weather has very weakening
effect on Nomen. They become too
languid to exercise and have appetite
for light, tasty foods, like salads and
other cold concotions, which do not
digest readily and tend to increase
their natural tendency to constipa,
ton.
At this season women, especially,
need all their strength to resist the
enervating effect of the heat. Good
digestion and regularity OF the bowels
are essential. Some fruits have laxa.
tive properties, but they are uncertain
in their effect, and are not generally
advised. A mild bowel stimulant and
digestant, such as DIR. caldwell's Sy.
rup Pepsin, is preferable because it is
certain in its effect, natural in It's q.
ton, and wholly safe. Take dose

Senator Edmunds is In thorough

takes precisely their view. They are
even better contented with the method
