A DEAF EAR TO
THE PEACE PLANS OF FORD

Ford enterprise had suddenly turned
favorable.
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1915-07-27

We sometimes think that party
feeling runs high nowadays but it
isn't a circumstance to what lit was
in the days our grandfathers. The
Vermont Gazette published in Ben
nington by the Haswell family was a
Democratic paper of the extreme
type. In 1886 it advertised for several
weeks a Democratic celebration OF
the battle of Bennington, and warned
all Wings, Federalists and Nullifiers
to keep away. In 1870 on the day of
the great Wing convention at Stratton
the Gazette said editorially:
& 'grhe Stratton poY WOW, alias a
meeting of all the decency is on.
While we are writing three 4-horse
teams with appropriate notices of
sweep the cabinet,"t Autographs of
log cabins, etc, ETC., are in front of
our office taking on steam in, the
shape of hard cider made harder by
hard brandy"

cases OF smallpox are reported from
cPinney Hollow. in Plymouth, Bridge,
waterrand across the line in the town
of Woodstock, six miles from this
village The state board of health
has placed the infected households
under quarantine, though the cases
are reported to be mild and at Bridge

ing more dangerous than chickenpoX.
The disease first appeared in Pin
ney Hollow. AT the Fourth of July
celebration in Bridgewater many per-

by the presence of visitors from Pin
ney Hollow and several cases soon
made their appearance. 1t is said
that there is no particular cause for
alarm butiievery precaution is being
taken against a spread of the disease.

cARRANzA Debating
Refuses to Recognize Diplomatic
Representatives.

Washington, July 22-Diplomatic
advices reaching Washington from
Mexico today said General Carranza
had given notice that he would not
receive communications from or tran
sact business with foreign govern
ments which had no diplomatic
agents accredited to his government
at Vera Cruz
Enforcement of such an order prac-
tically would cut of the Carranza
government from other communica-
ton with all the foreign nations
which have ministers resident, in
Mexico City. 1t would not, according
to the information received, sever his
informal relations with the United
States government, as Carranza is
understood to regard Consul Silliman
at Vera Cruz as properly accredit-
ed agent.
General Carranza's Washington
agents tonight said they had no adyic
es of any such action on the part of
their leader nor had they heard that
ii was in contemplation. The report
created interest and surprise in offlc-
ial and diplomatic circles. particular
ly in view of the general understand
ing that foreign governments were
awaiting action by the United States
toward Mexico before recognizing any
government in the republic. 1t was
announced recently that Great Britain
had definitely determined to extend
no recognition until government
had been recognized by the United
States.
President Wilson is again focusing
his attention on the Mexican situa-
ton, and within short time may an
nounce his decision as to what
means should be employed by the
United States in order to help Mexico
save herself and serve her people,
On June q .exactiy seven weeks ago
tomorrow, the president in his warn
ing to the Mexican factions said that
If they could not accomm odate their
differences and unite for the purpose
of promptly relieving and redeeming
their country the United States gov
eminent would feel constrained to
act.

Don't Go Too Far.

We will say. without prejudice or an
unfriendly feeling toward the liquor
business, that those engaged in the busi'
ness in this city, are not making friends
by personal abnse of William G. Cody;
nor by trying to create the impression
that he is not in his right mind. Abuse
only makes him more determined in do.
ing what he considers a duty as citi.
zen. He has received many letters OF
encouragement from prominent citizens
commencing his action and if abuse and
the open defiance of the Sunday closing
law continues, it may result eventually
in dry town. A word to the wise should
be sufficient to influence the better class
of saloonmen to recognize the fact, that
large majority of our citizens only ash
for a modicum of respect for law.

FRED CRUFz
FOUND GUILTY
In Justice of the Peace G. A. BuSS
Court at Jefferson For Selling
Liquor on Sunday.

Friday morning, several OF our citi-
Zens went to Jefferson to attend the
trial Of Fred CrueZ for selling liquor on
Sunday upon warrant issued by JUS
tice of the Peace G. A. Buss of that city.
Besides Mr. Cruez were his attorney
Gus Bnchheit, several witnesses and a
few friends who are also engaged i'll the
liquor business.
The case was tried by jury who,
after listening to the evidence OF the
witnesses found the defendant guilty OF
violating the law and Justice Buss fined
him $50 aud costs which amounted to
quite sum. The defendants attorney
fled notice with the court Of an appeal
to the circuit court. Those who have
been saying, that public sentiment
will not enforce the law" can now
change their tune for there is con-
science in Jefferson.
Another case against Mr.. Cruez is to
be tried on the 18th inst.

LEADER INSTALLS
A PROCES PRESSS
Latest Device i'm Art of Printing
and an Improvement Over
Enclosing, Cheaper.

The Leader Office has just been equip
ped with a machine which is the latest
known to the art of printing. 1t Is
known as the STANDARD relief printing
process" and is an improvement over
the process OF embOssing and at the
same time less expensive. Letters rails
ed on stationery and the back of the
sheet not disfgured AS is the case with
embossed work. Then there is a high
gloss effect given which is impossible to
get in ordinary printing. Several of the
business men of the city upon seeing
samples of the new process work, i'm
medlately placed orders for stationery.
1t is grand improvement in the art of
printing not only for commercial work,
but for programs, menu cards, COM
mencement cards, invitations of all
kinds, and in fact anything IN the line
of high-class printing. A look at the
samples of the work already done will
convince any person that the new pro-
cess printing now being turned out by
the Leader is the latest and best known
to the printing art.

MOTHERS SHOULD READ

| A contributor to the Wisconsin
Farmer who signs her article as
| Johns Wife" goes to the bottom of
the trouble and her article is well
worth a persual by mothers:
Being an orphan, / was reared in a
home where the oldest son was mon
arch of the household His mother
was his slave and his brothers and
sisters his servants. His troubles at
school were laid to the fault of the
| teacher. His misdeeds in the com
munity were caused because some of
the other boys led him into it. If his
father reproached him for his conduct,
his mother arose in bitter defense,
scoffed at the "sermonizing," and
thought that his downfallen ancestry
needed his advice worse The mother
didn't want people around in her way,
reading" "Old maids" and SISSY
boys" were an abomination She
didn't have time to go to church, al
though she lived within walking dis
tance. The father tried to bring his
children into the church and Sabbath
school, but without help, and no en-
couragement, he fell by the wayside
The boy married on of the noblest
girls of the country. Although her
married life is of short duration, she
has shed many bitter tears from his
cruelty and neglect. The only re-
deeming trait his mother has to dwell
upon is the fact that he is shrewd in
business and his ability to make
money. She magnifies this doubtful
talent. Was this man born thus? No.
He had tender heart and if taken in
time would have made a good man.
Now he is so hardened that no wife
can reclaim him. | advocate reform,
but | say reform this kind of mother
and vice would be diminished. Take
the children in their infancy, firmly
implant love and reverence for God,
and kindness for others in their hearts
and what kind of men have you? You
would have no heart-broken wives
and neglected children to suffer their
intolerance. The mother who is too
busy to teach her children the things
they should know is just as abomin-
able in Gods sight as the mother who
neglects her children for the. ball
room. One is for pleasure, the other
if for gain. Mothers, it is you and
who must answer to God for this neg
lect and not the teachers and Sabbath
school teachers. If you and | were
the only ones to suffer by these ty-
rants, it would only, be just reward.
But think of the loving wives and
children whose lives are blighted by
these misguided creatures. Do not
shirk your duty in the infancy of
your child, for, "The hand that rocks
the cradle, is the hand that rules the
world"

A WORD TO THE SALOON MEN

1t is quite unnecessary Tor the writer
to make the statement that he is
neither opposed to the saloon nor the
saloonkeeper as a class, and what he
may say is in the interest of the Ii
quor dealers in this city, who by their
open defiance of the law of the state
and public sentiment are making Pro
hibitionists faster than the Anti-Saloon
league If they would show a little
regard for law and public sentiment
in the city, which is fast crystalizing
against the saloon business, they
would not open their saloons Sunday
mornings while people are going to
church and church services are in pro-
gress. They might open at 11:30 a. m.
SO that those who drive in from the
country to attend church services
could get a glass of beer if they felt
so inclined and lunch before return
ing to their homes. Such an arrange
ment would give the saloonkeeper an
opportunity to attend church with
their families and help raise the stand
ard of the liquor business to a higher
plane than it now occupies. They
might keep their saloons open until
6 o'clock in the evening and then
close, that married men might be with
their families or go to church if they
felt SO disposed. The inclination of
the liquor dealers to override the Sun
day law and do as they please is pre-
judicing large number of our citi-
Zens who have no sympathy with pro-
hibition, against the liquor business,
and it looks to the writer as if the sa-
loonmen are thoughtlessly injuring
their business by their disregard for
law and sentiment.
This article is written in the best of
spirit and in the interest of the saloon
men, who ought, in their own interest,
meet public sentiment half way and
thus disarm, in a great measure, the
prejudice their acts have engendered
and we would recommend that meet
ing of the Liquor Dealers association
be called and the matter be discussed
