To Stop cramp in the Lea.

To those who suffer from cramp in
the leg at night, the following may
be useful: When the cramp comes on
take a good long string-a long gar
ter will do-wind it round the leg over
the place that is affected. and take
the end in each hand and give it a
sharp pull-one that will cause a lit
tie pain. Instantly the cramp will de-
part, and the sufferer can return to
bed assured it viii not come on again
that night.-Health.

Labelling the Lobbyists
Iarrn Tincs.l

i
At the recent session of the New
Hampshire legislature, the SUM OF
10000 was paid for = lobbying
agents, revealing how many agencies
are rcing brought to bear on lcgisla-
tors ia comparatively small state
This amount was paid to lobbyists for
both public and private purposes and,
presumably, it covered what would lie
called both good and bad legislation
New Hampshire 5 law regarding the
revelation of amounts paid for Iegis-
iat;ve service to these agents has Il
tendency to reduce the participation
for the so-callcd bad purpose and it is
4 law to be copied or used as a model
by every other state in the Union.
If Vermont had such q law, we
should known whom the lobbyists rep
resented at Montpelier and, of les
ser moment, we should know how much
those lobbyists were paid for appear
ance at the state house there. Such
a law would force the hidder inh1l-
cncos out into the open, and it would
caablc the public to know what inter
ests stand back Of particular meas
ures The latter information is com
ing to be more and more desirable in
Vermont as the outside influences are
increasing in number and possibly in
4 power.

The landlord says. "They are good

The United Charities must either
prove their insinuations regarding

United Charities may have no further

But sad 10 say twas all dream
The harps ~ Jove in anthems ring
And camly float their strains

With his books, as whiis be roads

And the glow within him burning
Thus can he sing this minstrel-y

And portray deep the way,

Our supreme court il now con-
STEERING the Southern or second
district. 1t will not reach the
Northern or third district until
the first Monday in March and
possibly NOT then. This court lie
almost one year behind with its
work. Some relief will have to
DO given this overworked body ot
men. Ii is not so much a dues-
ton Of considering the interests
the several judges may have in
this matter, they can DO only 80
much, but it's u question that in.
wolves the rights Of the citizens.
A litigant ought to have HE case
heard speedily. In many instan-
ces small eases are Of more value
to !itigan,s than larger ones t
others. The small matter ina,
inv-lve about all the small mai
has.
The supreme court needs as
sistsnce in some way. Thor,
seems to be only one way tina
any assistance can be had snc
that is by constitutional amend
mont and tina, to the effect tina
a! least seven judges be allowed
and those judge work in iwo al.
Visions as is the case in Alabama
Only in this WY can any relic
be afforded. An appellate cour
will be Of little or no good: j
only complexities the judicia
machinery. The next legislator,
will likely attempt to remedy thi.
long neglected subject.

After strenuous caucus lasting al
most until daybreak, Judge Nathan

today decided upon by the Republl-

The last ballot stood GoR 40, Ell
kins 8, Mann 4, and Edwards /.
Judge Goff did not receive enough
votes in the caucus TO insure his
election n the legislature today, the
last day of the regular session, but
his supporters were confident that
the required number would be cast
for him.
Extraordinary efforts were made
during all yesterday and last night
to bring the contending Republican
factions together, but without sue
cess. Early today after the caucus
had voted for hours young delegate
shouted from his seat that Judge
Con was the only one of the men
